ROAR OF CANNON IN
 LONG ISLAND SOUND
700 Pound ProisetiIes Sent Three Miles Into the Air, at Moving Target.

CIV York, Aug. 2e-The scream of shells and the roar of cannon rolled over the waters of Long Island sound today. The long 12-inch mortars at Fort Totten. which guard the northern entrance to New York harbor, sent IS 700-pound projectiles climbing three miles into the sky at a moving speck of a target, 13.000 yards or shore.
 Conditions of actual warfare were duplicated, so far as possible. In a little observatory on Sands Point six miles away. an officer sighted the mor- tars by telephone. computing by math- enatical formula the range, the angle of fire and all the other intricate fac tors to be considered The artillery men working in the gun pit saw noth- ing of the target, but followed the commands of this offlcer. relayed to them by the battery commander a few feet away in the pit.
 Instead of hostile fleet upon whose decks the gunners would endeavor to drop the big projectiles, as in actual warfare, they fired at a riangular sail on a bobbing float at the end of 500 yard hawser let out by a tug. It's actual measurements were ten feet high by ten feet wide at the base. The flight of the projectiles could be fol- lowed without glasses for the first few seconds, but so far away was the target that when they fell the great columns of water that spouted up ap- peared but a few feet in height.

Hagberg has seen the old horse cars and bus lines dis placed by trolley roads, which have gradually grown from a single line to the present size and scope of the Shore Line system. Some thirty years ago Mir and Mrs. Hagberg lived in a farm house quite near their present home and in those days trips to Norwich had to be made by horse and carriage or On foot. When the Norwich and Westerly trolley line was put through, it became a matter of less than ten ride to MT Hagberg's resi- dence from the square. In speaking of pleasure trips to the shore thirty five or forty years ago. MT. Hagberg said the people focked there in crowds much as they do now on hot Sunday or holiday.
