CRUISER A WRECK
British Warship Dashes
Upon the Rocks in a
Dense Fog.
(By the Associated Press.)

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 3.-H. NJ. S.
Flora went on the rocks in a dense fog
early today near Village Point, Dennlan
Island. the place where the collier Will
Jeanette went ashore several years ago.
The stern is submerged, but the bow is
high out OF water The weather is calm.
The Flora was going at high rate OF
speed when she struck her bow being
driven on the shelf of rocks with crash
which shook seamen from their feet and
shivered the big cruiser from end to end.
The sea rushed in quickly through the
open scuppers and soon the after part of
the vessel was below the water. The Off
GERS were driven from their quarters and
were only able to save what few things
they could carry in their hands. Much
damage. has been done at the bow, and
the vessel. which is worth million and
a quarter dollars, is believed to be a
total wreck.
1t is believed the wreck was due to the
navigating officer installing a spar buoy
for a beacon on the opposite side of the
channel, four miles south. He turned to
port, thinking he was avoiding this, in
stead of going to starboard as he should
have done. When he discovered his mis-
take the cruiser was piled high on the
rock.
The Flora is a vessel of 1850 tons dis
placement.

judges the quality of pomatums. An
other and even more remarkable part
of the business is to examine a popu-
lar imported perfume, determine from
the smell of what it is made and enable
his employer to procure it here.
Like the experts in the diStillerieS,
who will take any given wine or spir-
it's, and after examination produce a
counterfeit which only a connoisseur
could detect as such, the smelling ex-
pert by means of his unerring nose
makes possible the production here of
any perfume that it is desired to imi-
tate.
Possessed of so valuable nose, he
takes the utmost care of it. He does
his best to avoid taking cold, and
guards himself with special care when
the influenza comes round. A single
bad cold may disable his nose for weeks
and throw him out of employment. He
avoids, also, as far as possible, all
strong odors, good or bad, to preserve
the delicacy of his olfactories.
