To-day is the birthday Of Commodore
William cambridge. who is generally re-
ferred to as the Father Of Naval In
struction in the United States. In this
age Of worldwide naval interest, when
nations are vying with each other for the
largest and the best equipped navy, it is
interesting 10 know something about the
man who developed that line OF instruc-
ton In America.
William cambridge was born IN Prince

furrOts Memory.
Eighteen years ago Robert Turner. OF
Boonton. y. j.. a sailor. ran across a
parrot that especially appealed 20 him.
This was while stopping over 40 one OF
the South American ports From that
day Robert and the parrot were ship
mates Of the most congenial kind, and
during a period Of eleven years the par
rot accompanied him on all his voyages.
Seven wears ago Turner's ship landed in
port. and while the unloading Of the
cargo was going on he became separated
from the parrot. During several LONG
weeks Of search in the various bird
stores Of New York City he prayed that
he might recover the lost friend of his
travels, bur the ransackin= was unavsil-
ing. OF course. Jim. the parrot. was given
up for goner. and Turner again settled
down 10 his sea life. never expecting to
see Jim again on this side. Only recently.
! however, the sailor. who had been al his
/ home In BOOntOu. was walking past a
roadhouse. singing merrily at the TOP Of
his voice when the parrot who happen
ed 10 be within. recognized Turner voice
and screeched. There goes Bob, Hello

. his senses sufficiently he called back
