an oar with him, When about fifteen
rods out he sank and did not conte up

The ceremonial observation of the
Jewish New Year began at sundown
last Wednesday evening, and con-
tinued until sundown on the succeed-
ing Friday. Utter solemnity charac-
terized the observation of the Jewish
New Year, as ditonetrically opposed
to the New Year festivities of other
sects and nationalities. The air of
solemnity is due to the fact that the
New Year period ushers in the Day
of Atonement, which comes ten days
later.

Sunday evening was ---"Myself and
my other self," based on Romans 7 : 21.

the ratepayers at next municipal elec-
tion, a By-law to authorize extending
the terra for CoencilIois from one to

as they appoached afence, finding he

Probably The Reason.
0. Nelson, a prominent farmer
near Pontiac, Mich., advances an ex -
i ttio
l tui i n for thee so
p r destruction of
many barns by lightning. Recently
W. E. Sarpenter, secretary of the
Monitor Insurance Co'y, made the
statement that steel hay tracks in the
roofs of bares attract the lightning
and cause destruction. Mr. Nelson
points out that newly -cut hay or
grain gives el! dampness until the
hay or grain is thoroughly cured.
The hay or grain is piled in the barns
and allowed to cure there, the damp.
ness rises to the roof and as it dries
out becomes a gas. Until the hay is
thoroughly cured this gas continues
to generate. During a storm the gas
is escaping from the barn. The air is
heavily . charged with electricity,
which comes in contact with the gas,
and the next instant the gas inside
the barn is exploded, the lightning
following that course. Mr. Nelson
pointed out a number of instances
where barns were suddenly found a
mass of flame, all through the interior
during an electrical storm.

C. 0. P. At Church,
About ninety members of the Cana-
dian Order of Foresters met in the
Court room on Sunday horning, to
attend service in the Methodist
church. The pastor, Rev. W, G. How-
son, preached an excellent sermon
from the words—"As a Lodge in a
garden of cucumbers"—centre clause
of verse 8 of the lst chapter of Isaiah.
Mr. Howson introduced the subject by
reference to the eastern gardens of
melons and cucumbers, and the neces-
sity of the lodges therein, He showed
that these, though necessary and use-
ful, were only designed to be tempo-
rary. The lodges of fraternal organi-
zations were also necessary for tem-
porary protection in case of sickness,
and for the care of widows and or-
phans. Tho Church of God, however,
was designed to be permanent. Sev-
eral resons were advanced is to why
there should be no objection taken to
fraternal societies. On the contrary,
they were doing a benevolent work,
and helping to lighten burdens and
mitigate human woe. The brethren
listened attentively to the discourse,
and perhaps few were aware that the
speaker was laboring under severe
strain, having been laid up all week
by a heavy cold. On returning to the
Court room, Bro. 0, M. Gordon
moved a vote of thanks to Rev. W. G.
Howson for his able sermon, saying
that he had heard many sermons of
the kind, but none better. Several
were ready to second the motion, and
the resolution carried unanimously.

Pleasant Evening.

the Methodist Church were "At
Home" to the pupils of the High

ture room of the church. The room,
which was attractively decorated for
the occasion with bunting, flags,

pleasantly and profitably spent.

Hicks' October Forecasts.
The probabilities are that the re-
actionary storms in progress as Octo-
ber comes in will reach their culmina-
tion on and touching the 2nd. Severe
and dangerous tropical storms are in-
dicated for southern parts of the
country, with a wide and forceful
storm center corning to meet them
out of the northwest. The regular
storm period charted from the 2nd to
the 7tli, will take ep the disturbances
and renew and prolong them during
the first week of the month. We
warn our readers of very disagreeable,
if not destructive storms and weather,
et this and the following October
periods. The 2nd is the central day of
a probable seismic period, extending
two to three days before and after
that cliate. Look for northwesterly
gales and change to unseasonably
cold. Be on the watch, in the north-
west, for this cold wave as early as
the 3rd to 5th, A reactionary storm
period is central on the 10th, 11th and
12th. Look at this time for a return
of storm conditioris. The Venus ire
fluence all through this part of Octo-
ber will tend to extremes of tempera-
ture, with storms all the way from
vicious lightning and thunder, to sud-
den change into almost winter storms
and temperatures. These autumnal
storm areas will almost certainly
bring severe to dangerous disturban-
ces over the northern lakes. A regn-
Iar storm period covers the 10th to the
20th, having new moon at its center
on the 17th. In all probability this
will prove one of the most severe to
dangerous storm periods of this
month, if not the whole autumn. The
lith is the center of another seismic
period, extending front the 15th to the
20th. This is is most probable time
when some more eertluliutkes will
conelncle to "let go." Road dispatches
from the world over and sec. A re-
notionitry storm period is central on
Use 23rd to 25th. Navigators of the

regard for storm warnings. See if
they don't. A regular stores period
covers the last five days of the month,
Wide stretches of cloucltnese, rain and
snow will pass aeress the whole eonn-
try from west to east. The culmina-
tion of these storms will probably ecu -
ter on the 31st, on or before which
date an early cold wave, with decided
dashes of nutunsnnl snow and gales,

the coloring matter from theist used
this to dye woollen cloths, which were
