IX- SUBMARINE BOATS.
The study of sifbmarlne navigation Is
far from new. "Within the last few years,
however. It has been revived and pursued
with renewed energy, especially in the
United States and in France, and the per
formances of the boats have been followed
by the public with great interest.
A submarine boat must first of all be
habitable "both on the surface and beneath
It. Otherwise it Is no mpre than a torpe
do. It must be sufficiently under the con
trol of the pilot and go down or up or to
either side as he directs. Great rpeed Is
not necessary, but to be useful it must
have reasonably great range of action. In
other words. It must be able to operate
at a reasonable distance from Its poet
without becoming helpless and unable to
return because of loss of motive power.
HnMtaMUty.
The principal thing necessary to make
a submarine boat hbitable l an adequate
supply of air. Fcr this the crew must de
pend upon the supply carried In the boa:,
or there must be communication with the
surface through supply and exhaust tubes
through which the air is forced by pumps.
Both methods have been used, either sep
arately or in combination. The more
modern boats are provided with an abun
dant supply of compressed air In tanks,
eufficlent in some cares to enable the crew
to live comfortably at the bottom for a
day or longer. beMd-s serving other pur
' poses In the operation of the boat. Liquid
air may pceslbly be serviceable for such
purposes.
Method of Propulsion.
The submarine "boats of a century ago
were propelled while under water by car.
or a wheel. The cars projected through the
6.df s with water-tight jo nts of o led .eath-

er, and couM be feathered or turned edge
wise on the return stroke. What kind of a
wheel was uvzil is not clear, but it prob
ably was not a screw. Since the Invention
of the screw, however, all boats have used
it. In some of the earlier screw boats
no motcr was provided and the screw haa
to be turned by hand. The boat used
with ultimate success by the Confederate
iorces In the Civil War was propelled
In this way. Now, two forms of motor
are usually provided. A steam, gas or
oil engine can be used at the surface,
but not beneath 'it, where there is no way
of escape for the smoke or gasis. The
motor for propulsion under water Is in
general electric, although superheated
water or compressed air may be used.
A Hquld-alr motor would possess some
advantages for such service. Two of the
most successful French boats designed by
Zede used electric motors only, supplied
by accumulators. Their capacity Is suffi
cient to give a range of action of 33 or 40
miles.
Methods of Snlimcrfcence.
Submergence Is accomplished prlncipallj
by the admission of water Into tanks ar
ranged for the purpose. This Is in some
cases supplemented by vertical screws or
by horizontal rudders or vanes. A "boat In
motion may be made to go under the
water by changing the angle of the hori
zontal vanes, but if the forward motion
should cease the boat without water bal
last would rise to the surface again. Any
boat which depends on the use of vanes
for submergence" Is more properly a div
ing or plunging boat. Several of the
modern boats can be steered In this way.

course. Another ingenious method of sub
mergence Is by a change in volume,
which may be accomplished by the use of
water-tight pistons. This, however. Is only
a particular way of admitting water bal

recently been aroused In France by the
performances of two or three boats, we
may leave them without further descrip
tion and pass at once to the considera
tion of the boats which-have the most
Interest for us those of Holland and of
Lake.
The HoIInnd.
There have been three Holland boats.
The first was a very small one. holding
but one man, who propelled the boat by
working the screw with his feet while
half reclining In a very uncomfortable
position. The "boat was only two feet h gh
and less than two feet wide. The second,
known as the Plunger, the largest of the
three. Is complicated by a great deal of
machinery. The third Is the one of which
TO have heard so much In the last three
years.

about the center of the back is the con
ning tower, in which the pilot stands, and
a narrow platform extends lengthwise of
the boat for use at the surface. Under it
is a small storage space. The boat is
propelled by a gas motor while afloat, ana
by an electric motor while submerged.
Submersion is by water ballast or by hori
zontal vanes or both. The boat carries
an abundant supply of compressed air,
and is armed with torpedoes, two aerial
and one submarine. The trials of this
boat have been very successful, and her
performance appears to be reliable. In
her official trial before the Navy board
about a ysar ago she made several suc
cessful dives and ran for a considerable
distance ten feet below the surfac; with
scarcely an appreciable variation from the

EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
Need of Itcnamlng Schools Other
Matters.
It has been suggested that much con
fusion could be avoided by renaming sev
eral of the schoolhouses on the East Side.
In that part of the district there are the
Central on East Thirteenth and East
Stark, and the North Central on East
Twelfth and East Burnslde streets. The
Alblna Central on Mississippi avenue and
Morris street, and even the Thompson
building is sometimes called the Central.
When first erected, the Central In East
Portland was the central Indeed and the
North Central was properly named, but
these names no longer mean anything as
far as location is concerned, but are con
fusing and misleading. The Alblna Cen
tral was tie second building put up In
old Alblna and was central as far as that
section Is concerned. It Is a small four-
room structure. It Is considered that all j
these East Side schoolhouses with the
name Central might be named in such a
way as to remove all confusion.

SOME PRACTICAL ADVICE.

Registration Larr SHRfrcnted.
PORTLAND, May 31.-To the Editor.)
On the eve of anoiher election, I consider
it a. suitable time to call attention to
some provisions of our electon laws, and
come pernicious practices that ought not
to be tolerated, with the hope that it may
result in a strlct-jr otervance of the law,
and bring about a more fair bailot and a
more honest count.
Provisions In the law for the guidance
of Judges and clerks of election have been
grossly disregarded in the past. One
means of securing a stricter observance
of the law, anu of preventing fraud, has
tiever been systematically employed. I
refer to the provisions of section IS of the
Australian ballot act of 1S31, whereby sev
eral candidates may unite in appointing
an agent at each polling place and file the
appointment with the Judges. Thus re
sponsible and known persons only will be
In the room during the time of receiving
and counting the votes. There should be
concert of action on the part of these
agents of the political parties or of the
candidates, so that some of them will be
constantly on duty and guard against
frauds which might be attempted In spite
of the wntchfulners of the Judges, or even
with their connivance. The statute Is
stringent enough, but it is not self-enforcing.
It must be Invoked or put Into
force by the action of some one. and this
should be the work of these agents, when
ever the Judges or clerks or others violate
the plain provisions of the law. Section
70 of the act punishes by fine of not less
than $500, or Imprisonment of not less
than one year in the penitentiary, any
Judge or clerk of election "who shall will
fully disregard any of the provisions of
the act, or who shall negligently fail to
enforce any of the provisions of the act,
or who shall. In the counting of the bal
lots or In making the returns thereof,
willfully disregard any of the directions
or requirements of the act."
When there agents observe any such
misconduct on the part of the Judges or
clerks, or by one or more of them. It 'jx
peculiarly their duty to call the offender's
attention to the provision of the statute
and his delinquency. Some of the other
Judges or clerks may have observed the
illegal' act. but not like to call attention
to It for fear of raising a disagreement
In the board, whereas. If these bystand
ers or agento called attention to the Ille
gality of the net. then they would not
hesitate to tnke action to enforce the law
and Immediately put a stop to the Illegal
proceeding.
Frauds Upon the Bnllot.
In my Judgment, the time when the
roost frauds upon the ballot are practiced
Is between the clcring of the polls- and
the actual counting of the ballots. Some
years ago I saw one of the Judges, while
the cornt was In progrers. Industriously
engaged In taking the ballots out cf the
box and unfolding them, smoothing them
out and looking them over, having a doz.
en or 20 of them at one time thus under
his hande, all the time holding a ver7
small indelible pencil 'n his Oncers. Os
tensibly, he was merely getting them
ready for the next Judge to read them
aloud, but considering that 20 per cent of
the ballots are not fully marked, I could
not help wondering what th gentleman
wonld be dolntr In the lonely hours of the
night with that little pencil. There would
thrm bo no'hlng to prevent his marking
here and th?re for a candidate In a group
which the elector who had cast the ballot
had overlooked or omitted to mark. T
was a transient virltor. and It would have
done no good to have temporarily stopped
the game.
Such practices can best be prevented bv j
tne constant wr.tch of these agents of the
political parties and of the candidates
and to keep un tho watch they should act
in conrrt, and relievo each other, so that
ft no time shall the ballots he exposed ta
dancer of alteration addition or substj.
tutlon. from the time they go Into the
box unt'l the Inst one has been taken out
and duly counted.
Section 23 of tho act plainly directs that
the ballots shall be taken out of the box
"one at a time by the chairman" and
read and tallied, "while It remains In hi"
hnnd. and while one of the Judges not of
tjie name political party as the chairman
overlooks the ballot." No such officer
could have anv legitimate use for a pen
cil while so handling the ballots. And
the Judge seen with one In his hnnd, or
observed in taking out of the box a sec
ond or additional ballot before the former
ballot was duly read and counted, should
be immediately called to account. His at
tention should be called to his violation
of the law, to his willful disregard of
that provision of the act, and the atten
tion of the other Judges and bystanders
should be called to his misconduct and
the willfulness of It. I do not tfilnk any
judse or clerk would take chances of con
viction If he was thus supervised. It is
only by concert of action that euch watch
fulness ran be maintained and such fraud
prevented. Any law can be defeated if
Its provisions are thus grossly violated
with impunity. Any system of book-keeping
or checks, designed to prevent or to
discover frauds, can be rendered useless If
the accountants conspire to Ignore them
and are permitted to make false entries
No doubt the laws might be Improved by
good amendments, but if the amendments
were not observed or enforced any better
than some of the present good provisions
It would not avail.
Objects of the Registration LitTr.
The present registration law wae not
Intended so much to prevent unqualified
persons from registering as to furnish
means to detect and to facilitate the de
tection of persons guilty of attempting to
vote Illegally. Yet with all the talk, 2
havo not yet heard of an arrest for per
jury or other offense since the registering
negan. aurely, if men have falsely sworn
to their places of residence or other qual
ifications, it might have been discovered
ere this. It Is not necessary or advisable
to wait until election day and to arrest
only when the Illegal voter appears at the
polls.
No registration law can give much sat
isfaction If It permits electors to vote,
notwithstanding that they have neglected
to register. The law should make it quit,e
easy to register (by mail as now. for In
stance) and it should then declare, that if
not registered the individual should not be
allowed to vote. But the former regis
tration law of 1SS3 was held unconstitu
tional for this very reason, and that de
cision stands unreversed, and It was not
considered safe to take the chance of re
enacting a law with the same provisions
in It. The act. however, should be at once
amended In this particular, and the con
stitutionality of the amendment could
then be tested, without Jeopardizing the
law.
As It Is, the act of 1E99 requires every
unregistered elector to present to the
Judges at the polls his affidavit together
with that of six owners of real estate In the
county, all in writing, duly signed, estab
lishing his right to vote- Tet the law Is
liable to be abused, and this safeguard
rendered abortive. Like other provisions
Its efficacy depends upon the three Judgei
at each polling place. If they accept
every such affidavit as conclusive or sat
isfactory and permit the Individual to vote,
it will go a long way to render the regis
tration law useless, and all the trouble It
put good citizens to of no benefit.
It may be at some polls two or three
such complacent Judges may be found,
who will so grossly fall In their duty as
to accept such affidavits as sufficient,
when they should be carefully investi
gated. The Judges have express authority
in the act to issue subpenacs to compel
witnesses to appear before them, and they
arc not hindered In the least from com
pelling the elector to actually produce his
six witnesses before them.
By the law the affidavit is not made
even prima facie evidence of the elector's
right to vote. The law merely requires
him to start his case by Introducing that
amount and character of proof. It is left
wholly in the control and sound discretion
of the three Judges at each polling place,
how much more proof they shall require,
and whether to require the witnesses to
appear before them for cross-examination,
and as to how much proof or testimony in
rebuttal they will hear.
If any excuse Is to be allowed for not
registering, and If any Investlgat'on and
trial at the polls of the right of the
unregistered applicant to vote is to be
allowed, this discretion must be vested
somewhere. If it is exercised in the Inter
ests of the many good citizens who have
registered, the duly regis ered and unchal
lenged electors should not be delayed or
hindered at the polls, and if there are any
who must be delayed or Inconvenienced at
the polls, they should be the unreg stered.
or the registered who have not given their
true place of residence, or who have
fraudently registered.
The Sheriff In the first place should ar
range the entrances and exits so as to
facilitate the handling of such suspicious
cases without holding up those registered
and unchallenged electors who may be In
the line Just behind the unregistered. And
the Judges at each polling place should so
control the coming and going at the polls
as not to permit such unregistered and
challenged applicants to delay and hinder
the well-known and registered from cast
ing their ballots.
Tet. after all. there Is little but public
opinion to compel the Sheriff In the first
instance and the Judges at the polls on
election day to do their whole duty In
these particulars. Sher'ff Frazler is a can
didate for re-election. In this countv thi
Republican party has a majority
of the Judges at all or nearly
all of the polling places. If they or the
majority of thrm fall properly to conduct
the polls the responsibility should be fixed
upon that party, and particularly upon Its
party managers, and I know of no weapon
the electors have more powerful than
their ballots. If things go right or wrong
at the polls, pass the word around, and le:
those who do not get a chance to vote,
there or elsewhere, by their ballots ex
press their approval or disapproval of the
course of the dominant party.
Plan to Block the Polls.
It has been currently said cliques of
owners of real estate, willing to lend them
selves to the scheme, have signed or
will hold themselves in readiness and con
veniently near by to sign such affidavits,
In order to facilitate the voting of such
unregistered characters as the "bosses"
want to make use of, and that If these
men are not allowed to vote, they can,
when the time arrives, block the pol!s
with them anyhow. Such schemes cannot
succeed without the connivance or gross
mismanagement of the Judges at the polls.
When one considers how much effort
has been devoted to secure as good elec
tion laws as we have, and how much re
mains to be secured of amended before
we can expect much improvement, it Is
disheartening. But there is only one
thing fcr us to do. We must keep on
endeavoring against the wrong and con
tending for the right course. That Is
what our ancestors did to give us the

.A TRAVELING MAN'S OPINION
A well-known New York traveling man.
at the Portland, yesterday, said: "I have
crossed the continent n.'ne times, in the
last five years, but I never before had so
quick and pleasant a trip as this one. I
came by the O. R. & N.. of couree, and
it would be hard to Imagine a finer train,
better service, faster time or grander
and more varied scenery. The sleepers
are as comfortable and elegant as first
class hotels: the diners serve nearly every
thing you can get at a metropolitan res
taurant, and serve It well and at reason
able prices: and the buffet observation
car Is a whole city club on wheels, with
library, reading and writing-room, cafe,
bar and barber shop, all condensed In one.
And the time Is greased lightning! Think
of flying from New York to Portland In
four days, and from Chicago to Portland
In three! Talk about modern progress !
You can get a half-century of It boiled
down to a few hours In one O. R. & N.
'Chicago-Portland Special' trip!"

The slaughter of the Innocents was noth
ing in comparison with the destruction of
infants caused by "physic."
Not so very long ago the poor little suf
ferers were usually forced to swallow vio
lent purges, and it was luck if they got
over It all right.
. The stomach and bowels of the baby are
sources of constant discomfort. The milk
food sours In the baby's delicate little ln
sides, and forms curd, and the fermenta
tion of this undigested substance makes
gases which produce wind colic Then the
little people begin to scream with agony,
and the excited mother or nurse pours
down the physic
That's the time for the use of Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. If the babe be suckling,
the mother makes her milk mildly purga
tive by eating a Cascaret. Older Infants
eat a little piece like candy. In all cases
Cascarera are mild but positive, never grip
nor gripe, stop sour stomach, move the
bowels naturally, and put things right as
they should be.
Isow, mamma, buy and try Cascaret3

say they'll do, proves their merit. AH
