FOR PEARL HARBoR DRY DOCK
Revised Plans and Specifications
Prepared at NAVY Department

REVISED plans and specifications for the
new dry dock to be built at the eParl
HaIbor naval station, Hawaiian Islands.
have been prepared at the Navy Depart
ment This is made necessary by the fact
that Congress refused to appropriate suf-
hcient money to construct a dock LEO
feet long, as originally planned.
The revised plans shorten the dock to
6o0 feet. retaining all the features of
the original design except that where
formerly there were two docks in one. an
inner and an outer, with a caisson be-
tween them. there now will be only the
outer dock
1t will be built in such a way how
ever. that at any future time 1t may
be enlarged by.the addition of the inner
dock. AS now designed the dock will
take the largest battleship built or con-
templated. Bids for its construction will
be opened May 80.

YOGI BREATHING EXERCISES
Not to Be Fooled With by Uninfti
ated, It Is Declared.


The Yogi exercises OF breathing con-
sist of the closing OF one nostril with
one OF the fingers, then exhaling through
the open nostrii for certain number OF
counts. then in closing with another fin
ger the postril through which The
breath was exhaled then in stopping The
breath for certain number OF counts.
after that the finger is removed from
the nostril first held and through which
then the breath is, inhaled for Ger
tain number OF counts. then in closing
that nestril with the same finger and
holding the inhaled breath for a Ger
tain number of counts.
This makes one complete cycle. The
breather continues the operation This
outbreathing and stoppage, inbreathinc
and stoppage is continued uninterrupt-
edly for the time set. by the would he
Yogi. This exercise is usually practiced
In some posture of the body strikingly
different from the pastures usually as
sumed by western people in their medi-
tations.
1t appears. however, that the amateur
Yogi had better not mix up too impulsiye-
ly with his 'pranayama." as the above
described exercises are called The exer-
cises are said to be full of danger for
various psychical and physiological
truths.
When one holds ones breath, explains
the writer. he retains the carbonic acid
In his body, which is destructive 10 ami
NAL LIE and prevents the outflow az
other waste products. BY holding Ills
breath he also prevents his psychic breath
from swinging outward.
As the motion Of the psychic body f.
interfered with. 1t in turn interferes with
or suppresses the operations OF the mind
When one has Jexhaled, all the air from
the lungs and suspends the breath lie
prevents the inflow Of elements needed az
food for the tissues of the BODY and for
the use Of the psychic entity in the body.
and he prevents the inswinging OF tile
psychic breath.
All this has a tendency to suspend or
retard the action Of the mind. This is
the. object aimed. at by the Yogi. lie
seeks to suppress the functions OF the
mind in connection with the physical
body m order to control II. and to pass
Into :. psychic state usually called
spiritual.
The result Is that the heart action is
seriously disturbed and injured or those
who follow the practice persstently the
great majority will become psychicaliy
unbalanced and mentally deranged The
heart will fail to perform its functions
properly and consumption or paralysis
