birds are seen at sea q thousand miles or

earth reVoives around under them. All
they then have 20 de 70 to wait until

which will scar alefs and remain static

low. 1t does not appear that he has sue
eessfully tried 4 trip with his balloon
himself, but has laid his theory before

Pecan street some time ago was lower
ed foot or more to give il better drain
age. The improvement was badly need
ed and undoubtedly will prove of great
benefit to that thoroughfare. But unfor-
tunately in digging away the dirt many
troublesome depressions and dangerous
holes were left IN the street, and they are
exceedingly trying on all vehicles passing
down it TO the Central depot. While the
general drainage OF the street has been
greatly benefited, preventing the flood
ing of sidewalks during heavy rains, the
condition of the street for travel has been
greatly impaired. In many places the de
pressions reach n depth of several inches
which makes travel in buggies exceed
ingly rough, while the wheels OF the
heavily laden freight trucks drop into
them. straining the trucks and teams TO
their utmost. Then, in digging down the
street the cutters at many OF the cross
ings have been left in very bad condition,
and should be attended TO At once. We
call particular attention 10 the crossing
Of Red River street, both north and south
of Pecan. These are in fearful fix and
should receive the immediate attention

who has authoritytO have tho cutters put

We hope that the readers of the FLoRIDIAN
throughout Middle and West Florida will give
especial attention to the advertisement of the
the West Florida Seminary in our advertisement
columns.
1t will be seen that this venerable institution

in 1851, and endowed by large grant of public
lands, has been entirely recognized, with very

with instruction in military tactics and hand

known as an accomplished and faithful teacher
Of Professor J. N. Whitner, the Principal, we
need not speak, as he is well-known all over the
State.
What we particularly wish 10 call attention 10
Is the fact as stated in the advertisement that

titled to send as many pupils to this school, free
of charge for tuition, as it has representatives in

1t would seem that there should be no need
TO more than mention this fact to be certain that
the people of each of these counties who have
pupils to be educated would gladly embrace the
opportunities here offered; but it is not 30, and
