7HE CRUISE OF The MICHIGAN.


Display Our Fla. in Samoa.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The navy de-
parlment is about to arrange the itin-
erary of the coming cruise of the Mo-
mean with her crew Of apprentices
through the islands of Oceunica, and
particularly to Samoa. The vessel is
expected to start about the last of
February and to occupy eight months
on the cruise. An effort is making to
increase the number Of the apprentices
on the vessel from TO to 15J, which
will give her full complement Prob
ably the first stop will be made at
Honolulu and the next at Tanning
island, half way to Samoa.
The vessel will not stay long in Sa.
moan waters, but it is expected, will
return to Mare Island by way of the
Society Islands. There is said to be
no diplomatic significance in the voy-
age, beyond desire on the part of the
state department to avail itself of This
opportunity to show the American flag
on war ship in Samoa, in partial
payment of the obligation imposed
upon the United States by treaty.

Re Natural.

Following is q bit of social philosophy
from n Maine village: "One reason why
so many girls and boys, men and wOm-
en-. too. nre uninteresting-cOmm
because nearly everybody tries SO hard
to be like somebody else rather than to
be content to remain himself or herself
In life. In nature you don't see an oak
tree posing as a willow, ur n black duck
as a yellow leg. or a horse as a cow, or
a lily as n rose. or lilac as peOny, or
a dog as cat. Be natural and you'll be
all right. Many n girl, without the
slightest talent for music, Is running q
piano who should be making bonnets
or bread; many a boy is studying for
learned profession whose proper sphere
Is in the machine shop or the mill; many
q man is splitting up churches who
ought to be doing good service In some
institution of learning, teaching, or on
some farm farming. and many a wom-

Jail and prison officials In Southern
Arizona have their hands full In trying
to prevent the smuggling into their in
stitUtions Of the seductive mariguana.
This Is kind Of loco" weed, more
powerful than opium. 1t grows from
seed by cultivation In Southern Ari-
zona and ip Mexico. The Mexicans
mix 1t with tobacco and smoke 1t in
cigarettes. inhaling the smoke. Used
in this way it produces a hilarious
spirit in the smoker that cannot be
equalled by any other form Of dissipa-
ton. When smuggled inside the prison
walls its devotees readily pay four dol
lars an ounce for 1t, but free men buy
1t on the outside for fifty cents an
ounce.

eracy instead of central union of the
three States.
Second-The name of the confederation
Is to be "The United States of Central
America"
Third-Thcre is to be Federal district,
composed of the civil departments Of Chin
andega, in Nicaragua; Cho!uteca, in Hon
duras, and La Union in Salvador, all bor-
dering on the Gulf of Fonseca.
Fourth-The organizing capital is to be
Amapala, on Tiger Island, in the Depart
ment of Cholutcca, Honduras. The perna-
nent capital is to be determined by the first
Congress, and will be located ut either
