THE CHANGE OF CLIMATE IN EUROPE

The article states that IN the Bay OF Kome.

The discovery of fossil plants of certain

A VERY STRANGE STORY.-Two singu-
lar Incidents, which will furni sh nuts TO
crack to believers in the supernatural, have
recently come TO light in England in regard
To the recent loss of the Avalanche in the
British channel. A lad who was q great
friend OF one OF the apprentices who was lost
made arrangements TO accompany him
down the channel and come ashore with the
pilot, but at The last moment before sailing
he was seized with such an indefi able and
ungOvernable misgiving that he q 4 bel to
go, and thus escaped almost certafHs death
The apprentice who was lost had q retrieve
dog who was very fond OF him, aud which
answered TO q shrill dog whistle which he
carried. On the night OF the shipwrsck his
mother and aunt were in the sitting roo N
and the dog in the kitchen. Between ant
10 O'Clock the ladies were siartlei by hear
Ing shrill whistle up stairs. i'm so.ind re-
seIsbling that Of the dog whistle uSet by tae
young man. The dog b card ~ also, gave his
usual recognizing bark. and bounded up
stairs 10 where he supposed his master was.
TIE whistle was heard just about the time
that the Avalanche went down, and r. was
heard by two credible witnesses, whose testi-
mony was confirmed by the response IN ale
TO 1t by the dog of The lost sailor.
Go THOU AND Do LIEEwIsE.-"Grant,"
says Emile de Girardin, 'Quittei the White
House wtthou, trying to renew his lease OF
power the moment he understood he was no
longer sustained by the popular sentiment"
The alticle concludes by asking, .Why does
not MacMahOD follow Grants example aud
then go travel in America? No meter how
much he knows he will always be able 10
learn something there"

The Proposed Opera House

The best place for the proposed Opera
House is on David Don's property, corner
Washington and Orleans streets. This
property fronts 60 feet on Orleans street
and runs back 100 feet on Washington
street. Twenty five feet, additional, if
needed, can be bought from L. NJ Haver-
stick, just south of the Union office. -
Union.
Yes, that's a very good location. So is
the Spear corner, opposite. And so is the
Capt Henderson lot on the same block,
corner of 10th street-though the Don and
Spear corners are rather preferable. The
building should be away from the noise of
the main business part of town. 1t is a
great nuisance to actors and audience to
be disturbed by the rattle of street cars,
carts, and the noise of great business
street
| But will the people do anything about
building a house? The property holders
and business men will make a great mis-
take if they permit their town much longer
to suffer in reputation as it is now suffering.
1t is not creditable to the people who
claim this as their home that Rock Island
is so far behind its neighbors in this re-
spect-not credltable to their intelligence
their enterprise and public spirit, or tt
their business sagacity. We believe tina
a first class opera house would add 10 pei
cent to the value of property in town-a'
a first-claSs hotel has already DONE W.
would expend very little money on thu
external adornments of an opera house
but internally it should exceed anything il
the west for comfort, convenience anC
beauty Such house, in good location
and near the ground, would be very val
liable addition to Rock Island. 1t is 70
the property holders and active business
men to say whether the want shall be sup
Piled or whether Rock Island shall take
back seat.
