STORM RAISES TIDES HERE.
Water Runs Over the Sea Wall at
Potomac Park.

An effect of the heavy easterly storm.
which ragged along the Atlantic coast
for several days in the latter part of
the week, was seen here in the un-
usually high tides caused by the back
ing up of the water from the ocean
into Chesapeake bay and the river to
this city. Friday afternoon the tide
went over the top of the seawall about
Potomac Park, and Saturday it ranged
high all day. Tides as high as. or higher
than, that of Friday are not at all uncom-
mon in the spring, but Potomac navi-
gators say they are unusual at this
season. when the prevailing winds
should be from the northwest, and this
wind keeps the water low i'll the river.
The rains of the past two or three
days were not heavy enough to bring
muddy water from the upper river, and
the saltiness of the river to within ten
miles of Washington has not been at
fected. The water in the harbor Is
still unusually clear. and it is said that
several crabs have been caught in
Hunting creek, below Alexandria.

Place to Bury Worries.

Some of US on our return went to
Sunset hill. One lover of nature has
dedicated a beautiful bungalow to the
wanderlusters. Among his souvenirs
and relics of nature and of war times,
an open grave, with the Inscription,
Bury here all your Worries is in evil
dence. AS there are few worries among
the wanderlusters, this grave still re-
mains untitled. Some Of us climbed the
famous rock-hewn steps to the little
church on the hill and breathed a
prayer Some of us visited Jefferson
rock and the hotel nearby, where the
manager made US feel at home. The
hospitality of the county folk was
marked.
"Withal, it was a happy crowd and
delightful occasion. About eight miles
were covered, the distance having to
be shortened somewhat on account of
the late start. The doctor was most
amiable host, and the wanderlusters
extended to him a most cordial invita-
ton to join them in any of their city
hikes. 49,,
"Chestnuts were obtained in large
numbers, and many wild flowers: The
return to the city was made on sched-
ule time, and though weary and foot
sore, we were happy"

Says Sylvester.
USEFULNESS OF BICYCLE
ALSO THING OF THE PAST
Chief Tells That Lack of Force Has
Been Reinforced by Perfection of
Equipment for Service.

There is no longer need for horse
drawn vehicles in the police depart
ment. The bicycles. too, must go. Also
the saddle horse.
A few horse-draWn vehicles are still
in the service, but Police Chief Sylves-
ter hopes it will be only a short time
before they are replaced with motor
vehicles. 1t is highly probable that the
bicycle, a vehicle that has been of such
good service to the department. will
have to make way for motor cycles.
Motor cycles for the horse-mo1nted po-
lice are also in contemplation.
Motor Cycles to Replace Horse.

Sylvester in his annual report to the

that change of one word be made in

ties provided, in order that prompt re-
Spouse might be made to calls.
1.-The department has placed in ope-
ration motor patrol wagons, these
vehicles performing a double duty in
nearly every instance. One vehicle per-
forms duty for two precincts. The
between the two precincts is
almost continuous.
ut has been found that the many
runs affect the vehicles, to the end
that as they grow older the expense
for repairs must increase, and in a
few years new machines will have to
be substituted. One of these machines,
now in use at the tenth precinct, has
been in the department for several
years, has outgrown its general use
fulness and is only kept in operation
by continual attention.
"In the estimates for the police de-
partment have been included items for

and Viewing Valleys.

With the weather conditions ideal,
wanderlusters of Washington yester-
day journeyed to Harpers Ferry. The
hike was declared to be one of the most
enjoyable of the season and a large
crowd went on it.
DR.. T. c. Stotler of Harpers Ferry
led the mixers after they "disembarked
from their train. He was assisted by a
number of Boy Scouts and by the La
dies Walking Club. The Washington
leaders who had charge of the wan
derlusters en- route were Walter w
Paige, G. W. Green and John o. Lewis
Following is the official report of the
outing:

pers Ferry. We started from the Union
station at S:25 o'clock. and thought we
were ON our way until Silver Spring
was reached, when the wireless co OPP
orator reported a freight wreck at Ger
mantown. and then we returned to
Washington. It looked like we must
give it up. For a pastime the engineer
played hide and seek. He pulled and
he backed, and then he sprinted around
to the rear and pushed and pulled And
while he was playing this little joke we
gathered morning glories by the way
side. He then took us to Hyattsville
for short stop and returned again to
the Capital city, from where a fresh
start was made, and we reached Har-
pers Ferry at 1890. earlier than was
hoped. Here we were greeted by DIR.
