Flagpole Snaps Off in Wind—
The 67 -foot cedar flagpole in Court
Haase Paris, from which for forty-five
year's the Onion Jack has been un-
furled to the breeze to signify state
events of significance. fell a prey to
the forty--mile-an-hour easterly gale
which blew 'Wednesday. During the
noon hour the pole snapped amid -
ship,. -the top half falling to the
ground in three pieces. Luckily no
one was anywhere near the scene.
Examination of the pole showed it to
be rotting in many places, Singularly
enough. the pole the last time it was
in use flew a flag at half-mast for the
late 0'. A. Robertson, M.P.P., who was
buried on Wednesday of last week.
Caretaker George James must have
had a premonition that oontething
wasgoing to happen, for he failed to
raise the flag for Tuesday's short
session of County Court. It is likely
that a new steel pole will be erected.
