NEW IMPROVEMENTS

American battleships now IN
course of construction, or hereaf-
ter to be built, will be equipped
with the new type of spiral steel
military masts, like the one tested
recently on the monitor Florida.
These masts look like inverted,
elongated waste-paper baskets, or
the skeleton framework upon
which a water tank might be ele-
waited. They are made Of steel
tubes, and are given a twist about
like the spiral of a rifle barrel.
The Florida's mast was hit re-
peatedly by 6.inch, 8-inch and 12-
inch she'll, either of which would
probably have destroyed one of the
old type masts, but at the end of
the commandment the steel skele-
ton tower stood as stiff and SER
viceable as if it had never been
touched. On the new battleships
the towers will stand ninety feet
above the decks and 12O feet above
the water line. The new military
masts are not things of grace and
beauty, but battleships these days
are not built for their looks.

REAL FISH.

''Well, gentlemen" said the
man who was fortunate enough to
tell the best story, "the best days

of Southern California. There
were three of us IN the boat, each
of us had three lines out, and we
simply couldn't pull them in fast
enough"
"What kind of fish we're biting?"
asked the indulgent listener.
II don't know what the natives
call them," said the fisherman,
but they were big enough to be
lchthyosauruses. "
May be they we're whales,

member.

Most Common Places for Cancer

The papers made mention a short
time ago Of people cured of cancers
without knife or pain by DIR. and Mrs.
DIR. Chamley & Co Since that time
the cures of many prominent people
have been the occasion of great COM
ment.
They all said their cures were mar
velous beyond expression. many OF
them having been given up to die.
They first obtained the Doctors free
book, which proves that any lump in
woman's breast is cancer. II led to. as
they say. the greatest blessing OF their
lives.
All the leading newspapers and
medical journals OF the world have
noted their success and wonderful
cures They charge nothing until cured
and offer $1,000 if they fail. 1t Is said
they have cured more cancers than any
other doctors living. Strictly reliable:
no X-Ray or other swindle. They prob
ably have the best $50 page book
ever printed on cancers and tumors.

farther on in order to secure even a
comfortable seat on the ground. There
was an air of repressed expectancy
among the crowd that swept through
its rank and file and clearly showed
the intense interest and loyalty felt for
the stars and stripes and the navy for
ever.
High on the hilltops above Lime
point, the watchers were siIhouetted
against the sky, the passing and re-
passing of the crowds making waving
line that gave the appearance OF sway
ing treetops, bending and bowling be-
fore the freshening breeze that caught
the tresses OF fair women and sent their
fluffy skirts whipping about their an
kles.
BIG GUNS ROUSE WATCHERS
The firing of the first gun at noon
sent an electric shock through the
throngs, thousands Of whom were
seated upon the ground eating lunch
con. What had a moment before been
the scene of a vast picnic ground was
changed in the second into a place of
activity and expectancy.
They are coming, They are comingr'
The cry was swept along from mouth
to mouth, and when a moment later the
first vessel came into view, there was
the straining of hundreds of thousands
of eyes, all intent on the coming of the
fleet.
One by one the II inch guns doomed
out their welcome. great clouds of sill
very white smoke f1oated upward from
the fort in 1eecy puffs that swept
and trailed over the grounds, only to
become lost in the incoming fog that,
lifting again, framed the men of-war.
And welcome that was not of shouts
or of hurrahs, but of awe and of rev.
erence, the sort of welcome that
causes strong men to stand bareheaded
and women's eyes to glisten for God
welcome the fleet received from the
thousands who stood on the green hill
sides of Marin today watching the en-
trance of the great lighting vessels
into-San Francisco bay
WATCH SHIPS WITH AWE
Not until the last boat had passed
the forts was that same spirit of awe
and reverence laid aside among the
throngs that turned away with sober
faces. They had seen the coming Of the
feet and they were satisfied, although
the fog had changed to rain the wind
drove It In their faces and sent their
luncheons scattering over the grounds.
1t took hours for the crowd to as
semble; 1t required almost long for
it to disperse: everybody wanted to go
home at once; the roads were packed
jammed, wedged with the same mass OF
humanity that had passed Its way In
the earlier hours OF the morning; but
it did not matter how longit required
to go home or when they arrived there
for they had seen the coming of the
fleet.

CHEER BIG FLEET


Yerba Buena island had a silent sa-
Lutte to offer the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets as they combined and progressed
past Goat island, A company OF .ap-
pretice lads being trained for the navy
was aligned at parade rest to watch
the passing of the greatest fleet that
has ever been assembled.
There were $4,000 other people on the
island, but the mere handful of ap-
prentice boys saw the fleet from a diff
ferent point of view. The pride they
could feel was not merely the national
pride which enthused the thousands on
the hill; it was a personal feeling the
lads entertained, They knew that they
were part of the feet, even though
they had not yet completed their term
or service in the training school. Many
OF the boys realized that when the ships
continue on their journey around the
world they will be among the crew.

There was one place in San Fran

sailor boy could not spend any money.
and that was at the official naval pa
vilion in Market street. where five box
Ing bouts were held under the auspices
OF the Market street improvement as
ISOLATION for the benefit Of the fleet
fund. Unfortunately for the sailors,
few were allowed shore liberty yester-
day, with the result that only about a
hundred attended the bouts. Every
wearer of the uniform of blue was ad-
mitted free and. so sincere was the
committee having charge of the affair
in It's intention to entertain the sailors.
every jacky who passed the building
was invited to enter.
The evenings program began with a
spirited four round bout between
Young Gauley. a clever Oakland anna
teur, and Spider" Roach OF the Olym-
pic club, which resulted In draw.
Willie Hagan. the promising young
lightweight who carried of the honors

a good wallop and who has frequently
boxed with Stanley Ketchel. got the de-
cision over Joe Fitzgerald in the second
round Fitzgerald started in to force
matters in the initial round, and this
was just what his auburn haired op-
ponent liked. Several lusty swats were
exchanged and the gong sounded with
both fighting hard. In the second round
Fitzgerald caught Bergus a stiff punch
on the jaw and Bergus returned the
compliment and sent Fitzgerald to the
mat with similar punch. Fitzgerald
got to his feet before the fatal signal
was given. but he did not remain there
long Bergus staggered him with an
other body blow and cross counter on
the jaw ended the fight.
The best bout of the evening was be-
tween Terry Roach and Mutt" Holland.
Mutt" suffered a discolored optic in
the first round and he retaliated by
cutting Roach on the lip and cheek
These two boys did not need any urg-
ing from the spectators and during the
entire four rounds they were together
all the time. Roach had the better of
the argument. being in better condition
than his adversary.
Carl whitney. the colored fighter who
was so badly beaten py Dick Sullivan

put up the final bout. Galloway
weighed about 90 pounds more than

Streets at Night on Harm

San Francisco found herself again
last night. Up and down the length
of Market street. from the lighted
ferry building to the scintillating
dome of the city hall. the throngs
surged along the sidewalks and over
flowed into the street
Kearny was again mass of moving
humanity from Lottas fountain to the
avenue. Not even on New Years eve
did the thousands swarm in such
packed good nature as last night on
Fillmore, the overweighted cars push
ing slowly through the mass and the
autos following in their wake.

the former city returned. No such IL
Elimination. however, had ever looked
down upon half million people In the
old days as did last night, the lights
blazing from hundreds OF notable
structures which have risen on the
sites of vanished frame buildings.
Three great sections, too. which be-
fore the. fire lay outside the sweep of
traffic were filled last night with cur
rents of humanity. Van Ness branched
from Market, lighted to the hilltop,
absorbing thousands from the central
thoroughfares without thinning the
ranks perceptibly in the city's main
highway. Under the canopy of light
a. dozen blocks long. formed by the
arches of Fillmore street and the gar
lands of incandescents swung high
above the passing vehicles, merry
myriads of sightseers enlivened the
hours till long past midnight The
nome loving Mission during the earlier
hours burned more electric lights than
1T ever dreamed of before the fire. and
Mission street for ten blocks showed
herself worthy rival of her downtown
sisters.
The lights, the flags. the decorations
OF all the streets turned the promen-
ades into vistas of waving color and
enchantment, under which the throng
made its own entertainment, but in the
Mission. near the Valencia station. the
Gashlin band discoursed patriotic
