Prevents Collisions

The Baltic is equipped with an elec- trical device for preventing collisions with other vessels. The moment an- other ship enters the magnetic field" of the Baltic the needle of the indicat- Ing instrument points i'll the direction overtaken, and the steersman knows at once what course to take. Even the rhythmic beats of an unseen steamers screws are registered by means of this delicate apparatus. Another safeguard Is an electrical contrivance to show if the ships lights are burning properly.

First Use. of Torpedoes.

Torpedoes for the destruction of ves- sells were first used in the spring of 1861 by the confederates in the James river In 1865 the secretary of the navy re- ported that more ships had been lost by torpedoing than from all other causes. Gen. Rains, chief of the confederate tor pedo service, put the number at 5S, a greater number than has been destroyed in all the wars since.

School N otes.
Custer.

Since the opening of the second term
the Caesar class have read over one half
of Book Two. Although they find it
takes some hard study to bring up the
work they are doing well, and read on
an average about two chapters a day.
The Algebra class have taken up the
rather difficult study of Radicals and
find that a little burning of midnight
oil" is necessary in order to help up the
standard.
With the beginning of the New Year
the ninth grade dropped civil govern
ment and physical geography, and take
up English and bookkeeping. The
work in the tenth grade is regular
throughout both terms.
The class in geometry started, on
Wednesday on the Fourth Book in
geometry. Only one more book remains
and plane Geometry" will be finished,
for which fact We are devoutly thankful.
The Rhetoric class Of the tenth grade
have been doing a great deal of writing
lately. Last week they characterized
Jeane Valjeane, the hero in Victor
Hugho's Lies Miserables" and this week
they are writing, from imagination, a
story on the "Wandering Jew"
The Opus Literary Society again in
vite all friends who take an interest in
our work to visit us on Program day, the
first and third Fridays of each month.
An interesting debate, Resolved that
the Senators should be elected by direct
vote of the people" vas a feature of the
last. The next question for debate is
"Resolved that women should have the
right of suffrage.
The visitors the last two weeks were :
Mrs. Powell, Miss Luella Read and Miss
Pearle Willard of Hermosa.
There has been a slight change in the
arrangements of the High School seats,
or rather of the occupants, and our ranks
which before were not very compad are
O even more scattered, much to the
sorrow (?) of Professor Jackson.
The ninth grade have now entered up
on the broad sea of bookkeeping but as
vet no frowns have clouded their brows.
However the tenth grade can fully SYM
pathize with these beginners, and We
trust they will not realize the truth of
Mark Twain's saying that all Of us are
out of Balance"
The average as a whole was very good
this month a greater percentage raised
their grade than ever before in this
school year.
We have come to the conclusion that
pupils make New Years resolutions, and
teachers make New Years rules. One of
the high schools resolutions is that we
will apply ourselves to our studies, and
keep our standard high.
During the last week of cold weather
the members Of the High School have
been very sorry that, at the first OF the
term, they did not decide to exclude the
recesses. 1t has been so exceedingly
disagreeable that the pupils have not
been able to enjoy the outdoor fun, but
have remained around the fire in the
school room.
The Opus Literary Society will give a
program on Friday, January Goth, and
one of the principal features will be a
general debate, Resolved that Woman's
Su frage should be granted"

Saved From Terrible Death.

The family of Mrs. NJ. L. Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were. powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption turned despair
into Joy. The first bottle broughtimme'
date relief and its continued use COM
pletely cured her. It's the most certain
cure in the world for all throat and lung
troubles. Guaranteed bottles Soc and

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food dlges-
ton, and a regular use ofGerman Syrup.
Free exp~ectoration in the morning Is
made certain by German Syrup, so Is a
good nights rest and the absence OF that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus-
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread Of the consumptive can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of con
sumptives there, the few who are bene-
fitted and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c
