A number of property owners of
Burlington street were present in an
endeavor to have that street im
proved without further delay. Mr.
Aycr, of the St. Johns Lumber Co.,
acted as spokesman, and he said
otic of the things St. Johns most
badly needed was at least one good
roadway to the water front and to
the south and cast parts of the city.
tie uciicvcu it poor policy to im
prove witli anything but hard snr
face, since there was so little differ
ence between it and macadam.
While he was particularly anxious
tliat a good stiect be constructed
from the water front up, yet he said
lie did not care if it be Burlington,
Salem, or some other good grade
street. He believed that one good
street in each direction would prove
of wondrous benefit to the city, ami
a good Investment if a little excess
cost had to be taken care of out of
the general fund. Alderman Hill
stated that the water front was
really the city's "meal ticket," and
a good roadway to it was a dire tie
cessity. Aldermen Hiller, Vnlen
tine and Davis also were heartily
hi favor of the improvement of
Burlington street, since the eiigiti
cer bad estimated the greatest ex
cess would be no more than $745
Alderman Horsman, however,
disapproved of it 011 the ground that
it was poor policy, to take money

street improvement. However, on
motiou of Mr. Hill a resolution was
adopted to improve Burlington
from in front of the city hall to
Bradford street with concrete pave
ment. A resolution directing the engin

stand for this improvement.
A directory resolution to improve
Ivanboe street from Richmond to

Alderman Hiller suggested that
since the city had decided to change
the name of several streets, all trac
es of the old names should be re
moved from the sidewalks and new
signs be placed on all the streets.
Mr. Hill also favored the idea as a
splendid one. The engineer was
directed to make a report along
this liue.

Too Much Obstruction
Editor Review; Last Sunday at
tlie M. Iv. church in the afternoon,
Memorial Services were held in hon
or of the men who went out iu the
'60s to hold up the honor of
our flag and keep the nation
from being rent in twain. There
was a good number of G. A. R.and
W. R. C. there to hear the story
that has been told so often and we
hope it may always be totd in as
glowing terms to the youth of our
laud as it was last Sunday. But
I could not help but think if our
boys iu blue would have had to
shoot at the enemy through so much
straw and feathers as those who
sat on the rear seats were obliged
to try to look through iu order to
see the speaker, they never
would have hit a man. Hoping
this may help at some future gath

so the people iu the rear may be
able to see, I am yours truly,

Hurton's account from "Tho Falo of
Henry of Navarro" of tho scene when
Itavalllac, tho assassin of the king,
had, after shocking torture, been torn
asunder by wild horses: "Tho execu
tioner lind begun to dismember hlin
and was about to cast lit remains Into
thu second caldron when tho vast
crowd prevented htm from doing so.
They each required a portion of tho
body of tho king's assassin, nnd most
of them obtained one. That night
many bon tires blar.ed Iu and around
Paris, nnd In their midst wero con

RIGHT HAND RULE.
Th Way It Is Applied In Driving and
In Navigation.
London's drivers, sitting ou the right
sldo of the driver's sent, turn to tho
left. Why? In order that looking
down nt the right side of tho vehicle
they may gnugo to a fraction of an
Inch tho hubs of n vehicle meeting
them. In tho United States thu driver
still preserves the right side of the
cat and In turning to tho right of the
roadway has the least knowlcdgo of
whero tils bubs may be In passing.
Hut In International navigation the
right hand rules always obtain. It Is
tho narrow channel winding Into 11
port whero the extrcmcst of emphasis
Is laid upon tho vessel keeping to star
board, no matter how many crooks and
turns nnd loops the channel may rnnlie.
This was Illustrated Iu a collision on
the Whangpoo river, In Chlnn. when
tho Pekln nnd the Normnndlu collided.
Tho Normniidlo was descending the
stream, keening to starboard. Tho
j Pekln was ascending tho channel,
keeping to Its starboard. At a siinrp
turn In tho channel the two boats
collided. Tho Pekln' master declared
that owing to the shnrp bend In the
river It was a "crossing" ense. In which
the Normniidlo wns to blnme.
In tho houso of lords, however, It
was held that the right of any chaniiol
of any degreo of sinuosity lay at tho
right of the channel's center; tlmt,
therefore, when tho Pekln fnlled to
observe the rulo In the sharp bend and
"cut across" it became an offender
against tho law nnd must pay dnni
ages. Chlcngo Tribune.

Dr. Francis Clark told an Interesting
story of n youth living in Mnlno who
was out in thu woods 0110 dny taking
photographs of nttructlvu lilts of scen
ery. He catiio upon tho mouth of n llt
tlo cavern between tho rocks, nud hit
said to himself. "I will see what sort
of picture I cau get out of that cave,"
and ns It was n dark day he decid
ed to take n "time- exposure" In
stend of n "snapshot." Steadying the
cuiucrn upon his kueo ns well as ho
could at the edgu of the cave, he novo
the sensitive plato a lung, dullbenito
look at thu scmldurkues within. Then
lie continued hi tramp through the
woods and after n few hour returned
to hi camp.
Several weeks afterward, when de
veloping his plates, you can Imagine
his astonishment to sco In the picture.
