ADMITTED TO ANNAPOLIS.
Lucien KimbalI of Brattleboro and
George T. SWasey, jr Of Barre Are
Middies" at the Naval Academy.

Lucien Kimball. whose success in
passing the mental examination at the
United States naval academy at An
napolis was noted last week. was ad-
mitted as a member of the first year
class at that institution Saturday, hav-
ing had no difficulty with the physical
test. Young Kimball received his
appointment from Congressman Has
kins, and George T. Swasey. jr.,
of Barre, who was appointed by Sen
ator Dillingham;, was also successful,
and was admitted in the class with
Kimball. The young men signed
papers binding their services to the
government for eight years During
their four years term at the academy
they will receive their education. with
all allowances for uniforms and liv-
ing and $500 in cash. 1t is necessary
however. for social and other pur-
poses for the cadets to spend nearly
all their cash allowance. At the end
of four years a cadet who has passed
all examinations is graduated as
ensign. with his rank the same as a
second lieutenant in the United States
army, and receiving about the same
pay as lieutenant. The midship-
men are sent to sea for two years of
duty. often visiting foreign countries,
and at the end of two years they be
come lieutenants of the junior grade
in the navy. Young Kimball. who is
now only II. will be a lieutenant in
the navy at % if he carries through
his work without a break. The fact
that Kimball, a third year student in
the High school. was able TO pass the
examinations on which nine out of
every ten appointees fail. is regarded
as a remarkable achievement. Young
Swasey is a year older than Kimball
and was member of the graduating
class of the Spaulding High school in
Barre this year

The Largest Estey Pipe Organ.

The largest and finest pipe organ
the Estey Organ company has built
designed especially by Superintend-
ent William f. Haskell for the First
Methodist Episcopal church of Colo
RADIO Springs, Colo, has been on eX-
hibitiOn at the factory this week. The
quality and capacity of the organ were
brought out by Prof Edgar Kern Of
Philadelphia Tuesday evening before
a large company in a varied program
of two hours. The organ. which will
be shipped in a few days. is Is feet
wice 10 feet in depth and % feet
high. Its style is Italian renaissance.
its color is malachite green. the pipes
are richly ornamented in soft gray
and green tints, with furnishings Of
gold. 1t has two manuals with con
cave pedals. The great organ has nine
stops, the swell II, the pedal four.
couplers six. pedal movement seven.
besides the mechanical accessories
of II stops. there being 1882 pipes.
The stop action is OF the Haskell pat
ented register keys. a substitute to
the old system OF draw stop" action.
This consists Of an abridged keyboard
placed just above the manual keys.
The white key. which is substituted for
the ordinary draw stop. when depress-
ed brings into play the register of
pipes or couplers indicated thereon,
and its alternating black key when de
pressed closes this register, it being a
device remarkable for its simplicity
ard reliability. 1t is pneumatic in its
working, and affords the least possible
resistance. it being impossible for the
register to be left partially drawn. thus
putting the organ ont of tune. The
success of the pipe organ department.
