The Apple Crop.
The Weekly Sun gives the following
reports received from Huron and Bruce
on the prospects of the apple crop. A.
E. Sherrington, Experimental Fruit
Station, Walkerton, reports -Apples
promise above an average crop, but
are suffering from fungus. The quali-
ty, I am afraid, is going to he poor.
The fruit is holding on hell, but foli-
age looks bad. F. C. Elford of Holtnes-
ville, Huron county, says -The apple
crop will not he so heavy as was anti-
cipated, and from present appearances
not as large as that'of 1000. The fruit
is holding on well, but is scabby. N.
D. McDougall, Tiverton, says -The
yield of apples in this section will not
be as high as in 1900, this being the off
year for Spies in this section. Early
varieties, however, promise a good
yield, but the average per tree all
round will not go beyond four bushels.
Wedding.
A very pretty wedding was that of
Miss Minnie Weir to Mr, J. Hartley of
Wroxeter, It took place on the even-
ing of Monday, July 14th, beneath an
arch of smilax, myrtle and white lilies
in the spacious drawing -rooms of the
beautiful new home of the bride's par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. William Weir of
Salem, The bride, who was unattend-
ed, was becomingly gowned in a d'ove-
gray moire silk, trimmed with white
chiffon and applique, and wore a sun-
burst of opals and diamonds, the gift
of the groom, and carried a bouquet of
bridal roses. She was given away by
her father amid the strains of Lohlin-
ghrin's wedding march, artistically
rendered by Mrs, T. G, Hemphill of
Wroxeter. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. W. Hartley, bro-
ther of the groom, after which the
large assemblage of guests, composed
of the relatives and intimate friends of
the family, partook of the sumptuous
wedding breakfast provided by the
hostess. The largo collection. of beau-
tiful gifts attest to the bride the high
esteem of her many friends, The
bride's going away gown was of brown
cloth beautifully tucked, with a blouse
of white silk ; her hat was prettily
veiled with bisque colored monelino de
sole. The young couple, accompanied
by the heartiest wishes of their many
friends for a pleasant bridal trip, to bo
the prelude to a happy and prosperous
life, started next morning for a five
weeks' tour in the North-west.

Entrance Earcam's.
Entrance examination results may
be found in this issue ; candidates will
be pleased at the early publication of
results. Again our school shows good
results --twenty-four successful candi-
dates out of twenty-seven is a record
to be proud of. This would indicate
that not only while in the entrance
class, but previously, the pupils have
had the best of preparation. Pupils
entering the entrance class withinfe-
rior preparatory training would not
be likely to make much headway in
the entrance class, so that while Mr.
Coultes, who taught the entrance class
for the past two months, did his work
well, the results also show good, faith-
ful work in the lower grades through
which the pupils passed,; Among those
who passed with Honors from our
school are -Harry Green, Merton Hart,
Mildred Beemer, Harriet Campbell,
Greta Carson, Ethel Davison, Elva
Dodd, Hattie Gannett, Janisa Perrie,
May Swarts. Others who safely pass-
el the pass mark from our school were
-Geo. Gregory, Carrol Hele, Norman
Park, Fred. Paterson, Alfred Posliff,
Wm. Scott, Leslie Young, Minnie Bar-
ber, Alice Coad, Lillian Deyell, Ethel

July x2th.
Gorrie, Goderich and Brussels were
the.centres of interest in this county
on July 12th. For an account of Gor-
rie celebration, see Gorrie items.
Wingham lodge, No. 791, met early in
their lodge room and;;then took the
8.40 train to Brussels. At Wingham
station; about 500 tickets were sold,
some for Goderich, others for Brussels,
At the latter place, about thirteen
lodges gathered, and an. excellent day
is reported. An unfortunate accident
early in the day befell Mr. Gerry, sen.
He was riding horseback to the station
to marshall the procession, when his
horse slipped on the cement crossing
and fell on Mr. Gerry, breaking one of
his legs below the knee, two of his ribs
and severely injuring one foot. The
accident will lay him aside for some
time. In the afternoon gathering.
County Master Greer, of Wingham,
presided; addresses were delivered by
County Councillor Bowman, John Wil-
ford, A. H. Musgrove, Revs. T. Cosens
and R. Hobbs. A very large number
gathered at the celebration in Goder-
ich, and it is said that over seventy
lodges' were present, besides two
lodges of Loyal True Blues -Lady San-
derson lodge of Walton and Fern
lodge of Wingham. Londesboro lodge
won the prize for the largest lodge
present, and E. A. Best, fifer of that
lodge, won the $10 prize as the best
fifer. We have no further report of
the Goderich celebration, but the
crowd was immense.
Garden Party.
A fine cool evening favored the gar-
den party held on Thursday evening
under the auspices_of the firemen, and
a large number of citizens and others
were present. The Lucknow Band
contributed much to the enjoyment of
the evening by the number of fine se-
lections they rendered, which were
much enjoyed. D. E. Macdonald with
the bagpipes, and his daughter with
Scotch dances, also entertained the
company. McKelvie's large gramo-
phone also aided in the program. Af-
ter payment of the expenses, a neat
sum remained to the credit of the
Firemen, Our Firemen should be as-
sisted and their work appreciated.
They are ready at any hour, day or
night, to turn out to save or protect
property. We should like to have
seen them with a much larger balance
from the effort of Thursday last.

If You Were There.
An eminent astronomer calls atten-
tion to the planet Vesta, which during
July comes within 100 millions of miles
of this earth, and is scarcely discerni-
ble by the naked eye. Itis 220 millions
of miles from the sun, and a year. on
Vesta is equal to three years.and eight
months of our time. This asteroid is
only 200 miles in diameter. The same
astronomer says :-Ou so small a body
the force of gravity is much less than
on the earth. A man, if he could exist
on the surface of Vesta, would weigh
about 1 -50th of what he does here, and
his capabilities would be correspond-
ingly increase& This wonld have
some interesting consequences. An
athlete, for example, could easily jump
to a height of 300 feet or so, coming
down with no more jar than after a
six foot leap on earth. A batted ball,
which here rises to a height of one
hundred feet, and drops into the field-
er's hands after a flight of five seconds
or so, would on Vesta, if struck as
hard a blow, rise a mile high, stay hi
the air more than four minutes, and
drop nearly four miles away. A can-
non -ball, lived at the usual speed,would
fly clean off into space, and never
come back at all,

An exchange says :-»Expose a little
oil of bay in a saucer on your window
sill, or coat your doors and windows
with any color paint you like contain-
ing as little as four per cent. of oil of
bay, which is far from expensive, and
can be had anywhere, and not a single
fly will enter your house, People in
the country who are annoyed by flies
should remember that clusters of the
fragrant clover, which grows abun-
dantly by nearly every roadside, if
hung in the room and left to dry and
shed its faint fragrant perfume through
the air, will drive away more flies
than sticky saucers of molasses and
other fly traps and fly paper can ever
collect.

Hazel L, Brandon continues below
an account of her trip to the Soo, We
have had to condense it a little, but
must say that Hazel certainly wrote
the account of her trip very well in-
deed, for a girl 12 years of age. It
shows an observant mind, and an
ability to put the results of observation
in readable form, that young people
would do well to imitate. -(Editor Ad-

DEAR ADVANCE, -After my trip to
Rock Lake mines I spent most, of the
next week in Michigan. and spent one
afternoon at the Locks in the Ameri-
can Soo ; saw the gates open and close
after letting steamers and barges
through, and looking at the rapids.
On Saturday my auntie took me to
Italy, where the steel rails are made.
'1 saw the steel going through all the
different machines and come out in
rails ready for the track. Then we
went to the pulp mill and to Mr, Cler-
gue's home. I was in his park and saw
four bears, the moose, the deer, eagle,
gulls, etc. On Sunday I went to the
Methodist church in the Canadian Soo
and heard Mr. Allen preach in the
morning. They have just the base-
ment to work in yet. Mr. Allen an-
nounced that the late Mr. Massey of
Toronto left $5,000 towards building a
new church, providing they paid an-
other $5,000 and built at least a $20,000
church, and the debt left not to exceed
$10,000, the church to be erected in two
years, Father staid, had they Rev. M.
Hobbs for their preacher they would
soon have the new church. In the
evening I went to an open air meeting,
held by the young people of the
League. They had an organ and a
choir ; the singing was just grand (I
thought) better than our choir in
Wingham. There was an immense
crowd. On Monday we went to the
fort in the American Soo, where there
are over two hundred soldiers, dressed
in blue. Then I went over to the wa-
ter -power canal ; it is 270 feet wide and
more than fifty feet deep ; men by the
car -loads are working in that canal.
The greatest day of all was the lst of
July.• In the Canadian Soo in the fore-
noon there was boat racing on the Soo
river and other sports, At one o'clock
the procession started from the Inter-
national hotel for the show grounds.
I think all kinds of people and all
kinds of work were represented in that
procession. I think all nations must
have been represented. I saw Uncle
Sam in his cab, and the Indians from
the Shing Wank Home. I never saw
half so many people in one place as I
did in that nrocession. There were
two bands from the American Soo,
and after the sports the bands played
iu the jail yard all evening, and Mr.
Harris, the turn-key, took me all
through the jail. I was invited out to
a six o'clock dinner, and spent the rest
of the evening watching the display of
fireworks. On Wednesday we got on
board the S. S. Manitoba for Owen
Sound, reaching there just in time to
miss our train. I called on Miss Nellie
Cline, and had dinner with Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart McGee. We reached
Wingham safely, and though very
tired, was sorry my trip was over, I
enjoyed it so much.
Yours truly,
HAZEL L. BRANDON,
