SYDNEY BOWS TO DECORATE HARBOR?
LONDON, Jan. 31. Commander Glenny, K.N., lately of the cruiser Sydney, to which he was very warmly attached, has suggested that the bows of the vessel could be cut off abaft the foremast by oxyaacetvlene process, which is not costly, and erected permanently at Mrs. Macquarie's chair. , , To suggests that a flagstaff, flying the White Ensign, be retained. Every ship in the Jgfcbor then could see aud salute it. Commander Glenny points out, incidentally, that this part of the ship is historic, because the Emdon's single dud shell went straight through the bridge, and took off the range finder's leg. Had the shell exploded it would probably have killed' nearly ill the officers.
