Saw the Fleet.

The first foreign vessels to arrive at a Gulf port and which passed the big battleship fleet of Admiral Thomas on it's voyage to the Far East, is the Nor wegian bark Solheim. which arrived here today from Puento Arenas. Chili. The vessel is in command of Captain Oscar Hansen, and the latter, in an in- terview this morning, says that he was in the Straits of Magellan when the warships made their appearance, the torpedo boat hotilla first arriving, and a few days later the battleships. The captain says that the array of fighting vessels was the most magnificent and formidable he ever witnessed although he has been to almost every country in the world, and that the manner in which they were handled in passing through the Straits was a credit to the seamanship of the United States Navy
 Ills vessel, at the time, was moored at coaling depot discharging a cargo of coal from Cardiff, and he consequent ly had a good view of the fighters. Leaving there few days later he made for Pensacola. and bears the dis tinction of coming from the Straits to Pensacola within ffty-three days, a record never before equaIled by a saiI- ing craft.

 The Lancet hands on to the British suffragists terrible warning from the Finnish doctor, Granholm, who as- serts tn at there Is a certain connection between the votes-for-women- move ment and the frequency of mental dis ease.
 Dr. Granholm has been carefully i'm vestigating in Finland, where women. both vote for members of pariiannent come to the conclusion that domestic life has become unfavorable for the both sexes, the result being a marked increase in mental alteration
 In the municipality of vurmes. wh ere. the doctor asserts, he is able to ex- clude any common causes of mental diseases, and where very emancipated views are held by the female popula- tion, and particularly by the female teachers. he speedily noticed that the number of lunatics increased from twenty-nine in 1900 to sixty.seven in 1908. The population had increased in that period from 1i.8ss to i2,137.

cessation of breath is death. Between
that first instructive act of respiration
and the last feeble, futtering gasp,
how little practical thought is given to
