Big Fleet in the Pacific.

Ever since the reapp arance of the
agitation in Japan over the treatment
of Japanese subjects residing in San
Francisco Washington has been fill
ed with rumors that this government
contemplated an immediate increase
in its naval strength in the Pacific
These rumors have now assumed def
mite shape Sixteen battleships of
the Atlantic feet, the main division
of the American naval fighting force,
are TO be sent to the Pacific. it is
declared. Naturally the inference is
drawn by those unacquainted with
the situation that fear of the trouble
with Japan is responsible for this re-
ported decision to move great ag-
gregation of floating forts to a posi-
ton of greater strategic importance
in any conflict with our far eastern
neighbors.
The Roosevelt administration has
spared no means to deprecate the re-
ports that there is danger of war,
between this country and Japan
From statements made by prominent
officials it is practically impossible
to escape the conviction that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his principal adj
visers are satisfied that there is no
prospect of conflict unless the jingo
press-American and Japanese-suc-
ceeds after long effort in producing
enough pin pricks to turn the present
cordial feeling into distrust and en-
nifty.
That no just ground for war exists
or can exist in any discrimination
against the japanese by an inhnitesi-
mally small proportion of the Amer
lean pople is apparently the honest
belief not only of those in authority
in Washington but among members
of the Japanese government as we'll

Julv Weather to Be Freakish.

Rev. Ira Hicks predicts that July
Fourth will be rainy and stormy and
that the month will contain variety
of weather calculated to suit all
classes. He says:
The first storm period, reactionary,
will center on the End and 3rd, with
violent july clouds and thunder gusts
generally from the End to the 4th
Cloudbursts need not surprise any
one. Watch your barometer-squint
at rising clouds-be ready.
A very warm wave will cross the
country from the 9th to the 11th, the
barometer will fall to low readings,
and clustering thunder storms will
reach active to violent culminations
on the touching the sth to- the 10th
Look for only scattering rains with
possible cloudbursts.
The third storm period reactionary
is central on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, the 18th, 14th and 18th. The
seismis and volcanic disturbances
will be most natural for period OF
several days, centering ON and about
the 10th, the date of solar eclipse
Low barometer, threatening condi-
tions ard probably heavy mid-sunn>
mer storms will culminate about the
18th. 14th and 18th Existing causes
may prolong storms and other dis
turbances on through the 10th ard
1th, into tile next storm period.
The fourth storm period, regular,
is central on the Goth, covering the
18th to the 23rd. We fear that the
rainfall at this and other central and
late July storm periods will be scat
tering and light Very black and
clustering storm clouds will almost
certainly appear at the elimination
of storm periods, and phenomenal
water spouts' may occur here and
there.
Within 4s hours of sunset ON the
gath, many storms and marked seis-
mic disturbances will be heard from
in many parts of the earth, so that a
maximum of such phenomena may be
noted The temperature will fall at
ter these storms.
The sixth storm period, regular
falls within a Mercury period. 1t is
central on the 31st and extends from
the goth two days into August.

Japan Has Strengthened

The Rev. Henry c. Mabie, general
secretary of the American Baptist
Mission union of San Francisco, who
arrived an the Korean Friday, has
been on four months tour of the
orient, inspecting the mission sta
tions He gave careful study to the
Japanese question and says that
Americans should be warned against
Understanding Japan's strength.
They have a standing army Of a
million men," he said, "and their drill
work is not the performance of per-
functory evolutions. They go at it in
the greatest earnestness. Every day
of their lives they are put through
the jiu jitsu exercises and the result
is a stocky, straight set-up soldier,
as square cut and trim as the English
Tommy Atkins" ever was.
"No nation can afford to hold the
Japanese efficiency or valor in con-
tempt. Japan is prepared, if need be
to defend her honor and dignity be-
fore the world if crisis comes
There is an increasing feeling be-
meath the surface Of uneasness and
sensitiveness in regard to our immi-
grafton policy and the treatment of
her subjects. 1t is not so manifest
as reports would endeavor to con-
vey; the thoughtful, substantial men
are disposed to be patient and to
trust to the good intentions of our
country and our officials for an ami
cable adjustment of the difficulties
with regard to their rights. But
there is less of the bumptious and
threatening in their attitude than one
would expect. 1t was really surpris-
ing that they have not shown more
challenging disposition after their
success in arms in the Russian war"

About Sunstroke.

Two deaths from sunstroke occur
red in Indiana in the week beginning
June 16. If people would exercise
intelligent care, sunstroke would be
avoided We should be careful not
to expose ourselves unnecessarily in
hot weather. When it is very hot we
should be extra careful. Being careful
is 10 keep cool as to- temper, pre-
serve placid mind, don't worry, and
the body will not get SO hot. Avoid
all alcoholic drinks Beer is not so
refreshing as cool water, and re-
action follows beer drinking We
should remember it is natural law,
that-what goes up must come down.
and if we push up our nerves and
heart with beer or other alcoholic
drink, the nerves and heart must
come down again, and they frequent
ly come down with thump. We
should practice extreme temperance
in all things in hot weather. We
should eat less, avoid meats especial
ly and hold ourselves down to fruits,
cereals and milk Butter milk is an
extra wholesome summer drink.
Weak iced tea in moderation is not
bad summer drink. Strong hot
coffee and tea are bad. They contain
a drug (caffein) which is heart and
nerve stimulants, and it is with this
drug as with alcohol-heart and
nerves pushed up by it, are sure to
come down again. Hot weather Is
sufficiently stimulating of itself, there
fore avoid stimulants when it is hot.
He is foolish man who eats slim
ulating food and drinks alcoholic liqu-
ors in hot weather Autopsies show
that nearly all persons dead of sum
stroke have full stomachs.
Workmen exposed to the direct
rays of the sun should have their
heads we'll protected and should wear
WOODEN next to the skim A very good
precaution is a pad of cotton bat
ting or flannel sewed along the back
of the undergarment so as to protect
the spine. Walk on the shady side
of the street; avoid over exertion;
let the air circulate freely about the
head, either by frequent removal OF
the hat, OR by perforating the hat.
Heat exhaustion is mild sunstroke.
In case either happens, call reliable
physician. Don't trust to yoar own
treatment unless physician cannot
be secured But, while waiting for .
physician, remove the patient into the
shade, dash the head and chest with
cold water, give two or three drops
of aqua ammonia in cool water, and

The Nations Standing Timber.

The annual consumption of timber
in the United States is enormous.
The present supply of standing tim
Der will not long meet the demaud.
unless scientific methods of forestry
are introduced When an attempt is
made to charge these generalities in
to something specific, to state, for in
stance, how much timber of suitable
size for cutting there is in the United
States, there are no statistics avail
able. All estimates are guesses and
the highest differ from the lowest by
more than eleven hundred billion
board feet. The only thing certain is
that the supply is growing smaller
and the price is growing higher.
This situation is the stranger be-
cause all the machinery is at hand for
making an accurate estimate in such
a way that the possible error will not
exceed 10 per cent instead of so per
cent as now. The United States gov
ernment has in its employ men who
are capable of experimenting this
work They are found in the census
bureau and in the forest service. To
assign them to this important duty,
all that is needed is for congress to
pass a resolution calling upon the
proper departments for information
and to authorize the necessary ex
pense.
Effective legislation must proceed
from known facts. Legislation alone
can save or replace the American for
|ests. If taking an accurate census of
the standing timber of the United
States results in such a realization oi
the need of legislative action tha.
congress takes the necessary steps to
protect the many important CONNER
cial interests which are dependen'
upon the use of wood, it will DC
worth all that it costs. While al
rangements are being made for the
census of 1910, the census bureau and
the forestry service can devise a plan
for working in harmony at a miri
mum of expense and maximum of
efficiency. The Sixtieth congress in
its first session ought TO authorize
and order the preliminary work for
the first accurate census of the ma
tion's standing timber. The United
States is behind all other civilized
nations in this ignorance of its own
resources. 1t ought to take account
of stock and find where it stands.
The danger of exhaustion NAV ',r
nearer than believed, NJ the alarm
may be groundles, but it is reckless
to proceed without knowledge of the
situation.
