Watch New High Tides.

Seattle, Wash.—Observations of tides by the United States survey ship McArthur in Turnagain bay and Knlk Arm, Cook inlet, Alaska, show the first scientific data of what are probably the second highest tides in the world. Capt. Henry L. Deck of the McArthur, which has returned from the north, noted tides of 80 feet variation, and a tidal current of eight knots. The only tides which are known to exceed this record are in the Bay of Fundy.
