Word was received .rcm Washington
today that the ships Will be required

The eight ships of the Pacific fleet
the cruisers Tennessee, Washington,

will rendezvous in Seattle on August
Is, and will remain there ten days in
order to give the people of Seattle and
visitors to the exposition their last op-
portunity to see the ships in these wa
ters during the fair While in Seattle
harbor the ships will standardize their
propellers by steaming eighteen times
over a government course. Standard
ization of prOpellers enables the officers
of each ship to tell the number of rev.
olutions per minute required to produce
a given speed. This standardization
enables the ships to steam in forma-
ton for days at time at given speed
without a change in their relative po-
sitions.

WILLIAM c. BROWN

Tales of peasants who have become
kings are frequent in history, and
some of them may be true. To rise
from a section hand on a western road
to the presidency of the greatest rail-
way system in the world is more Won
derful, and yet that is what was ac-
complished by William Z Brown, who
was born in Herkimer county, N. Y,
Sc years ago today.
Many a king is engaged in small
business compared with this captain

of a standing army of 10000 men.

ments listening to the click-c click of a

Tollesbury is a veritable home of
seadogs. Captain Barbrook's father is
one of the Oldest of them, and now
surely the proudest. His son has loved
the sea since his boyhOod; took to it
like the smallest duckling to the neigh
boring pond, and has lived on it and
near it ever since. He is we'll known
among yachting men, and such author
tiles as Sir Thomas Upton, Sir James
Pender and Mr.. Fife were amongst
those who sang his praises to King
Alfonso.
And now he is on his mettle, and the
eyes of sOvereigns will be on him. Eu-
couraged thereto by the influsnce of
his English wife, Alfonso XIII is TAX
