SOMETHING DOING
AT BREMERTON

Three vessels of the United States navy
will undergo extensive repairs thus sum
mer at the navy yard at Bremerton. This
may require an increase of the working
force at the yard from its present number
of 800 to 200 men. The frst-class cruiser
Albany some time ago was ordered there
from the Asiatic station, and is now re-
ported to be on the way across the Pacific.
She will undergo thorough overhaulng
and repairing, and in part will be rebuilt.
The Albany is 4,000-ton vessel.
The gunboats Annapolis and Vicksburg,
both now on the China station, also have
been ordered to Bremerton for extensive
repairs. The Vicksburg, at last report, was
at Chemulpo, Korea. 1t will be remem-
bered she played a part in the history
maying of the United States last Feb
ruary, when her commander refused to
join with the commanders of other foreign
warships at that harbor in an attempt TO
protect the Russian warshps, the Variag
and Korietz, from Admiral Uriu's japanese
fleet

DEAD BIRDS For HATS.

In nothing is the good sense of woman
shown more emphatically than in her alb
solute refusal to wear birds. wings and
breasts upon her hats. The women have
been slow in awakening and have per-
mitted the milliners to sell to them against
their will hats adorned with the bodies of
dead birds but this season shows that the
milliners have at last thought il wise to
introduce something else that even though
a bebrded or bewinged hat is smart" the
women of America are beginning to refuse
to stand for this wholesale slaughter of the
feathered tribes.
1t is thought that women do not know
what the wearing Of birds means or they
would have long ago stopped the outrage.

more than big business, trade, a way
to make money. Only few years ago
England imported more than 25,OO0,OOO
dead birds annually because the women of
England wanted them. There is no use
denying the fact, the WOMEN WANTED
DEAD BIRDS, else the milhners would
not have carried the stock In a single sea-
son certain Chicago dealer handled 81
100000 humming birds. Humming birds,
think of it, little flower birds, little honey
slippers! The same dealer received 300 600
other birds of different varieties, among
which was ldrse number of bobolinils,

ers when his song is stilled.

What would the world be like without
the birds? Besides affording cheer and
amusement by their song and daintiness
they have by actual experiment been prov
ed to be of inestimable value to the agri
culturst. The mischief by the few is far
outweghed by the good done by the many
in destroying insects, bugs and worms.

RESURRECTION"

Wagenhals and Kemper will present
Blanche Walsh at the Tacoma theater this
evening in Resurrection,n with a company
comprising over 40 people. and with the
complete production as seen during the
four months run of the play at the Vic
toria theater, New York.
Interest in the event is naturally pro
nounced, more so, probably, than has been
shown in any offering on the local stage
during the present season. It would be
surprising if this were not the case. for
Miss Walsh's personal triumph, no less
than the salient features of "Resurrec-
ton have been almost a constant topic
for dramatic gossip ever since the first
performance of the play.

ARE CAST IRON COLUMNS SAFE?

At the fortnightly meeting of the American So
cety Of Civil Engineers. on May IS. a spirited dis
cussion took place over a paper read by Mr.. H de
B. Parsons, the cause of the collapse OF the
Darlington Hotel early in last March.
After describing in detail the cast iron columns
and other portions of the structure. Mr.. Parsons
concluded: THE structure collapsed because OF
lack of lateral support for the story column"
Among nine participants In the ensuing discus
sion there was a practical unaninity in condemn
ing the use OF cast iron for such structures. Six
ms tances Of similar disasters were cited as oc-
curing within the last ten years. and IN every
Case the damaged buildings had used cast columns,
while no case had been found or failure on ac-
count OF steel columns The sentiment of the meet
ing was apparently voiced BY a speaker. who re-
called how railroad engineers have Tor twenty-five
years barred the Of cast iron in bridges. and
how their prudence in this among other things IS
recognized by the insurance companies who place
q premium IipOn the security OF railroad travel BY
paying twice the amount OF their ordinary policies
in case of accidents while travelling the rail-
ways He urged the desirability OF employing only
competent engineers in the design CT tall buildings
and also that the Building Codes be amended as
forbid The use of the VIGOROUSLY dangerous cast
iron columns now allowed. AS stated in a recent
article with steel columns a wholly satisfactory
design is possible in a. cases. While the limitations
