LIFE ON A wARsH,P.
why the Men Are Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic Sports. Il

Why the Men Are AAAOWe0 10 AnOuA00
In Athletic Sports.
To see thirteen inch gun loaded
and fred is sight not to be forgotten
The projectile Is thirteen inches IN
diameter, about three feet in length
and weighs LOO pounds: The powder
pounds. The cost for each shot is
about $500. When all is ready on the
range the signal siren sounds. there is
binding flash, Il roar like thunder
and Earring shock. Then you hear
the whining screech Of the shell, for
all the world like fast express round
Ing sharp curve. The projectile Is
visible almost from the time it leaves
the gun. You see it rip through the
target and strike the water beyond,
throwing up a column of liquid many
feet high. The shell sllips, much like
the fiat stone skipper" of our boy
bod. and again 9 column of water
out, to be repeated time and again.
The shell in it's flight can be watched
without the aid Of glasses for eight
miles or more IN clear weather.
While the life of sailor, from cap
tain down to apprentice, is an almost
continual round Of work, some time is
found for athletic sports, such as
boat racing. football and baseball. The
object of this is to give the men rec
reation and at the same time to foster
the spirit of competition. Besides, it
makes the men easier to manage. The
ship with strong football or baseball
team or the fastest race boat almost
invariably has a happy and easily
managed crew-a crew that will swear
that its officers are the finest men in
the world, and likewise the officers
swear by such a crew. Some ships
have training tables for their athletic
teams, the expense usually being de-
frayed by the officers. The team OF
boat crew, as the case may be, is
petted by the officers and idolized by
the crew, and for some time before a
hard contest the men are excused from
various duties in order that they may
give more time to training.
Every battleship and cruiser has it's
race boat, purchased by contributions
from officers and men. The prices paid
for these boats is, as rule, contingent
upon their winning certain specified
races. The builders are willing to take
chance, knowing that the crew will do
its best to win. For a winning boat the
price is often as much as $1,000 while
for boat that proves less speedy the
builder will accept $500 Or less. On the
result of a fleet boat race as much as
100000 has been known to change
hands, and large sums, are also
wagered on baseball and football
games. This is, Of course, contrary to
the letter of the regulations; but the
sporting instinct is as strong in the
navy as elsewhere-and it is not always
possible to hold down the lid.-Leslie's
Weekly.

WILL BE A MONSTER SHOW.
The Coming State Fair at Grand Forks
Getting Beyond Bounds.

0~S>eeSs
The directors of the state fair which
opens at Grand Forks on the 10Th inst,
supposed they were making ample pro-
visions for exhibitors at the fair this sea.
son when they decided on increasing
the capacity Of the main exhibition hall
by erecting another section two thirds as
large as the present building, by build
ing two more large cattle barns, another
large horse barn, erecting large poul-
try honse, a vegetable exhibition hall.
additional stall room, etc. At the rate
entries for the several departments are
beginning to come in, however, it looks
as though the state fair may overrun its
bounds.
In the livestock department, particu-
larly, will the show be notable one.
People who have the impression North
Dakota is grain growing state only will
have their eyes opened by the exhibit of
North Dakota horses and cattle at the
fair. From every section Of the state
entries are coming of pure bred
horses and various breeds OF cattle,
many of the principal breeders sending
in full herds, aggregating car load
Of each, and the same is true in lesser
degree of both sheep and swine. The
stock judging will be a great feature OF
the fair which will be so arranged as to
er and every farmers boy in attendance,
and indeed everyone who is interested
in horses and cattle.

A PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION

Keeping pace with business development iu
Minneapolis we find that educational matters
have not been neglected. One of the largest edu,
cational institutions, the Electric Business Col.
lege, after years of prosperity has, by reason of
its increased patronage, been pushed into larger
quarters.
The College is located in its new home at the
corner of Third Avenue South and Fifth Street.
The location is the best the city affords, being
quiet corner in refined section.
The best faculty ct business educators to be
procured will be in charge of the various de-
partments, which includes Bookkeeping, Short.
hand, Typewrting, Penmanship, Telegraphy
Preparatory, Electrical engineering, Civil Serv.
ice, Teachers and Physical Culture.
An attractive feature will be thoroughly
equipped gymnasium for both ladies and gentle
men.
The large number of graduates holding re-
sponsible positions is a sta nding tribute to the
1horoughness of the work. An inspection of the
new quarters discloses the fact that the ELECTRIC
will be the best and most thoroughly equipped
commercial school in the Northwest.
The fall term opens September 18th. Any
young person interested in commercial work
should write the Electric Business College, Min
neapolis, for terms and catalogue.

Cranp In the Legs.

People who are subject to cramp in
the legs should always be provided
with good strong piece Of cord, espe-
cially in their bedrooms. When the
cramp comes on take the cord, wind it
round the leg over the place where it
is cramped, take an end in each hand
and give it sharp pull, one that will
hurt little, and the cramp will cease
instantly. People much subject to
cramp in bed have found great relief
from wearing on each leg garter Of
wide tape which has several thin slices
of cork stitched on to it.
