It is purely an optical illusion .which goes ' to prove you can't believe all you ee: S There are many things of in- terest about Moncton which. can, not be .told at this time but one thing is certain, much will , be heard of this place, in post war days, as ..,a • .great' centre in. the areonautics of the coming age. all out for • the .

Co. have . their Mail- order •centre for the Mari- time area located here and ,pro- vide work`' for several hundred :.girls. Interspersed with this. may be •found branches of many nation wide business houses who have this point as their centre for the maritime area. In this field •there. • is a gareat 'deal of competition between Moncton and St John: Although inland some distance frim the Bay of Fundy, tie river. is navigable for some fair ' sized craft to this. point. Ofparticular interest is the Tidal Bore which is one of the 'phenomena„ of rid - tire to be found here.. The bore is the forerunner of the advanc- ing tide which rushes in from the Bay of Fundy twice every °24 hours. The tide rises . and .falls approximately sixteen feet at this point . and it is met 'interesting to, -see the . river running ,up- stream and then : in an hour or sb, seeing•it going the other way. The first time or so you rub your eyes to see . if you are awake. Suddenly you remember they told You. there were such -things bark in the little red . schoolhouse, - whether you believed it then or not Usually one. • associates the dykes with Holland or Denmark. But right here in Canada may be found • cases where man hasn't enough land without . robbing the .sea .of some of his, or should I say her's., Anyway the dyke lands do •exist. .The main crop . is: hay or pasture since there is a dif- ficulty of drainage,,oto consider. The dyking is done by a .very' simple process. Usually the• bank of the deepest part, of the river is taken as the ,border line for the dyke land and a bank of earth is thrown up ranging .from six to ten feet in height. Occasionally where water flow might eat out the , bank posts or planks are used to protectthe action of the tide water in the river. At inter- vals ditches are dug to. drain this land which naturally is quite level. Where they come to the dyke there is a swing gate made of heavy plank Which is -hinged at the top. These act as a check valve so that When IOW tide is on, the water from the dykelartds drains out; .then at high tide the gates close holding the water out. By this simple method the drain- age is taken care of. 1VXost of you . who . have read your geography are familiar with still another phenomena of Mon- cton district, the famous' "Mag- netic Hill".
