Phew! 
’Ot, hain’ tit: 
Keep cool—enjoy the BREEZE. 
Speaking of the weather, the polit- 
ical pot is beginning to boil. ’Bout 
time to roll up your shirt-sleeves. 
And the circus! Well, it’s over, 
and North Shore folk seemed to have 
enjoyed it. That is, those who went 
enjoyed it. But they didn’t turn out 
like they do in Newport. It wasn’t 
exactly a “society circus,’ and _per- 
haps there’s where the trouble lies. 
A real society circus would take here 
in good shape, and we do not hesitate 
to predict that the North Shore will 
some day have the society circus as 
one of the social events of the season. 
See what they are doing down in 
Newport every summer. Charity gets 
a snug little income each year from 
the circus, and there is no reason why 
charity should not be gifted here on 
the North Shore with the proceeds 
from a society circus, which we feel 
confident would be well supported. 
To Our Readers, 
We would like to say just a word to 
our readers at this time, calling atten- 
tion to some of the special features 
which we are giving. We have spoken 
of our news stories before. Today 
we would simply mention a few of 
the good things we shall give from 
now on in the line of magazine arti- 
cles, by writers who are authorities in 
their line and who are contributors to 
well-known magazines. The articles 
which we are giving, and which we 
propose to give, are in line with our 
original purpose—that of making the 
BREEZE a news-magazine representa- 
tive of the North Shore. 
This week we give to our readers an 
article by W.S. C. Russell, upon the 
geological formation of the shore line 
along the North Shore. 
We also have an article of special 
interest at this time upon the carriage 
road up Mt. Washington, by Chester 
F. Stiles. Mr. Stiles is a member of 
the Appalachian club, and is widely 
known by his contributions to moun- 
tain photography, especially in winter. 
Later, we hope to have some articles 
by the same writer on ‘The White 
Mountains in Winter.” 
Next week we begin a series upon 
“The Arctic Regions,” by Mr. Rus- 
sell. Another interesting feature next 
week will be the first in our series of 
trolley tours. These tours are written 
specially for the BREEzE by Mr. 
Stiles, who was formerly assistant 
editor of one of the leading photo- 
graphic magazines, and is now con- 
nected with the Photo Miniature. 
Mr. Stiles has travelled all over the 
State by trolley, and his contributions 
will be of great moment to all inter- 
ested in trolley trips. 
Ulysses G. Haskell, 
‘‘A prophet is not without honor 
save in his own country,” is a quota- 
tion familiar to all and one which is 
generally true. So when honor is ac- 
corded to one in his own country, in 
his own home community, it is a great 
honor and one which holds a marked 
significance: 
During the past week, Ulysses G. 
Haskell, a man whose home since his 
boyhood days has been in Beverly, 
who is known and has been known all 
his life by the people of Beverly, has 
received the unanimous endorsement 
of the Republican city committee and 
of the Republican club, composed of 
over 300 members, in his candidacy 
for district attorney. 
If there had been any act in his 
past career which would cause lack of 
confidence in his ability, or fitness to 
perform the duties of this responsible 
position, surely it would be known to 
those who have lived with him since 
boyhood. 
The hearty and unanimous endorse- 
ment given Mr. Haskell by the citizens 
of his native city is the strongest tes- 
timonial that he could have and should 
without doubt havea marked influence 
upon the voters of the entire district. 
SONG OF THE JAPANESE NAVY. 
(Shoichi Toyama.) 
iff 
Ho! banner of the Rising Sun that glitters 
in the dawn! 
Ho! warriors of the Empire, now let your 
swords be drawn! 
Proud Samurai! ye e’er have been our 
nation’s pride and boast. 
Rise! rise, as in the days of old, defend our 
ancient coast, 
That never yet has been despoiled by any 
foreign foe,— 
Our shores that stretch for countless miles 
from Kurile to Loochoo. 
Though great and strong and many the 
enemy’s warships be, 
Go bravely forth to meet them and sink 
them in the sea! 
LL. 
The gallant sons of Nippon are born by 
Heaven’s grace 
To have no fears, nor any peers in all the 
Asian race. 
Inured from childhood to the sea, they dare 
all winds that blow ; 
In midst of roaring billows they rush to meet 
the foe. 
Though great and strong and many the 
enemy’s warships be, 
Go bravely forth to meet them and sink 
them in the sea! 
Ill, 
For loving wives and children dear we 
venture far at sea; 
The storms may rage, the billows rise— 
Undaunted still are we! 
Why fear we foreign warships—we who are 
ready to die? 
“For Mikado and our country,” shall be 
our battle cry. 
Though great and strong and many the 
enemy’s warships be, 
Go bravely forth to meet them and sink 
them in the sea! 
IV. 
Our fathers sailed in frailest crafts, and 
swooped on hostile shores ; 
Strange peoples feared, and called them 
gods—those dauntless sires of yours. 
If ye the spirit of those sires inherit and 
retain, 
Prepare for fight, defend phe right, and 
guard our loved domain. 
Though great and strong and many the 
enemy’s warships be, 
Go bravely forth and meet them and sink 
them in the sea! 
ia 
The trumpet sounds and, hark! the boom 
from cannon’s brazen lips; 
Our boys are rallying to the guns, they man 
our armored ships. 
If there be enemies that dare invade our 
loved domain, 
Come they o’er myriad miles, ye shall 
chastise them home again. 
The banner of the Rising Sun shall float 
above the free, 
And Nippon be the mistress still of all the 
Eastern Sea. 
JOSEPH A. TORREY, 
in Boston Transcript.
