Washington, Dec 3.-Despite the
agitation to close some of the navy
yards along the Southern coast, Secre-
tary of the Navy Meyer will oppose
any such step for the present. This
much was made plain in his annual
report submitted to President Taft to-
day.
Secretary Meyer says that he is not
entirely convinced that the govern
ment can advantageously give up
sites, in which large expenditures have
been made, until after the opening of
the Panama canal, when it definitely
can be demonstrated which are likely
to be of the greatest value.

At the beginning of Mr.. Taftis ad-
ministratiOn, Mr.. Meyer suspended an
order signed by Mr.. NeWbeTry, with
the approval of the president, closing
certain Southern navy yards. The
closing of the yards was in the direc-
ton of immediate economy, but it de-
veloped that legislative action was
necessary to accomplish it; and fur

Hartman, the head of the great system of railways known by his sname, including the South ern and Union Pacific railways, and the lines building now along the West Coast of Mexico, might be looked for at Nogales at almost any time, en route to Mazatlan, on a trip of inspection of the new lines he is building in the neigh boring republic. A day or two ago his presence in Tucson was announced, and yesterday the in. foIn.a ion that the magnate was en route 10 the border was an nounced officially. About nine o'clock last night there pulled into the station at the international 'liae the most finely equipped train ever seen on the border, bearing Mir. Hartman and his party.

THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.

One of the Phoenix newspapers stated one day last week that in advocacy of his measure to segre- gate the offices of probate judge and school superintendent in small counties our own representative in the halls of legislation, Hon. Frank J. Duffy, stated that in Santa Cruz county, which "has the best schools in the territory, the people are willing to be taxed little heavier to enable the official supervising the schools to devote his entire time to their management"-or words to that effect. Frank had not read the interviews on the merits of the best public schools in the territory" that appeared in THE OASIS last week, or he would
 
 not have made an assertion so broad as he Is credited. In that connection THE OASIS editor takes occasion to state that in Guaymas a week ago an American lady of wealth and refinement. whose hus- band has extensive business inter- ests in Sonora, stated to the editor that she and her husband contem- plated purchase of the Griswold iproperly with a view of making Ithtir home in Nogales for the sake of the alleged educational facilities but that when she inquired into the effectiveness of the school they {. aba ndOned the idea.

passed into new, strange hands. The
old branch of salvage agents has lost
its prestige and the financiers have
even cornored the glory market. Will
liam Marion Reedy takes note of the
change and furnishes the readers OF
the st. Louis Mirror with the follow
ing little memorandum:
"Piermont Morgan has again saved
the country-this time from financial
disaster consequent upon the death of
Edward Henry Hartman. Harvard

Yale did for his saving the country
from the Heinze-Morse wreck. Out OF

former he gets mastery of the Union

What a lot of toadies are the Journal
lists who burn incense under the colos-
sal proboscis of Morgan.
1t was the noble, the generous
Roosevelt who gave Mr.. Morgan
Tennessee Coal and Iron for rescuing
a perishing country. or course, the
Tennessee property did not absolute
ly belong to the said noble and gen.
erous Roosevelt, but he told the brave
Morgan he could have it II he could
get away with 1t. That was enough
the gallant Morgan could have gotten
away with the whole state of Tenn

the president had told the attorney
general of the United States to look
the other way.
But what we are grieving about is
the disappearance OF the grand old
Romanesque breed of politicians who
mad the salvage contract prior to the
panic OF 1907. In that unhappy year,
Theodore Roosevelt, Joe Cannon,
uncle to Uncle Sam" and the adroit
Aldrich, were all elbowed off the
stage by the mighty Permont, and We
greatly fear that in future the man

GIFTED LuNATIcs.
One Faculty Strongly Developed In
Many Insane Persons.


One of the most peculiar features OF
insanity is that occasionally one fac
ulty, either sight. hearing, smell, taste
or touch, is extraordinarily acute. Ger
tain insane persons. insensible to every
other impression. have pronounced
F, taste for music and can repeat with
! accuracy an mir which they may have
heard but once. Others have a recoi-
lection of form and color and display
an aptitude for drawing, while more
frequently one may meet with an In.
| mate of an asylum who has special
memory for figures. dates, proper
names and words generally.
There IS case OH record, for in
stance. Of an imbecilc who at twenty
seven had such an extraordinary mem
DRY that lie could solve the most diff
cult problems In arithmetic and alge-
bra and repeat word for word long
poems after once hearing them. In
another case a boy of fourteen. with a
defective brain, who had the greatest
difficulty in learning TO read, could, IL
allowed two or three minutes to run
over page printed in foreign Ian
guage or treating of questions of which
he was Ignorant, repeat the words from
memory as correctly as If the book had
been lying before him.
Very curious was the case of an
other man, devout churchgoer, who
could remember the day when every
person had been buried I'm the parish
for thlrty-nve years and could repeat,
with unvarying accuracy. the name
and age of the deceased and mourners
at the funeral. And yet he was COM
plete fool, and outside of the lire of
burials he had not one idea aud could
not give an intelligent reply to single
question or even be trusted to feed
himself. n'
At Earlswood asylum. England. they
have records of imbeclles who could
not only repeat accurately page or
more of any book which had been read
years before, even though 1t was
book they did not understand in tho
least, but also of an insane person who
could repeat backward what he had
just read.
Another curious case Is that of an
imbecile who, in the first place, never
failed TO go TO church and who on
reaching home could repeat the SER
mon word by word, saying. "Here the
minister coughed; here he stopped to
blow his nose" and so on.
In another case an imbccile knew
the Bible so perfectly that If you asked
him where such and such verse was
TO be found he could tell without hes
itation and repeat the chapter.
All these instances are well authenti.
Gated, and others equally amazing and
true could be added. And Just as there
Is one sense which Is sometimes won
derfully acute In persons of weak in
tellect. so in the case of blind people
the sense Of smell or hearing is often
very keen.
One of the most remarkable cases on
record was that of Julia Brace, a fe-
male deaf aud blind mute who could
distinguish brothers aud sisters by
smell and who recognized anybody she
had met before by the same MEANS
