The results of an experiment, which

March and April, or that one year Of
an average low temperature is apt to
be followed by a year in which the
temperature will average higher.
Professor George Severance now has
the compilation of the weather data In
charge, and states the summaIization
of results as follows:
For the past fifteen years the ex-
pertinent station has kept close rec
ord of the temperature of each day of
the year, striking an average between
the temperature of morning and even
ing, which we call the mean tempera-
ture.' Having kept the record for
month the custom has then been TO get
the average mean for the entire
month. IL this way we have com
pared the temperatures of each period
of January and February with the ten-
peratuTe Of the following March and
April periods for the past fifteen year,,
and We find that the variations from
the rule for determining what the tenn
perature of spring will be by the tenn
perature of winter, of one year by aver
aging the temperature of another, are

weather of one year or month, OF sew

soreness and stifne...

Over exertion, too long continued
exercise. sitting in draft for example,
cooling off when overheated, indeed
anything that tends to check suddenly
the surface circulation, will produce
that wearied, sore feeling recognized as
soreness and stiffness. The best treat
ment and quickest is tc start up ci1cu-
lation by rubbing the core OF stiff part
with soft but reasonably rough sub
stance, like crash or Turkish towel,
and apply st. Jacobs Oil freely With
gentle friction.

TO RAISE PAY Of
NAVY OFFICERS
Senator Hale's Bill Expected to
Make Many important
Changes.

Washington, Jan. IA bill whose
passage it is expected will work many
important changes in the personnel Of
the navy and greatly increase it's eff
cheney was introduced today by Sen
ator Hale, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on naval affairs.
1t propose a settlement of the veX-
atious question as to whether members
of the staff corps shall have rank with
line officers, puts an end to the creation
OF q bureau by the secretary of the
navy and gives a substantial raise in
pay TO every commissioned officer and
enlisted man in the navy and marine
corps.
There is an important section relat-
ing to appointment of midshipmen to
line and staff corps, also a provision
calling for the retirement of officers at
a certain age. That part of the bill
which relates to the assignment of line
ran to officers of the various divisions
or the stan corps contains the provision
they shall in no instance assume the
command of any vessel.
The introduction by Senator Hale of
his naval personnel bill proved the oc-
citSlon for q somewhat general discus
sion OF h navy and recent occurrences
In connection with that branch of the
public service.
IN presenting the measure Senator
Hale entered upon a full explanation
or It's provisions together with reasons
Tor It's adoption, but was INTERRUPTED by
Ttllman and Foraker Who piled him
with questions as to whether facts con-
corning the Brownson incident would
be brought out during the considera-
ton of the personnel bill. Hale's re-
plies were rather indefinite, but he ad-
mltted the whole naval controversy
should be opened up in the naval COM
mittee's consideration of the bill. He
gave his belief that probably the COM
mlttee would go to a certain extent
into the subject.
Il realize he said, that we cannot
go through this session without pretty
general airing of these subjects. How
ever, the question Just how far the in
v~estigation shall proceed should be left
TO the committee.
The subject then was dropped.

BIG DECREASE IN
IMMIGRATION; MAY
:.,s.. CUT DOWN CLERKS

New York, Jan. 11.-Because of a
heavy falling off in immigration which
has reduced them to comparative idle
ness, government employees at Ellis ISL
and, through whose hands the incom-
ing aliens pass. fear a more or less
sweeping reduction in their ranks in
the lear future.
Commissioned of Immigration Watch
orn says there will undoubtedly be a re-
duction in the force if the decline in
immigration continues. There are about
500 government employees of various
classes at the immigration receiving
station at present, while instead of 5000
or more a day. which of late years this
force has been accustomed to hand
ling frequently, the average now is
something less than 500 immigrants
daily. There is no sign either of any
immediate stimulation of an incoming
stream.

"JACK THE HUGGER"
CAPTURED BY PASTOR

Bayonne, ~. j., Jan. 1.-THE police
captured a Tack the Hugger,' who is
charged with having embraced several
comedy young women as they came out
of the First Reformed church. one of
the most fashionable churches in the
city. The prisoner is Frederick w. Wet
Eek. % years old.
Wctick's only excuse FOR hugginG
pretty girls was that he had been drink
ing and did not know what he was do
ing.
His arrest was due to the prompt ac-
ton Of the pastor of the church., the
Rev. VIM. II. Boocock. who led in the
chase, which resulted in the hugger's
capture.
AS the congregation came out OF the
church the hugger stood to one side Of
the entrance, and every girl who struck
his fancy he Rugged. One of this vic
tins was Susan Maloy, a pretty dcmes-
tic employed at the home of the pastor,
which adiOins the church.
While the other girls were on the
verge of fainting, Miss Maloy ran into
the parsonage and notified the clergy
ma Of what had occurred.
