The first business was introduced by Aid. Raymer, as chairman of the Sewerage Committee, who read the following letter from Messrs. Canavan and Mitchell, civil engineers of Victoria, applying for the position of engineers for the new sewerage scheme which the council have under consideration: Gentlemen :- RE PROPOSED SEWERAGE AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM We are prepared to undertake the design of your proposed sewerage and sewage disposal system and to supervise its construction, subject to the following conditions: Complete designs, specifications and estimates will be submitted by us for approval by your honourable body. Upon approval, in order that the city may secure the best and most economical construction, the execution of the work is to be carried out entirely under our supervision. Choice of material shall be al our discretion, and all material necessary for the work shall be ordered by the city upon requisition by us. A resident engineer, paid by us, shall be present on the ground and be responsible to us for the proper conduct and progress of the work. All other employees in connection with the work shall be chosen, employed or discharged and the rate of their renumerotion fixed entirely at our discretion. Payrolls and vouchers, certified by us, ahall be submitted monthly and these as well aa what time checks may be necessary, shall be honoured upon presentation to the city. While we shall endeavour to make use of local material and labour where other things are equal, it is understood that we shall be under no obligation to do so, when, in our opinion, the best interests of the city will not thereby be served. Our fees shall be at the rate of ten per cent, of the entire cost of all labour and material in connection with this work, as shown by the audited monthly statements of expenditure. These shall be payable on the tenth of the month following that for which the statement applies. RE PROPOSED STREET IMPROVE- MENT We are also prepared to make recommandations, designs and specifications for the proposed street improvement of Kelowna and to supervise its construction. Our fees for this work shall be five per cent, of its total cost. It is understood that the designs for all work ahall be prepared in such a manne'r that future extensions of street pavements, sewers and sewage disposal plant may be made in entire harmony with work already done, but that the works proposed to be executed under your current money by-laws shall not exceed in estimated cost the sums appropriated therefore. It is further understood that in the event of your decision to dispense with our services at any time whatsoever prior to the completion of the work represented in amount by your current sewerage and street by-laws, we shall receive the sum of five hundred dollars ($500) within one month from date ol such notification, thia sum to be in consideration of our services in prepaiing the initial designs and report. With this clear understanding of our respective positions in this matter, we feel sure that the work can be carried on in an efficient manner satisfactory to you. If this proposal meets with your approval we should be glad to have your acknowledgment. Yours very truly, CANAVAN & MITCHELL, per A. K. Mitchell. Aid. Raymer said the committee had met and discussed the matter with these gentlemen, and were quite satisfied with their qualifications, and although the conditions expressed in the letter might need some modification, he moved that the firm be appointed for the work. The following resolution was passed : " That Messrs. Canavan k Mitchell be and are hereby appointed to act as engineer's for the sewerage and street improvement as per their communication of May 29th. A resolution was also passed that the sum of $250 be paid to to Mr. R. H. Parkinson for his report on the sewerage scheme. It was the intention of Mr. Mitchell, said Aid. Raymer to com mence work at once. He advised starting at once wii'i the improvement of Bernard Ave., as the plans for the sewerage system would take some time preparing. If the committee decided, said the Mayor, to put the sewers in the lanes so that the main street would not be interfered with, it might be aa well to go ahead at once with the proposed improvement. Aid. Sutherland reported that he had seen Dr. Dickson in reference to the secretaryship of the Irrigation Convention. It would mean that he would have to engage someone to look after his ranch so that the salary of $100 per month which was offered him would practically have to be handed over to someone else. He had however, promised to undertake the work, and devote hia whole time to it. The following resolution was passed : " That Dr. Dickson be appointed local secretary of the Irrigation Convention at a salary of $100 per month from June 1st to August 20th. Dr. Dickson would take up at once, said Aid. Sutherland, the publicity work suggested by Mr. Rankine, the secretary of the Irrigation Association. The latter had asked for photographs of Kelowna and district, and articles of interest to be inserted in each issue of " Western Canada." Mr. Rankine would co-operate in every way with the local secretary and had promised to practically place the publication at the disposal of Kelowna for the next two months. He trusted the Board of Trade and everyone else would assist in making the convention a success. Mr. J. A. Bigger, the building inspector attended with a report on the condition of the C.P.R. building on the wharf. He said that upon examination he had found it to be unsafe. The rafters and roof beams were burned and the roof had already spread out about two feet wider in the cen're. It was contended that the responsibility for its condition rested with the cily, and the clerk was instructed to notify the C.P.R. super tendent that the inspector had con demned the building aa unsafe and to request that it either be taken down or repaired. Mr. R. H. Parkinson attended with the new map of thr city he was preparing. The map had involved an enormous amount of work and- was not yet complete, but was in such shape that it could be used by the city assessor, whose work was being held back for want of it. Aid. Blackwood proposed that the account of D. Mills of $60 for work done at the nuisance ground be paid. This was passed. The following accounts were referred to the finance committee for payment: F.

Millie urged the necessity of purchasing a landing net for the use of the fire brigade. The mayor suggested that it would be better for the brigade to make a request and present it to the council through Aid. Millie in proper form. The meeting then adjourned.

It was decided to hold a special meeting of the Board for the purpose of considering these plans. Baseball Kelowna, 6 Enderby, 8 It was a great game that was played on the park Monday, and drew a good crowd of enthusiasts. Although the loss of the point did not seriously affect Kelowna's standing in the league, we should have liked the local boys to have come out on top. However, as it was they put up a great show but were outclassed by the Enderby team whose 8 runs were very well played for. The game throughout was good and some fine individual effects were shown. Below can be seen at a glance how the league stands.

The council promised to give the matter consideration. Okanagan Rural Deanery Meets at Penticton A meeting of the Rural Deanery of the Okanagan took place this week at Penticton under the presidency of the Rev. Thos. Greene, rural dean.

Wedding Bells JENKINS-HALL Although the Kelowna Baptist church is not by any means a new building, the first wedding to be celebrated within its walls took place Tuesday evening, when Mr. Hugh Jenkins, superintendent of the Sunday-school and one of the most prominent workers for the church, was married to Miss Edith Julie Hall, who arrived only the preceding day from Birmingham, England. The church was prettily decorated for the occasion with roses and wild flowers, and there was a very large gathering of friends of the bridegroom, the church being filled to the doors. The service was rendered all the more attractive by the presence of the choir who gave musical selections. Mr. J. B. Knowles acted the part of groom'* man. According to custom a Bible was presented to the couple to commemorate the fact of their being the first to be married in the church. The happy pair were also the recipients of many presents from friends, including a handsome library table from the church members. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. D. J. Welsh, pastor of the church. Mr. H. W. E. Canavan and Mr. A. K. Mitchell of the firm of Canavan & Mitchell, who have been appointed engineers for the city in connection with the new sewerage and street improvement schemes left forVictoria last week. Monday was the 47th birthday of King Georpe V. and was understood to be a general holiday all over the Dominion. Some places took the matter up wilh great enthusiasm and closed all stores and buisness places. In Kelowna, however, except for the schools and banks, loyalty did not prove active enough to take another holiday so soon after the 24th of May. Mr. A. W. Barber, the new proprietor of Biggin Si Poole's store, has purchased from Mr. Hoy the house on the east end of Bernard Rutland. News (From our own rorrenpundent.)

There were some hard fought games and although the Kelowna club won the majority of the matches, the final result in games was Kelowna 120, Bench Lawn Tennis Club 106.

Government Scheme to Place Immigrants The following letter, received by the local secretary of the Farmers' Institute, will be read with interest by those who are requiring help. II run with intelligence and busi uess-likc promptness such a scheme of affording an authoritative medium ol exchange between farmers and newcomers should prove a great benefit to all concerned ;- Sir.��� " Official communication has been received from Mr. W. W. Scott, Superintendent of Immigration at Ottawa, with regard to the direct Ing ol immigrants to places where they will be most likely able to secure laitu wolk 01 domestic ser vice, as the case may be. It is the desire of the Superintendent of Immigration that this department should publicly make it known that his department in turn will be pleased to direct immigrants to farmers desiring such immigrant help as may apply from time to time. This movement, of course, is only about to assume actual being, and it will be some time before much progress is made, though .liiiih that encouragement along this line would be of material benefit to farmers of ihe districts in the province and also residents who are requiring assistance in their households. I should be glad II yon would bring this communication before your committee, and if at any time you have any inquiry along these lines, kindly communicate with the Superintendent of Immigration al Ottawa immediately."

When your child has whooping cough be careful to keep the cough looae and expectoration easy by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as mav be required. This remedy will also liquify the tough mucus and make it aaaier to expectorate, ^ It has been used auccaasfulfy in many epidemics and ia safe and sure. For sale by all dealers. A machine which it is asserted will destroy weeds by fire and extinguish the flames and sparks immediately afterward to prevent fire from spreading is one of the recent inventions described. It uses crude oil which is driven by boiler pressure into a mixer where it combines with steam at a heat sufficient to vaporize the oil. From the mixer the oil and steam are conveyed through a tube to burners, combustion takes place and the flames are driven down to the roots of the weeds with a steam pressure of 120 pounds. Practically any number of burners may be used. By using a fine spray of oil it is possible to burn out stubborn growths like salt grass and other stubborn weeds while they are green. By this method the gutters of residential streets, where the traffic is not heavy enough to keep down the weeds, may be kept clear. The burner is covered wilh an apron of sheet steel, lined wilh fire proof material an inch thick, to localize the fire and prevent damage lo fences, shrubbery, etc.. After the flame has done its work it is extinguished by a fine spray of water forced over the ground. A hand burner is recommended for clearing gutters. This is a small type, mounted on a cart with tongue fastened to the rear of ihe machine in such a way thai it can be guided along the line. It is claimed that twenty miles can be cleared in a day, and all seeds and roots destroyed. Perhaps our city council may give consideration to this as a means ol fighting the dandelion plague.

KELOWNA FURNITURE CO. " We Make Homes Happy." Blame for the Titanic Blame for the Titanic "disaster is chargeable directly to the failu.e ol the dead Captain Smith to heed repeated warnings of icebergs ahead, but responsibility for unnecessary loss of life must be shared by Captain Lord of the steamship California, through his disregard of distress signals. This is the finding of the Senate committee which investigated the sinking of the Titanic, as prepared in a comprehensive speech delivered by William Alden Smith of Michigan, chairman of the committee. Senator Smith declared that responsibility also rests upon the British Board of Trade, to whose laxity of regulation and hasty inspection, the world is largely indebted for ihe awful fatality. In denouncing Captain Lord of the California, the Senator said the Titanic's distress signal wa" plainly seen from the deck of his vessel a short distance away. America will leave to England the chastisement of those guilty, asserted the Senator, and he quoted British law to show that Captain Lord might be prosecuted for a misdemeanor. Biggest Boat Afloat The Hamburg-American Line's new mammoth transatlantic liner " Imperator," the biggest vessel in the world, was successfully launched at Hamburg on May 23rd. Emperor William acted as sponsor Johannes Burchard, Lord Mayor of Hamburg, delivered an address on the recent great developments in ��hipbui!ding. The launching weight of ihe " Impefalor " was 29,755 lona, but when completed il is believed she will displace about 52,000 tons. Among the innovations introduced into the new vessel as a result of the Titanic tragedy thecompany has determined to swing overboard the life-boats, in which room is provided for every soul carried by the steamer. The "Imperator "will carry three wireless operators, thus providing for continual service. The dynamo for the illumination of the vessel and for the wireless apparatus is to be carried above the water line. Wilbur Wrighl, the worldrfamed inventor and aviator, died Thursday last at Dayton, Ohio. He was one of the two brothers who were practically the inventors of the biplane. Premier McBride states that financial arrangements have been completed for the building of the railway from North Vancouver to Fort George, the government guaranteeing $35,000 a mile. The fiercest forest fires for years are raging through the country north of Prince Albert city. The Hudson Bay railway survey camps were destroyed with a loss of all outfits. Much valuable timber has been burned. The minister of militia is considering a plan to establish thirteen new trading camps on a scale similar to "the Wetawawa Camp,including two for British Columbia, one in the north and one in the south. The British government returns of emigration show that the following went to Canada during April: From England, 20,123; Scotland, 5557; Wales, 316; Ireland, 1,324. Total, 27,370. To the other Dominions the number was 10,624, and to the United States, 13,023. Prince Arthur of Connaught is to be granted leave from the army in-order to pay a visit to his parents in Canada, during the autumn. He will join the king at Balmoral in September and may go to Canada immediately afterwards so as to get some sport during the fall. R. F. Greene, conservative, was elected Friday by acclamation as a member for Kootenay in place of A. S. Goodeve who was appointed to the railway commission. The unopposed election was the result of an amusing blunder on the part of the liberals who had a candidate ready but had mistaken the date of nomination.

It is the wart disease, called also " black scab," ' canker," and " cauliflower disease." It is caused by a fungus lhat forms wrinkled, warty excrescences on the potato, and often reduces it to a black pulpy mass. When this breaks in the ground, it liberates millions of spore-sacs that may infect the soil for years. The disease was first discovered in Hungary in 1896, and since then has spread to many other parts of Europe. It reached England in 1901, and has made great headway not only there, but in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Since the wart disease was reported from Newfoundland in 1909, and il already threatens North America. It is said that only by stopping the importation of potatoes from places known to be infected can the wart disease be kept from getting a foothold in this country. It is hoped, therefore, that the Secretary of Agriculture will be given authority to enforce such a quarantine for the protection of one of our greatest food-crops. Raising a Town In order to raise ihe level of the town eight feet, nearly all the buildings in Wilmington, near Los Angeles, in California, have been placed on temporary wooden supports. Wilmington stands on low ground. Not long ago, when engineers began the work ol dredging the adjacent harbor, it became evident that here was a chance to get, at comparatively little cost, thousands of tons of sand with which to change the grade. A bulkhead waB erected around the land to be filled, and the discharge pipes from the dredger carry the sand to all parts of an area about twenty city blocks in size. Il is estimated that 1,200,000 cubic yards of material will be taken from the harbor bottom, when the grading is done the town will stand high and dry above the harbor, and the principal streets will be on a level wilh ihe docks. His Royal Highness ihe Duke of Connaught, Canada's Governor- General, is expected to visit ihe Okanagan about 3rd ol October. The Right Hon. Walter Long, who was minister of agriculture in the last British Conservative government, will pay a visit to Canada in the Autumn. Mr. Long is one of the leading members of the Conservative party in the old land and is recognised as an authority on agriculture and municipal affairs. The report of the directors of the White Star Line company,-com menting on the loss of the Titanic, says the loss of the fine vessel is a source of deep regret to the directors, but of minor importance compared with the terrible loss of so many lives. The dividend paid to the share-holders last year amounted to sixty per cent, profit on the year's workings, and amounted to $5,373,760. Remember the dale of the visit of Mr. S. L. Taube, eyesight specialist of the Taube Optical Co., of Calgary and Vancouver, who will be at Trench's Drug Store, Kelowna, Friday afternoon, June 14th after the arrival of the boat, until Saturday, June 15th, al 2 p.m. If there is anything wrong with your Eyesight don't fail to consult him All work absolutely guaranteed as tested. 9 Each age of our lives haa its joys.

Record Thursday, June 6 AIR CONQUEST LONG STRUGGLE Barret li of Opinion that the Monoplane Il the Machine of the Future,���Present Speed Must Be Doubled to Secure Safety, The fundamental principle of aero- ���tatlca waa cUaoovered by Archlraedei and formulated aa follows: "Every body plunged into a fluid li subjected by thia fluid to a 'preBaure' from below to above which Is equal to the weight displaced by that body." The firat application of thia principle waa to balloons, oare being taken to produce a body whole totul weight was lees than that of the volume of air It displaced. But although the principle waa thus applied a* fur buck as 1788, It was not until 1884 thut the first balloon capable of being ..Leered waa produced by Col. Henard, who accomplished a circular flight lu what deeerved the title of a dirigible. The reaaon tor this wan that lu order to stear a body floating In a fluid It la absolutely essential that this body should possess ..u ludtrpendt-m apecd, tu permit It to move In the fluid of Its own accord. In 1887 Col Henard succeeded In obtaining an electric motor of eight horsepower weighing only forty kilogrammes a horsepower and capable uf great endurance. Mtmuplunv (be future Mm lilne Today roe !-.') ���N-: V'" succeeded in p rfectlng motors especially designed for aviation of the almost In- credibly light weight uf two kilogrammes a It., "^[iw^'i aud of such perfect action that they can start In un Instant without preliminary preparation. Professor Berget, in his volume "The Conquest ur the Air," explains clearly inul briefly the mechanical difficulty of the problem snd the scientific reasons why It took a century to discover how to guide the machine which Uie Mothers Mont* t.tili'U'i' launched into tbe ulr In 1788, Next came the problems connected with the resistance ot 'he air, which determine the shape of the envelope for a dirigible balloon. A spherical balloon can not b�� propelled. So long ago as the beginning uf the nineteenth century Mare} Monge predicted the necessity of adopting a shape, should an attempt he made to propel aero* .siats, which should have "the head of a cud and the tall of a inaolturel." According we see the fusiform shape lu the Ulffard and Satitos-Dumont, the fish shape lu the Kenard, Le- bauohy and Clement-Bayard snd the cylindrical lu the Zeppelin. As the result of the laws uf air resistance large balloons have nil advantage over the small, (he Zeppelin (18,000 cubic meters) being the largest ever made. though the shape Is RgnluSt Its best Interests In Ihis particular case. The Aeroplane* The forerunner of the aeroplane a .ts the kite. In a chapter entitled "Application uT Oeueral Principles," after discussing the wings aud their proper angle, stahiliiv aud ihe means for Its realization, Prof. Berget pronounces deefdely In favor of monoplanes as aguiiiHt biplanes and declares that the Rheiins week of lull conclusively demonstrated the superiority of ihe monoplane, which appears to be the aviation apparatus of the future. One of the defects of the Wright biplane, he asaerUi to he the warping of the wings to keep the currying surface as horizontal um possible. This must Inevitably end lu endangering the essential solidity of ihe structure, he Bays. Another defect Is that It requires nn extra action oil the part of the pilot.

C. -10NE 19 Further Reductions in Freight Charges And Improved Car Service for Fruit Promised This Year The transportation committee of the British Columbia Fruit Growers' Association has secured some very valuable results for Okanagan shippers by its representations to W. B. Lanigan, head of the Canadian Pacific freight department, Winnipeg. Details of tin work of the committee to'date are as follows : In the Okanagan shippers asked for a low rate on small quantities of various fruits being assembled at central points for re-shipment in carloads. The C.P.R. has recognized the principles of such re- shipment rates as a just one and the flat rate of 10 cents per 100 pounds has already been in operation in the Okanagan for one year to all assembling points in the valley. These rates apply only in a forward direction. The minimum in carload weights of case vegetables has been reduced from 30,000 to 24,000. This rate will operate to great advantage in the caae of vegetables shipped in crates such as rhubarb, cabbage, celery and tomatoes. A number of complaints from various shippers as to delays in transit were brought before Mr. Lanigan. All agents will be instructed this year to give these commodities as quick despatch as possible. Shippers should report complaints promptly so that delays may be investigated and should get these complaints in to the secretary as quickly as possible. lo expedite carload shipments from Okanagan points, the C.P.R. is inaugurating a schedule fruit train service from Okanagan Landing to Revelstoke, avoiding delay at Sicamous and making connection at Revelstoke for the east and giving a running time between Okanngan Landing and Calgary of about 48 hours. The local refrigerator service from Okanagan points to Vancouver and the coasl will again be placed in operation this year and additional barges are being placed on Okanagan lake. The Okanagan nnd Grand Forks shippers pointed out the losses Made to Measure There are men in this town who would not buy a ready-made suit. For such men we have the agency for Fit Reform Made to Measure Clothes. We can honestly recommend the garments made by this big tailoring house and respectfully request you to come in and look over the range of Suitings for Spring and Summer. WE SHOW NEARLY 400 LINES The Oak Hall Clothing Co., Ltd. occasioned by the use of unventi- lated brine tank refrigerator cars. The committee pointed out to Mr. Lanigan the deficiency in these curs nnd lie advmeu 'hat 400 more ventilated refrigerator cars were under construction this year a porr tion of which would be available for this year's crop. He has also! undertaken to fit up all brine tank cars with ventilators as fast as they came into the shops, so that bv the time cars are required in the fruit districts, there should be available a supply of ventilated Bohn-system cars or ventilated brine tank cars. In view of the great inciease in shipments this year, it is quite possible that there may be some car shoitage despite the greatest efforts on the part of the company to provide against it. Where shippers have not made a report to the C.P.R. direct or through the British' Columbia Fruit Growers' Associa-' tion of the number of cars they! expect to require in each month of the shipping season, they should do so at once. The committee represented to Mr. Lanigan the desirability of re-1 ductions in freight rates generally j to prairie points, especially to those of the nearer markets of Alberta and western Saskatchewan, which consume the bulk of British Colum-j bia shipments. He met the view, of the committee, and agreed to a ' reduction according to mileage,' taking the 8th class rate to Calgary 35 cents per 100 pounds in car load. Apples and pears in less than carloads,and "fresh fruits" in carloads take 5lh class. Apples and pears in carloads take 3rd class. The reduction on this basis will extend to a number of the distributing points in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and some of them are as follows:��� Apples in carloads: From Ok,- - nagan district to Calgary, from a 70 cent, rate reduced to 62 cents. Spencc's Bridge to Calgary from an 80 cent rate reduced to 68 cents. Okanagan points to Medicine Hat, from a 75 cent rate reduced to 71 cents. Spence's Bridge to Medicine fiat, from an 85 cent rate reduced to 79 cents. The exact figures Irom oilier points anil for other commodities will be made known in the new tariff, which will be issued as soon as possible. It will be seen thai the reduction'in rates will mean a saving of $24 on apples and pears from Okanagan points to Calgary ; on soft fruits it will probably be about the same. In these two items alone the reductions will mean a saving to the Okanagan this yeni of about $10,000. The committee also pointed out to Mr. Lanigan that British Columbia fruit was not now shipped to the Coast markets in anything like the right proportion, and asked that he make what reduction in rales he could to assist our growers in entering this market, now almost altogether occupied by Oregon and Washington fruit. He accordingly cut the rate on fresh fruit from 53 cents to 48 cents per hundred pounds, apples and pears in carloads from 45 cents to 40 cents. This reduction will not, however, increase the competition which Const fruits may meet on these markets as the effec.t will be to dispiace a certain amount only of the imported American fruit. Ihe reduction in rates and mini- inums nnd improvements in service undertaken by theC. P. R. are made because of the representations of the B. C. Fruit Growers' Association in belief that the same would result in an increase in business to the company. Ihe committee expect that the improvements will put our produce on the market in materially better condition and at less expense.

The flsel and His Snclel>�� The "clan BOOlety" Is, of necessity, a comparatively modern Institution. In the days when nearly all tlie hearers of a surname were to he round In one Highland region, united for mutual protection, owning direct personal allegiance to their chief, the clan Itself was literally a clan society. There 18, Indeed, a notable similarity between the causes of coherence in the old days of the chin and in Ihe new days of the clan society loth were groups of people of tlie same name, who claimed the right to elect their own leaders, who considered themselves as members of one great family, and, as such, bound to help each other in adversity, sickness, or danger. It Is interesting to note that there Is a trnceahle relationship between the time of a clan's misfortune as a historical entity and Its formation of itself Into the modern form of association ��� the clan society Two of the most cruelly wronged duns In Scotland were the Mackays and the Macgregors. Each became tlie victim of harsh oppression, though in dissimilar forms, and we find thut these two clans were among the very first to adapt themselves- to the new conditions, and, though exiled from their ancient lands, to ally their respective members to face the new problems as resolutely as their forefathers had faced the old. .

WALKER, Registrar, Civil Service. Victoria. B.C., Ist May, 1912, 24-29 The British lilue-Jnrl.! The British .Ni��vy Is esBC.-.llally a service which keeps very much to Itself, the consequence Delng Hist the public know very little of what goes on Inside of the m/stlc circle of reticence. It Ib, howovc." a profession In which the rr.ost lcyal eo-operatlon between officers and men bus to he the rule If good results are to be forthcoming. That they ate forthcoming Is only too evident when we read In the newspapers of ships doing well st target practice, etc. A naval life la perforce a very hard one, for sailors all the world over, and unlike their comrades In tbe Army, are always living under uctlw service conditions. They alw.iys have the elements, the most powerful and merciless of foes, to contend with, und when folk ashore are listening to ths wind howling In their chlm neys, our sailors are at sea preparing themselves for Ihe day when our right to ths title "Mistress of the Seas" will ba disputed. *�� That they taks It cheerfully may be deduced from the remark or one oltl salt of a bygone era, who, In s southwesterly gale In the English Channel, and the foretopraast of nts ship having Just broken off close to the cap, remarked to his chum, "Lor' bless me, Bill, but I'm werry glad I ain't ashore. Just think as 'ow ttie chlmbley pots u'd be flylu' about In this 'ere breeie!" That remark sums up the spirit of the present day man-of-war's man very succinctly, for above all things he Is a person who takes the rough with the smooth In a philosophical wsy. having been bred to danger since the day of hia entry Into the service.
