NAVAL PERSONNEL ACT.
Judge Advocate Lemly Interprets Some
of It's Provisions.

Washington, June 17.-Judge Advo-
cate Lemly has rendered an opinion,
constructing the meaning of a naval
personnel act relative to voluntary re-
tirements. Section eight authorizes the
president to retire officers of each grade
providing a certain specified number
of vacancies do not occur annually in
these grades through natural causes.
The judge advocate general holds that
the act requires that a sufficient num-
ber of officers and no more are to be
placed on the retired list to cause the
prescribed number of vacancies, and
applying this rule to the existing naval
lists, he finds that there will be no
captains retired because there are al
ready IA vacancies above the grade of
commander, while only IS are contem-
plated by law that two commanders
will be retired, there being IS vacancies
now, two less than required; that seven
lieutenant commanders will be retired,
there being % vacancies and the pre-
scribing 30 and no lieutenants retired,
the total number of vacancies, 40 in the
higher grades, meeting all the require
mentS of the law

THE WAY OF THE SHIP.
Every BOnt That Sails Has Something
of n personality" Says
This Writer.

Solomon had, among the many
mighty qualities of mind which have
secured his high eminence as the wisest
man of the world, an attribute which
does not always accompany abundant
knowledge. He was prompt to admit
his limitations, as far as he knew them,
frankly and fully. And among them
he confessed an inability to understand
''the way of ship in the midst of
sea-" 1t may be urged that there was
little to wonder at in this, since the eX-
igencies OF his position must have per-
Guided his gaining more than the slight
est actual experience of seafaring. Yet
it is marvellous that he should have
mentioned this thing, seemingly simple
to a shore-dweller, which is to all mar
iners a mystery past finding out. No
matter how long sailor may have
sailed the seas in one ship, or how deep
ly he may have studied the ways of
that ship under apparently all combina-
tons of wind and sco he will never be
found to assert thoughtfully that he
knows her altogether. Much more,
then, are the myriad idiosyncrasies of
all ships unknowable. Kipling has done
more, perhaps, than any other living
writer TO point out how certain fabrics
of mans construction become invested
with individuality of an unmistakable
kind, and of course so acute an observer
could not fail to notice how preemi-
nently is this the case with ships.
Nov, fol1ouc 7 caaly host
I may, to show, by a niggardly handful
of instances in my own experience, how
the personality" of ships expresses it
self, and how incomprehensible these
manifestations are to the men whose
business it is to study them. Even be-
fore the ship has quilted the place of
her birth, yet, while she is yet a-build-
ing, something of this may be noted
One man will study deepest mathemat-
ical problems, will perfectly apply his
formulate, and see them accurately emf
bodied in steel or timber, SO that by
all ordinary laws of cause and effect the
resultant vessel should be marvel of
speed, stability and strength. And yet
she is a failure. She has all the vices
that the sailor knows and breads;
cranky, slow, leewardly, hanging in
stays, impossible to steer satisfactor-
lily. Every man who ever sails in her
carries in his tenacious sea-memory, to
the day of his death, vengeful recollec-
tons Of her perversities, and often in
the dog-watch holds forth to his ship
mates in eloquent denunciation of her
manifold iniquities long after one would
have thought her very name would be
forgotten. Another shipbuilder, inno-
cent of scintilla of mathematics, i'm
patient of diagrams, will begin APP
parently without preparation, adding
timber to timber, and breasthook to
stem, until out of the dumb cavern of
his mind ship is evolved, his mex
pressible idea manifested in graceful,
yet massive shape. And that ship will
be all that the other is not. AS if the
spirit of her builder had somehow been
wrought into her frame, she behaves
with intelligence, and becomes the de-
light, the pride. of those fortunate
enough to sail in her.-Frank T. Bullen,
