MAN OVERHEARD.
Fell From Boat and Could Not
Be Found, Though the Crew
Searched for Him.

Half way between oahu and Kauai,
shortly before midnight on Saturday,
Oshima, a member of the crew of the
gasoline fishing sampan Waka Bisu
Maru. No. 202, was lost overheard.
Although the sampan circled about the
vicinity all night, no trace of the miss
ing man was found, and the sampan
returned to Honolulu last night.
The sampan left Honolulu on Satur.
day morning, with her compartments
packed with ice and supplies aboard
for long outing. The boat sped along
easily until late in the evening, when
heavy swells were encountered. 0shima
was walking from the after end of the
boat toward the engine-house, when the
sampan veered, and, losing his balance,
he fell overheard. The other members
of the crew brought the boat about
quickly, but they heard no sound from
him. They yelled and called his name,
but got no response.
The captain of the sampan called at
the police station yesterday and made
a report of the tragedy.

MORE DRY
DOCKS URGED
Secretary Of Navy Would Have
More Than One in Atlantic
and Not Abandon Yards.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, December 3.-De-
spite the agitation to close some of the
navy yards along the southern coast,
Secretary of the Navy Meyer will OPP
pose any such step for the present.
This much was made plain in his an
nual report submitted to President Taft
today.
Secretary Meyer says that he is not
entirely convinced that the government
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 is not unknown in the history
of the government" says the secre.
tary, "that national reservations have
been given up and later were bought
back at increased cost" Again in dis
cussing the same subject, he says that
the completion of the Panama Canal,
the development of trade in the Gulf
of Mexico and the whole Caribbean
region, and the probable increase of
the naval establishment to meet our
national responsibilities in that area
will probably call for supply stations,
in part for the heavy feet but prin-
cipally for the torpedo craft and sub
marines and the smaller vessels needed
there"
He urges the "extreme desirability'
of developing the naval station partly
established at Guantanamo, Cuba.

BRUSSELS, December 13.-KiuE
Leopold, who has been sick but whe
was thought to be improving, has had
n serious relapse and grave fears are
entertained that no will not be ahls
to recover. His condition is regarded
rs so HOPELESS that the sacraments fec

King Leopold is about seventy-feur
years old and has been ruling Belgium
for forty-four years. He assembled tap
throne about the time of tho close ~

ments of other countries of Europe,
Leopold III. is the second king thae
Belgium ever had, succeeding hin
father, Leopold l., who reigned fr0sn
1881 to 1865.
Leopold H., aside from his income
of 100000 a year allowed by the Bel
GUM government, is one of the riches3
monarchs in Europe. Though he livea
simply, it is said that he has squander-
ed immense amounts in speculation, and
has also made large amounts. His ooa-
nection with the Congo outrages, for
which the responsibility has been laid
on his shoulders as the actual head
of the Belgian Congo, has placed him
of late years in a very poor light IN
the eyes of the world.
Leopold has no son to succeed him,
his three children all being daughters.

dock an injured battleship drawing 4
or feet more than its ordinary draft.
Ship construction at the navy yards
of the United States is opposed as
principle by the secretary. Only oc'
casionally, as a check on costs of par
ticular types. does he believe that the
United States should build ship. Ship.
building concerns should be encouraged,
in his opinion, so that the government
can profit by their experience and re.
sources, and also because ordinarily
the work is done more economically by
them than at navy yards.
Furthermore, Secretary Meyer is op-
posed to congress restricting the con-
struction by one shipbuilding company
to one battleship, or to requiring one
battleship to be constructed at a navy
yard, or on one coast or the other.
Estimates for the coming fiscal year
were included in the report. They are
$10,011 900 less than the total amount
appropriated for the present fiscal year.
The senior officers of the navy are
too old, according to the secretary. He
announces in his report that he soon
will send to the President some recon-
mendation as to new legislation for
remeuylng Uhls ueIecu' ne sehlor
officers of our navy are too old for the
responsibilities and arduous duty re-
quired in the modern battleship,' says
+; the secretary. "They are much older
than similar officers in the other prin-
cipal navies of the world. Not only is
this the case, but flag officers arrive at
the grade of rear-admiral so late tha-
even those of longest possible service
do not get adequate training as sub.
ordinate flag officers before assuming
the chief command. "

Embert NJ. Brown, real estate opera
tor of Santa Cruz, who has wife and
child at his home in that city, has been
arrested on southbound train in com
pany with pretty seventeen.year-old

there and entered Browns office as a
stenographer. On pretense of visiting
friends, she went to San Jose some time
ago, and was followed by Brown, who
was seen in her company in the Gar
den City. The girls father heard of
their departure for the south and had
them intercepted at this city. Brown
was taken back to Santa Cruz in hand
cuffs and the girl went north in the
custody of her father.

result in decision as TO the course

The camel has been called the "shir of the desert" Like the ship, he may be capsized, and in that predicamen. he is helpless. His manner of lying down to rest is to fold hts legs be. meath his body. If he happens to roll upon his side he cannot recover his feet again. This inflrmity of the ami nal is mentioned by the Count de Les dain in. the account of his journey From Pekin to Sikkim:"
 ''The caravan was made up of cam- els. I had brought some new ones and had no idea of taking any other animals into a country largely. con- posed of loose sand.

Economy of Costly Foods.

The economy of expensive foods is explained by the fact that digestion, at least in man, is dependent upon
 iavors, without which it is so defec- tive that we do not obtain the good of the food we swallow. As far as ex- periments so, they substantiate these assertions, for the sight and smell of pleasing food start the flow of di- gestive fluids, while disagreeable- odors and sight stop it. Delicatessen, then, would seem to be staples, for they are necessary. The talk of being able to subsist on few cents a day is simply nonsense and leads to deterioration of health. What seems to be extrava- gance in food purchases may be wholesome instinct The high cost of living is partly due to the cost of the favors we need We commend these ideas to our. worthy dietetic econo- mists. Laymen may not be so foolish as the physiologists themselves. - American Medicine.

A Novel Method of Advertising.

A storekeeper in a small out of the way town many years ago hit upon a novel method of advertising his store. He conceived the idea of buying up the stock of stamps at the postoffice across the way. The postmaster ob- jected to be. denuded of all his stock, but his mysterious customer demanded the sta mps over the counter. sheet aft CT sheet. as an ordinary member of the public until he had bought every stamp to: be had Then he took the stock over to his store across the road and plastered his windows with mo- tices that postage stamps were only to be had at his store, and to his mor- tification the postmaster had to send customers across to the store over the way for any stamps they needed until some days after he once more got in stock from headquarters.
