started skyward. Luigi is fat, but he
and Stefano were lifted foot or more.
Fortunately, they landed on their feet.
Neither man stopped 10 see what had
raised his body az well as his hair. but
ran into the hotel. past the desk and
up a flight Of stairs to the balcony.
There they halted to look around and
get their breath. Stefano didn't know
whether the end of the world had come
or whether it was merely a bomb
thrown by some Black Handler, and
Luigi couldn't tell him.
The musicians saw guests running
out OF the lobby into the street, and,
fearing that the building was about TO

street they discovered what had fright

WYOMING ON TRIAL
SURPRISES EXPERTS
Declare the Super-Dreadnought
Fastest BattIeship Afloat
Carrying 12-InCh Guns.
MADE 22.O45 KNOTS ON TRIP
But for Strike of Firemen 1t Is
Believed She Would Have
Made Even Greater
Speed.

Rockland, Me. July l9.-Remarkabie
speed was made to-day b. the now
United States battleship Wyoming. sis
ter ship OF the super -Dreadnought Ar
kansas during her Standardization
trials.
The Wyoming's speed OF 22.O45 knots
made TO-DAY IL declared By naval eX-
pe,ts aboard TO be the fastest ever
made BY any battleship in the world
carving twclve-inch guns.
During her trials month ago the
Arkansas made 21.49S knots an hour. a
record breaking performance at that
time.
A strike in the fire room during the
full speed runs interfered somewhat
with the operation Of the wyoming
to-day. and even better speed might
have been made. according 20 the OH
c,sIs. but for this trouble. The fircmcn
struck. for more pay. After tho diff
cultv was adjusted the steam fell off
considerably, and the speed likewise
but IN spite Of the trouble the Wyoming
not ONLY broke the full speed record,
hut also bettered the Arkansas's aver
ago for the fYe-mile top speed run.
The Wyoming's average was 2l.32@
knots, and that OF the Arkansas 21.15S.
The Wyoming made the customary
:wenty-three Standardization runs
over the measured mile course, making
three runs each at 10, To- 10, 115, ~
and o0.5 knots and fve at top. speed.
Her bes. time was made on the twenty
drsArun. The maximum propeller rev
olutions we're 333.61 minute. Tie
tests showed that to maintain the re-
ouired speed Of 20.5 knots, only 2sO.2
revolutions would be required. The
wyoming is $4,000 tons displacement.
The vessel Is 90 per cent completed
and. IT is expected, will be put In com
mission about the middle OF August.
Mr.. Grove said tonight that the result
Of the trouble with tho hremcn to- day
would probably be the placing OF naval
firemcn and engineers In charge of en-
gines in future trials.
The Wyoming will leave RocIland at
dsybreak tomorrow for a. series of
trial runs. down the coast. winding up
AT Philadelphia about Tuesday morn
