preceded IT, but 1t does not mark the
limit OF progress. Work Is now pro-
ceedlng upon an improved form OF the

pated that II viii have a range of 1000

revolutionary phase In naval warfare
in which first place must be given to
the torpedo man. II is difficult for
anyone who has not some knowledge

his command a machine that IL cap

The Deadly Sea Dart.

The events which marked the out
hreal, of hIstllhles Detween Japan and
Russia have drawn considerable at
tentIon to the torpedo as an engine OF
war. Tor every year past we have
heard a lot about "the man behind the
gun" but the japanese have shown us
that "the man behind the torpedo
may now be regarded as an equally
important factor when 1t comes to
fight. Much has been said both for
and against the weapon, and open
doubts have been expressed, by naval
men, too, as to it's usefulness. The
Japanese have llspelled this once and
for all. The part played by the tor
pedo ut Port Arthur gives additional
interest TO experiments now being car
ried on with this weapon by the Brit
ish naval authorities. Already they
have resulted in some improvements
being effected. The latest 14-inch tor
pedo, which is going to the battleship
Prince Of Wales and other new ships,
will run for 1000 yards at a speed Of
80 knots per hour. This Is very

Then the Board Laughed.

A great many OF the answers given
by men who enter the civil service list
for examination as 10 their quailflca-
tlons for positions on the police force
are OF such character as to cause the
examining board many laugh. One
young man who wrote his answers In
a fairly good hand answered thus 10
the following questions:
what would be the best treatment
for person found with broken leg
until nich time as the service OF a
physician could be procured?"
Answer: "Place the man on his
back in perpendicular position. rest
ing easy on the leg that Is good, care
fully bandaging the broken leg at the
break. admitting plenty Of fresh air
and ring in for the doctors wagon"
How would you treat person for
gas asphyxlationY
Answer: Keep him in cool place,
far away from light and. fire, opening
up his clothes and rolling him over on
his stomach and tapping him gently on
the soles OF the feet with your club
while you send for the Doctors bus;

Trouble is Experienced lin See
curing Seamen When
Sailing Day Arrives.

According TO the Journal there Is q
deaith OF sailors In Portland. BY the
last OF the week the barkentine News
boy and the schooners Lunsmann and
Hall win be ready to sail, tht former
for Honolulu and the other two for
China. They are short IA men. says
the Portland paper. but officers of the
local union report that there are only
two sailors in port not employed. The
same condition Is said to exist In Sc
attic and the indications are that the
lumber carriers will be delayed several
days waiting for crews. II Is believed
that the requisite number can be Sc
cured by sending to San Francisco,
The agent OF the union reports that
the shortage Is due to the fact that
many of the sailors have gone to the
fishing grounds to spend the summer.
AS the Alaska shipping season will
shortly open up again. others have
gone north. where they are able to
find more profitable employment than
at the southern coast ports. For these
reasons the indications are that there
win be scarcity OF sailors for sew
eral months TO come.
At times. so 1t Is stated, consider
able difficulty is experienced in secur-
ing sailors for the coasters" as the
wages paid for them is but $25
month; on the leep water vessels the
scale is $40. But on the former the
men do not have to load and discharge
the cargoes, while on the latter they
have all this work to do. The men ex-
plain, however, that they would rather
do the extra work and get the In
IiNasGu pay
Among local seamen a. coaster is a
vessel that is bound for an American
port, whether 1t is in the Philippines
or the Hawaiian islands. All others are
known as deep sea craft, but at the
same time they may not be making
nearly so long a voyage as the coast
ers." They are so called, however, In
order to distinguish the vessels bound
for American ports from those sailing
for foreign destinations. All are deep
water vessels, but to be coaster. ac-
cording to the authorities on the wa
ter-sront, the craft must be bound for
some port not owned by the United
States.

Patrol Being Repaired.

Acting under authorization from the
department at Washington, Special
Deputy Collector Parker yesterday
awarded to the Astoria Iron Works the
contract for repairing the boiler OF the
treasury tug Patrol which has been
out OF commission for about two
months as the result OF charges pre-
ferred against her crew. Mr.. Parker
said the repairs would entail an ex-
penditure of not to exceed 500. The
work was begun yesterday and today
the tug will go back into service again
The Patrols original crew viii take
charge OF her. The failure OF the ef-
fort on the part Of the people OF the
sound to have the tug sent there for
service was due to the energetic action
OF Senator Fulton, who lost no time
in countertacing the knocking that
emanated from Seattle.

REPAIRS NOT COMPLETED.
Steamship Columbia Not Yet Ready to
Resume Her Run.

Resume Her Hun.
Since being placed on the drydock at
San Francisco, 1t has been discovered
that the rudder poast Of the steamer
Columbia. the o. r. & n. Co.'S big
coas. liner, is badly twisted and conse-
auently several more weeks will elapse
before she can be put in condition TO
resume her run. 1t was the intention
TO have her in shape to take the place
of the steamer Oregon as soon as the
latter reached the Bay City from As
toria. All preparations we're complet-
ed with this end In view, but word has
been received that the plans would
have to be altered somewhat. To
make the necessary repairs, 1t is esti-
mated that it will require fully two or
three weeks time.
The steamer Columbia was taken out
of commission last winter in order to
give her a thorough overhaullng. In
addition, she has been converted into
an oil burner, and when the steamer
again resumes her cun 1t is said that
she will be practically a new boat and
one of the best in the coast service.

latter will care for the passenger traf-
tic.
The scheme Is yet in Its Infancy. but
is being given consideration by the
water line officials. Superintendent
Conway Is away from Portland at this
time, but II Is learned that everything
points to the adoption of additional SER
vice, as from now on until fall freight
offerings begin to improve on the river,
and by the opening Of the summer
season the congestion is such that the
Hassalo IL often delayed and does not
make proper connections at Astoria
for North Beach points.
she Elmore whio hnow plies the up

cross the bay to the city by the Sea,
and the idea Is to have her call at Al
toona as the last stop down the
stream. After the fishing season Is at
It's height the Hassalo has large con-
slgnments of cases from the cannery
to transport at Portland and besides It
frequently happens that the towboats
are called upon to load freight for
Portland In order to spell the regular
steamer. The expectation Is, II the
plan Is put In effect as contemplated,
the Elmore will not so on the lower
river much before the tourist season Is
at hand.

which the operator is supposed to act
