Next Weeks Balloon Race.

Next week there is to be a grand in
ternational balloon race in this country,
and as aerial navigation is occupying
a more and more prominent place in
both the scientific world and among
military men, there is much interest
IN the approaching contest. 1t will DC
the second such international race, the
first having been held in France last
year and there is probably even more
interest abroad in the race than in this
country. The start will be made from

it is expected that there will be II bal

than the attempt of the imperial
government to put an end to this habit
which has cursed the Chinese people
ever since the greed of Great Britain
made China a market for the products
of the poppy fields of India, half
century ago. China has enforced its
ban upon the trade, has closed the
opium dens of the cities. and by pro-
hibiting the practice on the part of the
government officials is bringing the
reform close home to those whose eX-

Regarding the objection that sailing

Journey, Mr.. WATSON proposes the plan
which has been proved practicable, if
not amply, by the dry dock Dewey. ny
steamers and schooncrs in the sulphur
trade between gulf and north Atlantic
ports. The big schooners could be
towed by the few American steamers
which are available, both loaded. and
thus be made to arrive at their
destination at practically as near Il
given time as could the steamers them
selves.
Then when once in Pacific ports and
able to return at leisure, the vessels
could easily obtain return freights of
sugar Spars or lumber. Steam vessels
may have superseded sail in the
American merchant marine. yet in this
instance it is evident that they are not
numerous enough to interfere; and Mr..
WATSON shows his loyalty and good
naval judgment by saying if the Navy
department could recognize The
feasibility of the plan he has proposed
lit would be a decided boon to owners

Plea for Athletics.
(POrtland AdVertiSer.)

DR.. Dudley "A. Sargent, of Harvard
university. takes issue with President
fliot's statement that physical train
ing is unnecessary. He has particular
reference to the quite general move
ment to economiZe by cutting out
'frils and fads," as they are called, III
doing which gymnastics have been
struck at as we'll as music and draw
ing. DR.. Sargent holds physical train
ing to be largely hygienic measure,
but has found that in many institutions
its chief function is to prepare students
for athletic contests, while in only a
few is it regarded as an essential part
of the educational system as a prep
aration for life. He argues that
teachers and school authorities must
be convinced of the absolute neces-
sity of physical training for the higher
education, and to hasten this teachers
should be required to give evidence VI
their physical efficiency before receiv-
ing appointment, while class advance
mentS hOuld be based on phySical as
we'll as mental examination. Unless
such requirements are introduced in
preparatory schools and colleges, he is
convinced that we shall have q continu-
ancc of the present conditions with one
class of pupils trained to excess
another class with vitality exhaust ed
through excessive mental application,
with Il third and largest class without
enough bodily training to enable them
to realize half their mental possibilities.
While many will not be ready to
subscribe to DR.. Sargents declaration
that the student weak in sports is weak
also in mental force, there is much in
the claim that the weakness in
athletics is the failure Of young men to
apply its teachings in way to be If
permanent value
