| however, that it is necessary to find
suitable substitute to raise the So
| 100000 necessary to balance the
proposed 1889 budget.
In business session prior to the

Hair-Aiastinr the Flag

Haf-masting the national nag
In token Of mourning originated at
sea, as the use Of the term mast
instead Of stair indicates. Hoist
your sales half : mast high. said
Captain Smith in his "Seaman's
Grammar" published in 1927. The
custom dates back several centu-
ries and probably grew out Of the
earlier custom Of lowering the flag
on vessels at sea as a sign OF sub
mission to foe. The fag is also
lowered to half-mast as signal OF
distress. a practice followed by the
Spanish as early as the Seventeenth
century. According to flag etiquette.
when a national flag is placed at
haK-mast as a tribute Of respect to
the dead II is first raised to the top
of the staff or mast and then slowly
lowered to position at or near the
middle Of the staff.

Of the western and northern coun-
tries Of Europe.
From the Baltic they moved In
the third century. toward the Black
sea. At the Dnieper river they di-
vided into eastern and western
branches-the eastern being known
as Ostrogoths and the western Visi-
goths.
The Ostrogoths, after ravaging
eastern Europe, established a king
