TReported for THE FARMER.
WINSTON SALEM, N. c., June 1.
Salem Academy commencement has
come to be no longer a local or even a
State event, but one which attracts the
attention of the whole South. This
week has been a lively one in Winston
Salem. Large numbers of visiting pat
rons and friends are seen on the streets,
and never have greater audiences been
gathered in the century-old Moravian
church, which is fairly brilliant with
its electric lights, and brightly dressed
school girls who fill the immense tenn
porary platform which occupies the
front half of the church. Raleigh is
represented In the senior class by Miss
Daisy Thompson whose essay on
Woman In Fiction-Woman in Real
Life" was very heartily received.
Amongst the visitors, we note Judge
Whitaker and daughter, Mr.. Tbomp
son nd daughter.
The commencement exercises open
ing on Friday last. have on successive
evenings presented the work Of the
various departments of music, art,
eIocution, classical, scientific, business
and commercial work.
Thirty seven young ladies, represent
ing North Carolina, Tennessee, Geor
gia, Texas, Alabama, Virginia and
South Carolina, were graduated in the
regular academic course
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in he alumrae scholarship fund
which has nearly touched the s.. 500
mark.
a unique feature Of Wednesday, ex
ercsses was the formal presentation to
the Trustees Of Clarity steps,
erected in the campus by Col Garrity,
Of Texas, IN memory Of his wife. These
steps are Of Mount Airy granite and
present a very handsome appearance.
For general finish and excellence the
music rendered a5 the grand concert
On Wednesday night has never been
surpassed. 4 chorus of over a hundred
voices rendered Scbubert's Song of
Miriam"

THE FIRE TOWER
1t Was Tried Last Evening with Good
Results,

Last evening an interesting trial was
made of a water tower which Chief jackson
thinks of using for fires in high buildings.
About o'clock Hose 5, closely followed by
Engine 8. tore down Exchange street to
Commercial, where the extension ladder was
soon on the spot. The tower was made by
elevating the ladder and sending up three
inch hose with curved nozzle, which was
fastened at the ladder top with swivel.
Onto this large ladder hose two smaller
hose from the engine were siamesed. Three
tiremen. at different places on the ladder.
handled and directed the hose. With 1870
pounds water pressure and 120 pounds steam
pressure, the tower threw stream two
hundred feet out of one and fve-eighths
inch nozzle. The trial was pretty exhibit
ton, and was considered very satisfactory
by the fremen. For the first time the men
on the ladder used a safety belt, which
hooks on to the rungs of the ladder. allow
ing the wearer free use of his hands.

Scientific Kite Flying.

Mr.. G. II. Lamson has, at his summer
home on Diamond Island been, expert
menting for some time with the Malay
with a view to determining points in re-
gard to their management He has had
success in securing dirigibility by the
use of several cords, and concludes that
by one central cord, and others to act as
reins, andsconnected with positive work
ing reels, that he will be able to direct
their fight. The Malay, which is the
type selected by the government as the
most promising for meteorological OBJ
servations in the upper air, differs quite
radically from the kite with which we
are familiar 1t has no tail and it's sta
bility is largely dependent upon that
popularity of it's construction which
gives somewhat of a concave under sur
face, on each side Of the back bone, caus-
ing it to float like the parachute. Mr..
Lamson, who was the first to introduce
here the Malay kite, which is no toy,
but scientific instruments of great
possibilities of future development, has
nad correspondence WIN tue 0erIndn
scientist, Herr Otto Lilienthal, who is
making study of such aeroplanes, with
a view to aerial navigation. Mr.. hanson
intends soon to introduce another novel
ty, the cellular kite. which might be
described as kite or aeroplane of sever
al stories, invented by Mr.. Hargrave. 1t
secures great stability by it's form. 1t
has at right angles of the back bone box
like constructions, with slides and rear,
through which the wind passes, open.
These make the lifting surface of the
machine He has varied their form in
several kites, by such as cylindrical
boxes with cross partitions. Mr.. Lamson
will soon receive from Herr Lilienthal
the working plans for his patented in
ton, which Mr.. Lamson will be al
lowed to use in his experiments.

wished to put them in the ready binders.
The manufacturer of these binders now
offers to insert the portfolios in them free of
charge for those who do not care to do it
themselves These binders are strongly
made. and are handsome affairs, SO that
those who do not desire to pay for a
regular binding can use them and get good
results at lower price.

some of his wardens in that vicinity, and
to make some investigation in regard to
the lobster question which is now OF so
much interest to the fishermen.
Commissioner Written thinks there is
but little doubt that there will be rec
commended to the next legislature the
passing of universal 10 1 2 inch lobster
law for all the year round. The fisher
men are beginning to see that it will be
greatly to their benefit to have such a
law, and are coming out strongly in
favor of it.
Very many fishermen along the coast
and especially about Deer Isle. where SO
many Holsters are caught, are circulat-
ing an agreement among themselves that
they will not keep lobster that is un-
der 10 10 inches in length.
at is very pleasing" said Commission
er Written to Commercial man, to
notice how little the fishermen now try
to evade the laws They realize that
they are framed for their Der eft and
want to abide by them"
Commission Written will endeavor to
have lobster hatchery established in
this State. They are in successful opera
ton In other States. and much more of
the spawn is Matched than would be
otherwise, as the lobster has SO many
enemies. They would without doubt
serve to increase the supply of the delic-
ious fish.
