Sometimes it happens that men make
mistakes in regard to their physical strength

DR.. Clark, of Detroit wrote an article in
the Post and Tribune attempting to explain
in philosophical way, the mOduS OperGgGi
by which Underwood, the fireblower, per-
formed his marvellous feat. This called out

did not do it in any such way. And now

edges himself skeptical, but wants an inter

Too late to make public announcement OF
the fact, Mr.. Cole, the Methodist Pastor, re-
ceived notice that Mr.. Rule would not be able
to meet his engagement to lecture here last
Tuesday evening. Resolved not to disap-
point the audience, he drove to Kalamazoo
and beyond, and procured Rev. Washington
Gardner, of the "big village" who addressed
the people on the subject Of "waste." His
lecture treated of but one source of waste
the financial, intellectual, physical and NOR
al waste caused by the use of tobacco in its
