HEAT CAUSED THE TROUBLE
Mrs. H. w. Ktmbali Who Jumped Ov-
erboard From the Horatio Hall was
Affected by IL.

Yesterday morning Harry W. Kimban
OF Norway came to Portland and went to
the Office of the Maine Steamship COM
pany to learn further particulars of the
death OF his wife who jumped of the Ho-
ratio Hall in Long island sound on Satur-
day night. Mr.. kimball Is North
Bridgton boy the son Of Horace c. KIM
ball. He has been for some time a clerk
in the grocery stors of Edwards & Son at
Norway.
Mr.. Kimban says that he was married
the Goth of last June, his wife having
been previously married to a man who
died of consumption at Denver. She
suffered with nervous prostration after
her marriage to him, and six weeks age
went to Newark, n. j., where she stale
with her sister, Mrs. j. j. Gibbs. Sh,
also had a mother and other sisters IL
different parts Of New Jersey. Thinking
that she was better, Mrs. Kimball startec
for home to join her husband at Norway
1t is thought that the heat in New Yori
must have affected her and that this wa.
the oause of her suicide. She was -
years old and had no children. Mr.
Kimban was accompanied by his father
Horace G. Kimban and by ex-Snerif
Webb of Bridgton. All the effects left b,
the deceased were delivered to them.

HOW TO VOTE.
Rules For Handling the Australian
Ballot.

To vote a straight ticket make a cross
(X) in the square above the political des-
ignation of the ticket you desire to vote.
If you want to vote the straight Repub.
dcan ticket make cross in the square
above the word Republican; if the Dem
ocrat1c make the cross in the square above
the word Democrat, and if the Prohib-
ition make a cross in the square above
the word Prohibition.
If you want to split a ticket proceed as
follows: First make a cross in the
square above the political designation of
the ticket the most of which you propose
to vote. Then follow down the list until
you come to the name of the candidate
you desire to cut. Draw lins through
that name. Then In the vacant space be-
low either write in the name of the per-
son you want to vote for, or stick on in
this vacant space a stioker bearing the
name of this person. DO NOT
PASTE THE STICKER OVER
THE NAME YOU INTEND TO CUT
because that will make the ballot defect
I've and it will be thrown out.
Study these rules and you will make no
mistakes.

THE TRIAL OF THE KFARsARGE.
Report of the Naval Board of Inspection
on the Turret Tests.


WASHINGTON. April THE Naval Board OF
Inspection. OF which Rear Admiral Frederick
Rogers Is President. has submitted a unnni.
nous report to the Department nithe recent
trial OF the battleship KearsarRe of the Viz
ginia Capes. The most interesting and. to
naval people the most important. feature OF the
trial was the test OF the superimposed turrets
OF the battleship. made primarily to determine
the stability OF the vessel and the structural
strength OF tho ~turrets. but which demon
strated also to some extent the practicability OF
this unique structure. Concerning the tur-
ret tests the board says:
During the afternoon Of April 2 the four
guns in the forward turret were fired stimuli
taneously at 1000 yards range and three OF
the projectiles apparently fell In the same
spot one fell about three hundred yards be-
yond. but in line. The four guns from the
after turret we're also fred simultaneously.
and In this case three proiectlles fell in the
spot: one S-inch projectile fell to the right.
During this test tho blast Of the s-inch
guns In superimposed turrots did not incon:
v%enience the people IN the l3-inch %turret;"
After these tests all OF the guns OF NE main
and secondary batteries were fired ateNtreme
elevation and at level. No injury waA done TO
the structure OF the shtp or the gun mounts by
these tests, except breaking q glass and a bolt.
The board notes that In firing the automatic
l-pOunderS IN the mlllthTy tOpS me Nlnrd-
tiop and lump to the mounts was so great as
to make any further firing Of those guns
dangerous.
The board itemizrs some unfinished work.
due to putting the vessel in commission before
she was quite completed and some miner work,
which will he made good nv the contractors;
Owing to the fact that the electric plant had
not been completely installed the ammunition
hoists were not subjected TO the extreme tesla.
II IL pointed out that the turrets are insuf1-
GENTLY lighted and corrective recommendations
are submitted. The board calls attention TO
the fact that the vessel was taken from the
contractors before she had been thoroughly
completed. and says that on this account the
benefits intended to be attained by the Govern
ment as a result 81 a final trial were not forth
coming. IL IS recommended that the first Of
ncial trial OF n vessel in future he not made
until that weasel has been practically completed
in ali particulars. In conclusion the board re-
ports that no weakness or defect in the hull.

manship or materials. &c, appears, except the
minor ones noted, and that the machinery was
In excellent condition and worked we'll. The
average speed on the trial with amixture OF
slack and soft coal was 1899 knots per hour.
