It seems so strange and weird to read the words actually penned by those who are dead and gone, speaking of their daily human life, with its small interests and anxietjes, all so insig nificant now, and of their loves and
 
 hopes and everyday responsibilities, so like our own.

1'ilOtS Must Obey Patrol Boats.

The statement having been made by
Harry NJ. Long, pilot, before the Board
OF Port Wardens, that the disregard OF
the Governments regulations relating TO
the submarine mines is due to the 81 wv
ness OF the patrol boats. Lieutenant Col
onel {. W. Raymond has written to Mas
ter Warden Tucker as follows:
"Mr. Long states that the trouble in
passing through the mines seems to be
that the pilot boats do not keep or use
IA sufficient head of steam to properly
perform the services for which they have
been engaged, and that when steam
Ships engines are going dead slow these
boats should certainly have enough
p ,wer to lead it through the mines.
This is not the difficulty. The pilot
b 'ats have plenty Of power to lead the
vessels through the mines at greater rates
OF speed, but they have positive orders
to require vessels to 60 through the
m n IS at a slow rate OF speed so as not to
displace tine apparatus and injure the
mines. To insure this, it is not sufficient
that the engines should commence to run
dead slow upon arriving at the mines;
the vessels thems, Ives must be moving
at a rate not exceeding half speed, and
t lis requires them to slow down before
arriving at the mines, and at the time
VIII n ordered to do so by the patrol
boats. The real difficulty is that the
orders of the patro! boats have not al.
ways been obeyed.
1T gives me pleasure to say that dur.
ing the past month, except in one OF
two cases, the orders Of the patrol boats
have been ch' erfully and promptly
obcycd.'

Death Of Stanley Hanna,
(Communicated)

The death of Stanley W. Hanna,
youngest son of the Rev. J. ID. G., and
Jennie +. Hanna, has caused more gen.
une grief than the death of any child
for a long time. Hc would have been
thirteen years of age next September,
and the s:beautiful life, blighted in the
days Of childhood, went out of the
world as pure as it was in the days of
babyhood. In all the days of bis short
life he was never absent or late from
school, from the time he started till the
time of his death. This is very re-
markable record, and every one regrets
that the bright, ambitious, boy should
be taken from this world when his pros
poets seemed so fair. He was loved, not
only by his friends and playmates, but
by all who know him. The boys he used
to play with are not 20 joyful today.
and the games lose their attractiv iveness,
when they think Of their playmate lying
80 cold, and white and still in the slee .
that knows no waking.
