FL proSreso naval

En- la tarde del sabado 1ltimo fue
lanzado al aqua en- los astilleros de
Cramp. Filsdelfa, ell acorazado de
combate Mississippi, para la armada
americana. Con ser TN acorazado de
primer orden, forma con el Idaho, que
es de sus mismas cualidades, TN tipo
de buque que muchas de las grandes
potencias estan descartando.
Ell Mississippi y ell Idaho desplaza-
ran 1900 teneladas cada uno, siendo
asf que los acorazados Connec ticut y
Luisiana. lanzados al aqua hace algdn
tempo, y los de igual categorfa Ver-
mont. Kansas y Minnesota, en- curse de
construction. desplazaran 10000 tone
ladas.
Esto signifca que, al menos por e1
presente han prevalecido las opinio-
mes del almirante Dewey, que son de
llevar al maximum possible Ell despla-
zamiento en- esta clase de construccio-
nes. Las mismas ideas prevalecen en-
Gran Bretafla y en- ell Japon, y aunque
algo modiicadas, tambien en- Francia,
donde apenas Sc emprende va cons
truccion de esta clase que no desplace
de catorce 4 ounce mil toneladas 6
mas.
Otra teorfa del almirante Dewey es
la conveniencia de construir de los
llamados cruceros acorazados. cuya
dnica ventaja, en- su sentir, es Ia We
locidad' La question suprema del d1a
probada en- Ell combate de Tsushima,
es potencia de calibre antes y veloci l.
dad luego.
En- Alemania tambien Sc agita mu-
cho la question Los expertos tachan
dem asiado ligero Ell tipo que ALI Sc
usa de acorazados, y en- efecto, los
veintiuno con que va cuenta la escua-
dra alemana, representa- un despla-
miento total de 233, 900 toneladas 6
sea TN promedio de 900. Por 10 de-
mas, ninguno, que sepamos, excede de
1900.
Esta tendencia responde a dos obje-
tos principales, uno declarado y otro
tactic. Ell primero es hacer buques
con bastante radio de acci6n, puesto
que pueden ser necesarios en- Asia
Africa y America, y el segundo no de-
be ser otro que Ell dar colocacion a
bastante genie.
Una ojeada sobre las condolences
del Mississippi basta para disputarle
por maquina capaz de hacer frente 4
cualquier otra, por mucho mayor que
sea. Su baterfa principal consistira
de cuatro caf1ones de 3o4 millmetros
calibre. dos a proa y dos a popa, ocho
de 2o2 milfmetros y dos tubos lama -
torpedos de 522 milfmetros, debiendo
entrar en- las baterfas secundarias doce
pleas de IS milfmetros calibre. seis
de balas de tres libras. cuatro de una
libra, dos de csmpafIa de rs MILNE
tros ocho ametralladoras de dos di-
ferentes tipoS.
Todo este armamento esta clasifca-
do entire tiro rapido y automatico.
La maquina debera desarrollar una
potencia de 10 600 caballos asf anda-
ra I7nudos por hora.

The Fortnightly Literary club mt
last evening with Mr.. and Mrs. RIB.
Griggs and Miss Glennon read a
paper on "American Traits" being
review of Prof. Hugo Munster
berg's volume of the same name. In
the discussion which followed the
problem that appeared to be upper
most was the dealing with pupils in
the public schools. It was held by
some of the members of the club
that there was not enough of rever-
ence on the part of the pupils for
the instructors, and this trait was
not only found among the pupils but
vas alsopronounced among the par
ents as well. Comparison was made

In MemOYiOm.

New Years Day, Jan. 1, 1905,
at the ,.ethodist church in North
Freedom was the funeral of little
Murl Gibbons, the five months old
child Of Mr.. and Mrs. George P.
Gibbons.
Suffer them to come unto me,
One night in dreams I stood,
At Heavens open gate,
And saw the shining multitude,
Thatsround the Savior wait.
saw the golden harps,
1heard the holy song.
The heavenly anthems clear and sweet
From lions blOod-washed throng.
Sweet children robed in white,
With crowns like burning flames,
L saw in that fair world of light,
In numbers none could name.
Around the great white throne,
Through every golden street,
Their crowns of gold brightly shone,
And joyous were their feet.
Dear babes in Christ, thOug
Oh, who would call you back!
Where Sinai's shadows deeply lie,
Along lifes beaten track.
Oh, who would weep to see,
The little body cold!
Could they but know how blest they are,
The babes in Jesus fold.
At half past ten the servic e
began The opening hymn was,
Sometime wei understand, and the
closing one was, Jesus, Saviour,
Pilot Me" All the hymns WEI e
sung with great feeling. The text
of the sermon was, Suffer little
children to come uuto me, and for
bid them not for such is the king
dom of heaven" Much praise is
due to Rev. Cunningham for his
sympathetic sermon. No one could
have heard that sermon without
being benefited by it. The thoughts
of the speaker came from the heart.
He felt every word he said and
none could be in his presence with
out that sublime feeling Of some
thing higher than this world. We,
who heard this sermon, can never
forget it and we hope this gentle
man may live for many years TO
continue with his noble work.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to extend our thanks to
those who sYmpathized with US dur
ing the the sickness and death of our
little daughter; also to those WHO
contributed the beautiful floral
