About the 2ad and Ord ecteatoriel storms of great energy, et:peel:illy in the south, are predicted. At the close of this and other March perieds, look for blizzardous cleanges to high nor- therly gales, with coll wavea sweep- ing from the northwest. A reactions my storm period folio on the Oth, 7th itp- 'and, 8tb, evith indications that unsete tied, if not stormy weather, may fill mach of the time between the first and the third seems period*: a the . month. A. regular storm period extends n oto the 10th to 15th. On the central day of this period, the 12th, tho ietcton is on the celestial equator and be peri- gee. It is in conjunction with earth and sun on the llth, the exact center of the greatest magnetie and electric perturbation of the whole yeer. Watch the llth to 14th 1 A blizzard' out of the northwest will be natural. A reectionary storm period is cen- tral on the l7th, 18th and 19t1, with moon at extreme north declination. This period is near the center of both tbe earth and. the Mars equinoxes. It is a coincidence not seen in ages that they thould fall exaetly together on March 210,t. Violent storms may or may not occurat this. time, but on and touching the lith, 18th and 19th is another time .to exercise calm and prudent watchfulness. Change to high barometer and much colder will come out of the northwest behind • these storms. A -regular storm period, as full of storm possibilities as any in the month, isne;tral on the 24th, extend- ing from the 22nd to 270. Tropical storms of the nature of hurricanes and tornadoes will be natural southward, with a boreal counterpart of blizzards of sleet and snow to the nortbward. The crisis of. this period will strike progreesively from west to east from 24th to 27th. 'Within three days of noon on the 25th is another very marked seismic period. Earthquakes in various sections of the globe, both At this period and frora March 9th to 15th, will most likely be attended Jey abnormal magnetic and electric cure rents. A general and severe cold wave for Mareh will most likely come out of the northwest. It will touch most parts of the country between 25th and 20111. A reactionary storm period centers on the 30th and 81st, and prolonged etorms of rain, sleet and snow should e not be surprising during the last week ASA March. - The Venus, Earth and Mars pextur- bations all -begin in February, and continue through March and into Ap- ril. Remember that the Mars influ- ence prolongs conditions existing when be enters, and look into April for much the same storms and weather experienee'd late in Febreary. The Pringle By -Law. .1••••10*1...W A USEFUL MEASURE. Wed Huron's Member Would Mond 'The immigration Act The Ottawa Evening Citizen of Feb - rimy Oth, eentained the following article in reference to a 13111 intronue- ed by Mr: B. N. Lewis, M. P. for West Huron 2— There is no member of the house, who brings in more useful bills than Mr. R. N. Lswis, At, P. Ilefortnnate- le, being ou the opposition side hIs walk is principally edacative, as the government usually kills them off on the score of being "pretreat:ire," or for. some •other reason. His latest pro- posal is a bill to amend the Inn -Agree tion act by preventtug the exposure for sale of revolvers and knives. While the intention is to discourage the belief aneong newly arrived immi- grants neat the carrying of these Wea- pons is permitted, in Canada, such an enactment would be of general benefit to every community, It is strange that, in a law abiding country such as this, there is scarcely a hardware store whose windows are not a, mini- ature arsenal of revolvers and sheath knives. Considering that none but bunters have any legitimate use for sheath knives, and •that nobody is supposed to carry revolvers except the police, the prominence given to these articles in shop windows is most mis- leading, and is no doubt responsible for tempting young Canadians and foreigners to purcbase and early them, who would otherwise' •never think of it. In any city or town in Canada the carrying of a loaded revole vet. or a sheath knife should be suffici- ent to convict a defendant of criminal Intent. They are not •necessary for defence, and therefore must be car- ried for purposes of offence. As a rule they are found on the persons of roughs or criminate who have Item ar- rested on other charges, which makes the prohibition still more binding, and they should be given tbe limit of the _law, instead of being let off with the confiscation of the weapon or it com- paratively small fine. To the Editor of the Advance. ri.EAR SID reply to Mr. Gur- ney's communication of last week, would state that I truly feel a very email pebble upon the beach, to take any part in this gitestion at stake. I Item no glove mandate, but, you know sometimes the small things of this world are used to confound the migh- ty, and further, we working Men are taking as keen an interese in this question as the rich and infteential. Through the courtesy of our Town Olerk, 1 have read very darefully the Pringle by-law. Ur. Gurney men- tioned one clause; will you allow we to mention one he omitted to men- tion, viz,e'That the said W. 1). Prin- gle will rebuild and itnprove his form er manufacturing industry." And that industry, sir, we claim, was tannery and glove works. The first communi- cation din not state that Mr. Pringle owned the sewing machines, but the other' tnacleinety such as tables, pul- leys, shafting, transmitters, and all power connections, without which the sewing machines would be mare, un - lees run by foot power. Mr. Gurney states that he never asked favors from the town. Neither did Mr. Pringle but Wee approached by members of 4r. the Column, eeking hint to consider the question of a loan. Here is &cope of n. temintion ;sassed by the Town Council, July Intle 1000, and tertilled to be correct by S. In Groves, Cletk "Moved by Come Elliott, secorided by Conn.

A large number of very ine- portant matters were brought up for dimussion, It was the consensas of Opinion that the time had arrived wimp the business men and citizens generally eleould take a greater hiter- eat in the welfare and growth of tbe town, It was felt that with the re- vival of business and trade through- out the country at, the present time, a strong *Mort should he' made not only to retain what interests we have but that inducements should be offer- ed to secure new industries. A com- mittee was formed to locate and ob- tain options upon properties suitable for the locatien of factories or other interests, and to confer with the Town Council in regard to advertising for the establishment of new industries, The Board passed a resolution in favor of a continuous electric service and appointed a committee to consult witb the commissioners in regard to the advisability of the same.

Wingham tied up district No. 1 in the Northern Hockey League by de- feating the Harriston team on their otvu ice, on Friday of last week, by a score 7-4. Half time score was 5-2. The game was one of the roughest and hardest fought games of the season. Harriston scored the first goal a few mirrutes after the start, but Wingham quickly evened up, and then drew away, scoring five goals before the hall; Marlett mewed three, McGilli- vray one and McLean one. Harriston scored their second just before the bell rang. The second half was rather faster boekey than the first, the cham- pions doing the rushing, but could not score owing to the brilliant work of Goal -keeper Thompson. Harriston scored first in this half, Bates scoring on a long lift. McLean scored twice for Wingham and Harriston got their- final goal eater time was up, Referee Begley not bearing the time- keepers bell.
