FIREMEN ROOKIES
FLINCH BUT STICK
. Nerve Tests of Climbing Aerial
Ladder and Jumping Into
Nets Braved by All.
OTHER EXPLOITS BAFFLING
Many Unable to Run 100 Yards in
.J 4 Seconds as Required Dumb
bell Raising: and lland-Over-Kand
Climb Also Stumblers.
Did you ever get in a second-story
window and look down? It looks high
er than it does to look up, and It
looked higher yesterday to 110- men
who had to jump into a net from a second-story
window of the fire drill
tower at East Third and East Pine
streets as a part of the civil service ex
amination given applicants for posi
tions in the fire bureau. But every
last one of the bunch jumped.
It also looks a long way to the
ground when the ground is viewed
from the wabbly top of an 85 - foot
aerial ladder, but every one of the ap
plicants went to the top of the ladder,
squirmed over the top runs and came
down the other side.
These were the two bravery tests of
the examination. There was a series of
other feats to perform to show speed,
strength and endurance. A ladder was
placed against the third-story window
of the drill tower and each applicant
had to walft. up the underside of this
hand-over-hand. For each rung the
applicant got two credits. Some were
able to make three or four rungs, while
others went higher.
Speed Teat Bard on Some.
Then they had to run 100 yards in
not more than 14 seconds. Extra cred
its were given for greater speed than
that. A few of the applicants were un
able to make the dash and lost points
in the examination accordingly.
Another strength test was the carry
ing of a leather dummy shaped like a
human body and weighing 125 pounds
' up a ladder to a third-story window
and down again. The dummy was sus
pended over the shoulder of the ap
plicant, and he made the trip up the
ladder and down. Note was made of
his time.
Then came a muscle test. Each ap
plicant, flat on his back, was required
to raise a heavy dumbbell at arms'
length to a horizontal position. This
test was too much for some of the ap
plicants, but the majority got through
it all right.
Kew Equipment Used.
The aerial ladder test was one of the
hardest in the examination. The new
auto aerial truck was taken to the
pcene and the suspension ladders raised.
The ladder did not seem, from the
ground, to wabble much, but those who
climbed it declared it swayed back and
forth until it looked as though it would
break. And from the top of the ladder
the 85 feet to the ground looked like
a mile, they said.
In jumping into the net the ap
plicants furnished much amusement for
the crowd of spectators. Some of the
applicants jumped flat on their backs,
others on their feet and still others on
the backs of their necks.
The examination, which was started
Tuesday, was completed yesterday, ex
cepting for an oral examination, which
will be given by members of the Civil
Service Board at a time to be an
nounced later.

clares Lewis Frederick.
TACOMA, Wash., March 16. (Spe

have been in seven years, and indica
tions are that prices will hold firm.
said Lewis Frederick, secretary of the1
company. "Lumber shipments so far
exceed the cut by 25 or 30 per cent.
which means that many of the mills
are drawing on their stock to fill their
orders.
"The opening of the Panama Canal,
which has been set for April lo. will
greatly increase the demand for Wash
ington lumber," said J. H. Bloedel,
president of the West Coast Lumber
men's Association, who is in Tacoma.
"It will bring more tonnage to this
Coast and will place us in touch with
the European and Atlantic Coast mar
kets. I believe the opening or tne fan-
ama Canal will give the lumber market
one of the greatest boosts 11 nas naa in
some 'time."
J. J. Donovan, of Bellingham. said
he and Mr. Bloedel are considering
building three auxiliary schooners on
Puget Sound.
"I believe that now is tne lime 10

FOR FIRE SERVICE DEMONSTRATE
'S LAW VEXES
SHIPS AT GRAYS HARBOR HAVE
TROt'BLB GETTING MICN.
Minor Physical Disabilities of Sailors
Cause Two Fines to Be Imposed.
Desertion Aided.
HOQUIAM. Wash., March 16. (Spe
cial.) The .new seamen's law is caus
ing ships' masters and owners consid
erable trouble and expense on Grays
Harbor, as a result of the difficulty
of getting certified seamen, and re
ports received here indicate similar
conditions exist at other ports. Al
ready, two fines, one of $100 and the
other of $200. have been imposed on
ships for clearing- with uncertified sea
men. The law requires that a ship must
carry in its crew only men who are
certified as to health. Minor disabili
ties, which do not interfere with their
work at sea, are sufficient to prevent
their being certified, it is stated, even
though they are old seamen and are
perfectly satisfactory to the captains.
Recently the schooner Muriel was
unable , to complete her crew on the
harbor' with certified men, and sailed
with several uncertified. A fine of
100 was imposed. The schooner Ed
ward R. West had a similar experience.
but her fine was 200. The latest is
the schooner Fred J. Wood, lumber
laden at Hoquiam for New Zealand.
Her master found it impossible to get
a certified crew either on the harbor
or in Tacoma. If he clears with un
certified men in his crew he will be re
quired to put up . $500 to cover his
fine before he can depart.
Another phase of the new law has
arisen. Under the enw law there is no
way to hold a man who decides to de
sert.
Shetland Isles for Allies Only.

American-Hawaiian Vessel on
Maiden Trip From Atlantic.
EASTERN CARGO COMING
Transshipment Will Be Made at San
lYanclsco; Oriental Voyage Is
Scheduled Portland Agent to
Slake Space Reservations.
Cargo originating at Portland may
be shipped to Oriental ports next month
on the American Hawaiian freighter
Floridan. if sent to San Francisco.
Space reservations will be made by

line? Yesterday he received telegraph
ic advice that the vessel would sail
from the Golden Gate April 15. Inci
dentally, the rates will be from $35 to

The Floridan is the latest addition to
the fleet and was built to replace the
liner Washingtonian. lost off the Dela
ware coast more than a year ago. She

New York February 16 in command of
Captain Nichols. While there is Port
land freight -aboard the ship from New
York, it is proposed to transship that
at San Franciseo on a coaster, so that
she can be loaded for the Far East
without delay.
The telegram to Mr. Kennedy set
forth that she would accept shipments
for Yokohama, Kobe. Shanghai and
Hongkong. It is said heavy cargo will
take the $35 tariff and general mer
chandise the higher charge.
In connection with the future move
ments of the Floridan, she is said to
have been chartered by H. F. Ostrander.
of Seattle, to make two voyages be
tween Puget Sound and Vladivostok

Honolulan, now discharging New York
cargo here, and which sails this after
noon for Puget Sound, was engaged a
few weeks ago to make two voyages
from there to the Russian harbor at
$100,000 a month.
The American-Hawaiian is said to
have received even more attractive of
fers for others of their line, but In view
of the expeted opening of the Canal
next month it is thought some of the
vessels will be retained, yet rates are
such that it is estimated the company
could soon pay for its fleet.

formation that the War Department
