Swimming Precautions.


The casualty list of the "sane
Fourth" was increased by the drown.
ing in waves right around New York
Of four expert swimmers. In each
case the swimmer was alone or at
least far from help. Nine out of ten
of the tragedies to swimmers have this
same history. Much attention is now
paid to teaching the young to swim as
though that were all Of it. They must
also know where. when and how long
to swim.
Most open water is vastly more
treacherous than the quiet pool where
beginners are given first lessons. One
should never swim anywhere soon aft
er a meal or when overheated or very
tired. And one should swim
until tired except close to a landing.
Swimming is a deceiving pleasure. A
sense Of strength and mastery comes
to the man or woman who is success
fully breasting the tide and waves.
The sensations are too delightful to
give up. and the tendency is to overdo
strength. Then comes disaster. Learn
ing to swim doesn't rob the water Of
its danger. 1t simply gives man an
equal chance under fair conditions. To
risk more is folly.

Torpcdoing From the Sky.

f.L E|THL
The torpedo has really never made
good In war; Perhaps 1t is for this
very reason that theorists turn to the
aeroplane as a possible engine for
launching torpedoes with accuracy
and effect. The dream Of the poet
Tennyson. SO often referred to, related
to fairy navies graphing in the cen
trail blue" Graphing in that sense
mean laying a ship alongside Of an
enemy, boarding and fighting on deck,
as In the daysIof Paul Jones and Mel
Sol. But times have changed. and the
missile fred at long range is the nj
val ideal of today.
Perhaps the aeroplane will develop
the true mission of the torpedo. The
missile must strike a vital part Of the
ship, and that is a difficult thing to.
accomplish from the water. But q tor
pedo. which a man can carry in his
pocket may destroy a battleship. Cur
tiss showed in his experiments that
the aeroplane can get in position and
land a shot under normal conditions.
However. in war. conditions are never
normal. Naval experts admit that
several a%eroplanes attacking might
make a few hits. OF course the aero
planes would get in one another's
way. and meanwhile the s%harpshoot-
ers below. having a whole flock of
bomb throwers for a target. might
score a few hits themselves.

Commonwealth VS.. George

In the case of Commonwealth VS..
George Phillips the defendant was
charged with non-support of his wife
and family. 1t appeared that in
this case the Overseers of the Poor
were forced to take action on a COM
plant from some of the neighbors,
and that neither Phillips nor his
wife had applied for assistance. 1t
was shown however, that the family
were i'm destitute circumstances, and
that the relief furnished was very
acceptable to the wife and children.
The Court dismissed the complaint
but admonished the defendant to
keep away from saloons and tavern s
and make use of his earnings to feed
and clothe his children.

Opinion in Sheath Case.

Justice MestreZat handed down
an opinion at Philadelphia yester-
day giving the reasons of the State
Supreme Court for the ousting OF
John O. Sheath from the Office of
State treasurer. The opinion holds
that the term of State treasurer is
fixed at two years by the State
constitution and that the legislature
has no power to extend or abridge
the term. The opinion states that
the constitution forbids an incum-
bent from holding two terms in
1t is held that a
vacancy occurred in the Office on
Nav 2 and that Governor Stuart
had the power to appoint a sue
cessor to Mr.. Sheath. The order
ousting Mr.. Sheath from Office was
issued by the Supreme Court two
weeks ago. -TOwanda Review.

Bureau fulfills its mission it will
render great service to every one
OF the twenty or more republics

matter of fact this country knows
far less of its sister republics to the
south of us than it does of almost
any European country. Our com
mercial intercourse with the South
American republics is comparatively
small, our flag is scarcely ever seen
