Stran 27 - Few cities in the world can vie with her either in the beauty or in the natural advantages of her situation; indeed, there are only two places in Europe — Constantinople and Gibraltar — that combine an equally perfect landscape with what may be called an equally imperial position.
Stran 76 - Mead, whose recent report is vastly interesting, says of our great valley that the water supply available there "ought to make of it the Egypt of the western hemisphere. Within a radius of five miles I saw every product of the temperate and semi-tropical zones which I could call to mind.
Stran 27 - ... and wine, sweeping away to the southern horizon. The city itself is full of bold hills, rising steeply from the deep water. The air is keen, dry, and bright like the air of Greece, and the waters not less blue.

Stran 39 - Lange, and other collections; museums and laboratories; and the agricultural experiment grounds and station, which are invaluable adjuncts "of the farming, orchard, and vineyard interests of the state. In San Francisco there are 443 officers of administration and instruction, including demonstrators and other assistants; and about 970 students in 1928-29.
Stran 178 - ... weather ; those who need clear skies and sunshine ; to whom the refreshing sleep of a cool, bracing night is a necessity after the warmth of the summer day ; those to whose enfeebled digestion or to whose capricious appetites a market stocked with fresh vegetables, fruits, and berries, every month of the year, is of importance.

Stran 19 - ... cent I have emphasized even to exaggeration. We know our friends by their slight differences in feature or expression, not by their common humanity. Much of this divergence is already fading away. Scenery and climate remain, but there is less elbow-room, and the unearned increment is disappearing.
