People have \ndifferent tastes and inclinations as to what particular things they would \nlike to see, or learn about. And this Hand-book gives a lead to just the \nthings each wants to find, either to see for oneself, or to read full and \nauthentic information about them. And thus you can plan most interest- \ning and satisfactory trips of your own, not confined to the perfunctory \nroutine courses, and make your own excursions by foot, or horseback, or \ncarriage, or automobile, or electric cars. \n\nThe names of places or objects, their location, the way of reaching \nthem, and sometimes a few historic data are given. Then reference is \nmade to pages in the large volume History of Pasadena where full par- \nticulars may be found. Copies of said History are in shelf for free con- \nsultation at the Public Library, or in the libraries of Throop Polytechnic \nInstitute, or the High School, or the Y. M. C. A. Or, it may be purchased \nfrom the Author, at 133 Mary Street ; or at Glasscock\'s Book Store, No. \n96-98 East Colorado Street. \n\n\n\nCopyrighted 1905 by H.

He was asked \nif he thought there had ever been glaciers in this region. He replied, \n"Oh yes, there is no sort of doubt about it." "But you have not men- \ntioned it in any of your writings," said Dr. Reid. To this Prof. Aluir \nanswered: "No; the proofs of it have been so nearly obliterated by \nlater phenomena that only experts or special students in that branch oi \nknowledge would recognize them; hence I have said nothing about it. \nBut there can be no question that glaciers once existed in these moun- \ntains." \n\nGlaclal Lake Bottom. \xe2\x80\x94 The whole plain north of Reservoir Hill, \nincluding Lincoln avenue flat and Linda Vista flat.
