PERILs OF SEA SERVICE

From the London Times.
 It is the great distinction of the sea that its peace maneuvers are never sham fights. To whatever branch or grade of the naval service a seaman may belong, when he is on active service he is al ways face to face with the real thing" A mistake of any sort, pardonable mis- calculation, a momentary failure of nerve able accident, may involve the forfeit of many lives. Hence the magnificent train- ing the sea imposes in manliness, re- sourcefulness and self control. The sub marine branch of the navy has undoubt- edly risks and dangers of its own, as the sad tale of previous disasters plainly shows; and when a catastrophe such as took place, recently unhappiy occurs it Is of a nature to make a profound im- pression upon the public But in relation to the number of submarines In commits sion and to the constant exercise they undergo. the picked officers and men who serve in them do not incur risk out of all proportion greater than their com rades in other branches. Danger and risk are no peculiar prerogative of the submarine. Daily faced in the routine of duty and daily overcome, they form the very foundation of naval character. and are a pledge, in no small degree, of the security upon which as a nation owe reposp

NINE CATS BREAK UP HOME

From the Philadelphia Press.
 Nine cats have broken up home and driven a man into the divorce court. The story of the despicable cats was told in court of common pleas No. 4, by Fred erick Voss, who sought a divorce from his wife, Elizabeth. The jury, after hear ing of the cats, granted the divorce with out leaving the box. Neither Mrs. Voss nor the cats were In court to answer the charges.
 Voss told how he was married in 190a and went to live with his wife's family. There he found nine cats in the house. He said he had no animus against the felines until he found that they were winning his wife's attentions and even her love from him. He won the sympathy of the jury when he told how the cats made practice of sleeping in his clothes. Cat hair, he said, was everywhere, in his bed. all over his clothing and even in made the house an unfit place for him to live. He said that he would have loved to drown the cats, but his wife would not have 1t that way, and once when he threatened to do violence to the felines Mrs. Voss threatened him with arrest.
 ''She told me if l did not like the cats I could get out" he explained.
 Voss gave his residence as 1724 North Tenth street, and his wife's as 2022 North Sixth street.

President Sibley Takes Hold

The retirement of Richard w. Mas sey after a year of successful service as president of the Chamber of Com merce was followed on Friday by the election of John W. Sibley as his suc- cessor. MT. Massey boosted Birming- ham in every possible way and MT. Sibley can be trusted to do likewise. The year just ended was one filled with earnest efforts for the uplift of the city, and the coming year prom ises to be equally effective. The new standing committees are already in charge of the work entrusted to them.
 President Sibley in the course of his speech following his election to the presidency said that he had no pet theory to present, but he would ask for more aggressive work in the matter of diversified industries. He favors, in other words, larger pay roll.
 President Sibley also announced that he would appoint a committee to confer with the board of revenue con- corning new county buildings. With out assuming" he said, "any patent right to the originality of the idea, l throw out as a suggestion that it might be feasible to establish joint city and county building, after the fashion of Memphis, Tenn, and locate same in the center of Capitol park, one floor of which could be used as great auditorium. The present courthouse property and our city hall would probably sell for enough to erect this suggested structure" Here is a good suggestion, indeed-one that should be worked out to the limit of possibilities.
 The reports of the retiring presi- dent and of Secretary Babb present great deal of information, and they have no doubt been or will be care fully read by every intelligent citizen
