central part of the race boat, has seat run
ming IN grooves and a movable foot board
The oar which can be moved IN every direc-
ton, acts upon a piston encased in a brass
tube; movable slit n the tube admits of
regulating the air-the larger the opening the
more air presses upon the piston and the
lighter Is the work. The recOil of the oar is
facilitated by spiral spring. In order to
measure the amount OF force spent it is only
necessary to screw a mauOmeter on ar open
ing in the tube and note the difference of
pressure-the strength of the spiral spring
beng known, all the clements of computation
are there. The emperor is very Outspoken as
to the beneficial effect Of this bodily exercise

Local Forecasts.

/ And so it has been decreed at Washing
ton that we are 10 have no more local
. forecasts at night Of the weather at Sa-
vannah for the remainder Of this sea
son. Is not that decree rather unjust 70
Savannah What is the weather bureau
for if not TO furnish the information the
people need.
These local forecasts are Of immense
benefit They have been very reliable this
year and the people have come TO place
great dependence upon them. They are
needed now by by the truck and rice
farmers, and nearly everybody else has
become accustomed 10 look for the local
forecast every morning.
We are to have in place Of these local
forecasts predictions sent out from Wash
ington every night. They will be for the
whole state, and they will not be of much
benefit in this locality. There will be
local forecasts in the morning but they
will not be published until late IN the
afternoon, and it viii be night before
many Of those specially interested in
them will see them. The weather bureau
wisdom at Washington probably can ex-
plain in what way they will be helpful
II is quite certain that nobody in this
locality can see how they will be valuable
For two or three years-in fact, ever
since they were started-we have had the
night local forecasts throughout the year.
To have them stopped suddenly will be
quite loss. And to have them stopped
without any good reason is aggravating.
Has Savannah offended the chief of the
weather bureau? She has certainly
shown high appreciation of the weather
service. The people here would like to
know the reason they are TO be exposed
to weather changes without proper warn
ing. 1t cannot be for lack of money. The
local forecasts cost nothing. 1t must be
because theWashington bureau man wants
TO do more of the prophecying. Great
as the confidence is which we have in his
predictions, they are not exactly what
we want. We want the night local fore
casts, and must have them if there is any
way to get them.

II is hardly probabl that United States
/ District Judge Jenkins viii be impeached
/ in view of the decision of the United
! States court of appeals at Chicago Non
| day, in which Judge Jenkins famous dc
/ cision is reviewed and partly sustained.
The decision for which il was proposed
10 lmpeach Judge Jenkins, was rendered
in the case of p. VI. Arthur and others
against the Northern Pacific railroad
He virtually enioined employees of the
road from resgning their positions
either as individuals, or when acting in
combination, when their purpose was 70
iniure the railroad At the time the de
clsion was rendered the Northern Pacific
was in the hands of a receiver, as it is
now, and was being operated through the
United States courts. For the decision
Judge Jenkins was severely criticised,
and charges against him were made 10
congress and referred TO a committee of
the House.
The court OF appeals held that the court
has no power 10 compel an employee of
railroad or any other employe to work if
he doesn't want TO. The exercise Of such

Ual liberty, but a court has the power to
enioin employees from combining TO quit
the service of a railroad when such action
is taken to injure the railroad or cripple
its service to the public
The effect of this decision Of the court
of appeals is far reaching, it's tendency
being 10 prevent strikes. An appeal will
be taken in all probability, to the su-
preme court, with the view Of having the
issue presented in the decision finally set
tied
While the decision applies only to en-
ployes of roads in the hands Of receivers,
there is no reason, apparently, why i:
should not apply to employees of railroads
and of other corporations not in the hands
of receivers. While the decision appears
TO be based upon justice, it is consider
ably in advance of any position taken by
the courts in labor troubles.

The Hawk Knew Him.

81 don't know that the ancient sport of fall
conry has ever been IN vogue IN this country, -
said Capt. l.. +. Metcalf of Montreal to the
81. Louis Globe Democrat. 1t is rather odd
considering how fond manV Americans are of
copying everything that is done on the other
side OF the water.
When 1 was in England several years ago
OBTAINED possession OF peregrine hawk.
which brought with me on my return home
During the voyage across the Atlantic 1t was
my custom to allow the bird the use OF its
wings every day, taking care to give il a
hearty meal before hand that it might LOt be
tempted to dart off after some passing sea
gull and lose sight of the ship. In spite OF the
precautlon, the bird was missing one day
Night came on and still the hawk did not ap
pear, and made up my mind that I would
never see my pet again. Soon after my ar
rival home, n glauC ng over Haliiax paper,
noticed paragraph Stating that the captain
of fishing 3hoOnerwho resided at that point
had brought fine hawk into port, which he
sald mad suddenly come aboard his vessel
during his late voyage. 1 at once jumped to
the conclusion that 1t must he my falcon. and
lost no time In setting out for Halifax to in
vestlgate. On finding the captain who had
the bird, learned that he had no intention of
giving up his prize, saying that il was easy
for any one to claim property, but it was
another thing to prove the ownership OF it.
MY obleC: was TO recover the hawk rather
than pick quarrel with the pugnacious
sailor, so J curbed my anger and proposed to
settle the q leStiOn by eXper Lment. To this
the captaiL at last consented. The test was
this: | was to @ admitted to an interview
with the bird in the presence Of witnesses.
Since in the possession OF the captain the
hawk had stood on its dignity and repealed
any attempts at familiarity; II now it should
show any signs of recognition toward me and
attachment, especially II it should play with
the buttons on my coat, the captain was to
give up his claim
The bird was accordingly brought in. In
an instant She dashed at my shoulder. show.
ing every sign OF recognition and delight.
She rubbed her head against my cheek, and
plaYfully champed the buttons on my coat
with r beak. The witnesses rendered o
verdict in my favor and. to do him Justice
the captain willingly gave up his claim and
bore my pet home in triumph"
