DIVING AND SWIMMING
TEST FOR REAR-ADMIRAIS
WASHINGTON.-Great consterna

WASHINGTON.-Great consterna-
" ton is felt in the navy over the an
nouncement said to have been made
by Assistant Secretary Newberry that
rear admirals must shortly undergo
test to show whether they can swim
or not. In the army test of whether
colonies can ride horseback was re-
Gently made. Mr.. Newberry's declar-
alton in favor of a swimming test for
admlrals, however, is considered far
worse, although the average colonel
weighs several times more than his
horse
The assistant secretary's plan is to
have rear admirals dive from shore
shore and swim to their ships. Many
admlrals who have not moved a wheel
for years except from the navy depart
ment to the club are indignant. It is
felt that what the assistant secretary
IS really proposing is a general hari-
Kari among the most eminent naval
heroes of the age
Nevertheless, the rear admirals &C.

fact against which there is no use

RACE WAR WITH COURT
WRITS AS THE WEAPONS

THE injunction has been invoked in
L local race war. The white citi-
zens of a suburb of this city propose
to restrain negro from occupying a
house he purchased
The suburb known as Bloomingdale
lying between the northern boundary
of the old city and soldiers home, was
several years ago subdivided, and long
rows of houses erected for SALE The
purchasers were given a deed which
stipulated in one of it's clauses that
at no time should the property be
sold to negro. One of the original
purchasers sold his residence to a
man who placed a second trust mort
gage on it.
The holder of this second mortgage
to protect himself, placed the house
on sale with a real estate firm, which
disposed of it to negro. When the
sale became known to the household

alton of Labor is reported to have
joined.
There are few residence blocks in
Washington upon which negroes do
not occupy one or more houses, except
in the ultra aristocratic section, and
even in that section some negroes
dwell. Race prejudice is constantly
growing more intense here and in the
new subdivisions in the suburbs the
whites have attempted to protect
themselves against negro invasion by
restrictions placed in the original
deeds similar to that carried by the
Bloomingdale conveyances. The negro
owner will assert his right to hold
the property under the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments and merry
race war is promised.

widespread movement among bird

That a few dollars may secure to

patrolled by Audubon wardens, is an
idea that is appealing to friends of

Bees Race Pigeons.

It is not generally known that bees
are swifter in fight than pigeons
that is, for short distances. Some
years ago pigeon fancier of Hamme,
Westphalia, laid a wager that dozen
bees liberated three miles from their
hives would reach home in less time
than dozen pigeons. The competitors
were given wing at Rybern, a village
nearly league from Hamme, and the
first bee reached the hive a quarter
Of minute in advance of the first
pigeon. Three other bees reached the
goal before the second pigeon. The
bees were also slightly handicapped,
having been rolled in flour before
starting for the purpose of identifica-
tion.-The Reader.

to be established on Angel island, and
the selection of an advantageous site
! on the Atlantic coast is now under
consideration. In case she dirigible
balloon of the trype which the authori-
ties are now considering IS contracted
for, it will, when completed, be sent
to East Omaha and there tested. The
officers of the signal corps are unwill-
ing to give details regarding it's main
characteristics until 1t is completed;
they are guarding them with all 2he
care that the navy attempts to guard
its battle-ship designs. But it is not
unlikely that, before congress appro-
PIRATES very much money for balloons
its members will call for persons and
papers" and then the cat will be out
of the bag.
There is no disposition to 20 too
rapidly in the purchase of dirigible
balloon, for the rrason that Capt
Chandler, who is to become one of the
chief instructors Ia military aero
nautics, is just now taking his first
lessons in actual 'ballooning."
Army officers who are interested in
the development of the balloon as an
agent of warfare have encountered an
obstacle in the disposition of the pub
lie to question the practicability of
military aeronautics- This is prob
ably because the American really
knows very little about balloons.
When it is remembered that as long
ago as the siege of Paris the inhabi-
tants of the French capital were en-
abled by means of balloons to COM
municate with the forces outside the
walls, doubts about the utility of the
balloon in time of war should vanish.
More than 70 balloons during that
memorable siege carried dozens of
passengers, tons of mail and hundreds
of carrier pigeons from the city to
the troops outside, and in due time
were returned to the besieged people
with valuable information about the
movements of the enemy.
In recent communication to the
war department from Europe, where
he has been gathering valuable infor-
nation on the subject of military aero
nautics as practiced in continental
armies, Lieut.. Lahm sounds note Of
warning: I'VE should not fail to ap-
preciate the necessity of preparedness
for war above the earth as well as on
the earth, and when our next war
comes we should not be found want
ing in this particular branch of mill.
tary science"
Germany is at the present time
conducting very elaborate expert
ments in the use of balloons for mill
tary purposes. and this branch of mill
tary science has received attention in
the annual manoeuvers of the French
army for the last six years.
In the course to be given at Fort
Omaha it is proposed to instruct the
balloon division not only in the art
of making ascensions, but in the
quickest methods of initiating, of un-
packing the balloon from the wagon,
and of towing it, once it is inflated.
until the OppOrtune time for making
the ascension arrives. In short, it will
be the effort of Capt Chandler, Of
Lieut.. Lahm, and our other military
aeronauts, to develop a regular form
of balloon drills, and in time a drill
book giving the various manoeuvers
OF imitation, how to prepare for ascen.
sions, how to handle the delicate ap-
purtenances that make up the COM
plete balloon outfit.
