WHY SAN FRANCISCO?

IF UNCLE SAM is going to spend sio,ooo.Ooo
on naval academy on the Pacific coast, il is
up to Seattle to show why the Puget Sound coun-
try offers better natural advantages for such an in
stitution than California.
There are plenty of reasons why this North
west SHOULD be selected
The government already owns three times
enough property in and around the Puget Sound
navy yard at Bremerton for a naval academy such
as the world has never known.
The millions already invested there have
erected practical laboratories available now.
deep water channel winds securely to this spot
blessed by nature as ideal for naval development
But California has one asset that must be
reckoned with-eternal vigilance. California learned
long ago that the race is often won on the start
For that reason, San Francisco energy, coupled
with intelligent watchfunesS, has brought to Cali
forna heavy investments for army and navy
expenditures.
Vigilance and energy has obtained for the Mare
island navy yard 81 for every 81 invested at Brem-
erton. Yet official reports clearly state the Mare
island channel will not float dreadnaught, that
dredging viii have to be done continuously, while
the Bremerton navy yard may be reached by any
class of vessel at any time.
The Star is not advocating any pork barrel
grabs.
But The Star does want to see the government
consider Puget Sound if it contemplates the estab-
ishment of a naval academy on this coast

ION HONOR"

prison camps TO spend Christmas at home with

along the same lines were unfortunate Gov Hunt
inaugurated the system of sending convicted GRIM

FEATS OF CARRIER PIGEONS
Since the Franco-Prussian War Their
Value Has Been Recognized by
All Governments.

The famous performance of carrier
pigeons during the siege of Paris IN
the Franco-Prussian war, when they
carried upwards of 10000 messages,
was the result OF an inspiration rather
than of forethought. Private citizens
who CHANGED to have pigeons offered
them to the government. Their per-
Torrance was such a splendid success
that France has ever since maintained
large flocks in charge of the engineer
corps.
The birds are carefully trained as
soon as they are able to fly and are
then drilled daily for the rest of their
useful lives. They are taught to fly and
to alight on signal. The first thing
Bismarck did after the treaty Of peace
was signed was to establish pigeon
lofts in Berlin and elsewhere through
out the empire. Every other nation in
Europe followed his example, and to-
day every government has thousands
of pigeons, all ready to carry messages
in time of war.

TEN of optical telegraph, the dots and

ten in the air by short and long puffs
of smoke.
The apparatus for ~discharging these
puffs, as built by Breguet, consists of
a black receptacle for smoke, situated
below the aviator's seat and project
ing downward. 1t is closed at its low
err end by a valve that can be opened
and shut with a small lever. Accord
ing to the length or brevity of the
opening the puff of smoke is a dash or
a dot. The smoke trails horizontally
behind the aeroplane and remains a
long time in the air if this is still;
even in a high wind it remains long
enough to be read with a field-glass
at a distance of several miles.

HAD TO STAND TIE GHOSTS
Frenchman vainIy Tried to Get Relief
From His unwelcome, Noisy
Visitors.

Writing on the effect of ghosts on
leaseholds. William w. Ackerly in
Case and Comment tells of a case be-
fore the parliament of Paris less than
four centuries ago.. It appeared that
a house was let In the suburbs of
Tours, and that the tenant, being
promptly disturbed by a noise and
routing of invisible spirits, which suf-
fered neither himself nor his family
to sleep O. nights as promptly went
to law. The lower court broke the
lease, the hauntings being considered
insupportable n~uisances. But this he
did without letters royal, and the les
sors appealed on the formal point.
Then the ghost was in for it. The
learned counsel for the lessons
laughed at the very idea OF noisy
spirits, and cited Joan of Arc, and
quoted from Plato, Philo, Judaeus,
Empedocles. Marcus Aurelius, Ter
tullian. Quintilian and Dioscorides, as
antighost authorities. He concluded
that the tenant and his family were
suffering from nightmare, and sug
gested that they should consult a ply
stefan and not a solicitor; or, granting
that the house was haunted, that they
should appeal to the clergy, and not
to the law. Naturally the tenants ad-
vocate did not appreciate his adVer-
sary's sense of humor, and told him
so. He, too, called upon the an
clients for assistance, citing Pliny, Plu-
tarch, Suetonius. Ovid, the. Fathers.
and whom else do you suppose? Why.
none other than the self-same Plato
whom his adversary had quoted so
glibly to the contrary. Obviously that
philosephic one, like many OF u
courts, either overlooked, or found
good reason for overruling, a former
decision; or else he was an equitable
soul and wished to satisfy both par
ties! Anyway. however. it seems
that the lower court was reversed. and
the poor tenant. of course, had to en-
dure his unwelcome %cotenant, or pay
the full terms rent and vacate.
