boat. They predict that its chief
value will be in war time, when 1t
may be employed for dropping explo-
sives upon an enemy or for recon
noitering purposes. In this connec-
ton may be added the fact that the
navy department has planned an ex-
tensive series of experiments with
dirigibles, the purpose being to dis
cover their availability for war usage.
Those who advocate the employment
of these machines point out the fact
that flying machines sailing over a
fleet are immune from any attack
save that of small arm fire, and that
they could attain height so great as
to be out of range from these smaller
weapons. There is no type of larger
gun now carried on shipboard that is
capable of such extreme elevation. or
course it would be easily possible to
construct a gun mount that would per
NIT of high angle, or even vertical
fire, but the question is asked how
would you be able to hit one of these
small targets sailing so high in air?
When firing at a floating target any
error of sighting can be detected by
the splash of the shell. But how is a
gun-pointer to tell where his shells
are going when he is firing upward
into the air?

Curious Indian Custom.

The following curious custom is re-

monograph on the sociology Of the
Omaha Indians:
I'm the spring when the grass comes
up there is a council or tribal assem-
bly, held to which a feast is given by
the head of the Hanga geno After
they decide that planting time has
come and at command of the Hanga
man a crier is sent through the vii
lagos. He wears robe with hair out
side and cries as he goes. They do,
indeed, say that you will dig the
ground. Hallo!' He carries sacred
corn, which has been shelled and to
each household he gives two or three
grains, which are mixed with the seed
corn of the household"
After this it is lawful for the peo-
pie to dig up the soil and plant their
crops.

NO SHELF FOR HIN
PRESIDENT RooSEVELT'S HUNT
ING TRIP DOES NOT MEAN
FINAL RETIREMENT.
THIRD TERRIERS WILL NOT STAY DOWN
No Position in Which He May Serve
His Country Will Be Considered Be-
low His Dignity When He Returns
to Public Life-Hopes for Many
Years of Activity.

Washington, June 7.-President
Roosevelt's announcement Friday that
Immediately after his retirement from
the presidency he would go on a two
years hunting trip in British East
Africa with his son Kermit is in the
nature of a reply to a persistent
aggregation of third term agitators
who have been bombarding him with
kilograms demanding his acceptance
of the Republican nomination for the
presidency if it is rendered. These
dispatches may and may not have
been inspired from the same source,
but every indication points to the fact
that they were forwarded to the
White house as part of concerted
movement.
In the meanwhile, the third term
boomers who persist in believing that
the president doesn't know his own
mind have again become active and
are engaged in a desperate attempt to
arouse public sentiment in favor of a
third term on the eve of the Chicago
convention. Inc president cannot
continue to publicly repeat the state
ment that under no circumstances will
he be a candidate for the presidency,
although he tells callers as much
almost every day.
But his plans for the future are abb
soutely determined upon and he will
not be swerved from his programme.
That the president does not intend
permanently to retire from active par
ticipation in American politics is just
as well settled as that he will not
permit himself to be made candidate
for the presidency in 1908. He is too
young, too vigorous and there is too
much for him to do for him to place
himself on a political shelf.
