waste a moments thought on sea-

tions, you will be more likely TO get
sea-sick on your own piazza from
swinging in the hammock.
Many people have previously been
out in some fishing boat on the ocean
or lakes. where the little craft would
tip up at an angle about 30 times more
unsettling than the angle M which
an ocean liner can be lifted by the
waves. or they were ont in some
coast steamship where there is no
ventilation other than the door from

Nowadays the graduating essay is
