Experimenting With Invention to
Lessen Rolling at Sea
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Fress
BERLIN, March 23-The Hamburg
American line is building new steam
er at the Vulcan works at Stettin,
which will be fitted with an invention
of Otto Shyk, an engineer of Ham
burg, which it isSexpected will reduce
the rolling OF vessels at sea to mini

as to counteract the shifting of the
center of gravity of the ship.
The invention hitherto has been
tested only in connection with models,
but the Hamburg-American officials
are so convinced of it's utility that they
are advancing money and loaning a
vessel for a trial, which will take place
in June or July. Naval engineers re-
gard the invention as to be of the ut
most use in warships, adding to the
stability of gun platforms.
