NAVAL ACADEMY CHANGES.
Recommendations by the Board of
Visitors.

Several important recommendations are
made by the board Of visitors to the Naval
Academy in it's report just received by the
Secretary CT the Navy. In order to in
crease the efficiency of the institution, the
board suggests a number of changes in
the regulations. 1t is recommended that
all candidates for entrance to the Naval
Academy be appointed September 1 of each
year: that they be examined the following
April by a board at the naval station near
est their home, and that the successful
candidates report at the academy in May
for practical work during the summer
months preparatory to the regular course.
which begins October l. 1t Is recommended
that the age of entrance to the academy be
from fifteen TO eighteen years, so that the
young officer shall not be over twenty-five
years old at the end of his course.
Other recommendations are follows:
THAT if the four years course alike fog
all demands the elimination of certain
studies they should be dropped: that the
classes at the academy be known by their
date OF entrance, and that the term cadet
be discontinued and the traditional and
time-hcnored title of midshipman' be
adopted therefor: that officers and cadets
be required TO salute the national co,o-s
by removing their hats, and the custom OF
salutirg the national colors with the hand,
as now practiced, be discontinued; that the
Secretary of the Navy appoint a commits
sion to look into the needs of the plant
in the department of steam engineering at
the Naval Academy and recommend 10
Congress such appropriation as may be
necessary to put such plant in efficient con-
dition for the use of the academy.
Probably the most important recon-
mendation of the board is that the four
year curriculum be alike for all, so that
every graduate shall enter the service un-
der like conditions and be assigned to al
ternaIing duties on deck, in the engine
room or in charge of the purchasing and
commiSSary departments OF the vessel"
The graduate thus becomes, at the end of
his four years course, Il naval officer. en-
tiers TIE ward room ensign, is trained
to habits of command and associates under
like circumstances with his brother officer
of higher rank.
BY unanimous resolution the board "calls
attention to the obvious fact that the IT.
regular methods of constructing buildings
upon the academy grounds have been
wasteful and unsatisfactory, and recon-
mends that in future whatever construc-
ton obtains here shall be in conformity
with general Plan previously adopted.
The board heartily coTnmends the cree
ton of a monument to the memory Of
George Bancroft, ex-Seeretary of the Navy
and founder CT the Naval Academy, as pro-
posed by the Alumni Association.

Flying Kites with BICYCLES.

From The Kansas City Star.
Some boys living in South Holmes street
were attempting TO fly a kite on q sultry
evening last week: there was little air stir
ring. and it was so warm that 1t was a
great exertion to run fast enough with
the string to make the kite go up Finally
bright boy hit upon novel scheme
Holmes street slopes toward the south,
and what little breeze there was blew from
the south. The bright boy brought out his
bicycle. mounted IL and took the string.
while another lad held the kite At the
signal the bright boy dashed down the
slope on his wheel in the face of the breeze
and the kite mounted into the air in a beau
tiful way
And that's the popular way of flying kites
In Holmes street now.

From the Wall Strecf Daily News.
For the first time In seven years there
is not sufficient available labor in the Rir-
mingham district to meet the demands Of
the coal mines and iron furnaces. This
condition prevails despite the fact that
there Is not strike or labor trouble Of
any kind In the state Of Alabama. 1t re-
suits from the unprecedented demand for
Alabama coal and iron. In addition to the
re gular domestic trade big shipments are
being made to points north of the Ohio
river where the strike prevails. and to
southern points for shipping. Increased
demands for Alabama Iron In Europe are
pressing the furnaces to I'LL orders, Coal

Why Ice Water is Injurious.

The reason why SO many physi-
clans object to the drinking of water
during mealtime is that Americans,
as rule, drink icewater. The tenn
perature of the stomach is from $50
to 1909 Fahrenheit. After a meal it
should be from $50 to 1929, and if
person is exercising it sometimes
will run up to 1892. Now this tenn
perature is necessary to carry on di-
gestion in a perfectly healthful way.
Constant drinking Of ice water during
the meal or an ice at the close of the
meal will reduce the temperature of
the stomach sometimes to 95o, which
would stop digestion and !sooner or
later render one confirmed dyspep
tic. Water of an ordinary tempera-
ture is not so objectionable-in fact,
it would be better to take swallow
of water now and then during the
meal provided the water is cool, not
iced. Foods that are slightly diluted
are more easily digesttd than those
which are concentrated and dry

SUICIDE.
Thomas FurgusOn Commits Sui
eide by Hanging.

Last Thursday evening the startl-
ing information was brought to town
that Thomas Furguson, we'll to do
and respectable farmer living six
miles east, in Lorain, had committed
suicide by hanging. This intelli-
gence was brought in by Ed. johnson
who lives past the Furguson place.
He was on his way home and while
passing was requested to return to
town and notify the coroner of what
had happened. Coroner Plotts ac-
companied by DR.. Curran at once re-
paired to the scene where they found
the body hanging but life had ceased.
From the indications it appeared
that Mr.. Furguson went into the barn,
a story and half building, up into
the haymow and fastened a rope to
the rafter directly oyer hole in the
floor used for putting hay
through to the ground floor. The
rope was 50 adjusted that the moose
was about two feet above the upper
floor. Adjusting the moose he drop
ped through the floor, death being
caused ,Dye~ ~strangulatlOu. Inc act
was discovered by his brother, Wm.
Furguson, in about twenty minutes
afterwards, it is estimated.
What lead the man to commit the
act is a question and will probably
forever remain an unsolved mys-
terry. His domestic relations were
happy in every way and he was a
temperate man. Financially, he is
said to have been in unusual good
circumstances; owning nearly a sec.
tion of land with good comfortable
buildings of all kinds and well
stocked. Hs was unquestiouably
temporarily deranged as he had act
ed in peculiar manner in different
ways for short time, but no particu
lar attention was given the matter.
He leaves wife and several child
rem to mourn his self destruction
Funeral was held Sunday, the re
mains being inferred in the Catholi.
cemetery at Brewster and were
followed to their last resting place by
a large number of friends who deep
ly sympathize with the bereavec
family.
