hands controlling a small gun

pie in the turret of the vessel
can see the ship at which they
are firing. From the fire-control
station comes by telephone the
name of the object to be hit, the
distance and the DETECTION to be
allo wed, and the gunlayer keeps
the cross wires of his telescope
sight aligned for the object, the
trainer of the turrett having
been able to swing the whole of
the latter's heavy bulk round
from a fore-and-aft direction till
it is at right angles to the sleeps
keel. 1t is all done by hydraulic,
so easily and yet so quietly, just
as readily as the gunlayer is able
by means of the same hydraulics
to raise or lower his gun balan-
ced on it's trunions. These vast
tons of steel seem to be moved
as easily as toys.
When the cross-wires of his
sight are on the object to be de-
stroyed, the gunlayer puts his
finger round the trigger, and at
the order fires by means of cleo
tricity, and the huge shell,
weighing, if you please, the whole
of 1,400 pounds, goes tearing
through the air. But even be-
fore it has reached its target the
breech of the great gun swings
open once more, lever is
worked, and a powerful blast Of
air cleans out the remains of the
cordite; and then the rammer
the ammunition hoist, and the
same drill act as before.

The Situation in New
York.

There have been many events
of the last month which tended
to improve the prospect of Presi-
dent Wilson for reelection, but
nowhere have affairs taken
more encouraging turn than in
New York State.
The Democrats, with the full
assent of Tammany Hall, have
nominated for Governor Judge
Samuel Seabury, a man of learn
ing ond distinction, who will
make an admirable candidate.
For the Senate William F. Nc
Combs has been named, and he
is another useful and progressive
Democrat. Mr.. McCombs was
in charge of Mr.. Wilson's cam
paign for the Presidential nomi-
nation for years ago, and was,
until the st. Louis convention,
chairman of t h e Democratic
National Committee.
Both Judge Seabury and Mr..
McCombs are two of the strong
est men the Democrats could
have possibly selected, and the
party is peculiarly fortunate in
having as candidates for these
offices men who are acceptable
to Tammany Hall, but have never
been subservient to its influence
or demands.
On Wall Street the odds are G
to 5 in favor of Seabury over
Whitman, and have receded from
2 to 1 on Hughes to z to 5.
1t appears, therefore reason
ably certain that there will be &
| Democratic Governor and a Dem
ocratic Senator in the Empire
State, and that their candidates.
will be a source of strength t.

ODELON LAPO|NTE
IS ROUNDED UP ON
NoN-SUPPoRT CHARGE
And on Being Found Guilty Is
Fined S250-Appeals and Is
Ordered to Furnish $500
Bonds for September, But Is
Unable to Do So and Goes to
Jail

The business Of the municipal court
Friday morning was confined to. the
case of Odelon Lapointe, who found
himself entangled in the meshes Of the
law because of his alleged non-support
Of his family, which consists Of a wife
and three minor children under the age
Of 16 years, the ages Of the three be-
ing IA, II and years.
The complainant in the case was
Overseer Manning S. Campbell Of the
poor department, and the arrest was
made at his request, inasmuch as the
city had been supporting Mrs. Lapointe
and the children for some time past
and it was the desire of the head of
the poor department that some ar
rangement might be made for the
benefit Of the family as soon as posi-
BILE.
Lapointe was brought over from
Lewiston late Thursday and locked up
at the police station for the night, and
Friday morning he was arraigned be-
fore Judge Lancaster of the municipal
court on the charge of non-support.
When asked If he were guilty or not
guilty Lapointe replied that he was
not, but had no evidence with which
to back up his claim, and the court
promptly found him guilty. He was
sentenced to pay a fine Of $3.50, and in
case the fine was not paid to be COM
mitted to Jail for one year.
Lapointe did not take kindly to the
