Anna. Rrrcinn, They Went Fishing. The proprietor of Hotel Brunswick and T. A. Mills went out fishing for speckled trout last Friday, and brought home the best lot that Wing - ham has seen for years. Besides the trout, Mr. Mills caught about ten doz- . en chub. To his., surprise, a three- year old steer came along and finding T. A.'s catch of chub unguarded, de- voured the lot, in order to save the catcher the trouble of carrying them homne. Didn't T. A. wish that some one was near to poke that steer in the ribs, or "say something suitable for the occasion" ? Some may say our townsman dreamed of this fishing ad- venture, but we are credibly informed that the above is a fact, even though it be a fish story.

The following original answers have been handed the Advance by a lady teacher ; they were received from pupils in a country school not far from Wingham :,A little girl, upon looking at the picture of the cat, on her first day at school, was asked— "What can the cat do ?" She replied —"Cats can scratch." On an exami- nation paper appeared the following question—"Of what is the earth com- posed, and in what proportions ?" An answer, written in a cramped, boyish hand was given—"The earth is com- posed of mud and dirt and flowers and trees and men and boys and many other things." On the salve paper was written an answer to the query— "Where and for what noted is Buffa- lo?" To this he answered—"Buffalo is the place where Buffalo Bill lives." A tiny girl of six, in reciting the poem— "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are," serenely quot- ed—"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, .how you wonder whist I are." Go in on Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, Aug. 22, 23 and 24, at the Queen's hotel, and have Dr. Egbert fit your eyes correctly. Sunday School Excursion. Tuesday morning last, the day cho- sen for our Civic holiday and Sunday School excursion, dawned with rain and gloomy prospects for a pleasant day at the lake -side. Notwithstanding . the discouraging appearances, the ex- cursion was well patronized, and 931 tickets were sold at Wingham alone. Whitechurch, Lucknow and Ripley furnished contingents, and when the train reached Kincardine there were =1500 exenrsipnists on board, and the cars were crowded so that. standing room was scarcely available. Soon the weather cleared, and as scarcely any rain had fallen in Kincardine, the clay proved to be very pleasant and the outing Most enjoyable. Wing - ham's fine Band contributed its share to the enjoyment of the day, and both young and old thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. Wingham and Kincardine Juniors played baseball, the former winning. Kincardine and Winghant played lacrosse, the victory going to Kincardine.- Four rinks of Wingham bowlers played an equal number of Kincardine bowlers in the forenoon, and finished up in the afternoon with "pick-up.' rinks, Wingham winning on the whole by 13. The disagreeable feature of the excursion was the wretched accommodation furnished by the G. T. R. A special train promised to leave Wingham 20 minutes before the excursion train, was cancelled, and hundreds of children were obliged to stand out in the rain waiting for the train due at 8.45. Thirteen cars were literally packed. The railway company ought to have some little re- spect for this town (that gives it so much business) rind not pack its citi- zens on talkie Civic holiday excursion, like sardines in a box. This was the sixth annual excursion, and deserved better treatment. A. number went up on the later trains, and ler. Harold secured three extra coaches for the re- turn ; even then the train was tincolli- fortably, crowded. Station Agent Harold ilia all in his power, but the fault lies higher up, nearer the centre of (mishuanagelnent.

Wins Appeal. A few weeks ago, we noted the fact that the town of Wingham had ap- pealed against the assessment of its Electric Light plant, situated in the township of Turnberry. The assess- ment was $7,000, 'and the town appeal- ed on the grouutcl that the plant being nuuticipal property was not assessa- ble. The wisdom of Turnberry Coun- cil thought otherwise, and instead of properly considering the appeal, promptly shoved the assessment up to $10,000 The Town then appealed to to the County Judgepwho after hear- ing the case allowed the Town's ap- peal, holding that the plant being municipal property is not assessable. Dr. Egbert, Eye Specialist, will be at the Queen's hotel Monday, Tuesdayy and Wednesday, Aug. 22, 23 and 24, fitting glasses. Summer School. 'Commencing with next Monday evening's services the Summer School,. under the direction of the Wingham District Epworth League, will open its sessions in the Lakeside Park in the town of Kincardine, and will con- tinue during the week, concluding With a rousing rally on Sabbath, 14th inst. An able staff of outside speakers has been secured, including such well- known gentlemen as Rov. Dr, Hender- son, Associate Missionary Secretary, of Toronto ; Rev. Dr. Jackson, of Bri- tish Columbia; Rev. R. W. Woods - worth, of the Manitoba Conference ; and Rev. Dr. Stephenson, the enthusi- astic exponent of the, Forward Mis- sionary Movement. The subjects dealt with will be largely along Bible study and Missionary lines. China, Japan and the Indian fields will be dealt with very fully. There will be fore- noon and evening sessions, the after- noons being devoted to pleasure and recreation. On. Friday the Annual District, League Convention will be held. In the evening of this day there will be a Sacred Concert, in which the best nmsical talent procurable in the District will take part. On Sabbath, 14th inst., Rev. Dr. Henderson will preach, morning and evening, and a Sabbath School mass meeting will be held in the afternoon. Arrangements have been made with the railways for reduced fare, as follows:—Persons at- tending will purchase a single first- class one-way ticket to Kincardine and be sure to ask the agent at the starting point for a standard certifi- cate. If there are 50 delegates or up- wards attending the Slimmer School who have these certificates, the return trip will be made one-third of the sin gle faire, but if under 50, rate will be two-thirds the regular single ticket. If weather is wet or too cool for out- door services arrangements are made for conducting them indoors. In the regular service of Praise the Canadian Hymnal will be used, and where avail- able persons are asked to bring this book with thein. Dr. Egbert is an expert at fitting glasses. If your eyes trouble you do not fail to have him fit you. At the Queen's hotel, Aug. 22, 23 and 24. Disastrous Storm. The electric storms of Wednesday night of last week proved to be one of the most destructive that has visited this section of country for many months. Three fires could be seen from Gorrie, and five others occurred within a few miles from Harriston. In Wingham, the only building touch- ed was the residence of Louis Small, and the damage was not serious. On the B line, near town, Geo. Walker's barn was burned, with his implements and hay. The barn of Andrew Long- ley, Howick, was burned, along with 30 tons of hay, about 50 bushels of. grails .and some implements. Loss partly covered by insurance in the Howick Co.; $600 on barn and $700 on contents. Alex. McIntyre of Under- wood, Ont., lost his barn and many farm implements, etc. This barn, which contained a large anloumt of hay and some implements, Was one of the finest in the township. The barn of Jllo. McEwen, near Brucefleld, also was destroyed. Saul. Forbes, con. 14, McKillop, lost a fine new barn, and Robert Jackson, near Harriston, suf- fered likewise. Chas. Connors, of Grey, is also minus barn and contents. The barn on the farm occupied by Jacob Frey, near Clifford, was burned; all the horses and pigs were saved but Frey loses thirty tons of hay and some small faun implements ; fully insured. John Patterson, 2nd eon., Howick, lost his new barn and some contents, including 100 bushels of wheat. In- sunecl in the Howick Co.; $850 on barn and $450 on contents. The barn be- longing to a farmer named McKenzie, near Teeswater, also went up in smoke, Jas. Willis -of Vorclwicll lost his stable by the same storm. During the stoln)i, William Joint Chambers, Whose home was on the town line west of Kippen, was struck by light- ning and instantly killed, He was just in his 20th year and a very bright ata promising young pian.

Treasured Souvenirs. 0, W. Lawrence of Bolgratve has three souvenirs front England that he prizes very highly. They were given him by his niece, Mrs, Britnell of To- ronto, whose husband is an electrician and diel some wiring in Windsor Castle while in England. The souvenirs are leaves, one from a tree at Jahn 'Wes- ley's grave, another from the palace of Sheen, where Queen Elizabeth died, and the third from a tree at Oliver Cromwell's last resting place. Don't forget the date of Dr. Egbert, the Eye Specialist's visit, at the Queen's hotel, Aug. 22, 23 and 24. Not Generally Knowd. An amendment was macre in the Municipal Act at the last session of the Legislature, one clause of which will prevent considerable trouble. Candidates for the offices of mayor, reeve, controller, councilman, water commissioner in cities, towns and in- corporated villages are required to file with the clerk a declaration of quali- fication by noon on the day of nomi- nation. This change in the low will do away with the indiscriminate nominations so often 111ac1e at nomi- nation meetings. Deaf, Dumb and Blind. It is really wonderful how much some can accomplish in spite of what appear to be impassable' barriers to their advancement. Here is an ex- ample. Miss Helen Keller, who is deaf, dumb and blind, has just gradu- ated with honors in arts at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass. Thus Miss Keller completes at the age of twenty- four an educational career of extra- ordinary brilliance. The college re- cords show that its literature, philoso- phy and economics she has done excel- lent work. Fatal Accident. A fatal accident occurred at Fort Frances recently in the mill owned by the Preston Bell Co., in which our former townsman, H. 0. Bell is a large proprietor. A young French- man named Ducet was working in the mill and either slipped or was knock- ed off the platform into the lake be- neath, a distance of some 30 feet, strik- ing his head on a log. He was at once picked up by the men on the booth and taken to the company's steamer and brought to the Fort by H. 0. Bell. He was unconscious when picked up, and died before the boat could reach the Fort. Nothing is known of the young man's relatives or where he carne from, as he main- tained astrict silence as to his antece- dents and kept aloof from his fellows. Mr. Bell said he was a quiet, steady young fellow and performed his duties well, but no clue could be found. as to his hone or relatives. ROOMS TO LET.—Above J. Gal- braith's store. Apply to Dr. A.

It contains in Ward 1-194 voters ; Ward 2-176 ; 'Ward 8--205 ; Ward 4 -=325 ; 406 voters are entitled to vote at either municipal or parliamentary elections, 210 at Municipal elections . only, and 155 at parli:tmentatry elec- tions only, under the Manhood Fran- chise Act. There are 358 qualified to act as jurors. Every elector should examine the list and see if his name is there, and properly described, and if not, take the necessary steps to have the correction made, Official Visit. On Wednesday of last week C. P. R. and G, T. R. officials were in town. It was arranged to have a joint meet- ing, but as the hour was 4 p.m., the 0, P. R, men had left on the 3.40 train; We understand however that they intend installing signal bells at Josephine and Mill street crossings. The G. T. R. officials and Inspector Mountain of the Railway Commission met some members of the Town Coun- cil and talked over the proposed, changes. The Council desire Shuter and Frances streets opened across the tracks. To this the officials object. They are willing however to open Catharine street. This, it seems to ns would be of very little use. To have no crossings between Josephine and Catharine streets, in a town like Wingham, is almost inconceivable, and it is likely the Company will be compelled to open either Shuter or Frances street. The contemplated improvements include the removal of the present freight sheds eastward ; these will be used by the Canada Furniture Mfrs. New• freight sheds will be built, also a new passenger sta- tion. The engine house and water - tank will be moved eastward, near the old oatmeal hill ; this will prevent much of the shunting that incon- veniences traffic on Josephine street, but a watchman is to be placed there permanently. More tracks will be laid, and the yard made more 'con- venient. Work on the improvements will be commenced at once. Fon SALE CImEAP.—One good build- ing lot, corner Shuter and Maple Sts.; apply to James T. Langley, Niagara Falls, Ont. August Weather. Rev. Irl. Hicks predicts as follows for the first half of August. On and touching the 8111. and 9t11, under the influence of reactionary storm forces the temperature will rise to some of the highest readings of the summer, the barometer will fall, and severe storms and bluster will visit many localities in their sweep from west to east. This heated spell will not break down until after the new moon on the 11th, with strong proba- bilities that it will last into the re- gular storm period extending from the 12th to the 17th. The 14th will be the central day of a regular stolmht period. This period is also. embraced i11 the on -coming Venus disturbance, which is central on the 241,h, The dis- turbances of this period, whether -or not West India storms come lip from I the south, may be expected over most interior parts of the cotultry from the 13th to 16th, the cu1111ination falling likely on the 14th and 15th. Vicious thunder storms and high gales will centre about Sunday the 14tH. Re- actionary storm conditions will return on and next to the 19tH and 20th. There is almost a scientific certainty of equinoctial storms in southern parts of the earth before the end of August, marking it wise for the vital- ly concerned to watch the first indica- tions of every storm period. It is well to remember that destructive Trail storms are almost sure to attend the storms, especially in the great north- western grain regions, during the last half of August. The last regular storm period is central on the 26th, extending from the 24th to the 29th. We may confidently anticipate some very marked storm dlistutrbaltees at this time, The indications are that the general disturbance of this period will be followed by a general high barometer with fietee, ]sign witless and unseasonably cold weather out of the north-west. If frosts make their ap- pearance over the northern to middle regions of the country during the last few days of August, our readers need not be wholly taken by surprise. The slates upon which volcanic and earth- quake disturbances are most likely to reach at. maxinlun, generally over the globe, will be the Oth to the 13th and the 21t11 to the 28111 of August. We will name Thursday, the 11th, the 25th as central clays of these probable seismic perineus of disturbance. Six headaches out of every seven ca11 be cured by properly fitted glasses.
