oitv-s new 65-foct automatic aerial
truck Is a small fire department in
Itself. II is up-to-date in every par
ticular, strongly made and easily op-
Grated. and Fire Chief W. X. Stow
believes that there is no better piece
of apparatus of its kind in the entire
State
While simple, the operation OF the
truck is exceedingly interesting.
Upon the arrival of the apparatus at
a fire. the wheelsman. who guides the
rear wheels in turning corners,
touches spring and the seat which
be occupies directly over the two
rear wheels swings outward and then
he quickly takes off the wheel with
which he guides the truck and slips
Il onto hook provided for H.
In the meantime, the truck crew
mounts the turn table on which the
extension ladder swings and when
the whseIsman releases his seat and
removes the steering wheel. the lad
der men release a coil spring and the
ss-foot extension ladder shoots up

is made fast by 4 few turns OF the
crank attached to the springs and

Ends Long Fight
The new truck was purchased
about month ago from the La.
Frame Engine Company, OF Erie. n.
Y. The securing of this truck ended
a long fight on the part of Chief
Stow and others for an up-to-date
aerial truck. The old truck was worse
than useless. II was purchased from
Petersburg department thirteen years
ago and when bought it had long been
discarded by the department OF the
Cockade City. It was not an aerial
truck, being equipped with only four
bad ladders, the longest of which did
not measure forty feet
About eight years ago Chief stow
and the then Mayor Moss OF the city
started the figh; for the new truck.
The fight was renewed each year with
renewed vigor. the matter being
touched upon in every annual mes
sage of the mayor Of the city. Still
the council refused to buy the new
truck.

For work on exceptionally high

Besides the extension ladders there

These ladders are f-r use in working

Probably the most important equip

as a pail Down truck to which Is
attached snatch block and line. This
hook is used for tearing down the
walls of buildings. The hook is made
fast and horses are hftched to the
end OF the lines and the walls can
readily be pulled down. giving the
firemen access to the Interior OF the
building where the fire may De rag

be pursued only when the firemen
could reach the fire in no other way.
There also are pipe poles Of all kinds

PRAISES DIR. COOK FOR

pIorer's Early Environment

Words of praise for the achievement
Of DR. Frederick A Cook in. discovering
tbe north pole were spoken by Rev
H. H. Bevier, pastor of Memorial Pres
byterian church, yesterday morning IN
his sermon from the text, Thou, There
fore. Endure Hardness as Good SOL
dier of Jesus Christ"
Rev. Mr.. Bevier attributed Cook
success in reaching the. north pole TO
his discipline in endurance acquired IN
the davs of his youth in the severe en-
vironments of Sullivan county, New
york. that knit in his soul the virlie
qualities which stood him in good stead
in his final dash to the pole
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago. Rev.
DR.. Bevier was in the insurance and
real estate business in New York and
Travelled over Sullivan county in the
neighborhood of Calficoon, when Cook
was born.
" often Travelled over those bleak
hills when the thermometer was be-
tween 80 and 40 degrees below zero,
said Doctor Bevier. Il felt myself TO
be in the vicinity of the arctic zone. In
county the large part of which could
only grow buckwheat, and where pick
ing cobblestones was a large part or

velop a hardihood and persistency
equal to even the polar quest.

ton of the difficulty and of the slim
illus to manhood in general from the
persistent attempts of the select few
at vast undertakings and almost inn
possible achievements until they are

|WARSHIPS DEPART
UNDER THICK FOG
Spectacle OF Fleets Dash to
Golden Gate Marred by
Damp Weather
Stray Anchor Picked Up by the
Tennessee Breaks F0rma=
tion of Voyage Line

The departure yesterday afternoon
of the eight armored cruisers of the
Pacific fleet was marred as a spectacle
by the nists which the sun made he
roic but futile efforts to pierce. and
was rather spoiled as naval maneuver
by stray anchor and chain which at
tached itself to the flagship Tennessee's
mudhook and refused to be d1sentan-
gled. AS it was not deemed advisable
to tackle the open Pacific with lot OF
loose hardware dangling from the star
board bow, the Tennessee, off Alcatraz
island, surrendered the lead in the col
umn to the Washington and went away
by itself to straighten out the uneX-
pected problem that had come up with
the anchor at o'clock. The fleet was
well outside the heads before the Ten
nessee resumed it's place at the head
of the column.
All morning the men of the fleet were
busy disposing Of things that even in a
well regulated navy are put off until
the last moment. Lead colored launches
steamed in all directions, and the air
was filled with their shrill screeches
as they whizzed by each other. BY 1
o'clock everything was ready. Gang
ways were hoisted in and all the boats
were on board except one steam launch
from each ship. BY 2 o'clock all hands
on every ship were at their posts. and
when Rear Admiral Sebree gave the
signal to get under way the order was
obeyed promptly.
Then came the discovery that the
Tennessee was heaving up more than
Its own In spite of frantic efforts to
clear the tangle, the twisted cables
refused to unwind, and after leading
the fleet as far as Alcatraz the flag
ship left the line. The anchor picked
up was a big one, and the find was well
worth the trouble of disentangling it
from the cruisers cable, but it did spoil
the expected dash down the bay.
The fleet will make the run to Homo
lulu In record time, being under orders
to maintain an Is knot gait all the
way. The cruisers will remain at the
island port for three weeks and will
then proceed to Admiralty island, where
the vessels will take on coal in prepa-
ration for the battle practice which
will follow in Manila bay. This will
be followed by a season of social calls
at various ports in China and Japan,
and the ships are due TO return home
on February Is.
The ships that sailed were: Ten
nessee, Washington. California, South
Dakota. West Virginia. Maryland,
pennsylvania and Colorado.

Professor Stephens spoke on the good
that can be done through the inteill-
gent use of books. In the new library
he thought it would be possible to sup.
ply wise guidance even to readers OF
fiction. He continued:
The men who have made great
names in scientific and engineering
branches are largely self-educated.
Such education does not proceed from
loose reading. There should be in the
library mass of technical and pro-
fessional Literature for those who
haven't time and opportunity to at
tend college-means for guiding young
men who seek to educate themselves.
In my own line it is pathetic to see
the people who read the big histories,
out of date in material and method,
and who accept their contents as gos-
pei truth.
"a library is above all the poor mans
