terrible storm struck the agency at
the Quiniault reservation Sunday
night, and report says that David
Kerr. prominent man in this city,
was killed. Several others were
seriously injured.
The storm on North Beach Sun
day evening seems to have reached
the climax of its fury at the agency
at about 70 o'clock last night.
Houses belonging to a great many
of the residents,ineluding the Tom
anowis church, were blown down
and other damage was done to
property.
In the house belonging to Harry
Shale we're G. II. Hungerford, of
this city, proprietor of fthe Pomona
hotel; Rev. Mr.. Parsons and Mr..
and Mrs. David Kerr. After the
storm Mr.. and Mrs. David Kerr
were missing, and a search found
them covered with debris. David
Kerr had evidently been struck by
falling timber, as he was dead when
found and Mrs. Kerr was uncon-
scioue, and it is reported that she
connot live. An Indian chief,
who is the father Of the Shale boys,
was badly injured and it is doubt
full whether he will live. Mr.. Par
sons had his collarbone broken.
The house of Johnny Shale was
picked up and carried 80 yards,
while the barns and bulldogs are
askew. The body of David Kerr
will be brought to this city today
on the Ranger.
This storm appears to have been
in the nature of a tornado and blew
a passage so feet wide through the
thickest portion of tie city.
I David Kerr was 35'years old and
of Scotch descent. He had been z
resident of this part of the state fol
20 years. He was married las1
month to Mrs. Clarke, of this city
and they were on their way to theil
homestead at Clearwater and hac
stopped at the agency for a day un
| til the storm abated. Mrs. Kerr il
still unconscious.
Washington, Feb. 23.-Advicel
were received today by the Japan
ese minister dated Toxic statinl
that the Russians had sustained a
nother disastrous defeat at Port Ar
thur at the hands of Admiral Uriu
): The cable states that four Rus
sian torpedo-boat destroyers wer
captured, which seriously cripple
4 the remainder Of the czar's fleet a
that place.
Under cover'of darkness Sunda,
night Admiral Uriu advanced eigh
torpedo boats into the harbor, US
ing Russian signals to effect th
purpose. Not until too late di'
, the Russian commander detect th
J, game, and then not until four mac
. tive destroyers were taken una
wares and captured. One is report
, ed sunk. .......-s i.
The same dispatch was receives
> at the state department dated To

information came from Chefoo. Th
latter dispatch says that the Jap
: apese are sure of victory and an
, nouncs that they can take Port Al
. thur at any time they desire to cor
: centrats their forces. The reaso
' for not doing so at once is said t
!, be due t, the fact that Russia ha
! practically given up the forme
: stronghold as a point of great &C
vantage. In view of this fact th
: japanese say that they will be cor
: tent at the present to wipe out th
g remaining vessels of the Port Al
t thur fleet and then give all after

Japanese torpedo boats attemp

ingenious part of this most ingenious
piece OF mechanism. Its piston, pen
dulum, and springs perform the i'm
portant work of regulating the hori
zontal rudders which keep the torpe-
do at the proper depth. Immediately
in front Of the secret chamber is a
narrow compartment perforated on it's
walls to allow the outside water to
enter. The front wall Of the secret
chamber carries a piston, which can
move in the direction of the axis of
the torpedo. The pressure of the wa
ter is resisted by three coiled springs.
At certain predetermined depth. ac-
cOrding to the tension on the springs,
the springs and water pressure will
be in equilibrium; below that depth
the piston will be driven in by the wa
ter pressure, and above it the springs
will push forward the piston. To pre-
vent too sudden oscillation in this ac-
ton, the piston is connected to the rod
of swinging pendulum. The mo-
ton of the piston is communicated
by rods, which pass through the hol
low stay rods of the air chamber to the
horizontal or diving rudders. If the
torpedo goes too deep, the piston moves
back, the pendulum swings forward,
and the ruddcrS are elevated, the re-
verse movements taking place if the
immersion is not sufficient When a
torpedo dives into the water the first
part of its run is made on wave line
which crosses and recrosses the de-
sired and ultimate level of immersion,
the piston and the pendulum gradual
~ bringing the torpedo to a true
course. The reservoir forms the cen
! trail body of the fish" 1t is made of
forged cast steel and is tested up to
seventy atmospheres A tuyere at its
after end feeds the air to the engine.
The torpedo is driven by a three-cyl
inder engine, with cylinders 120 de-
grees apart, acting on common
crank The engine is started by
means of valve which is opened by
q lever striking projecting lug on
the launching tube, when the torpedo
is fred
The buoyancy chamber is an air
tight compartment, the purpose of
which is to afford the proper buoyan-
cy to the torpedo; it carries a piece of
lead ballast, by shifting which the
trim can be controlled. The tubes carry
the connecting rods for controlling the
horizontal diving rudders.
Next comes the bevel gear chamber,
where is located the gear for caus-
ing the propellers to rotate, in OPP
posite directions The after propeller
is keyed to the main shaft; the forward
propeller is keyed TO a sleeve which
rotates freely upon the main shaft,
and the motion is reversed by means
of two bevelwheel gears which turn
on spindle at right angles to the
main shaft. The tall consists of a
stock with vertical vanes, which act
as the vertical rudder, and two frames
which carry the horizontal rudders.
