William Mckinley, of Ohio, is now
President of the United States. Standing
with bowed head before an immense gath
ering of people, he took the oath to faith
fully perform the duties of the Office. The
ceremony was performed by Chief Justice
Fuller. With an expression of humility
mingled with realization of the heavy
burdens he was about to assume, Mr.. Nc
kinley bent his head and repeated in a
clear voice the words:
81 do solemnly swear that / will faith
fully execute the office of President of
the United States and will to the best of
my ability, preserve, protect and defend
the constitution of the United States"
IEeTe was IL UedlLlihe as tBe
preparations for administering the oath
were begun. The people could see the
pantomime enacted, but only the favored
few in the immediate vicinity could hear
the words; then cannon shot was heard.
This marked the beginning of the term of
William Mckinley as President, and in
stantly a tremendous cheer went up. Hats,
canes, handkerchiefs and other articles
were waved as President Mckinley step
ped to the edge of the Capitol portico and
bowed his Acknowledgements to the peo-
pie. AS soon as the President noticed
lull in the applause he began to deliver the
inaugural address. At least 100000
strangers witnessed the ceremony, while
the capital city citizens, numbering 300.-
900 people, lined the streets and filled the
avenues. Capitol Plaza, where President
Mckinley stood, was filled with a seeth-
ing, surging mass of between $4,000 and
10000 people.

warmth of the sun as it mounted higher
in the blue sky reassured the persons who
feared for their comfort in the covered

The executive committee had been at
work all night and by morning there was
a double line Of cable two miles in length
stretched along both sides of the avenue
on the line of march. which promised the
most effective protection ever designed to

march Immediately after President Nc
Kinley had concluded the reading of his
inaugural address 1t was under the COM
mand of Gen. Horace Porter, as chief
marshal. and embraced, besides the regu-

The line of march of the parade was
longer than usual-full four miles in fact
made so to ease the pressure of spec
tators upon the line in the central section
of the city and to insure the maintenance
of the line unbroken.

any distance of the vessel, and all
the skipper will have to do is to see
that the ship rides as nearly as pos
sible within this charmed circle where
the water is calm and the waves power
less.
Mr. Guthrie is so confident that his
idea is not a visionary one, that he
will bring the matter before congress
and endeavor to secure an appropria-
ton to enable public test to be made
of his wave-stilling plan. His own
ideas regarding the oil-soaked sponge
scheme for fighting stormy seas he
gives as follows:
~ have been asked how I would dis
tribute the oil on the waves. Many
devices for thus distributing it could
be found. A pneumatic gun would
be the best, using perforated cans,
balls of oakum, cotton, sponge, or any
other loose material that could be
thrown any desired distance or direc-
ton. A small mortar could be used, al
though some have expressed the fear
that the explosion of the powder might
cause fire. But let US have an act of
congress making 1t compulsory for ves-
sells to carry oil for the purpose of use
in storms. and the ingenuity Of the
people will soon furnish the means for
it's proper use.
1T would urge the life saving service
to experiment with this and other de-
vices-kites, for instance. They have
time and opportunity, and the equip
ment, guns, lines, etc. First and fore
most, however, there should be passed
a law in enforcing the use of oil.

1.-THE reason for my faith in oil is,
my familiarity with its use around ma
chinery. From the smallest piece of
machinery to the most ponderous ma
chine, oil is indispensable. Where
among all the worlds products could
we find a substitute? If a few drops
of oil will prevent friction in our vast
machinery, why will it not as between
air and water. 1t Is friction that pro-

Special Correspondence Of the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Father Neptune
in his angry moods is not easy to pac1-
fy. as his wreck bestrewn ocean bed
bears witness. OF all the schemes in
vented by storm-tossed mariners and
stomach-tossed landsmen to calm the
proven able to keep back the pillows
from a vessels deck. Oil has been used
by various shippers and the effect of
it's tranquillizing influence on the waves
reported to have been wonderful, but
there has always been shortage of
oil, and a tremendous superfuity Of
wave force. The oil, although scatter
ed in the largest quantities possible,
was literally only drop in the ocean
at the best, and the waves were too
well developed before it reached them
to be affected much by the circum-
stance.
A realization of this set the active
brain Of W. Guthrie, of 1922 Indiana
avenue, to work on a solution Of the
problem from different direction. Mr..
Guthrie argued from the basis that oil
could be usedeto still the waves with
perfect success If it only reached them
at their birth and not when they had
attained full force and beginning with
this idea he has hit upon plan that
he feels confident will tie Father Nep-
tunes hands at the command Of any
skipper who follows 1t out.
Mr.. Guthrie's idea is to attack the
waves in very much the same way that
an enemy's ship is attacked, that is by
bombarding it from a cannon. The
ammunition is to be sponges loaded
with oil which are to be shot out upon
the raging sea so as to form circle
around the ship at the distance to
which the gun will carry. Mr.. Guth-
rie's theory is that the circle of oil will
prevent the waves from forming within
