Capt. Harrison Gray Otis Colby Of
the Hanover street naval recruiting
station says the percentage of men en-
listing and re-enlisting in the navy is
on the increase.
The full strength of the naval SER
vice is over IS, 600 men. An act of con
gress some months ago increased the
number by 1000. There is at present
a small shortage from the maximum
number allowed.
There were 66lj applicants for en-
listment here last year, $50 of whom
were accepted, OF the many who We're
rejected a large majority failed to pre-
sent the birth certificate which the new
law makes essential. Among these
were various state wards and men from
distant parts Of the country.
OF those who were enlisted a large
number were mechanics who entered at
once into profitable positions in the
service. Half of the men who have
been i'm the service re-enlist at the end
OF their four years, the percentage of
re-enlistments showing an increasing
ratio.
While there is not surplus OF ap-
plicants, considering the large mum.
bers who are necessarily rejected. still
there is far from being lack of suf-
ficient men. The navy department does

After more than 100 years, the pre-
limnary work Of establishing a techni-
cal school where the working men and
women OF Boston may obtain an educa-
tion to equip them for the great fight
OF life has at last been completed,
when the board of managers of the
Franklin Fund formally approved the
building plans and specifications drawn
and made by X. Clipston Sturgis. 1t
is expected that within the month the
actual work Of construction will be
begun.
The fund for the great institution,
which will be To Boston what the Coop
er Union is TO New York, was created
by the will of Benjamin Franklin, who
left to the city OF Boston sum which
it was specified should be put to the
best use OF the public in general.
The cost Of the building has been set
at $350,00O, and it is estimated that
after equipping the great four-story
edfiCe, a fund sufficient TO bring $40
600 annual income for the running eX-
penses will be left.

That music has extraordinary pow

work of furnishing suitable music to

For 10 years DR.. Dixwel has con-
Quoted his unique concerts, and the
great success OF the work has justified
both the time and money expended.
Last year nearly fifty concerts were

formances were superintended person

these pains may become, what terrible
things may happen, and how long 1t
