The vibration lasted four seconds, and is described by Weather Expert McAdie by a readjustment of the outer crust | of the earth. City Engineer Woodward ascertained | yesterday that the concrete foundation | to be used as one of the supports for the Third-street bridge, now being built at the foot of Third street by the Santa Fe Company, is cracked six feet across. the crack being three inches wide and extending to low-water mark.

An interesting lecture from a tech- nical standpoint was delivered before a class of students at the Humboldt Evening Schpol last night by Joseph Oldham. M¢. Oldham, a naval archi- tect, chose ag his subject ““Canals and Locks and Ships Which Pass Through Them.” He dealt not only with the ccnstruction of canals, but also showed | |what a vast aid they have been to | | commerce. { | The lecture was broad in scope, be- ginning with a brief history of the an- | |cient canals, a description of the first | |canals in America, the origin and power of canal locks, the first vessel afioat on the Great Lakes and a com- parison of the trade on the “Soo” and the Suez canals. Reference was also made to the proposed Panama canal.

NEWBRO’S HERPICIDE The ORIGINAL remedy that “*kills the Dandrutf Germ." ING ! The Forum Club, Mrs. Frank Fred- ericks president, enjoyed a red-letter day yesterday when Miss Anna Strun- sky, the clever young Russian writer, | talked about William Morris, poet, | artist and socfalist. Of all the women who have been heard in clubdom during the winter, it is conceded that Miss Strunsky is the most fascinating physically and | the best equipped mentally. Hers is a mind of strength and breadth and | depth—of tremendous heart and brain qualities; and thus endowed, she car- ried her listeners through the splendid | life of the English scholar and think- er, revealing the great, joyful spirit! that dwelt in his breast, and the vast love he held for his fellows. . | His socialistic side, which “appealed | strongly to Miss Strunsky, being her- | self a staunch little socialist, showed ' a complete revolution of the ideas of his day, and even of our day. In his | palatial home, he entertained the cob- bler with the same keen enjoyment as he did the banker, or the poet, loving | all equally well, and believing person- ality to be the only mark of distinction. | | And even this he would make unob- | trusive, believing theat there should be | a homogeneity of the people, rather | than sporadic developments among | them. 1 Hope, joyfulness and usefulness | stamped his life with a seal of love, | | and Miss Strunsky made each hearer | | know and feel the influence of the man | | who lived his whole beautiful life for | his fellows, leaving as a heritage the | now famous Socialistic Federation ot ! London. | Preceding and following Miss Strun- Aaron Cain gave three charming tenor solos, which were warmly re- | cefved. Mrg. Emil Pohli made a short but | eloquent appeal for the purchase of the | Mill Valley grove of redwoods, which is now about to be placed on the mar- | ket for sale. While tea was being sipped Miss Strun held a levee in an embowered corner, bearing in her arms a great bunch of pink roses, the gift of Mrs, Thonas Morffew, who was hostess of | the day. —_——— Carabaos Meet. l | The regular quarterly meeting of | ‘(‘orrnl No. 3 of the Military Order of the Carabao, composed of officers of | the army and navy who served in the| | Philippines, took place at the Occi-| | dentai Hotel Tuesday night. | The following officers were elected ‘tor the enusing year: Paramount Car- {abao, General Charles A. Coolidge; | | patriarch of the herd, Captain Peter | T. Ril lead and wheel Carabao. Cap- | taln J. W. McAndrew; board of Zover- | | nors—Colonel A. C. Markley, Major Ed- | win S. Bean, Captain W. P. Burnham. | | The following hombres were initiated | jas Carabao with the beautiful cere- | mony of the order: Colonel C. A. Wil- | liams, Colonel George Filmer, Major b Harry A. Leonhauser, Captains R. W. | Rose, R. A. Brown, J. H. Wholley, Her- man Hall, W. M. Morrow, W. A. Cleary, Lieutenants J. C. Righter, Fred ‘W. Hershler, W. M. Hughes, C. Mc- Laughlin. General Charles A. Woodruff, gran paramount of the order and the foun- der of the Corral, acted as bombinero. The evening was pleasantly spent in | soldier songs and stories reminiscent of service in’the tropics. —_——— | Advocates Progress. | A well attended meeting of the res- | idents and property owners of the Sunset Valley District was held last night. Several measures looking to the betterment of this particular sec- tion of the city was advocated. Ad- ditional lights were asked for on sev- eral street corners in the more inhab- ited portion of the valley. The Unit- ed Rallroads was requested to im- prove the railroad track on H street, Wwhere it is out of order. St. Rose | avenue between Perry and Parker Isl to be severed and graded by the prop- erty owners. Forty-elghth avenue be- tween B and C streets is to be graded and sewered by Contractor Felix Mc- Hugh. The Board of Public Works will be requested to construct a catch sewer and basins on Forty-seventh, Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth ave- nues. ' of presiding in the Senate during the | absence of Lieutenant Governor Alden | Anderson. If the contest between Wolfe | and Leavitt should engender bitterness Lietuenant Governor Anderson will go into training to develop sufficient physi- | cal strength to preside in the Senate at all hours of the forthcoming session. CONTINGENT FUND. Legislators are already discussing the perplexing question of patronage. The | open-handed- and generous statesmen | favor $20 a day for each Senator and | $10 for each Assemblyman of the ma- | jority. The conservatives figure that! $12 for Senators and $6 for members of | the lower house would be about right. The story goes that an allowance in ex- 1 cess of the latter apportionment would | not meet with executive approval. The | Legislature, however, has control of its | own contingent fund. The Governor, of | course, can veto an appropriation for | contingent expenses if his judgment | demands such action, but the veto| power is seldom used to curb such ex- | travagance. Again, it is comprehended | that a Legislature bent on appropriat- | ing money for contingent expenses ! would not hesitate to override an ex- ecutive veto. | It is probable that the Republican | writ of habeas corpus for the release from custody of George E. Letcher, | the San Jose capitalist, who is wanted in Ohio on a charge of arson. The copy of the indictment submitted to the Governor on which he issued his warrant of extradition was handed to the Judge yesterday morning and he found that it contained the allegation of a crime having been committed contrary to the statutes and against the peace and-dignity of the State of Ohio, which was_wanting in the cer- tified copy - originally placed before him. The Judge, however, pointed out ! other inconsistencies in the indictment and said he would reserve his decision | till this morning as to whether the in- dictment was fatally defective as urged by the counsel for petitioner. ————— Dr. McClish to Lecture. Dr. Eli McClish, president of the University of the PRacific, will lecture | Presbyterian | at the First TUnited Church, corner of Golden Gate ave- nue and Polk street, to-morrow even- ing on “The Seer and His Visions.” Admission to the lecture will be free. e ——————————————————————— ADVERTISEMENTS.
