Minutes of the Board held in the Town Hall, Monday evening, Feb. 18 The following is the order of busines duly submitted and approved. Per chairmanuni mites orprevious meeting Per R. N. RoWc and J. Senior, that in view of this being the first 'session o the Board since the accession to the the throne of His Most Gracious Ma jesty, King Edward VII., and the firs since the death of our late beloved Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria of eve blessed memory, we feel it our duty as servants of the Crown as well a loyal subjects of Her Late Majesty to -place on record our sense of the los sustained to the Empire by her remov al. For a term equalling the lives o two generations and nearly the ful span of life, she has held the throne to the joy of her subjects and the sat isfaction of sisterly nations. .Asking wisdom to rule in the fear of God and for the best interests of her people, she has been given the wisdom required to which have been added, as to anothe • ruler, riches,honor and length of'days with a proSperity to her nation, indus trially and politically, unexampled it the world's history. Occupying as she has the most prominent social position in the Empire, her character has stood for and as the accepted standard of the British national life, a type which has secured for the Motherland, no only the approving reverence and nn wavering support of her people, bu the homage and strcngthened loyalty of her colonial possessions throughou the world. Because her life has stood for the virtues we most highly prize in the home as well as the nation, we be lieve it to be perhaps the most collie sive force in the iDresent unifying of the Empire and that it is destined to become perhaps the most potent fac tor in making our world -Wide Empire for the future one in thought and pur- pose. Truly she has left us a glorious heritage and glorious possibilitieS and we feel that we cannot offer a greater tribute to her memory, nor One she would more gratefully appreciate than by transferring our humble allegiance to her son and singing with heart. and voice for the term of our days,/ "God Save the King" and make more truly one, His Victorian Empire, for truly we believe a greater Britain has been born to her.

Following are Rev. hi R. Hicks, weather forecasts for the month of March, vizt—Thedst and 2nd days, of March will be colder and clearing in "Western extremeS of the country. Tfiq higher barometer and sliarp change to colder following these storms will rapidly subside on the. approach of the 5th, and from the '5th to the 7th decided storm conditions will return. Within forty,eight hours of 5 o'clock, p. rmeon • the 5th; no one should be surprised by the appearance of tropical storms, with pogsible hurricane to the sOuth, with counterpart of a great boreal storm of rain, wind and snow from the north west. The full Moon on 'the celestial equator on the 5th and the day following is a time to be prudently watched by all whose in- terests and safety are liable to be jeopardizad by dangerous storms on sea and land. Lightning and thimder will visit most sections during the first stages of these perturbations, but a blizzard of no mean proportions will likely come out of the northwest on and tonching the 6th and 7th.

From the'Oth to the 13th is the 9th to 13th, abnormal electrical phenomena, such a auroras, electric winds charging objects on the earth's surface with electricity, earth currents disturbing telegraphic instruments. thunder storms and volcanic seismic disturbances. The Venus perturba- tion, which is central in April, also comes in as a disturbing factor at the crisis in our Marcb distnrbances. Ex- pect, therefore, many very decided storms and other happenings of peca. liar but not necese•u•ily d•mgerous character. The 15th to 17th will con- stitute a reactionary time of storm, and 'general! y n Sett led 'and n plea s - mkt weather, whieh will scarcely sub- side until we enter what we believe to be' the greatest storm period of the month. This period is shown by the seorm diagram to be from the 16fh to 25th. Onr own coasts, especially in the 'South, will hardly be exempt front a ehare in the disturbances due at or near this period. Heavy rain and thunder-stb-rms, with p(issible torna- does, will visit many interior sections. ind snow sleet and bliz'Xiud will wind ip the general turmoil in northwest- ern, central and northern parts of the country.
