Few persons realize the Importance
and value of the United States Life
Saving Service. The service is a regu-
lar branch of the Government. and ex-
ceeds In size that of any foreign land
The extent OF the service is shown
by the area which 1t covers.
The cluster of inland seas known as
the Great Lakes contains an area OF
about $4,000 square miles. and has a
coast line within the limits Of the United
States of nearly $500 miles. These seas
are open to navigation about eight
months in the year; at other times
closed by ice, although one or two
steamers cut their way across Lake
Michigan at intervals throughout the
winter. There are few natural harbors,
but large number of artificial ones.
These are formed at the mouths OF
banks out into the lake for a consid-
cradle distance and dredging the bottom
between.
Great Danger on Lakes.
The lakes are generally tranquil but
at certain seasons are visited by vio-
lent gales which throw their fresh
waters into furious convulsion with a
suddenness unknown upon the ocean.
Vessels unable to hold their own against
the severity of these storms are likely
to be left with only the choice between
stranding wherever they may be driven
and seeking refuge in the harbor that
seems most accessible. The latter course
is naturally the one taken. To effect an
entrance within the narrow space be-
tween the piers at such times with sail
ing vessels and even with steamers. is
frequently a task of extreme difficulty.
and the luckless craft are liable to
strand upon the bar on one or the
other side of the piers, and meet de-
struction.

The New Koch TUberculine medicine
that cures consumption is here, also the
latest inhalation apparatus. For years
new improvements have been constantly
going on. The results are marvellous
and today this is easily the greatest
medical discovery of half a century, and
Il marks revolution in treating dis
eases of the lungs. This wonderful
treatment is given in Washington only

The latest new Koch treatment differs
from all others. By means OF a patented
apparatus, invented by DR.. Edward Koch,
the vapors are breathed into the air
tubes and reach the deep places in the
lungs that are never touched by ordi-
nary medicines, and they heal the dis
eased spots. They soften the sore mem

POSEY'S OWL GOES HOME,
AND so DOES ANNIE SHINN

Posey's owl has come home to roost
once again. Yesterday William Posey,
9O5 e Street northwest. reported to the
police that Annie Shinn, living directly
across the street from him, had captured
the bird and refused to give IL up. An
nie, when arraigned in Police Court yes
terday, told Judge Scott that she had
found the owl and was "only keeping
IT" until the owner came.
Posey said that Annie demanded IS for
keeping the bird. but when he offered
only 80 cents she drove him away and
told him never to come back
The matter was amicably adjusted by
tie bird being delivered to Posey and
Annie was released on her personal
bonds

ARMY OFFICERS MAY NOW
CARRY MORE BAGGAGE

The general staff has advised changes
in army regulations which will make it
possible for officers to carry three
times as much baggage at the Govern
ment's expense as can be transported
under present regulations. The new
regulations viii permit the carrying OF
the following amounts OF baggage by
officers:
For a major general. 10.50O pounds;
brigadier general. $500; field officer,

crew OF a station Is determined by the
number Of oars required to pull the
largest boat belonging to II. There are
some five-oared boats in the Atlantic
stations, but at all of these there is at
least one of six oars. Six men. there
fore, make up the regular crews of these
stations. but a seventh man is added n
December, so that during the most
rigorous portion of the season a man
may be left ashore to assist in the
launching and Bleaching of the boat and
to see that the station is properly pre-
pared for the comfortable reception of
his comrades and the rescued people
they bring with them on their return
from a wreck; also to aid in doing the
extra work that severe weather necessi-
tates. Where the self-righting and
self-bailing boat which pulls eight oars
is used. mostly at the lake stations. a
corresponding number Of men is en-
ployed.
Keeper Selects His Men.
The crews are selected by the keepers
from able-bodied and experienced surf
men residing in the vicinity of the re-
spective stations. This privilege is
granted the keepers in view of the obvi-
Gus necessity for mutual confidence be-
tween a leader and his followers in
hazardous enterprises involving their
own lives and the lives of others, and In
view of the strict responsibility to
which each keeper is held for the good
repute of his station and the conduct
of Its affairs.
In the absence of strong counteracting
inducements these considerations would
naturally lead TO the choice of the best
men to be had. 1t was early found how
ever, that political, social, and family
influences were often strong enough TO
so control the selection as 10 materially
affect the efficiency of a crew. To op-
pose them certain regulations were es-
tablished, the most important of which

Theaters in Paris.

While in nearly every capital of Eu-
rope the state theaters have been provid-
ed with secret underground passages to
admit of the escape of the reigning family
in the event Of danger from populace
disturbances. those at Paris having
played notable role in the reigns Of
King Louis Philippe and Of Napoleon III,
it is a curious fact that few if any safe
guards have been adopted TO protect the
metropolitan palaces of the sovereigns
from attack in the case OF an insur-
rection. II is true that three centuries
have elapsed since Queen Mary-Bloody
Mary-was besieged in the Tower Of
London by the citizens of London But
the royal and imperial palace of the
Tuilleries was sacked by Partisan mobs
no less than four times within the
sraee Of a hundred years before being
finally reduced to ashes by the Petrol
louses of the Commune rebellion of 1871
while only three months ago the Konak
or palace at Belgrade, was invaded at
night by a horde Of mutinous officers,
who murdered King Alexander and Queen
DTaga- Both had been warned that their
lives were in danger and that a coup de
main at night was contemplated upon
the palace. But the latter. being built
so that its windows opened onto the
very street, there was no means OF de-
Tending II against any attack and the
only obstacle which the conspirators
found in their path was a steel lined
door. shutting off access to the private
apartments, but which was speedily de-
stroyed by means of a stick of dyna-

Unprotected Residences.

Most of the town residences of the Old
World rulers are built in the same fash
ion--that is, facing right onto the public
thoroughfares. with no private grounds
separating them from the street-so that
any passer-by might hurl a bomb through
one OF the windows before the sentries
and police on duty at the entrances could
interfere. Indeed. at Rome, a public
street car line runs right under the
Quirinai, beneath the apartments Of the
King, who turned deaf ear 10 the au-
tEorities when they urged him to with
draw the permission accorded by his
father 10 tunnel through the foundations
OF his residence, although theyE pointed
out to him that the subway would great

Cowardice of Boulanger.

Cowardice of Boulanger.
For a number of years, after the es-
tablishment OF the third republic. in
France. in 1870, the Presidents resided
a Versailles, being unwilling to expose
themselves to the danger of popular
disturbances at Paris, and 1t can
not be said that at his palace
in the Rue St. Honore the chief
magistrate is altogether secure from
peril OF this character. Nothing but
the cowardice of Boulanger stood in the
way of his adherents marching upon
the Elysee and establishing the Brave
General" there as dictator on the fate
full night when he was elected membar
for Paris.
King Alfonso, King Carlos. the Sui
tan. and King Edward are perhaps the
most securely lodged in their respective
capitals. The palaces of the rulers of
Portugal and Spain are perched the one
on hill and the other on rock, while
at Constantinople the YildiZ Kiosk is
as much of a well-defended stronghold
ander III was accustomed to make his
home there throughout the greater part
of his reign. Buckingham Palace. the
London home of King Edward, has an
immense private park on one side,
Green Park on the second side. St
James Park and Birdcake Walk on the
third side, while as far as the remain
ing side is concerned, it is remote from
the public street. Moreover, il is sur

thus endowing its illustrious occupants
with degree of privacy enjoyed by no
other European sovereign in his metro
politan residence. King Edward may be
said to be indebted for this to his great
grandmother. Queen Charlotte, who,
having been hOoted and pelted with
stones and offal by London mob. de-
termined to have a residence that could
be made more secure against it's attacks
than either st. James or Kensingtou
palaces. and consequently purchased the
Buckingham House property, which until
her death was known as the Queen s
House.

Indeed. it has been found so dangerous
TO venture far In this immense subter-

Mayors Chances to Succeed Himself are
Brighter Than at Any Time His Can
didaCy Was Announced.

Byrne's chances to succeed himself
are brighter today than at any time
since the mayor announced his candi-
dacy, and 1t is evident that his
strength is hourly increasing.
Throughout the business part of the
city today there are but two candi-
dates / nthe field-Byrne and Acuff
The first Of these is the general fav-
orite, and the second is strong in
circles that have the endorsement of
the Commercial club. In addition to
canvassing the business men, Mr..
Acuffs friends in the Commercial
club are literally putting up money,
and it is admitted they have displayed
the most coin of any candidate in the
race.
Rasher does not seem to be serious
~ considered, and it is evident that
his strength is going to Acuff.
Boyd's chances look shakS. a can
vass of the business men shows that
they are not supporting him. His
frantic efforts to get the support of
trades unionism have failed. All of
the prominent labor leaders have de-
clared for Byrne. and are supported
in their stand by the rank and file.
Lower Howard street is vociferous
in backing Boyd. but their failure to
force the LIQUOR dealers association
into line last night shows the weak
ness of the Boyd following.
Boyd's most serious menace, how
ever is the split in his own party
ranks. The Ankeny wing of the party
is .ostensibly supporting the republic
can nominee, but it realizes that this
is the last stand of The Wilson-liop-
