They are simply a “love code” be- im a lonesome daddy and hie lonesome tittle girl. The daddy is Capt. H. F. Dun ningan of the Santa Fe ferryboat San Pedro, and the girl ts his 12 yearold daughter, Florence, a pa ttent In the State Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind at Berkeley Happily Florence retains the fac ulty of sight, and nightly she sits, her nose flattened against the pane of her window, waiting for the mes- sages that come to her across miles of water and land. There appears a finger of light, painting a half-circle against the clouds; daddy {s saying: “Hello; three short flashes, “Love from daddy.” Then, as the San Pedro swings out of range, the light sweeps the | sky; that means “Good-night, with love and kisses.” But the most welcome of all the signals is a stream of light held steadily against the window, thru which peers the little face, That indicates that daddy ts com ing on his weekly visit, and then Uttle Florence is in the height of|most beautiful suffraget in the} ditss.

In 1888 a jam in the north branch was openly blasted out by Pierce county residents, and the river went north. A little later a bie bank of earth fell bodily into the river and it went south again, Pierce county said King county blasted the bank down.
