Though the petrol is swift. the fripate
bird Is far swifter. Seamen generally be-

Of Africa and roost the same night upon
the American shore. Whether this ia a
TACT has not been conclusively determined,
out 1t is certain that this bird is the
swiftest of winged creatures, and is able
to ny, under favorable conditions, 200

is thought to portend a hurricane.

the employment OF sufficient competent

BEWARE OF "PoRK BARREL" METHODS.
One of the greatest dangers in the distribu-
present in any distribution of funds that are
popularity known as "pork barreis". With a
commission representing political parties or
influenced by political motives. such dagger
is increased hundred-fold. With commits
sion of philosophical men who have not
been attracted to the job by its salary and its
political advantages. such q danger may be
almost entirely removed.
The present method by which the state aid
fund in Maine has been apportioned among
the towns and spent in the improvement of
short and usually very bad sections of road,
has served good purpose, but certainly the
time has come when there should be much
more effective system Of contiguous improve
ment than has been obtained.
new highway commission should be given
power, therefore, to bring about continuous
construction similar in part to the New
Hampshire system For 1t may be well as
sumed that throughout most of the towns
that have been getting State aid for ten years,
most Of the particularly bad sections on the
principal roads have been taken care Of and
attention given now TO systematic construc-
tion and continuous maintenance, without
having any impo rtant section Of the town in
the mud.
The system OF construction whereby short
lengths Of improved road are built In the
midst of generally bad roads, in the hope that
eventually all the roads win be improved 10
an expensive process. For a short section Of
improved road continually suffers from the
mud which is brought up on 1t at either end
by traffic. This forms a loose, spongy cover

Philadelphia, May 31.-The greatest
surprise of to-day's American Henley,

defeat of Columbia by the Navy. Only
two weeks ago Columbia beat the Mid
dies in the easiest fashion on Carnegie
Lake I97lf,'
Navy, however, had improved won
derfully. This crew rowed an entirely
different stroke. showing thirty-nine to
the minute. where formerly they rowed
forty five. To-day the Navy showed a
long swing fore and aft, instead of
their accustomed short body swing.
Their workmanship had improved
Wonderfully Columbia was just as
good as ever. which magnif1ed the hon
or due Coach Glendlg. who had show
ed his wonderful resources in such a
short time.
Navy beat their opponents and had
tour lengths on Columbia in the first
ten strokes. At the quarter Columbia
had closed to three quarters of q
length. The service school answered
with sprint which caught Columbia
at disadvantage. as this crew wasson
the inside course, multiplying at least
haif length. on accountSof the angle
OF the finish. AS it was Columbia. was
beaten by scant FIVE feet in sag.

The Vespers, of Philadelpbja Won
an impressive victory in the first
double SOULS, trimming the Unions. Of
Boston. and the Undine Barge Club. of
Philadelphia. AT the bridge the Unions
rowing thirtythree, very low stroke
were going away from the Vespers
rowing thirty-e eight They had almost
a length advantage. A hundred yard
beyond the bridge the Vespers showed
a squirt and passed the Unions AT
the three quarters the Vespers had a
length of open water. Stroke Aver, In

One of the prettiest races of the day
