SIIOIVS II017 L1UES AY DE SAVED .... ; . -f a ' Government Official Says-All .Craft Should Have Water tight Bulkheads. - The Different Store . OLDS, VJOimiAtl & ftfJG STORE NEVIS RECENT DISASTERS ILLUSTRATE THE NEED Appalling Lou of Life on the Dia Collision Would Have Been Pre vented and the Steamer Lurllne Would Not Now Be at the Bottom. That every vsssel carrying paasen (era should be equipped with watertight bulkheads la the opinion of a local : prominent official in a branch of the government navy department. He says - had the steamer Dlz been thus equipped the appalling loss of life would never have occurred when she was sunk by the Jeanle, nor would the steamer Lur llne have been lying at the bottom of the Columbia river as a result of col liding with the Cascade, which case la now before Inspectors Edwards and , " Fuller. "Every craft engaged In. the passen ger traf flo should be provided with water tight compartments." he said. "Then in case of collision the boat could be kept afloat anyway long j"enough to give: the passengers a chance Z' to J"t away In the boats. Suppose the Lurllne had gone down in 40 feet of : water Instead of It. What would have been the result? As likely as not every one of those 20 or more passengers J would have been, carried to death. The s steamer sank In three or four minutes . and all that saved the lives was the shallow water of the river. The col II . sion might have happened where the Co lumbia la CO or 100 feet deep and then1 - bow many would have bee saved, the night being dark and foggy, according , to the evidence produced at the hearing.' "It Is believed thst the Lurllne was altghtiy damaged only;, that Is to say the Cascade made a clean cut Into her. j Watertight bulkheads would have pre vented her from sinking, at least aa quickly as she did. I know whereof I " speak for I was floating about In the ., ocean once ol a large liner that would have gone down but for the faot that her watertight bulkheads kept her . afloat. One day the propeller shaft, snapped off clean, allowing the screw to cut a large hole In the hull below the water line. The after compartments . filled Immediately but the' craft kept afloat until we were finally picked up and towed Into port. Without the water - tight - bulkheads nothing could have saved the steamer -and the passengers, of fioers and crew would have had a poor chance for their Uvea. I under : stand a number of the steamers plying between coast ports are not .provided . ' with' . watertight bulkheads and some day another chapter wilt be added to the list or appalling casualties because of man's carelessness.

There was an odd number of pen nies so that If he put an equal nam bar in each of two boxes there woul d be one penny left over; In a Ilka man ner he figured on I. 4, t. . 7. ,-. 16, 11, li. la. 14.

The son gave It up and told his father he thought It Impossible to perform the feat. His father replied: "8KIDOO II. for you." The son then put the entire lot of pen , nles la SI boxes, the sams cumber In each box. How many pennies were there? ' To make the problem plain: The entire number of peonies wss a number, which if divided by any number fro m I to 13 Inclusive there will be a re mainder of one (only one) and If divided by It there will be no remainder.
