be SO great but her speed will be to
some extent cut down by the resistance
of the wind and sea-" it was found that
on the Lusitania the pitching and roll

movements" The rolling rarely reached
ten degrees each side of the normal, and
was accompanied by an appreciate
period of rest before recovery, and IN

on rare occasions, was gradual and old

depth to which her four propellers are
immersed there was no racing even
when the ship was pitching heavily, and
the Lusitania maintained remarkably
even and high rate of speed against the
biggest seas that were encountered.
But in the first heavy gale, which was
encountered off the Irish coast, when
the ship was driven into enormous head
seas at a speed of over % knots, she
began to ship green seas, despite her so
feet freeboard forward. The seas swept
the fore deck, tore loose the derrick
booms and began to batter in the light
plating of tile forward breastworks. The
navigating bridge of the ship is 10 feet
above the water and yet at times the
seas struck the rails and stanchions so
heavily as to bend and split them in
several places. To remedy this the

A FLORIDA TORNADO

Mrs. j. A. Clement has sent The Journal a
copy of the Daytona Halifax Journal pub
lished at Daytona, Florida, containing an
account of a recent tornado or cyclone. The
edge of the blow was felt in Daytona and
DaytOna Beach to some extent, but at Holly
Hill it rivaled the famous cyclones of Kan
saS. The worst damage was done between
the EdmondsOn house and the pOstotfice, at
the home of Mrs. II. A. Carter. Forest trees
by the hundreds were either upr"oted or
had the tops entirely blown away, even the
palmetto trees were entirely snapped II
like pipe stems and the tops carried quite a
distance. A small house back of the Ed
mOndson lot belonging to Mr.. Peacock was
slid off its foundations toward the west
against the wind, and set fiat on the ground
with the family in it, Part of the upstairs
piazza of the EdmOndson house was torn
away, the chimney wrecked and corr er
of the roof torn off. Mr.. Heath'S chimney
was blown down, the front of the old Harris
store carried away, twelve windows broken
at Mr.. G. w. Harris and another chimney
blown off while at Mrs Carter's house the
wind entered the open west door OF the KIT
chen, tore two heavy pine doors inside the
house from the hinges, breaking the locks,
and ripped off the steps from the door
frames so that the doors were carried
through the dOorways the opposite way
from which they ordinarily swung. Two
lamps and some other glassware were smash
ed and a few light objects carried out to the
street, but no pictures disturbed nor any OF
the many articles on shelves and brackets
or tables blown down, strange to say,
though everything was sprinkled with sand
The chimney fell, making a large hole in
the roof, and chairs and flower stands and
pots blown from the piazza far into the yard,
the two large front gates carried in frag-
ments over the river bank, while in all the
yards fallen trees and tree tops, broken
fences and a miscellaneous assortment of
all kinds of debris made a mournful and Il
disseminating sight.

FROM THE PINE WOODS.
Hyomeis Aromatic Air is Guaranteed tt
Cure Catarrh or Cost Nothing


When using the Hyome treatment, the
air YOU breathe is like that on the noun
taips high above sea Level where the pine
woods fiji the air with aromatic healing that
gives health and strength to those suffering
from diseases of the respiratory organs.
Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, the healing
balsams of Hyomei reach the most remote
air cells of the throat, nose and lungs, de-
stroying all catarrhal germs and giving
quick relief and cure.
Hyomei has performed almost miraculous
cures of catarrh, often restoring health in
chronic cases that had given up all hope of
recovery Its best action is at the start of
the disease, when the breath is becoming
offensive and when discharges from the
nose, droppings in the throat and frequent
sneezing or spasmodic coughing begin to
make life burden. AT the first symptom
of catarrhal trouble, use Hyomei and see
how quickly you get relief and cure
The complete outfit costs but 81 90 and is
sold by A. "A. Howes & Co, under guaran-
tee to refund the money if it does not give
satisfaction. 2w6

The Shoe Situation.

Most BUYERS have left the Boston shoe
market without placing customary con-
tracts, manufacturers who have secured
even a fair amount of business being the
exceptions. Some producers Of heavy goods
will close shops, having failed to accept the
lower prices offered. JobberS have secured
concessions on some lower grades of foot
wear, but calf shoes and other expensive
goods are maintained by the strength of
that class of leather The irregularity Of
the market causes wholesalers to keep

Profitable Advertising says: "The
present is the best time for advertising
that has yet been known. The panic
was a readjustment, not an evidence of
poverty. The people did not material
" suffer; they are not now embar-
raised. They have the money with
which to pay for the goods they need. "
The Chicago Tribune, i'll an editorial
on Growth of Temperance, says;
..The influence of religious forces has
been great. The faithfulness of women
in their long fight has accomplished
much. Whatever the causes of the re-
markable movement may be, the facts
are plain. The temperance sentiment
in the United States is stronger than 1t
has ever been. If the present rate OF
progress is maintained, the States and
the local communities will solve the
