Mistakes in Flag Raisings.

who are, cognizant Of the fact that OLD
Glory tops everything in the American
possessions and must not go below under
any circumstances. AT many of the flag
raisings there are pennants unfolded on

the flag, is made. This is very irritating
10 the regular navy men, who regard
such an act IN their ranks as deserving of
dismissal. A number of the officers sta
toned at League Island navy yard have
time and again had the flag given its
proper pace on poles in various parts
Of the city especially over the school,
houses downtown. On Decoration Day
there was flag-raising over the Matthew
w. Baldwin school, sixteenth and Porter
streets, and the pennant, which contained
the school name. was placed at the top
OF the pole. Word came from Leagus
Island that the countrys coiors should
be put at the top, and the error was Inn
mediately corrected. Recently the same
mistake was made at National Park. on
the Delaware river. The Irritating sight
was seen from League Island. and mes
senger was dispatched in boat to have
the positions of the flag and pennant re-
versed.

HOW THE FORCE OF FIRING IS COUNTER
ACTED IN FORTS AND ON SHIPS.
The subject OF recoT has been with
which makers of ordnance have been compelled
to gTapple ever since large guns have come
into use, and the methods Of overcoming the
reco and replacing the piece in the proper
position have changed with the pattern OF the
guns. In the days when muzzle loading guns
were in use great hawsers were used to fasten
the piece either to the masonry Of the fortifi-
cation the ships side. and these haw
sers prevented the guns from leaving their
places after the discharge.
The next plan adopted by the gunmakers
was TO put the moving part incline, by
means of which the gun returned to it's firing
position by gravity. But this method too
cumbrous and slow for quick acting guns, and
a mechanism had TO BE- devised which would
promptly bring the piec" back 70 its original
position and take up little space. The reports
published to the effect that the recci cham
bers of the big guns the new battleship
Kentucky found defective brought that
