The alarm rang at 7 o'clock and the brigade were at work in a very Eery minutes, and from the first sound of the bell until a large stream was thrown, only eight ulul- ates elapsed. The test was interrupted by the hose breaking in three differ- ent ier- entplaces, when the Inspector thought it better to shun down and defer the test until better hose can be procured. The hose is new and guaranteed to stand300pounds pressure,while on this occasion the pressure was about fifty pounds only. It was a fortunate thing to discover the imperfect hose at a test instead•of a fire. The Inspector sug- gests the placing of two large tanks 1,000 feet apart, in the business port- ion of the town,each sufficiently large to keep the engine working for two hourst With this addition and the securing of reliable hose, our ' appli- ances arezeconsideredsufficient for class E. ; otherwise we will remain in class F. We suggest that the Council take immediate action to carry ' out the above requirements. • A.

Gerrish, the talented Muskegon vocalist,were placed on sale in the music stores in this city Fri- day. Mrs. Gerrish is rapidly winning. an enviable standing among the. writers of instrumental music. She is well known as a vocalist and promises to be none the less so as composer. One of her productions is a waltz en- titled "E Viva Cuba." It is Oriental in its style and possessed of a peculiar- ly pleasant swift, gliding movement. One two-step composed byMrs,Gerrisli bids fair to become extremely popular, It is called "The American Boys of TS" and is as thrillingly martial as it is possible for any air to be. Another is the "Lake Harbor Hotel two-step." This pretty air is just the nature and has just the movement to make it fill all the requirements of a tune to.ac- company a dance upon the 'veranda of a summer hotel, Professor Wellen - stein speaks very highly' of the merits of Mrs. Gerrish's works." -- Grand Rapids Democrat, Madam Jabarr, the Greatest Living t ,ader of Phrenologyand Palmistry, is now' in the Villae by special re- quest.
