OH ON THE OCEAN WAVE
XAVAXj RECRUITING STATION opess
TOMORROW IX PORTLAND.
Apprentices and Yennjc Men Wanted
to Man Uncle Sam's Bis Battlesnips
Examinations Begin Monday,
Examinations for service In the United
States Navy -will begin tomorrow morn
ing at the local recruiting office in the
Poatoffice building. Lieutenant C. R. Mil
ler will be In charge, assisted by Dr.
Rarph Taylor, examining surgeon, and
Master-at-Arms F. Josephson:
The United States Navy Is calling for
recruits, the class desired, above all, being
young men and boys with good recom
mendations and the consent of parents.
No one can enlist without the best of
recommendations from his former em
ployer or a public officer of some kind.
Apprentice boys are first placed at a
training station, where they prepare them
selves for sea-going ships, and also finish
their common school education. After
seven months' study they are taken upon
a training-ship for a cruise, to get their
"sea legs." They are given a chance to
show what Is in them, and they are ad
vanced as rapidly as circumstances will
will allow.
Apprentices have to face an examination
ev.ery three months, and are advanced ac
cordingly. With their advancement their
pay Increases, and not only hive they the
advantage of the finest training, but their
board and lodging are furnished, and for
the first year their clothing in addition
to their pay.
Boys receive $9 per month, with an in
crease every year, after the first year, of
515. Berore their apprenticeship Is com
pleted they receive SCO per month If they
have passed all the necessary examina
tions. Their term expires at the age of 2L
Young men from 18 to 23 and others
enlist for four years. If they have re
mained In the service for that length of
time they are very likely to remain for
another term, and the Government is sat
isfied to leave it to the boys themselves
whether they will give further service.
From that time onward they have a rapid
rise if they have established their fitness,
and at the end of a few years their nav
1 will greatly exceed that of many of their
01a scnoolmates on shore.
If they decide to try the land once more
they aye fitted for any one of a long
list of vocations. Their training has not
been misspent, and they have seen much
of the world." Training schools and ships
are no longer a punishment for refractory
boys. Manly young men, boys with am
bition for advancement are wanted to
man and command Uncle Sam's naval ves
sels. The type of apprentice Is high.
Many people do not understand much as
to the routine of a boy training on the
schoolships In the Navy. The, following
boyish and enthusiastic letter from a
Denver youth to his loving Vdad" came
unsolicited to the hands of Mr. Josephson
while he was In Denver a few months
ago. The letter Is graphic and truthful,
and will give those youths who contem
plate enlistment an Insight Into the meth
ods In vogue on the ships sailing with
Uncle Sam's ensign floating in the breeze.
Here Is the letter:
Pasadena, CaL Dear Father: I sup
pose you have been wondering why I did
not write. Well, you see. a week ago we
were called out on a week's cruise on the
ship Alert, and so unexpectedly, that I
not have, time to write you or mama
or anyone else. While on the ship. I did
not have much time, as I will explain
later.
You remember I wrote you how we have
been working In sections, where they take
a certain lot of boys for a week's spe-,
clal drill. On the ship they call it
watches." My number was 381. r looked
It up and found I was the Captain's or
derly. There were three others besides me.
We were on four hours and off 12.
There were lots of new things to learn
and we had to attend strictly to business
while on duty. The main thing was al
ways to be at your post, ready at a sec
ond's notice. I was always there and l
believe they appreciate it. We steamed
around San Francisco, and anchored oft
a small town near the Golden Gate, where
the ocean starts. They call It the "Head"
and they-ave a fine fort there. Every
thing went along very nicely to the last
of the cruise, and we have for dinner cof
fee, beef, a kind of stew, butter, and best
of .all hardtack. It is funny stuff but
very nourishing each cake the size of a
cracker, only thicker and hard.
I was out to Pacific Grove two weeks
ago Sunday, visiting. They took me on a
l-mlle drive along the ocean. It was just
fine. Those big waves look like mountains.
I had a fine time. That was my second
shore leave, so you see I have behaved
myself since I came here. Say, father,
you remember how all the boys said I
would wish I had never heard of the
Navy. Well, you tell them I like It bet
ter every day. You know I meant business
when I Joined, and I know if I stick to It,
It will make a man of me. I had to report
every half hour and every hour, and when
the captain- rang' a bell I would have to
take off my hat and walk quietly Into
his office and stand at attention, until he
spoke to me. When he was through I
would say: "Aye, aye, sir," and you must
not forget the "sir." Sometimes I -wonder
if I will ever berthe one to give the order,
and somd one to say: "Aye, aye, sir," to
me. Now, don't laugh, father. You know
I came here for business, and I find that
the boys who come with a, fixed purpose
and determination to succeed get to the
front and never regret coming.
I wrote you about our drill and our wig
wag alphabet. You want to know just
what we do every day. When the bugle
sounds at 6 A. M., we all jump out of
our hammocks, roll up our blanke'ts,
put them in the hammocks, roll them up.
and tie them with rope. Then we put
the lashed-up hammocks in boxes, where
they can't be seen. Next we run downstairs-
and get our soap and towels. Then
the bugle sounds to "line up" in our dif
ferent sections, and we each have a dif
ferent place to go. Washroom, shower
bath and swimming pool when we get
through we play around until breakfast,
after which we go to cleaning up the halL
It Is then 8 o'clock.
We then change Into our clean clothes,
and shine our shoes ready for Inspection.
We have a body exercise. We next have a
rest of about ten minutes. Then each
section gets some of the different drills.
Bach drill is about one hour, with ten
minutes' rest between: until dinner time.
We get plenty of good stuff to eat. Pie at
every meal. After dinner, drill Is continued
until 4 o'clock. We are drilled In boat
ing, swords, seamanship,, gun school, gun
nery, artillery, shooting-gallery, hammock
inspection and bag inspection. Then they
examine our clothes. It keeps us busy
After 4 P. M. we scrub our clothes, then
play until supper. .After supper, we can
play, read in the library, or write until
bedtime, 9 o'clock. There Is a lot to learn
about one of these big guns. I will tell
"ou more about them later. Well, father,
t enjoyed the week on the Alert, and hope
the next time we will go out on the Pa
cific for a few days. I suppose I will be
seasick, though.
I guess I have written you about enough
this time. Tell Mac that he had better
practice boxing with George Ia Shell be
fore I come home next Summer. The drill
we have puts our muscles In fine shape.
It will be a proud trip for me on my first
leave of absence, next FalL Good-bye.
Write soon. Your loving son.

Kciv York a Foreign City.
Harper's Weekly.
The 230th anniversary of .the reception
of a charter by the City of New York
was regarded -with mixed feelings by the
descendants of" those -who .controlled the
town up to the great influx of Irish and
German Immigrants in 1S4S. In the Bor
ough of Manhattan, the native whites
both of whose parents were born in the
United States now constitute only 16.9
per cent of 'the population. Even of the na
tive whites born of native parents only
about two-thirds were born In the State
of New York. The largestcontingent of
outside natives came from the New Eng
land States, and, btiriously enough, there
were more immigrants coming to the City
of New York from the Southern than
from the Middle or far Western States.
Not only are the native born children of
native Americans vastly outnumbered by
those who are foreign born or the children
of foreign immigrants, but the racial
nature of the foreign element is material
ly changing. Instead of being almost ex
clusively Irish and German, as it was 50.
or even 40, years ago, the Irish born are
now fewer by nearly 2L.0Q0 than they were
12 years ago. and the Germans fewer by
upwards of 50CO. The increase of the for
eign born during the last decade has come
almost entirely from Russia, Italy and the
Hapsburg dominions. As the birth rate
among the newcomers Just mentioned Is
incomparably higher than that among the
native born who were children of native
parents, it looks as If. 50 years hence, the
native American element would dwindle
to a-very small fraction of the metropoli
tan population. They will doubtless con
tinue, however, to possess a greatly dis
proportionate share of the city's wealth.
As for the so-called Knickerbockers, they
are likely to be nearly extinct by the end
cf another generation.
NOTABLE PHILADELPHIANS
Moacs King, of New York, Issues
a Xotable Boole
It will be Interesting to the great num
bers of Pennsylvanlans. and especially
Phlladelphlans, . living In this and other
cities of the Pacific Coast, to know that
a new book, "Philadelphia and Notable
Phlladelphlans," has just been published
by Moses King, of New York, to tell all
that Is worth telling about the great
typical American city of William Penn
and his Quakers. In addition to native
Pennsylvanlans in, this section, there are
many Easterners to whom the book
would be of especial value. The pictures
of famous men who have made Phila
delphia from the time Penn landed until
the present, are portrayed with the ac
curacy and finish of a photograph. In
fact, there are so many pictures of emi
nent men and familiar spots and his
torical buildings In Philadelphia that the
book Is a marvel of completeness.
"Philadelphia and Notable Phlladel
phlans" Is a notable book, from mechani
cal, artistic and literary standpoints. It
comprises over 230 pages, 15 by 10 inches.
Rich, heavy glossed paper Is used, bound
in Nile green and gold buckram. It is
a work of art, and Is not only an orna
ment to the reading-table of private
homes, but is useful as a book of refer
ence in educational and public Institu
tions generally. There are 2552 illustra
tions, 1560 portraits, and 590 views, all
brought up to the year 1902. The gallery
of portraits Is a wonderful one, Mr.
King, who has won distinction as a pub
lisher of books about various cities,
worked for more than one year In Phila
delphia preparing his book. Nearly all
the views and portraits presented were
especially taken for the book, and great
care must have been taken In the re
production. Excellent discrimination has
been shown In the choice of eminent Phll
adelphlans, so as to exclude those not en
titled to the honor.
On the frontiis piece are representations
of the venerable liberty Bell that rung
out the news of the American Revolution
from Independence Hall, Chestnut street,
between Fifth and Sixth, and also Will
iam Penn, the founder of the city. A
shorthlstorical and descriptive sketch of
the city follows, by Talcott Williams, In
which the writer faithfully and clearly
describes the causes which led to" Phila
delphia becoming the typical native Amer
ican city of this continent. Mr. Williams
says in part: "In colonial days, tanning
began in' Philadelphia. Shoes were ear
liest made for more than local use. Here
began the wool trade. Here beer was
first brewed, and here the printing press
began In more than one tongue. When
the Revolution came, the city was com
pact of all the strands of later National
life. Its statehouse was the one Impos
ing secular building of the 13 colonies.
. . . The first 4ff years of the last cen
tury. In -which Philadelphia seemed to
be losing headway,vwere the years which
above all others made her staunch and
American. The tide of newcomers flowed
to New York, and Philadelphia became
the one Northern city In which the native-born
American was in an overwhelm
ing majority."
Many of the pictures have been taken
from rare boks and paintings such as
the representation of William Penn open
ing a treaty inv 1682 with the Indians, at
what is now Philadelphia; the city viewed
from the treaty tree in the year ISOO
a locality afterward famous as being the
site of Cramps' shipyard, where the first
ships of the present United States Navy
were built; old Second street, the State
house In 1778. Center Square water-works,
at Broad and Market streets, where the
present City Hall is built; the old Ma
sonic Hall, dedicated 1811r the HIbernIa
engine-house; a photograph from Trum
bull's picture of the. signing of the Dec
laration of Independence, the Blue An
chor Inn, the Swedes' Church, the Chew
mansion at Germantown, where the unex
pectedly strong - resistance of the Ameri
cans decided one of the bloodiest bat
tles of the Revolution; the present City
Hall, the new United States mint, the
great stations of the Pennsylvania and
Reading Railroads, National Exchange
Exposition buildings. Philadelphia bourse,
Franklin Institute, the great modern sky
scrapers, such as the United Gas and
Girard Trust buildings; University of
Pennsylvania buildings. Drexel Institute,
numerous church buildings, river scen
ery on the Delaware and Schuylkill,
views of far-famed Fairmount Park, old
Germantown Academy, Christ Church,
where Presidents Washington and Adams
worshipped; Carpenters Hall, where the
first Continental Congress met In 1774;
Betsy Ross house, Bartram's house, Penn
cottage, St. George's Methodist Episcopal
Church, the oldest Methodist Church
building In the world. David Rittenhouse
home, Benedict Arnold's mansion, John
