A young blue jacket of handsome countenance, his face bronze by the sun of the tropics, stepped down the sidewalk briskly. On his sailor's cap the word "Oregon" shone forth in letters of gold. On his left sleeve were the double red stripes signifying his two enlistments. On his right sleeve were first, the bursting shell, indicative of his preliminary steps as a seaman gunner; above the shell two red stripes, bordered with a light band of yellow, and two guns crossed, worked in with silk, indicated his advanced station as gunner's mate; above them an eagle apinion, sewn with white silk thread in the sleeve of blue, indicated his present station as a petty officer in the United States navy. Around his neck hung his white knife lanyard, which was tucked in the opening at his breast, bared to where his shirt front showed an "8-knot" worked in white silk, indicating that he had sprung from Uncle Sam's school of naval gunnery. He stepped out with a jaunty yet modest air, and as the pretty girls in the street eyed him, his eyes fell to the sidewalk, while his memories doubtless wandered far a-sea. Men poked their heads out of doors as the youngster passed on, asking: "Who is that petty officer, and where is he from?" As he passed one man the latter explained: "Hurrah for the Oregon!" He smiled pleasantly, touched his cap and passed on. The young naval gunner was Ernest Kellenberger, whose family formerly resided here, but are now of Buena Park. He it was who captured the Spanish flag which was exhibited at battle was fought in the winter of 1894, and the weather was ice cold. When the Concord left Nagasaki previous to reporting to the fleet, the American Minister at Chemulpo asked to have a guard placed over his legislation, owing to the depredations of rebels and mountain outlaws. The vessel was ordered thither, and Kellenberger went ashore, carrying the battalion flag, along with 21 marines, one seaman and another apprentice. They guarded the place for a month, until quiet was restored. Chemulpo is an ancient walled city of Corea, and maintains its wall principally for the exclusion of tigers, which abound in that country. It was the base of Japanese operations during the war with China, and is a city of no mean importance. The Baltimore relieved the Concord, and the latter went up the Yang-tse-Kiang river to protect the American missionaries. The vessel remained up the river all winter, taking turn about with Germany, England and France in patrolling the river as a means of protection to the missionaries. Kellenberger later saw the battle of Chefoo between the Japs and Chinese, in which the latter were signally defeated. At Foochow several American missionaries were murdered, the victims numbering six or seven. The Concord was ordered to that point, remaining there for two and a half months, until quiet was restored. In March, 1896, the ship received orders to sail for home. The vessel left Yokohama for Honolulu, arriving at that port in 17 days. It laid a week at that port, and nine days later hit San Francisco. Thus a trip which was at first thought to promise nothing but a short cruise, developed into one of absorbing interest, covering a distance greater than the earth's circumference, and carrying the apprentices into many strange countries, giving them a foretaste of battles on the water to come to them later in their careers. At San Francisco the Concord went out of commission for repairs. Here Kellenberger's time expired, and he obtained his discharge and went to his home in Oregon, where his parents then resided. He remained at home two months, when he returned to Mare Island, and on July 20, 1896, enlisted for the second time, going on the receiving-ship Independence and being shortly transferred to the battle-ship Oregon, on which he was destined two years later to make the memorable voyage from New York to Manila. He continued on the Oregon until October 1, 1897, when his application to enter the school of naval battle was fought in the winter of 1894, and the weather was ice cold.

On Oct. 12,1898,the Oregon As he passed one man the latter exclaimed: "Hurrah for the Oregon!" He smiled pleasantly, touched his cap and passed on. The young naval gunner was Ernest Kellenberger, whose family formerly resided here, but are now of Buena Park. He it was who captured the Spanish flag which was exhibited at Congressman Needham's opening campaign meeting here last September. Cheers were given for him at that time. The war with Spain was then over, but the sight of the yellow flag provoked the greatest enthusiasm. Kellenberger returned on the Sherman with the California volunteers, having been at Manila as a gunner on the Oregon. On the trip of that battle ship from New York to Manila he was in charge of the gun in the after turret. The vessel entered Manila harbor at a 12-knot gait, with decks cleared for action, and with shells in the ammunition hoists, ready to go into battle at a moment's notice. She dropped anchor alongside the Olympia, and Admiral Dewey came aboard. Kellenberger was a member of the crew manning the torpedo-boat McKeen during the Cuban blockade, and saw fighting. He helped burn 50 Spanish sloops, eleven of them going up in flames in one day. A Spanish sailing vessel had its jib shot away by the McKeen, and then another ball crashed through her quarter deck, when she stopped, and Kellenberger went aboard in charge of the boarding crew. From this vessel he took the flag, which he found in a locker down below while ransacking the vessel. He has had an eventful career in the navy, and to a reporter of this paper consented to tell the story of his two enlistments: Kellenberger enlisted in the United States navy as a naval apprentice when 17 years of age, Jan. 4, 1892, in the city of New York. He was assigned to the Minnesota, a receiving ship for boys. He remained twenty days on the vessel, receiving his first instruction in the vocation which he had chosen to follow. When twenty apprentices had been collected, he went with his class to the Newport, R.I., training station, where he remained five months, drilling hard every day. From here he was sent to the training-ship Jamestown, on which he served four months. The ship was after that laid up, and has never since been put back into commission. He went to Norfolk, Va., in September of the same year, and was shortly sent to Portsmouth, N.H., where he was assigned to service on the training-ship Monongahela, an old converted steam frigate. He went with her on an eleven-months' cruise in European and West Indian waters. Off the coast of Lisbon the ship came near going on a lee-shore, owing to adverse winds and weather, and two of the boats of the Portuguese life-saving station prepared to put to sea as a rescue expedition. The ship made port without further mishap, however, thanks to the skillful handling of the vessel by the captain. The ship, after leaving Lisbon, touched at Madeira, in the Cape Verde islands, and then made for Barbados, in the West Indies. On this trip across a boy was lost overboard. The vessel returned to Newport after an eleven-months' cruise. Thirty apprentices were now selected He remained at home two months, when he returned to Mare Island, and on July 20, 1896, enlisted for the second time, going on the receiving-ship Independence and being shortly transferred to the battle-ship Oregon, on which he was destined two years later to make the memorable voyage from New York to Manila. He continued on the Oregon until October 1, 1897, when his application to enter the school of naval gunner at Washington, D.C., having been approved by the Navy Department; he left the ship and started for the national capital, reporting for duty October 7th. He remained a pupil in the school until March 1 of the following year, when he was sent to Newport to complete the course; half of the time of instruction being allotted to each place. Already there were rumblings of the coming war with Spain, and the young gunner was eager to enlist for the fray. He was in Newport when the Spanish Minister was given his passports. The Spanish cruiser Viscaya had anchored in New York harbor, and the blood of the young blue jacket ran rioting in his veins. The departure of the Spanish Minister was followed by Gen. Woodford leaving Spain, and in a few days the war embers leaped into a flame. The navy was speedily on the alert. Admiral Sampson and his blockading squadron proceeded to Cuba, and Admiral Schley and his flying squadron rendezvoused at Norfolk. Admiral Cervera had started for the Cape Verde islands, and the nation was worked up to a high pitch of tension. Yet a few days and the electrical news of Dewey's destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila thrilled the world to its uttermost confines. The country was in a cataclysm of patriotic ferment. These were trying days for the young naval apprentices at Newport. When the war broke out the class of thirty petitioned the Navy Department to be assigned to active service. The Department coolly replied that it knew where the naval apprentices were; and would call upon them when it wanted them; that they had been sent to Newport for instruction, and to continue with their studies. This was a dampener, and the apprentices felt seriously aggrieved at being denied the privilege of taking a hand in the scrap. But the time of Kellenberger's opportunity approached at last. He had become so proficient in the art of naval gunner that during the latter part of May he was assigned to duty on the torpedo boat McKeen, Capt. Kneffer, commanding, and was ordered to Norfolk. However, while going through the Chesapeake canal the McKeen ran into a log and stove in its bow, the bow being completely turned around. It had to return to Norfolk for repairs, which consumed ten days. On June 1st it finally got away and put to sea, bound for Key West. Cervera was momentarily expected in the West Indies. Arriving at Key West the McKeen was detailed to take the Hawk's prize crew back to that vessel. The prize crew had just brought in the German ship Bergen, one of the numerous prizes of the war. The Bergen was captured by the Hawk as it attempted to run into Sagua la Grande, on the north coast of Cuba. Later the prize court released the vessel. The McKeen conveyed the prize crew back to the Hawk, commanded by Capt. Hood, and was then ordered on blockade duty at Sagua la Grande. He remained at key west week, when yellow fever broke out and the vessel was ordered to Norfolk. Kellenberger went to New York. He received a copy of this paper for taining the account of the Needham meeting, and stating that the flag had captured had been exhibited at the meeting, had provoked great applause and that three cheers have been given for him. His family resided in this city. On Oct. 12, 1898, the Oregon Iowa sailed from New York for Pacific. Kellenberger had joined old ship, which was commanded by Capt. Barker. There were nine vessels in the fleet, collars, refrigerator ships and supply boats. Bahia was read in 21 days; then in the order naval Rio Montevideo and the Straits Magellan, where the ships cooled Point Arenas,"the last place in world," as Kellenberger says. Trip was then taken up by Pacific so many months before the Oregon raced around the Horn other than commanded by Capt. Clark. The ships arrived at Valparaiso find the Chileans in their usual humor. Not a South American rebellion but thought Spain would be better than in war. Chile was surprised and discomfited to realize real but when her people saw the Iowa Oregon their eyes opened in exquisite wonderment. Four days spent at Valparaiso,the battle-ship ing just outside,decked in their paint and ready for a fight at an important notice. The ships next took at Callao,where they were received with demonstrations of great joy The Peruvians.The men had 48 hertz"and all went ashore.President issued an order to authorities not to molest the Americans They were their friends,and wanted them to have their fill of without restraint. "Did you paint the town red," asked the reporter. "Well I think we did," replied man-of-war's man with a smile: painted it red, white and blue!"

Off the coast of Lisbon the ship came near going on a lee-shore, owing to adverse winds and weather, and two of the boats of the Portuguese life-saving station prepared to put to sea as a rescuing expedition. The ship made port without further mishap, however, thanks to the skillful handling of the vessel by the captain. The ship, after leaving Lisbon, touched at Madeira, in the Cape Verde islands, and then made for Barbadoes, in the West Indies. On this trip across a boy was lost overboard. The vessel returned to Newport after an eleven-months' cruise. Thirty apprentices were now selected to go on a European cruise on the cruiser Chicago, and Kellenberger was fortunate enough to be one of the number. He built high hopes of shipping on one of the finest vessels of the navy, but was doomed to disappointment, inasmuch as the cruiser took only twelve apprentices. Kellenberger being among those left behind. He was sent to the Brooklyn navy yard, where he went aboard the Vermont, and was sent two weeks later to Norfolk to join the Concord's crew. He served on this vessel until the expiration of his term of enlistment, a period altogether of four years and five months. The Concord was one of the white squadron, and was in the Manila fight with Admiral Dewey. On July 3, 1893, the Concord put to sea, ostensibly to test her compasses. The apprentices thought they would have a short cruise outside, but the vessel had a longer voyage in prospect, and steamed more than half way round the world. It sailed through the Suez canal for China, and was at Siam during the trouble between the French and Siamese in the latter territory. The Concord sailed for Hongkong and reported for duty to Admiral Carpenter, who recently committed suicide in the East. It was assigned to duty at Manila, and when the apprentices were looking forward to a pleasant cruise through the Dutch West Indies, orders came for the ship to report to Yokohama and prepare to proceed to the Behring sea to watch the pelagic seal fishers. The ship was four months in the Arctic, when the Chinese-Japanese war coming on, the vessel was ordered to return post haste to Yokohama, where it arrived on Sept. 9, 1894. The vessel was ordered to Chefoo, where it reported to the fleet, which was composed of the Baltimore, Charleston, Petrel and other vessels, under Admiral Carpenter. Kellenberger saw the Japs take Port Arthur, which is, he says, next to Gibraltar, the most strongly fortified place in the world. The American fleet were lying some seven miles out during the battle, which can hardly be dignified into a naval engagement. The Japs entered the harbor without difficulty, sinking the Chinese battle-ship Chen-Yuen and capturing the harbor. Two Japanese torpedo-boats were lost, the crew of one of them being frozen to death during the engagement. The boat was ordered into the harbor to cut out a number of lighters. On entering the McKee discovered, to its surprise, three Spanish gunboats in the harbor. Kellenberger was in charge of the forward Hotchkiss gun. The McKee steamed straight ahead, and when within 2000 yards of the enemy the forward gun gave them a shot, which was simultaneously returned by the Spaniards. On pulling the trigger Kellenberger seized his binoculars. A puff of smoke curled from one of the Spaniards, and in another instant a shot struck the water ahead of the gallant torpedo boat. He fired again, and taking up his glasses speedily, saw his boat was out of range. The McKee moved in closer. Spanish shot struck the water around and in front of the McKee, but happily none struck the vessel. The engagement lasted 20 minutes, the McKee firing 120 shots. The McKee drew only three feet of water. A regiment of Spanish soldiers appeared upon the shore, fearful lest the boat with its crew of 13 would disembark its men and take the town. The enemy being backed by a fort, the McKee retired. The Spaniards dared not follow. As the McKee was going around a bend in the bay on going in, it ran across a Spanish schooner making port under sail. A shot was fired across its bow, but it refused to stop. Then a second shot tore away its jib, and another smashed her quarter boat. Twelve shots were fired at the Spaniard, when she was hove to and her sails came down on a run. The Spanish gunboats inside the harbor heard the firing, but they were too cowardly to come out and take up the fight. The McKee ran up alongside the schooner, and Kellenberger was placed in charge of a boat's crew that boarded the vessel. It was found to be loaded with wine and beans and a miscellaneous cargo of merchandise. From this schooner the Spanish flag which was exhibited here in September last, when Congressman Needham opened his campaign, was taken by Kellenberger. He searched the vessel finding no contraband goods aboard, but he took the flag which he found in a locker down below. The flag is now the property of his parents. The Spaniards were very badly frightened. The Oregon not heard of the events of the time month. When she left Honors trouble seemed to be in prospect Germany. The battle-ship steamed into Manila with guns cleared for action, and with shells in the ammunition hoists, ready to go into action. Admiral Dewey came aboard and loudly cheered. He complained Capt. Barker and his crew on splendid appearance of the vessels their fine run. The wrecks of the Spanish war sels could be seen in the bay Reina Christina, Don Juan de Udon Juan de Austria and the other Here Kellenberger's second ten enlistment expired, and he applied and obtained his discharge. He served 3 years and 7 months, making total enlistment of 8 years homeward journey was made in Sherman, which brought home California volunteers. The Shear sailied July 26th. Four days were at Nagasaki, where the men given liberty. The ship then proceed up the Inland sea, and spent two at Yokohama. The ship took them north route; to encounter cold weather a preventive of disease, and on April 23d at 2 o'clock in the afternoon arrived off the Farallones. An hour two later it arrived outside the bay and was sighted by a tug. Governor Gage came out to welfthe boys on the tug Governor Mamah, along with Mrs. Duboce, whilethe Colonel of the First California ment,and a party of friends.Sherman threw its search light upon the Governor and Mrs.Duice.The word went around that the Governor had arrived alongside in a tug mighty cheer went up for him later for Mrs. Duboce.The menthe tug cheered the soldiers,and feeling prevailed all around.

There was a joyous reunion in Kellenberger household at the rear of the absent one, and the young gunner has been having a great ashore ever since.

The Spaniard was released the board were profuse with their meshes, shaking hands and bowing to all. It set about and connue its way to port. McKee was nine weeks on duty, and during that time, Hawk, Viking and Siren, caped and burned some fifty sloops, oblited between their ports and aside, meeting vessels at night, bring a cargo of merchandise and making port unharmed. One of these sloops was eleven being burned in one of their occupants would be set to find their way home as best would; such provisions as the ants needed were confiscated; bunks were poured with kerosene, applied and up they went, so the flames.

He looks for a promotion and aspires to be chief gunner's mate, and after that gunner, when his ambition will be satisfied. Personally he is of a retiring disposition, is modest of his achievements, and is in every way a worthy representative of Uncle Sam's navy. Next Monday and Tuesday the Farmers' Institute meets at the Opera-house in this city. That there will be a large attendance, especially at the evening session, goes without saying; but we wish to impress upon the business men of the city that they might advantageously lay aside the cares of business for a day or two and attend the morning and afternoon sessions. Much interesting information may be derived at these meetings, and the visiting gentlemen should moreover be made to feel that our business men take an active interest in the Institute. There will be five sessions; one on Monday morning, another on Monday afternoon, and a third the evening of the same day. Two sessions will be held on Tuesday, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The complete program will be found presented in another column on this page. Among papers to be read at the Institute are two by Prof. Hilgard of the experiment station at Berkeley, one on "Bleaching Walnuts," than which there is not a subject engrossing more attention upon the part of our walnut growers; the other on "Alkali," which is also a topic of great importance to the farmers. Prof. Cook will talk upon "Birds and Bees in Horticulture," and will conduct the question box, which will doubtless be one of the interesting features of the meetings. Prof. Wickson of Berkeley has several interesting papers, among them "Pruning and Thinning Deciduous Fruit," a subject upon which our horticulturists are especially interested. The price of apricots has jumped from $8 to $34 in two years, and if the growers expect to keep up these prices they should know all about pruning and thinning. They should hear Prof. Wickson talk upon this subject; he is an authority upon it. George H. Maxwell will talk upon the "Development of Water," and there will be numerous papers by local talent as well. E. K.

California almonds are wanted in the New York market, but are difficult to obtain, the supply being controlled by a combine. There are alleged to have been some misrepresentations in securing control, and that fact promises to cause considerable bad feeling before the crop is finally distributed. According to the story of a prominent dealer, early in the season, when there were prospects for the largest crop of almonds California had ever known, representatives of certain California commission houses induced several of the larger buyers to place orders for California almonds, with the understanding that their interests would be looked after when prices were made. Under the influence of this promise buyers refrained from bidding or figuring on lots offered. In the mean time a syndicate is said to have been formed by three California firms which bought up everything obtainable, paying these figures: Langue, 7 cents; Strake seedlings, 74 cents; I. X. L. and Ne Plue Ultra, 91 cents; Nonpareil, 10 cents. Then they forgot their promises to confirm their orders at from 20 to 25 per cent above cost. One prominent handler said, in speaking of the matter, that if the syndicate expected to make enough money to retire from business on this season's almond sales, their course could be explained. The only people pleased are the handlers of imported goods, who are jubilant over the turn affairs have taken. One dealer said that where he expected to be obliged to reship his Tarragonas and Ivicas, he would now be able to dispose of them profitably. Early in the season, when the syndicate was getting ready to begin operations, the crop was estimated at 350 cars. Now the estimate, according to the syndicate, has dropped to 150 cars, but disinterested information indicates that the actual yield will be about 250 cars. Telegrams received indicate that the syndicate has overrated itself, and does not control the entire crop; and that some of the buyers who were deceived will have almonds to sell, and probably plenty of them. There is likely to be fierce competition, and the probability is that the syndicate will not have things all its own way by any means. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S.D.: "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time.

Just How Great a Force Is Expended on the Plano. The amount of power expended on playing on a piano has recently been figured out in a way which, if not altogether accurate, is at least interesting. Commenting on the statement that it really requires more force to sound a note gently on this instrument than it does to lift the lid of a kettle, says Woman's Life, it is easy to verify it, if one takes a small handful of coins and lies them on a key of a piano. When a sufficient quantity is piled up to make a note sound, they may be weighed, and the figures will be found to be true. If the pianist is playingortissimo, a much greater force is needed. At times the force of six pounds is thrown upon a single key to produce a solitary effect. With chords the force is generally spread over the various notes sounded simultaneously, though a greater output of force is undoubtedly expended. This is what gives pianists the wonderful strength in their fingers that is often commented on. One of Chopin's compositions has a massage which takes two minutes and five seconds to play. The total pressure brought to bear on this, it is estimated, is equal to three full tons. The average "tonnage" of an hour's playing of Chopin's music varies from 2 to 84 tons.

Music. The Highest Windmill. The highest windmill in England is the "High Mill" at Great Yarmouth. It is believed also to be the highest in the world. Built in 1812, at a total cost of $50,000, its height in brick is 100 feet, and the wooden cage on the summit further increases this another ten feet. In a high wind the mill works at 30 horsepower and is capable of grinding nine comb of wheat an hour or crushing ten comb of oats an hour. His Side of It.
