We think It is of.en a great mistake to
imp'rrt outside speakers to address
gatherings on public issues, Both

former received a respectful hearing the

St. Petersburg, Florida
The following interesting particu-
lars concerning St. Petereburg, Flor-
ida, where a number from this locality
were Wintering, is sent THE PORT by
Mrs, Louise Lunn, nurse, formerly of
Brussels, who has a Detroit patient
there :—
St. Petersburg is situated on the
soutberu•most point of the Pinellas
Peninsula fur Pincilae County) 270
miles South from Jacksonville. This
Peninsula is the interrogation point
of the State -upside-down, thrusting
its Inquiring outline some forty miles
between the Gulf of Megieo and
Tampa Bay. The town ie beautifully
altuated on a gentle elope rising forty
feet above the level of the Bay, and
extends backward in the form of a
parallelogram.
Fanned by soft winds blowing from
Gulf and Bay, tempering the war ntth
of Summer and banishing Winter's
chill ; with nights cool and pleasant :
with almost every day an "outdoors"
day ; with the purest artesian water
for drinking it is no wonder that
physical we I -being rises to tate high•
est mark in St. Petersburg, The city
has an excellent system of sanitation,
health rules are rigidly enforced, and
streets, alleys, and grounds are kept
in an admirably neat and clean condi-
tion.
The natural scenery of the Piecilas
Peninsula must be imagined until the
traveller comes to gee it for himself.
Tall pines towering solemnly, sentinel
green palms, waterscapes of little
lakes and bayous corning unexpected-
ly into view as some wooded corner is
rounded. The big blue Bay and roll-
ing Gulf—ail have been described,
They are the scenes of warmth and
beauty that dwellers in frozen
countries hang upon their walls and
love to look upon—that smile antic•
ingly at the traveler from the covers
of guide books and the pages of travel
magazines. But when you come here,
you are living right in the picture—a
part of your world of dreams and de•
etre—in a land of "balmy and breath-
ing music of the South."

and papayas or "paw -paw," bananas

moner citrus fruit trees, such as
orange, grapefruit, lime and Lemon.
Tall patens grow here, and the mag-
nolia, of glossy leaf and immense,
fragrant, creamy blossoms, with oaks
and many evergreens. Some of the
vines are perfect curtains of glowing
colors—the purple bougainvillea, the
orange, and red bignonia and trumpet
flower, the white and yellow jasmine,
and the golden allemandes, St. Pet,.

vivid green and red poinsettia,
Hibiscus and poincianas, many -hued
oleanders, rubber trees, and cacti are

fume of orange blossoms is every-

Government by commission was
adopted by the city in 1913. The
governing board consists of a Mayor
and seven commissioners.
The water supply of St. Petersburg
is from never failing artesian wells,
pure and palatable. The city owns
the water -works, and also the gas
plant.
In the city there are three brick or
stone garages; novelty and wood-
working plants; two ice and cold
storage planta ; machine shops and
marine ways : fruit, vegetable, and
fish -packing houses, wholesale groc-
ery, grain and fertilizers ; large cem-
ent and concrete plants ; tobacco face
tory ; and shops of alt descriptions.

upon an admirable pack site, fronting
a clear blue lake, about the center of
the town.
Bathing in the still water of St.
Petersburg's beautiful beach, or in the
surf at Pass -a -Grille Island is a favor-
ite diversion of reeidents and tourists.
There are few days when it is too cool
to enjoy the water—frequently on
Christmas day may be seen many
bathers thus disporting. The muni-
cipal pier on the North beach, extends
from a perfect hard, white beach,
1,400 feet into the bay, provides amply
for a trolley way, and an automobile
drive for pedestrians. Here is found
the'flnest bathhouse in Florida, fur-
niehing hot, cold, salt and sulphur
