NAVIGATION CLASS
Gets NEW DEVICES
Devioscope and Sphereoscope
for Students of Ship
Sailing Art

The board of education has author
ICED the purchase of devioscope and
a sphereoscope for the use of the pub
lie navigation class, which meets
every night in the ferry postoffice
building.
j. T. Mcmillan. who has charge of
this class, is nautical expert at the
branch photographic office of the
navy. He is a graduate of the naval
academy at Annapolis, which is fa-
nous for turning out the best nayiga-
tors In the world. The board estab-
ished the class a few years ago as an
experiment. 1t is now an institution
that enjoys the respect of the ship
ping community. Instruction is free
and the pupils include sailormen who
have qualified as navigators by rule
of thumb, but have the laudable am
bition to acquire a more thorough un-
derstanding OF the science; yachts
men. members of the state naval mill
tia and mere landsmen who are suffi-
.ciently interested in mathematics to
seek light on one of Its most interest
ing branches.
The devioscope, which Is being made
In the east, Is a model of a ship and
will be used to explain the art of
compensating the compass. The use
of the sphereoscope is to familiarize
students with the imaginary circles
used in nautical astronomy.

OPIUM PROBLEM
CONF FRONTSSENATE
Legislation Regulating Illicit
Drug Traffic Pending; viii
Drive Out Improper Use
By VICTOR ELLIOTT

WASHINGTON. Sept 15.-All trade
in opium and allied narcotics. except
when destined for medical purposes,
viii soon be placed under the bar of
law, IL legislation now before the
United States senate be passed. This
legislation marks the highest point
vet attained by the world in its eff
fort to drive out the use of opium
and similar narcotics admitted to
have a demoralizing effect upon the
user. Moreover, according to Hamil
ton Wright, who made an extensive
report to the department Of state on
the deliberations Of the second in
ternational conference on the opium
trade, held at The Hague. July /
of this year, the latest campaign
against the opium trade has risen
afresh as a result of the aggressive
measures taken by the United States
after. it acquired the Philippine
islands.
"Those who see no good in the
American occupation Of the Islands,
wrote Mr.. Wright, should take COM
fort out Of the fact that because the
United States, too, had a vast problem
there. it gave new life to the anti
opium movement and took the initial
step to raise the Indo-Chinese opium
question from its narrow national
confines and place it squarely before
the international world for discussion
and final settlement
10 NATIONS HOLD OUT
All hut 10 nations Of the world
have agreed to sign convention pro-
hibiting the opium traffic except
where the narcotic is destined for
medical use. This is the outcome of
an international conference on opium
held in Shanghai in 1909, and of two
international conferences held within
the last three years at The Hague.
The 10 nations which are standing
ont against signing the convention
are Austria Hungary, Bulgaria,
Greece. Montenegro. Norway, Peru,
Roumania. Servia, Sweden, Switzer-
land. Turkey and Uruguay, although
Peru and Uruguay during the con-
ference informed representatives of
the United States that they would
sign the pact
A bill carrying the convention into
effect has been passed by the house
Of representatives of the United
g.
that this measure will pass the SEN
ate. perhaps before the conclusion OF
the present special session.
The opium traffic is a world prob
dem. 1t has been a source of inter
