The house is a two-and-a-half-story frame building and the bolt struck the front end of the Toof. When the lighting struck there was no one in the house, Mrs. Edwards and child having gone to a neighbor's during the storm. The flash was im- mediately followed by a deafening crash. Several neighbors saw the bolt as it struck the roof. As soon as the bolt struck smoke could be seen issuing from the roof and some- one rushed down the hill to the box and pulled in the alarm.

Officers to command those ships will be needed. The boys of the United States Junjor Naval Reserve will then be in line to rec ve such appointments. Each boy is trained in military tactics—in fact the camp is conducted along military lines. There is a guardhousé and guards are maintained through hours of day and night. At the cxpiration of their term in camp the 60 odd beys who are to be the product of the movement have sufficient knowledge of wer any call that 3 sued for servi n the navy.

Beside the wharf is a long strip of land which affords ample space for boatbuilding or other shops, as well as for aquatic sports and training. Will Close in September. Camp Dewey was opened July 14, and while the da\; of closing has not been definitely set, it wil probably be around the middle of September. Thirty-seven boys living in Brooklyn and’ the Bronx, who had been sched- uled to join those now in camp, at the time of going into camp were barred because of the infantile par- alysis epidemic in New York. The boys in camp come from points as far distant as Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Utica, Canapohorie, N. Y., and many different parts of New England. The encampment ground also holds a place in history, for on one of the higher slopes near the water's edge is a large rock in which a bolt and ring have been driven. According to tradition the ring was used to fasten one end of a wire cable which ex- tended across the river to Fort De- catur. The cable was pisced in po- sition to prevent the British ships from proceeding farther up the river at the time of the Revolutionary war, and to give an opportunity for the fort to shell them from its position, fully 2 hundred feet above. 8,000 Members in United States.
