KnOW-NOthIng Spirit
A Competent German Ruled
Out of the Navy.
Because He Spoke Good English With

WASHINGTON, May 81. - Several
days ago there appeared before the
naval board of examiners of the war
department a young German-Ameri.
can Of Detroit, named Alphons Balcke,
WHO has for eight years past been
naturalized American citizen. He
was recommended by Senator McMil-
Ian and Representative Corliss for Q
lieutenancy in the Michigan Nayal
Reserve. The result of the ex..
animation proved excellent as
to his physical condition and
ability to serve the country Of his
adoption with credit and honor. Mr..
Balcke had served as lieutenant on a
German torpedo boat and only asked
for proper recognition OF his rank
and ability as demonstrated by good
service, as the board Of examiners
were prone to admit, but those
measurers of red tape would under
no circumstances take Mr.. Balcke,
for the simple reason Of his German
accent. The report admitted that
the applicant could speak correct
English, but owing to his native ac-
cent he was ruled out, and the place
filled by an incompe tent son of poll.

Novel Exhibition.

The attention and admiration of all
who have walked on Commercial
street for the past two evenings has
been directed to a novel and pretty
little exhibition In the show window
of Chas, ii. Hinges. 1t is a picture OF
the battleship Maine, which was de.
stroyed in Havana harbor, February
Is, which appears TO be an ordinary
engraving; but when an electric light,
concealed behind it is turned on, the
picture reveals the Spanish torpedo,
that is supposed to have wrought the
destruction and the view is entirely
transformed, showing the terrific eX-
plosion as the vessel was blown up.
The mechanical part OF the exhibit Is
admirably arranged, aud is the handi-
work of Mr.. Hinges.
