opposition parties in the Sejm disagree
with what the president said. He was
attacking not only the National Min

not have been elected president, but
also the whole of the opposition. He
said that laws ought TO be enforced

Balboa Heights, Canal Zone, May g..
An is foot canoe, flying main sail
and lib, enjoys the distinction of being
the first sailing craft of any descrip-
lion to pass through the Panama
Canal under the power Of her canvas.
The little vessel. manned by Lieu
tenant Miller, OF the U. S. navy, and
n. J. Grieser, a swimming instructor,
who had previously rowed, padded
and piloted q motor boat through the
canal, started at Cristobal, on the At
lantic side Of the cut. at 6 a. M, and
locked the same evening at Balboa,
on the Pacific, at S:45.
The frail craft squeezed her way
into the great locks alongside of huge
steel freighters, was raised or low
cred to the level of the next lock,
and passed on to repeat the process
until she had negotiated the entire
lock system. The tolls were 70 cents.
