SHE IS IN THE WATER.
Our Beautiful Battleship Floats Down
From Her Cradle.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Shortly be-
fore noon today the battleship Oregon,
the first vessel of her class constructed
on the Pacific Coast, was launched from
the ways Nt the Union Iron Works.
in the presence of one of the greatest
crowds of people which ever assem-
hled there to witness q similar event.
Representatives of the army and navy,
civil officials of the general govern
ment and the states Of California and
Oregon, and a large number of invited
guestes were present. At the moment
the several thousand tons of steel com
Ihenced to glide down the ways, huns
dreds of salutes were fired, bands of
music played national airs, thousands
of spectators gave cheer after cheer,
and every steam whistle within ra-
dius. of q mile of the works Joined In
the chorus The launch was entirely
successful, and the new battleship now
lies in little lagoon in front of the
Union Iron Works, awaiting her COM
pletion, which will be pushed as rap
idlytas possible.
The Oregon is what is technically
known as sea-going coest line battle
snip, anu Is lue I1OSl powerful snip
in the United States navy. She will
have a maximum speed of sixteen and
two-tenths knots, and will carry crew
of four hundred and sixty men. Her
cost, exclusive of armament has been
four million dollars. The armament
consists of four 13-inch, eight S-inch,
and four 6-inch breech-loading rifles,
and also secondary battery of twenty
6-pounders and six 1-peunder rapid
fire guns, two gattlings, and also six
torpedo tubes. The 13-inch and S-inch
guns are mounted in turrets.
Quite a large party of Oregonians
were present. They included General
Compson, of Portland, the representa-
tive of Governor Pennoyer. AT a given
signal Miss Eugenia Shelby, represent
ing the city of Portland, touched the
electric button which started the YES
sci down the ways. Miss Daisy Aines-
worth, representing the state of Ore
gon.s christened the vessel. Miss Ruth
Dolph, daughter of Senator Dolph, of
oregon, who was to have assisted in
the christening ceremonies, represent
ing the United States navy, could not
attend by reason of sickness.

MARRIAGE IN BuRMAH.

A chapter In the Burmese census
report dealing with what is called the
civil condition of the people, gives
much interesting information regard
ing marriage in that country. From the
tables marriage appears to be much
less common than in India, but this is
said to be due to the fact that there Is
no child marriage among the Buddhists
and Nat-worshippers, who form the
bulk of the population. Moreover, in
Burmah, marriage is generally the re-
suit of mutual affection between the
parties after they have reached years
of discretion. On the other hand, mar
riege Is more common there than In
European countries. for the tie is more
easily formed and more easily dissolv-
cd, while the motives Of prudence have
not the same weight. Destitution Is
almost unknown, and the wants of life
In the temperate climate of Bumah
are more easily satisfied than. in the
oder countries OF northern Europe.
5 odng Burmese couple can start life
with a da and a cooking-pot The uni
(, .. sal bamboo supplies materials for
building a house, lighting the fire, car
rying the water from the well, and
may even help to compose the dinner
itself. The wife is usually prepared to
take share In supporting the house,
hold, and thus she has gradually ac-
qpired q position Of independence not
always enjoyed by married women
elsewhere 1t has been decided that,
under the ancient Buddhist custom
prevailing In Burmah, q husband cam
not ALLEVIATE property Jointly acquired
after marriage without the consent OF
his wife. Few marriages take place
where either party is under fifteen, and
Al. a ts lAaf Hltnan
twenty-five. Poygamy now practically
no longer exists, although in ancient
times the Burmese were polygamista
as well as shareholders. Most Burmese
have only one wife and few more than
two. The first, or head wife, is usually
the choice OF the husband In his youth,
and when she ceases to have children
she often assists In the choice of q
young wife, who Is bound to obey her:
The ease with which divorce Is obtained
Is said to be one OF the causes why pol
ygamy Is so rare. The terms OF dl-
vorce are based on ancient rules, one
of which Is that the party wishing the
separation can take his or her property
and no more; the other party takes all
the rest, including the children. Tne
safeguard against caprice in husbands
Is not merely public opinion, when
condemns too frequent divorces, Dut
the self-respect Of women, which pre-
vents them from marrying man who
has divorced his wives too freely. The
privilege Of perfect freedom in this re-
spect Is said to be rarely abused. Dl-
yorce Is very rare, fact attributaDie
equally, perhaps, to the high position
occupied by women in Burmese society,
the care with which marriage contracts
are entered into and the extreme even
ness Of temper which characLerizes
both sexes.-London Times.
