TREMOR FELT 'HERE, • The earthquake which was report- ed to have been felt in New York state, Pennsylvania and Ontario early Monday morning, was noticed in this district, but most of those who were aware of a slight disturbance thought nothing of- it. A momentary rattle of windlows•like after a clap of thunder, slight swaying of aa picture or some other suspended object, and in one - case an alarm 'clock falling from the shelf, were the indications here, all of which occurred at just before 6.30. There is niuch speculation regarding the tremor, and it has been attributed `to internal troubles in the earth, also to sun spots. A co -incidence we have not seen mentioned is that this week, since Sunday night last, the earth -is passing through a group of ,met- eors, evidenced by the num•erouf shooting stars" in the northern sky in thevicinity of, the constellations Perseus and Andromeda (The Chained W.oman). This cloud of .meteorls is sus- pended in space and travels in a de- finite -orbit in the solar system accord- ing to the laws of gravity. It is pos- sible that a disturbance in the forces of gravity caused by the earth enter- ing the path of the meteors may have resulted in a shifting of the earth's crust. HAMMES-HARRIES.

Instead she maintained a pleasant, cheerful personality. The funeral held on Wednesday af- ternoon, August 14 from the residence. of her sister, Mrs. Win. Oliver, in Egmondville, was• conducted by Rev. Chas. E. Dougan of Clinton Presby- terian church, There was a large num- ber of floral tributes, The .pallbearers were Wm. Knechtel F. D.

A good watch costs no more than a suit of clothes. It gives you many years of service. And style and convenience both demand the strap watch as an additional timepiece.

Truck Upsets. -On Sunday after= -- noon shortly after 2 o'clock a new: Ford truck, driven by 17 -year-old Harry Gerofsky, of Stratford, ran off the road in front of Mr, Alex. Par- sons' farm, near the old cemetery be- tween Varna and Bayfield, and the 11a occupants, from Stratford and ,Sea - forth, were injured. Mr. Sam Shinan; who conducts a dry goods store in. Seaforth, received severe injuries to his back; his wife had a large gash i>a her scalp, several stitches being re- quired to close the wound; Louis Shapira of Stratford received a frac- tured thigh; Miss Ethel Shinan of Seaforth suffered injuries to her skull,. though 'it is not fractured as at first- believed; rstbelieved; Rabbi Appel of Stratford was severely torn across the back hav- ing been thrown against a barb wire fence. The truck set out from Strat- ford and at Seaforth picked up the_ - Shinan family, then started for Baer - field. In the lead was a car driven by Mr. J. Gerofsky of Stratford, owner of the truck. It is thought the truck had come up within a few feet of the car just at the point the -road goes down into a small gully, and that: when the lad tried to slots up the truck, c his wheels got g 1over the'ed a of the road. Whatever the cause in an instant the truck was running along the shallow ditch at the side of the road, passed Mr. Parsons' mail bore safely, but after a big bump in going over the driveway, it went over on: its side against the sloping edge of the road, throwing out the occupants, who had been sitting on chairs and benches. Scarcely slackening speed, the truck righted itself and skidded' down the steep slope into a hydro pole. The impact moved the stout pole" about a foot in the ground and snap- ped it near the top. The front of the• truck was very badly smashed, but: those who have seen it, report that the shatterproof glass windshield was not even cracked. Mr. and -Mrs. Shin - an and one child were riding with the driver in the cab, Doctors were calledl from Seaforth, Clinton and Bayfietd;, and with assistance of neighbors anal passing motorists the injured were.. given first aid and taken to Seafortbi. hospital. .Mr. Gerofsky who was driv- ing the leading car, happened to look, back as he reached the crown a thee , hill. The truck had disappeared 'from.. view, but itheviolent shakingof thee hydro wires told him what had taken, place, and he immediately geturned toe the scene of the accident Others who were in the truck and who . escaped 1 with minor injuries were Miss - Mild- red Biatsky, Toronto; Harry, Sam,' anti Saul .Gerofsky, Stratford. Mr;,, Shiltan is well known throughout tltc•. district having sold .goods withhorse: and cart for several years..
