The OregOn's Test of Her

The preliminary trial trip OF the battle shiI
Oregon took place yesterday, the vessel leavinl
the Union Iron Works in command OF Captain
Minor Goodall at IL o'clock.
The test was merely to turn the Oregon's ma
chlnery over few times, to be sure OF theiI
adjustment. Several similar tests will be made
later.
Captain GoOdall. as well as the officers OF the
Union Iron Works, are well pleased with the
Oregon's performance. She was not pushed al
all, but simply steamed slowly up and down

Gently went TO SiSSon with Captain Bennett,
superintendent of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company's dock, and others, for a few DAYS OF
recreation. The party put up at hotel and

Captain Hannah is splendid navigator, and
thought he could pilot himself about In the
redwood forests of Shasta County Just as well
as he could steer his ship about on the broad
surface OF the ocean. But the skipper made
the first sad error or his life.
He started out at o'clock one morning Tor
ramble. Deeper and deeper he got into the
forest. Noon came and went; the shadows of
evening crept over the hills, but Ca plain Ham

When he wanted 10 go back to his hotel,
though, he found that he was lost. He sat
down on log and tried TO catch the sun
through small brown glass instrument

so the experiment was failure.
There are lots of pleasures In the painless
woods according 10 the poet, but Captain
Hannah couldn't see it that way. He tried sew

to SissoD, but was again and again disap-

Captain Bennett and friends grew anxions

Twenty-Five Thousand Children.

We may confidently expect that the re-
suit Of the carefully observation
OF children, which is now being syste-
matically made in this country and in
some portions Of Europe, Will be of in
calculable value To the whole human
race, writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott. in the
October Ladies' Home Journal Although
the thorough study of a single human
being IS scientifically interesting, 1t IS
only by applying certain tests to large
numbers Of children. taking into cOnsil-
Grafton their pcculiarities, and patiently
comparing the data. that any final deduc-
tons can be made. Under the auspices
or the United States Bureau OF Education,
DR.. Arthur Mcdonald. an enthusiastic
student Of man. has made in Washington
physical, moral, and mental test Of
1000 school-chldren. Ii was a difficult
and delicate undertaking. At first in some
OF his experiments he found that the older
boys and girls who had been examined
by the tales of horror they told. that the
little ones could not be persuaded to sub
nit 10 the very simple tests. Parents
took their children from the school lest
some grevious harm would be done them.
Later the Doctor began with the little
ones and worked upward, and the older
ones would not for shame refuse 10 do
what the infants" had done. The out
come OF these tests will be eagerly looked
for.
