A Gnod Le..on For the Navy.

It has been said that Commodore
Dewey sought to obtain the command
of the Asiatic station because he foresaw
the opportunity that was to come to
him. In one sense this is true. Dewey
has always been a man of action, a nat
ural fighter That he went gladly to
the East Indies command. when at least
two other flag officers could have had
it if they had wanted it, and that he
preferred taking service afoat TO any
kind Of comfortable duty on shore, is
true. But it was the seaman's instinct
that led him rather than any prophetic
power. There were several questions Of
grave Importance likely to come before
the country, and Commodore Dewey
knew that the man in command at sea
is the man who is in a position TO make
opportunities for himself, while the men
who cling to easy billets ashore must
when warclouds thresten-stend around
and wait for chances to come TO them.
1t was no mere chance that put
George Dewey in command in the east.
1t was the logical working out Of the
principles of lifetime. The men who
had always had sufficient influence to
keep them in time of peace in easy
places in New York and Washington.
while others did the hard work Of the
service at sea, discovered that all their
influence could not give them the places
of danger and of honor in time Of war.
1t was a good lesson for the navy, and
it should be remembered by every
young officer. er.-Joseph L. Stickney In

A Wnmnn,a Voice.

Crusty old bachelors and henpecked
husbands have often expatiated on the
carrying power Of woman's voice but
the average man. with the memory OF
soft, sweet words lingering IN his mind.
has not hesitated to denounce such
statements as pure fiction. Scientific in
yestigation proves, however, that the
woman haters were right. An English
aeronaut has just registered on very
delicate instrument the human voice
heard al different attitudes. he has no.
ticed that the voice Of woman is audi
Bile in balloon at the height OF exactly
two miles, while that Of a man has
never reached higher than mile. There
is no reverberation in the sounds which
are carried to those attitudes. but the
sounds once heard are gone forever. AT
this point, however, the aeronaut and
woman hater part company, for the
latter is haunted by the reyerberations
Whatever else the experiment has
proved. it has certainly confirmed the
fact Of the penetration Of woman.

Danger Of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is Of its resulting in pneumonia. If reas-
enable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among the
tens OF thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have yet to
learn Of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia which shows conclusIvely
that this remedy is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease. 1t will cure
la grippe in less time than any other
treatment. II is pleasant and safe to

associations have united in bearing
the expense of connecting their re-
spective possessions with the city
waterworks. Connection with the
main will be at :. G. Ross. A two
inch pipe will be laid eighteen inches
deep, and about $500 feet of piping
will be required. Entrance to ceme-
terry will be effected near middle

where drinking fountains are TO be
established at the main hall and AMI

been without IA quorum for several
meetings and as result has been
unable to transact business. The
continued absence of "A majority of
the members is not easily accounted
for upon any known fact. One thing
however is certain, and that is no
man should accept a nomination or
election to an Office unless he honest
ly intends to perform the duties in
cumbent upon him as such officer.
The city is without marshal or
street commissioner and there are
other matters which require atten-
tion; yet certain number of alder
men remain away from each meeting
and business is thus hindered and
delayed. How long is this condition

ing bug; but this particular one must
have found our young ladies in n

engagement upon its arrival here the
other evening, as it recklessly darted
into DR.. McDonald's Office through
an open window and steered itself
direct for David Quirk, who was in
the room. Fortunately Dave was on
his guard and brought the bug to a
halt with a newspaper which he was
pursuing. Before being able to re-
cover it's equilibrium it was safely
scooped into a small vial containing
alcohol and is now on exhibition.
SO far as can be discovered it cores
