THE MOSQUES OF STEAMBOAT

The mosque of Suleiman is considered
one of the most glorous monuments Of
Osmanli architecture. The court facing the
entrance is surrounded on three sides with
colonnades, which are covered with twenty
three domes. A fountain with cupola
stands in the centre of the court; the
nlinarets spring from the four corners Of
the outer court The effect is very strik-
ing and elegant, Attached to this mosque
are numerous endowment-three schools,
four academies for the four sects of the
faithful, and another the reading of the
Koran, a school for medicine, a hospital
kitchen for the poor, a resting place for
travellers, library, a fountain, a house Of
refuge for strangers and a mausoleum. Sew
eral of the imperial mosques are as richly
endowed. Mohammedan charity begins at
the mosque, and all good Musselmans are
very much at home in their houses Of
prayer. The fourteen great mosques are
built upon the self same plan. The mos
ques measure 225 by 205 feet, and are en-
closed on the entrance side by forecourt
and in the rear by a garden or cemetery.
Besides these imperial mosques are about
two hundred and twenty others, built by in
dividuals of inferior rank, and three hun
dred or more chapels, some of which are
chiefly frequented by women. Constantine
the Great surrounded his city with wall
thirteen miles in length, having twenty
eight gates and many lofty tower. These
walls still stand, tottering, and are wonder
fully picturesque. In parts of the old
Notifications you can see the breeches made
by catapults and battering rams. Of all the
gates, there are no two alike, and each has
something of its own that is either beauti-
ful or interesting. One of the pleasantest
excursions about the City of the Sultan isl
the exploration of the walls and towers
There are cemeteries by the way, and
mosques and thousand cafes to beguile
you You may float under the walls in a
caique, for their very foundations are laid
in the sea on one side of the city. You may
ride, or drive, or walk. You may have a
distant view of the Mosque of Eyoob, where
the Osmanli sultans gird on the Sword of
Osman. Eyoob was the standard bearer
and the companion in arms of the Prophet,
and was killed at the siege of Constantine
pie by the Arabs, A. D. 668. Mohammed
H. having had the tomb of Eyoob
revealed to him in vision, the mosque and
mausoleum were erected on the spot. They
are far too holy for Christian to enter, I
even in his stocking feet, which is rather
pity, inasmuch as this mosque is one of the |
most elegant and beautiful of any near the /
capitol. At the Greek Church, buried, on
one side of the cypress groves, there are
some miraculous fish, red on one side and
brown on the other. These fish were in
the frying pan, perfectly resigned to their
fate, when Constantinople was taken; that l
was little too much, and they leaped out
of the frying pan Drowned on one side only.
If you don't believe it inquire at the Greek f
Church and see these precocious wrigglers
swimming about in the fountain as gayly as 4
if they were not we'll done on one side
and raw on the other. - Philadelphia /

A TRIBurE FROM uW. G y

!.
Although the death of Mr.. Moody has been
appropriately noticed 1 feel it duty to bear
personal testimony to his many virtues and
general companionship.
He was a grandson of Epoch Moody, who
came to Falmouth from Newbury in 1888, and
son Of Lemuel Moody, an eminent ship
master, but is best known by his Chart Of
Casco Bay, which he published in 1925. He
was also the prime mover and principal owner
OF the Observatory, which was erected in 1907,
and Of which be was the keeper during the
remainder of his life. He died in 1876, aged
70. In the house connected with the Obserya-
tory then the only one on the Hill, Franklin
G. Moody was born in 1914. He served his
time tat the dry goods business and in due
time commenced as senior of the firm of Moody
q Dix, Thomas I. Dix being his partner. In
1912 he was in the same business with
Frederick Swift, and afterwards he was in the
firm of Dole & Moody. in the wholesale
grocery business He was also weigher and
gauger in the custom house and several times
represented his wardiin the City Council.
Mr.. Moody rendered the most valuable
SERVICES to his native city as fireman. He
was one of the original petitioners for the
Casco hand engine in January, 1885, and was
elected clerk of the new company, Jeddediah
Jewett being chosen first director. His was the
commencement of an exciting rivalry in the
then volunteer department which made it very
efficient. Mr.. Moody became first director of
the Casco company, and finally was chosen
chief engineer of the department tor which
station he had qualified himself by long and
active service, and was very popular with the
men. He was repeatedly reelected.
Mr.. Moody's fathers family were worshpers
at the old st. Paul's church, and the son was
warden of the new St. Pauls, and took an
active part in the erection of the new church.
The fatal malady with which he was attacked
has for several years untitled him for any
exertiop, and now he has passed away, leaving
to his sons good example A kinder heart
meier beat in human bosom VIC.

| The committee on streets have been watch
| ing the developments at the Fore street wall,
but were unable to agree as to what was the
cause OF the break, or as to what needs to be
done to repair it. Accordingly the Mayor ap-
pointed a committee of experts to visit the
wall and report upon its present condition, and
as to what is best to be done towards repairing.
The committee selected are Prof. Vose of Bow
don College, f. Fl. Fassett, John Anderson
| and c. o. Davis. They were appointed sew
eral weeks since. but they were not called to
visit the wall until Saturday afternoon. They
were accompaniedb by the Mayor, the commit
tee on streets and several other members of the
city government. Alexander Longfellow, esq,
who is an experienced engineer, was also pres
ent by Invitation of the committee
crew Of men have been at work upon the
wall ever since the defect was discovered and
they have removed a portion of the wall where
it was bulged out and are now digging to as
certain what it was built upon. They have
gone down about four feet and found a blue
clay. Where the cut is made tie wall is about
thirty feet high and the base is but nine feet
wide. In several places the stones were found
to be broken. What broke them is a disputed
question. A very large amount of dirt has
been removed from the back of the wall and
much more will have to be taken out if the
wall is rebuilt. A steam engine is used to
hoist the dirt from the pit 1t is then carted
down the street and piled up. The pile now
reaches from the Portland Company to the
Grand Trunk freight depot, and is likely to
reach India street ere long.
The committee made long and careful ex-
animation of the wall and its foundation, but
did not give any opinion as to what their re-
port would be.

fully that everything is all right. He had no
difficulty in obtaining bundsmen.

THE CADETs.-Capt. Winslow and Lieut..
Warwick of the Portland Cadets VISITED Au-

to ask that this company should be mustered

not feel that he was authorized to issue an
ozder for their admittance and if he did there
were number of other panies in the state
which would claim tho same privilege. The
Cadets will ask the Legislature to admit them
next winter, and the request will no doubt be
compliedswith.
