hat is always regarded as a f1t subject
for jokes? Anything that happens to
his shoes is serious matter, and, al
though his vest, especially If it Is out
Of the usual in design or color, is
sometimes made the subject Of pointed
remarks, disaster to any other garment
is regarded as matter Of sympathy.

Position At Sea.
The average TRANSATLANTIC traveller
displays very little interest in the nav
igation Of the vessel beyond watching
the ships officers, sextant in hand,
making observations, says writer in
Travel Magazine. Very few have any
idea of the process by means of which
the modern navigator is enabled to ac-
curately r.uce the ships position at
stated time on the chart. Out of
sight of land ships geographical po-
sition is determined either by keeping
careful record Of the course steered
and the distance run, known as dead
reckoning, or BY the combined use Of
chronometer and sextant-that Is, by
observation of the heavenly bodies.
The operation Of finding the latitude
and longitude of observation can be
performed In a number Of ways, Of
which the simplest and most conven.
lent is by measuring the altitude Of the
sun above the horizon at noon. as Is
indicated on the vernier Of the sextant
and spoken Of at sea as shooting the
SUM-" An arithmetical computation by
the aid Of logarithms is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
the ship is north or south of the equa-
tor, or, in other words. the latitude.
Finding the longitude, however, is
somewhat longer process. An observa-
ton is made either in the forenoon or
afternoon, the chronometer time Of the
horizon contact of the suns image be-
ing noted. A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be, and, as
the thermometer carried aboard shows
the exact time at Greenwich, the prime
meridian of longitude, the difference
between the two expresses in hours
and minutes easily convertible into
degrees and niles the distance east
or west of Greenwich.
Having thus. roughly speaking, found
the latitude and longitude, a dot placed
on the chart at the exact point where
the lines of latitude and longitude
cross denotes the ships position.

also quite probable that the heating appa-
ratus will be removed from a number of
the grade buildings and placed in strue-
lures to be erected in the rear. This will
remove nearly all danger from fires and
add considerable space. In fact, in some
cases, it is said, the number of rooms
could be doubled by such a plan.
The grade schools at present are filled
and the high school has a greater ENROLL
ment than the building will accommodate.
A report submitted to the board last
night showed that there will be in the
building fund this year about SO. 800
which. 1t is declared, is insufficient for
new building. President Joyce advanced
the idea of using the Madison building for
a high school and received the support or
the other members of the board His
plan is to remodel the building and con-
struct an annex. The Madison building
is more commodious and presents a bet
ter appearance than the high school. 1t
is held that the change could be made at
a nominal expense and that this would
accommodate the pupils until arrange
ments can be made for building an en-
tirely new school The entire matter was
referred TO the building committee, which
will report at the next meeting Of the
board.
Superintendent Allison reported that
number of children out of school on ac-
count of contagious diseases is 326. This
is decrease of thirteen from the pre-
vious week and conditions are reported to
be improving The state auditor advised
the board that the apportionment of the
state school fund this year would be
about $4,000 more than a year ago.

PRESTI WAS TOO CLEVER.
Was Able to Play on Or. sibIas' Sym
pathy Just Once.

Ernest Presti an Italian. was arrested
in Salt Lake and brought up by an Og-
den officer yesterday on a charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Presi while I'm Ogden a short time ago
became acquainted with a local Italian
xhysician named DIR. Frank Siblas He
Aarned that the doctor had a lame
nsfohew somewhere in the west for whom
he had great regard and affection. Early
M tine week he went TO Salt Lake and i'm
mediately began a clever game TO work
the doctor for cash.
Impersonating the nephew PTesti sent
a telegram to DR.. Siblas asking that he
send him $40 and signing Vignas name
The money was forwarded as directed
Apparently the ease with which he got
this amount tempted him to maze another
effort and a second telegram was sent
for a like amount. II was then that the
doctor conferred with the police and Pres
it's arrest followed.
The third telegram asking for another
SO was received yesterday morning After
landing at the city jail Presti talked with
the physician over the telephone and said
khat he was sorry Tor what he had done
fand begged for forgiveness Notwith-
standing his change of heart a complaint
charging him with the Offense was drawn
up and he will be called upoa to stand
trial.

TRAIN OF HOB0ES ARRIVES
Thirty-Five Deadhead Passengers
Come in With Conductor
Dad Gimin,

According to advices received here,
hordes of tramps are making their way
toward this city from the west. Reports
received at Southern Pacific headquar-
tiers yesterday were that between fifty
and sixty "hOboes" boarded a freight
train at Oreana, New, and refused to
leave, jeering the members of the train
crews when they attempted to force them
TO get off.
The train boarded by the weary Will
lies" at Oreana was a slow freight and
did not make fast enough time for them.
When Carlin was reached, they deserted
What train and got aboard a fast fruit
train upon which they rode until they got
10 Montello. Here another change was
made and they boarded another train for
Ogden.
The crews were pOwerless to cope with
the gang and did all that they could do
under the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS them to
ride without molestatiOn. Several OF the
gang appointed themselves as leaders,
and their Instructions were Obeyed all
along the line.
1t is reported that the entire road be-
tween Omaha and Oakland is lined with
tramps and that they are making life
miserable for the trainmen as well as the
people along the right of way. Railroad
officials fear that the action of those yes
terday will encourage other hoboes TO do
likewise.
About thirty-five' of the number came
into Ogden last night Dad Gimlin was
conductor of the train boarded at Mon
TeIlo. When commanded 10 get off they
ksefused point-blank. Gimlin informed
N9em that unless they left the train the
police would be waiting for them at this
end of the division. The reply was that
they did not care. as they needed some
thing 10 eat anyway. When the train
pulled into Ogden shortly after II o'clock
a squad of police under Captain Brown
and Sheriff Wilson captured twelve of the
gang. but the others escaped in the dark
ness. The twelve men were taken to po-
lice headquarters and booked as va

Supposed to BE Insane.

Richard A. Crooks, supposed to be suf-
fering from temporary insanity. was pick
ed up at the depot yesterday by Detective
Gordon of the Southern Pacific and Off
Ger Chambers. Crooks was on his way
from San Francisco to Denver and it is
supposed that the altitude affected his
mind. Just as the fellow was being taken
into the county jail he made break to
escape. Detective Gordon followed the
fellow and before they had gone very far
they were rolling over and over in the
streets Crooks was the first to get up
and he again took to his heels, but was
recaptured before going very far. 1t is
expected that he will be all right in Il few
days.

attorney by virtue of appointment by the

planned the situation to him and urged
him to make such application and agree
10 appear before the pardon board in per-

so He said that he had committed the
crime. and felt that he should pay the
null penalty.
<Whether or not Orchard will listen to
other appeals that will be made TO him is
but Mr.. Wyman stated this
evening:
IF 10 one else will make the proper
application to the board, / will make it
myself. 1t will be my duty as Orchard s

Under no circumstances can the board
act upon the application at the Wednes-

filed and advertised four weeks before the
board can finally act The date for SEN
tence is May 10.

COACHES CRITICIZED.
Injured Football Players should be
Removed from the Field.

The past football season as Is tho
case each year. has been productive OF
more or less comment on the actions
OF the coaches of the various teams,
particularly those OF the more import
ant eleyens This year the criticism
has centered to large extent upon
the retention OF men in the line-up after
they have received some injury which.
while not Itself serious. has prevented
them from playing in as c.ear-headed
way MS they usually do. Several
cases OF this kind were TO be noted in
the larger games of the fall, notably in
the Yale Princeton game. when Bomar,
one &C the Yale halfbacks, was kept
In play after he was So dazed that
what lie did was more by instinct than
by any reasoning OF his own. An In
cident of the same Kind was to be
found in the Yale Harvard game, when
Capt Parker of the Crimson team
was not taken out and replaced by Il
fresh player until after his dnzed play
ing had lost the team much valuable
Erouud.
4 Yale graduate has come forward
with criticism on this feature Of The
fats play. which sums up the situation
partnently as follows;
why In the name of common sense
do coaches insist upon keeping a play
er in the game after an injury has
incapacitated him? Is IL because the
coaches long -pondered and finally inn
mutually fixed estimate of a players
ability blinds them to what Is pain
fully evident from the stands? EN-
cept In the case of a few phenomenal
stars ii is safe to say that no player
Is better than his understudy by mere
than small margin. and this margin
Is more than neutralized by an injury.
Greater freedom in substituting fresh
men would serve many desirable ends;
1t would lessen the possibility of per
manent injury diminish the amount of
martyrdom at present too frequently
exacted of players, save the tortured
