ADDITIONAL PROFESSORS
Prof. Dashiell and Lieut.. Smith
Recommended.

Superintendent Brownson, of the
Naval Academy, has asked for the ap-
pointment of Paul j. Dashiell and
Lieutenant Harry E. Smith as profess
sors in the department of mathematics
in the navy to be additional member
in that corps. Mr.. Dashiell is now a
professor of physics and chemistry in
the Naval Academy.
Captain Brownson in his letter says
of Professor Dashiell:
"He has been in the department of
physics and chemistry for thirteen
years and his services are valuable in
all ways. He is peculiarly well fitted
TO handle midshipmen, and aside from
his work in the department renders
most efficient service in other ways. ("
OF Lieutenant II. K. Smith the
Superintendent says:
He is a graduate of the Naval
Academy of the class Of 1891, and is
peculiarly we'll adapted for the work
in tile department of applied mathe-
matics. Owing to some trouble with
his eyes it may be necessary for him
in the near future TO have ask to have
his case considered by a retiring
board, and his services could be Sc
cured at the Academy for many years
in the case the transfer was made. =

AT BAPTIST CHURCH.
"The Spiritual Use of The I'm
sgination" Was Morning
Discorse.

The subject of the sermon preached
yesterday morning by the Rev. Thos.
p. Holloway. pastor of College Ave
nue. Baptist Church was 1.-The Spirit
ual use of che Imagination. He said
in part:
Imagination is a function of the
mind too often wrongly underestimate
ed or totally disregarded The marvel
ously important part it takes in men
tai activity is not sufficiently under
stood. Imagination has overly much
been associated with that which is
utterly fanciful, grotesque and untrue,
and not properly emphasized as that
power which gives vividness TO
thought, definiteness to memory and
produces, for its possessor, the con-
structive force that makes for origi-
nality. 1t may be called the executive
officer on board the good ship reason.
It is TO the mind what feeling is to the
heart. Ii is eye TO the mind. 1t is
phonograph and kenetescope to the
memory. It is kaleidoscope continu-
ally presenting new combinations of
what the mind has seen, heard and
felt. 1t is continually presenting
novel arrangements of experiences
and intuitions, arrangements which
when brought to light, we call oTigi-
nality.
The part which Imagination has
played in the world no one can ade-
quately conjecture. If art, literature,
science, commerce and material civil
aztion in general are so indebted to
the assiduous use of the imagination.
how much greater blessing ought to
accrue to the race from its thorough
exercise in the field of religion. And
in using imagination in spiritual
affairs we are simply following in the
footsteps of the inspired writers of the
Bible and OF Jesus Christ Himself,
whose parallels are the worlds richest
treasures in constructive Imagination.
The sanctified imagination may be
used in strengthening faith and in
properly studying the Scriptures.
Most heresy grows out of failure TO
get the proper perspective of divine
truth, and proper perspective is de.
pendent OH the sane use of the imagi-
nation. The sanctified imagination
may be used manward by the Chris
tian enabling him to rightly sympa-
thize with his fellow man. 1t brings
to the soul striking views OF the sim
full worlds need of the salvation Of
the Son of God. F"

WALL BADLY DAMAGED.
Ice Causes Some Loss at St.
Anne's Cemetery.

Snow and ice have played havoc with
the old wall surrounding st. Anne's
cemetery. Hundreds of dollars Of
damage has been done and consider
able time and money will have to be
expended in order TO make the needed
repairs.
Particularly noticeable is the dam
age on the east side Of the cemetery
Just back of Feldmeyer's blacksmith
shop and carriage factory. The wall
was erected in two double courses and
time and weather have caused the two
parts to open to considerable extent
along the entire wall.
At the point spoken of the water en-
tered between the double courses of
brick and then froze. The result was
an fexpansion, which threw at least
eighty feet of the inside course into
the cemetery. Ir was torn entirely
away from the remaining portion OF
the wall and weakened the entire

on the part of Deputy Sheriff Grand

it is against the rules of public safety

Bill and Sam must have thought other

reckless disregard of what they might
