It is predfcted for the kinetophone that real flesh end blood actors on many stages to the various theatres throughout the country will soon be a thing of the past, to judge from the little gasps of astonishment and the chorus of "ian t that something wonderful 'r" that one hears on all sides wherever the pictures are exhibited. 'Phe kinetophone may be called an im- mense success. Soon Have Whits Way Goderich will be lighted from the bydto-electric lamps very seen.

"We have everything ready here. with the exception of the Square." continued Mr- Gould, "but the trouble is that the commission hale not com- menced putting up its wires yet." However. he thought that it was a short job and be fully expected to see everything complete in a, very short time.

With blowouts and delays they did not get back to town until Thursday morbing. it is rumored that they went to. make some arrangements regarding the Ontario Weat Shore railway. It has also been acid that they were at- tempting to travel over the heretofore unused but rusty tails of this now famous railway, with the object in view of demonstrating to their friends that the road so far as itis constructed is of material benefit—to automobiles.
