STORM TOWER GOING UP.
WEATHER BUREAUS LOFTY POLE
NEARLY COMPLETE.

The lofty storm warning signal
tower OF the Weather Bureau. on the
roof OF the Citizens Bank building
reached height of fifty feet yester-
day afternoon. steel Flagstaff will
surmount the tower. being an addi-
tional twenty-five feet in height, and
as the building is 100 feet from the
ground. the tower when completed will
be 10 feet from the ground. The
workmen yesterday afternoon who were
engaged in fitting together the steel
frames at the dizzy height looked like
mere specks, and hundreds of people
down on the street intently watched
the operation.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture, OF which the Weather Ru
rcau is Il part, some time ago decided
TO erect these steels towers at every
important seaport weather station in
the country. Norfolk was in the list
and the contract was let to Mr.. Peter
Dixon, of this city, who is an expert
rigger.
The local Weather Bureau is of in
calcu!able benefit, not only TO scafaring
men, but farmers and merchants.
From the top of the tower weather
flags Will fly by day, and electric lam
terms by night. The signals. it is esti-
mated, can be seen for ten miles, and
when storm is approaching and it is
regarded as unsafe to proceed to sea,
mariners can take the warnings and
govern themselves accordingly When
ever high tides are expected. Observer
Gray and his corps of assistants
promptly notify merchants who have
goods stored on the water front. so
that they can remove them TO places
of safety, saving many thousands of
dollars. When heavy frost is eX-
pccted. the farmers in this section are
Immediately notitied and. already this
year, many valuable crops have been

we'll attended.
Rev. DR.. DuBose, General Secretary
of the Epworth Leagues Of the NJ. e.
huiNii, Noutli, bilu eQltOT VI the Ep-
worth Era, preached. He discourscd
very eloquently and forcefully on The
Doctrine of Sanctification. He took as
his text LIST Peter, 2, l, 2. He gave
clear and lucid definition OF the in
finite love of Christ and showed from
the scriptures the possibility of there
being complete union between the
soul and Christ. He advanced the doc
trine that when we are joined to the
Savior by the law of spiritual life we
are in harmony with Christ, and if the
soul is thus Joined to Him by the IL
Illuminating and sanctifying power of
the Holy Spirit, how can man sin. IF
the law of the life of Christ be in you,
you arc sanctified from all SIM" and
If our hearts are thus cleansed by the
blood of the everlasting covenant we
are in saved state. and Christ, who
ever liveth to intercede for us will
keep us by His power through faith
unto everlasting life. "Sanctfication
In another sense is finding Christ and
appropriating Christ, and If we have
entered into this co-partnership with
the Lord of Glory, how can we sin?
We cannot sin. Oh. the infinite mower
of His love! 1t brings us into full fell
lowship with Christ, and this constant
fellowship brings the soul into closer
and closer communion with Him. Holt
ness Is not purity, but the essence of
purity and as we grow in sanctifca-
tion we become moro and more like
Christ and our lives become conform
ed to His"
The Doctor closed his discourse with
an eloquent description of the ulti-
mate glory of n life sanctified wholly to
Christ and His service.

THE GIFTED SPEAKER DELIVERS
HIS FAMOUS LECTURE THE
BATTLE OF. LIFE, AND. HOW
TO WIN IT. TO A LARGE
AUDIENCE
AUDIENCE


AUDIENCE.
There is only one Sam Jones. That
this one is appreciated in Norfolk was
evidenced by the large audience which
turned out last night to hear his lee
ture The Battle of Life, and How to
Win It," The Academy of Music was
crowded from pit to dome, and those
who expected rare treat were not
disappointed.
Mr.. Jones possesses. as no other man
does. the power to blend wholesome
amusement-choice bits of original
wttlcisms and humor-with good horse
sense and sound logic. and the skill to
apply this lotion to the minds of
HIS hearers in a manner which
does not fail to clean the cob
webs from the brain and furnish
them an interesting and instruc-
i've view OF the sociological problems
which surround them. He clothes his
arguments and illustrations in Ian
suase peculiarly his own. which, While
not always elegant, is forceful. clinch
ing ana always pertinent. leaving not
the shadow of doubt as to his mean
ing.
MI Jones lecture embraced the
most important battles of life-tho
battle for bread, the battles for social
ana political preferment and the intel
lectual battle-and it is safe IN saw
mat his hearers not only spent one OF
,ne most enjoyable evenings of their
NE, but that they We're also furnished
1000 for many hours of serious
thought by the gifted speaker. Mr..
Zones tickles the emotions. and during
ms lecture laughter and tears have a
battle royal, but he does not fail to
ueal sledgehammer blows which take
root in the human heart, and are
power for good in the land
The lecture was delivered under the
auspices OF Class No. l, of Cumber-
land Street NJ. Il. Church. sunday

The other day a married couple were
walking down one of the main thor
Oughfares Of 4 north country town, and
the husband, noting the attention other
women obtained from pasSersby, re-
marked to his better half:
Folk nivver look at thee. 1 wish
I'd married some one better looking"
The woman tartly replied:
It's thy fault. Dusta think a man'n

meI Thee step behind an thahl see

he hung back about a dozen yards
and for the length of street was sur
prised TO see every man his wife passed

look after her when she had passed.
"Sal, lass" he exclaimed. Il was

Hints mud Hnir.

Undoubtedly badness is on the in
crease. particularly among young men.
The sale Of wigs gets larger every
year.
one OF the leading causes Of badness
is the stiff hat. Bowler and silk hats
exert a firm pressure around the head,
preventing the circulation Of the blood.
Soft hats would be less hurtful; no hat
would be still better. Most Of the arti-
fetal hair sold in this country comes
from the heads OF the peasant girls OF
Europe. Hair cutters constantly &C
about making bargains for this hair
These girls never wear hats.
