Normal School Expresses Grief. The tacnlty and student body of the State Normal School has adopted res olutions on the death of Miss Opal Hall, the New York teacher of art, a graduate of the State Normal School, and a native of this county, They are : " "Whereas, in the sudden death of Miss Opal Hall, a graduate of the State Normal School, in the class of 1897, we have been bereft of a sym pathetic and helpful friend, a warm hearted cheerful counselor, a spirit guided only by a desire to render ser vice to her friends and to the better ment of the world, and, whereas, by her untiring sseal and her indefatigable labors she won for herself a place of prominence in the educational work of her own state, and later in the broader field of New York, where her influence was constantly increas ing and her work was being more and more fully appreciated and rec ognized, and, whereas, we feel that in her death not only is a loss sus tained by her family, but by her friends here in the State Normal and iii the state at large, as well ; therefore be it "Resolved that the sympathy of the student body and the faculty of the State Normal is extended to the bereaved "parents and sisters, and we hope that the knowledge that her life and work were always of such nature that she brought cheerfulness and help to all with whom she came in contact, will serve as a comforting thought in contemplating the inscrut able mvsteiies of the Infinite.

After this great slide tn the Culebra cut, the Curaracha slide, was dynamited the government owned a real waterway from ocean to ocean. Dredges were at once set to work to clear out the channel, and when this Is done, pro vided there be no further slides, the canal will be ready for navigation. The Culebra cut has been the greatest problem tn the construction of the canal since the French began excavating this section of the ditch thirty years ago It was not merely that the canal bad to be cut through a mountain here nearly 600 feet above the bottom of the waterway but that the treacherous slides had to be cleared out joyed themselves.

TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS Be sure and send in the Christmas eve festivities and if convenient the program that was held in the churches or in the school houses. Mail them so we will receive them not later than Monday evening. THE OBSERVER Creditable to Polk County. Talk about hard times, it is a joke in- Polk County. Out of a tax roll of nearly $300,000 there remains only a little more than $3,250 to be col lected, This is what the sheriff's office gave out to the Observer man on Wednesday. Pfcrcel Post Information. As stated in the Observer some time ago, the parcel post makes some ralical changes commencing with the new year. While no official data has ben given to any decrease in the in the first and second none, there is a , drop in the rate in the rest of the zones, as will be seen in this article. A strange thing about parcel post rates that will be hard to understand (so do not try it) is that in the farthest zones if your parcel is light it is chenper to seal it and send first class. The new ruling is as follows: On and after January 1, the limit of weight on parcels for delivery within a radius of approximately 31)0 miles, or through the local, Hmt and second zones is raised to 50 pounds. For distances greater than 300 miles, or from the third through the eighth zone, the weight limit is increased from 11 to 20 pounds. These rates for the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth nines follow: Third zone Six cents for the first pound and two cents for each addi tional pound or fraction thereof. Fourth zone Seven cents for the first pound and four cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof. Fifth zone Kight cents for. the first pound and six cents for each ad ditional pound or fraction thereof. Sixth zone Nine cents for the first pound and eight cents for each ad ditional pound or fraction thereof. The present rate per pound in the seventh and eighth zones will still be in force for the heavier weight after the first of the year. For de livery in the seventh zone 11 cents is charged for the first pound or frac tion of pound and 10 cents for each additional pound or fraction. For delivery in the eighth zone, 12 cents f j ehsrged for the fimt pound and 12 cents for each additional pound. The insurance fee for.parcels val ued at "i and under is five rents; when valued at over fci! and not ex ceeding t-'iO, the fee is 10 rents. The fee for a C. O. D. parcel is 10 rents, which also insures it against loss in its actual value np to $,". withont additional rout.
