An Opposition Siren.

A new enterprise In Annapolis, that
started in operation the latter part OF last
week, is causing the midshipmen annoy
ance. Il is canning factory located near
the new part of the Naval Academy
which blows a steam whistle for its EN-
ployes that sounds similar to the siren
cali OF FIRE used at the Naval Academy.
Saturday afternoon about two hundred
midshipmen had liberty in town, when
the canning factory siren blew. The
midshipmen ran at full speed to the
Academy to respond 10 the fire call, as
they supposed only to discover their
mis- axe. One of the midshipmen ran
out OF barber shop with his face half
shaved. as no matter where they are, the
midshipmen are expected to respond
quickly to the siren call. The mistake
caaused by similarity of the new canning
factory whistle and the siren at the Naval
Academy has occasioned much amuse-
ment during the past few days.
