LONG AND URGENT.
Situation, Says Note, One That Does
Not Brook Delay.

London, Oct. 26.-Great Britain Mon
day sent long and urgent note to the
Russian government officials detailing
the circumstances OF the amazing and
unexplained attack by the Russian
Second snlz,frvn- dlrine-the= night of
October 81 on British fishing boats in
the North sea. The text OF the note
has not been given out, but II is o :
f1cially stated from the foreign office
that the situation is one which. IN the
opinion of his maJesty's government
does not brook delay.
Meanwhile. the conservative public
and press are remarkably undemon.
strative. AS usual. the lingo element
demands war. and even in official quar-
tiers some go so far as TO say that II
may be necessary to stop the Pacific
fleet pending settlement OF the whole
affair. though this extreme measure. II
is believed, viii not be necessary.
In a letter of sympathy to the mayor
of Hull King Edward terms the attack
''unwarrantable action"

NO EXPLANATION.
Nothing Had Been Received Up to
Midnight Monday Night.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-No official
or unofficial Russian explanation of the
unfortunate affair off Dogger banks
was received up TO midnight Monday
night. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky' s
version of the firing upon the British
fisherman. Rojestvensky has commu-
nicated directly to the emperor. but at
1880 o'clock Monday night the admi-
rally announced that it had not yet re-
ceived a report. At the same hour the
foreign office issued a statement eN-
pressing the regrets of the government
for the deplorable incident. but ex-
planning that no formal action is posi-
bic until Admiral Rojestvensky's YER
sion of the affair has been received.
The deepest regret is expressed In
all quarters. and the purpose Of the
government TO make amends IL Rojest-
vensky is found 10 be to blame. En-
peror Nicholas himself was greately
aggrieved when ne heard the news while
he was inspecting the cruiser Oleg at
Cronstadt Monday afternoon. and For
eign Minister Lamsdorff expressed to
Ambassador Hardinge his deepest per-
sonal regrets.
The Russian embassy at London has
been directed to convey similar express
sions to the government of Great Brit
ain. 1t is felt that this is all that can
possibly be done pending the recei 1t
of Admiral Rojestvensky's statement.
That a horrible blundet has been
committed is recognized and deplored
everywhere, and nowhere has an at
tempt been made TO Justify the firing
upon innocent fishermen. 1t is felt
that Rojestvensky is too good man
and officer to be summarily condemned.
1t is agreed that he is entitled to a
hearing. but even the admiralty regret
fully admits that II is at loss 10 I'M
derstand what explanation could justi-
fly such an apparently cold-blooded act
as the affair is made ton appear by for
eign reports.
1t developed during the day that the
admiralty had strong reason 10 believe
that an attempt would be made against
the squadron during its passage
through the Great belt or the Englis \
channel. So specific was the informa-
ton that even the present crisis has
not averted attention from the posi-
hility of such an attack yet occurring.
The failure of the steam trawlers with
their nets out to obey the signals
from the Russian warships or the ner-
vousness of some officer who imagined
that fishermen working with their nets
in the water were laying mines may
be responsible for the blunder. As soon
as the facts are established II IS GER
tain that the Russian government will
voluntarily offer the fullest reparation.

Thinks Fishing Fleet Was Mistaken
For Japanese War Vessels.
Toxic. Oct. .2s.-Details of the sink
ing of the British trawler Crane in
the North sea by the Russian Second
Pacific squadron are not known in To :
kio. and popular and official judgment
are awaiting fuller knowledge. The
only information received came I'm q
few brief kilograms conflicting be-
tween an attack and an accident. The
Jill is the only newspaper commenting
on the incident. It first discusses and
then dismisses II as absurd for Rus
STA, which has shown the want OF wis
dom and discretion several times" Sug-
Gestions are made that the crews of
the squadron desire a pretext for their
recall from the hazardous oriental
cruise. or that Russia desires to save
her fate by involving Great Britain.
Then the paper proceeds: THE most
likely explanation of the outrageous
action is found in the fact that SOM
days ago. owing to a rumor that Jap
anese vessels laden with explosives. had
been reported in the Danish straits. the
Danish authorities sent an escort with
the Russian squadron to prevent any
violation of Danish neutrality. We
know nothing OF the supposed dispatch
of our ships to that quarter. but il is
likely the Russian ships. apphending
an attack by Japanese, out OF excessive
fear mistook the trawlers for Japanese
vessels sinking mines and attacked
them without making an inquiry"

Stretching Beauties

you are tired, the body sags, and for
this reason it actually measures less
than in the brisk, fresh, elastic morn
ing.
Stretching exercises are nowadays
being recommended to increase the
height. What they really do is to
give you the full benefit Of all the
height that rightly belongs to you,
by bracing up the sagging muscles.
They certainly give the appearance of
increased height, to say nothing Of
making life seem more worth the
living. The more you let the muscles
sag or become cramped the harder
it will be to get them into good
habits again. That is why the stretch
ing work is particularly useful at
bedtime, when these muscles are most
i'll need Of correction.
At that time you must get the
body into as relaxed a condition as
possible in order to aid nature She
will do this of herself while you sleep,
but often it is not until deep sleep
of morning that the body becomes
thoroughly relaxed of itself. Hence,
although you are sleeping, you are
not getting the best quality of sleep.
Go to bed as tall as you can.
You are ready for these exercises
at night after the face washing and
the tooth brushing and the scalp mas
sage have been duly attended to. l
don't say after the bath for the week.

tended on the floor, palms up. Now
say to yourself, Somebody is pull
ing me by the feet and somebody is
pulling me by the hands" Consider
that these imaginary somebodies are
having tug-of-war over you. I'M
agine yourself the rope. Stretch your
legs down and your arms up just as
far as you possibly can.
Turn over and lie face downward
on the floor. Go through the same
stretching process. Repeat it on your
right side, then OIL your left. Give
variety to your work by scattering
the floor and board exercises among
the upright ones, After stretching
on the floor, come to an erect and
correct standing position. Stretch the
arms out laterally, palms down.
Now bend the trunk to the right
until the right hand is brought to the
floor and the left is high in the air.
This position must be brought about
by the bending of the trunk alone,
the arms being motionless ali the
while. Bend to the left until the left
hand touches the floor and the right
is up. Back and forth, back and forth,
you will flap like big windmill.
You must aim to keep the knees stiff
and to touch the floor at least with
the finger tips. This is no easy trick
at first, but you will find every night
bringing you nearer the goal.
Balancing yourself while lying on
your back on a piano stool is an art
to be acquired gradually. The perfect
accomplishment would be to lie as
flat, while posing there, as if you
were on the floor. Begin by Iaving

the large ironing board across a chair
or small table and stretching out full
length on it. When this has ceased
to be dizzy sensation, take a smaller
board. Then do away with the board
altogether and balance across the
seat of the chair
In time you will be ready to take
the final step to the piano stool.
Stretch the arms out beyond the head
as far as you can, then draw them
down until the hands are clasped
under the head. Stretch and clasp,
stretch and clasp in counts of one
and two. There may come a time
when you can maintain your balance
while your small brother catches you
by the ankles and whirls you around
with the piano stool, but while you
are in the first stages of practice you
had better keep him out of the way
of temptation.
If you are fortunate enough to have
a horizontal bar III your house, or a
pair of gymnasium rings hung from
the ceiling, use them at this time.
Simply swing from them, letting the
body stretch itself as you do so. 1t
is all very we'll to use them for Skin

The Value of a Side Remark.

A. S. L. Shields, Philadelphia we'll
known criminal lawyer, once turned a
case in his favor by the happy inspi-
ration Of a side remark.
George S. Graham, then district at
torney Of the Quaker City, was max
ing his plea to the jury. Suddenly
pointing to the prisoner, he shouted,
"He has been in politics too long to
be honestH
He paused for moment to let the
full significance of the words sink
home, when in quiet but penetrating
voice, Mr.. Shields, leaning toward the
speaker, said:
you've been in politics some little
time yourself, haven't you, George?"
The jury shook with laughter, Mr..
Graham sat down discounted, and a
few minutes later the twelve good
men and true brought in verdict Of
not guilty.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-06-12

enough to relax those cramped
muscles. Look over the house and
see if you can't find something to
hang froh if rings and bar are not
numbered among your household fur
nishings. Sometimes stairs are built
SO that one can dangle from the edge
of step. A door casing may serve
Search until something presents itself
Place some article on a shelf just
beyond easy reach; reach for it. Do
this first with the right arm and
then with the left. Take the article
down and put it back with each hand
in turn. Take advantage of all the
help your tiptoes offer. Don't grunt
like an old woman while you make
the stretch. Repeat it several times.
See if you cannot place the article a
wee bit higher next night. Vary this
effort by placing the article a good
deal higher and jumping for it.
Again let me warn the woman with
pain in the small of her back against
all of these up-reaching exercises.
What is healthy woman's meat is her

poison. If she is a chronic sufferer
from such pain these reaches are most
dangerous and may bring on serious
disorders.
For instance, standing with fiat
iron raised high above the head is ex-
cellent practice for a girl who is fit;
but I once knew a girl who did this
for few seconds on FIVE successive
days and thereby gave her physician
work for five successive weeks. The
fragile woman must gain her relaxa-
ton by milder means. Light exercises,
particularly mat work, must suffice
for her.
Lying on your back on the floor,
extend the arms straight against your
sides. Rise to sitting posture with
out bending the knees Repeat this
a number Of times until the legs feel
long"
Here is an excellent occasion for
that setting-up exercise which ordered
you to bend the body forward until
the fingers touch the floor, the knees
all the while rigid Stretch the arms
high above the head before bending.
Call in a friend in need. Induce
her to clasp you firmly by the ankles
while you lie face downward on the
floor. Place yourself so that you can
with difficulty reach a door-sill
Clutch it and pull yourself by it until
the body is thoroughly stretched
Don't fancy for a moment that you
are to undertake all of these violent
exercises in one night. Choose just
enough to make you feel thoroughly
relaxed, and to make the bed a deli
cious spot. They will bring about the
early sleep, and the early sleep, you
know, is beauty sleep.
