or sailors since the arrival here OF
the three cruisers commanded by Rear
Admiral Enquist. Among those who
had narrow escapes from death is
Captain Nebolsin, commander of the
Aurora, on which vessel Enquist hoist
ed his flag after the Oleg had been
disabled. While Captain Nebolsn was
in the coming tower a shell exploded
there but did not injure him. Later he
left the bridge Of the Aurora in charge
of the first officer ana went to the
main deck in order to supervise the
work of subduing the flames, the Au-
rora being on fire, and caring for the
wounded and killed. On his way to
the main deck, another shell exploded
near Captain Nebolsin, and five frag-
ments hit him-three in the head, one
in the right leg and one on the right
ankle. The captain was stunned for
a few moments. He, however quickly
recovered and proceeded to look after
the wounded. He then returned to the
bridge and continued to command the
Aurora without receiving surgical aid.
He never gave up the command Of the
vessel during the fight or while she
was on her way here. Chief Surgeon
Kravtchonko praises the captain high

BADLY BATTERED.
There Are Forty Holes In the Hull os
the Batteship OreI.

TOXIC June S.-A correspondent Of
the Associated Press has been per-
mitted to inspect the Russian battle
ship Orel, now lying at Maizuru. The
Orel received terrible battering.
Her hull shows forty gaping holes
pierced by large shells and many
smaller where she had been hit, while
the superstructure on her upper works
and upper decks riddled by shells, steel
fragments and splinters. The star
board forward twelve-inch gun was
either by a shell or by an explosion.
A fragment of the gun went over the
bridge. smashing the rail, and after
carrying away the breech Of the
twelve FOUNDER, buried itself in the
signal locker.
From the main deck upward the
condition of the vessel is terrible to
behold. Steel partitions are smashed,
the gangway broken and stanchions
wrecked Gear Of various kinds COW
cred the decks and the state Of the
alley ways shows that the ship was
afire several times. The flames in
creased the scene of desoation. The
miami armor belt is intact. The tur
ret armor generally withstood the bat
tering from the shells, although two
of the six-inch turrets are rendered
unserviceable by shots which struck
close to their base. Several smaller
guns were dismounted and SMASHED.
A grewsome sight was the bulkhead
despatched with blood, fragments Of
flesh and hair. The Orel is sound
structurally, although 1t will be neces-
sary to practically reconstruct her
from the water line up. The condition
Of the ship shows that the crew under
went a terrible ordeal before they sur
rendered.

WE SHOULD READ POETRY.
The Need to Keep Alive Faith In
 Spiritual Literature.

Analysis is encouraged by our ciyili zation more than the sense of beauty It is a scientific age, and we are all in danger to some extent of that atrophy of the ina gination of which Darwin is the most famous case. Poetry is in literature that branch which appeals primarily to the imagination and helps to keep it alive. as exercise helps to preserve the body. AS we do not pro- duce much poetry or other imaginative art we are thrown back upon the past, and this increases the necessity of edu- cation in poetry, for forms of expres- sion which are not contemporary are seldom entirely appreciated without training. Often people of the best nat ural taste are less open to certain beau ties than others less naturally appre- ciative, but with more mental and aes- thetic exercise in youth. The most sincere minds reject most emphatical. ly any pretense of caring for what they really do not enjoy. Thus among the truest natures of our acquaintance one sees nothing in early painting. another in poetry and third in the higher mu- sic, all from lack rather of training than of eye, ear or fancy. In the cir cumstances of our day it is more i'm portant in childs education that be should be prepared to like and under. stand Spenser and Wordsworth, Mil ton, Burns and Shelley than that be should early acquire a realistic mode of thinking or start in scientific in- formation. Exact knowledge and logic in this age will take care of them selves, but it requires more care to keep alive that

 Whatever truth may be. 1t Is larger than the little naturalistic thoughts and observations that sometimes claim the title. There is more of it in a Beethoven symphony than in one of Herbert's Spencer's essays. and more h Macbeth's soliloquies than in four teen weeks in natural science.-Col. Hers Weekly.
