Last spring Clara Demo. young
lady residing at Carrollton, commenced
suit in the Circuit Court against Harry
Lisle, principal of the Carrollton schools.
charging him with breach Of promise.
This suit was commenced on the eve Of
Lisle's marriage with another young lady,
and he was arrested on the train on the
way to the residence of his bride, near
Chesaning, and locked up in Jail. He
procured bail on the following day and.
proceeding on his way, was married.
Subsequently Miss Demo withdrew the
suit and the matter has slumbered until
few days ago, when Miss Demo preferred
charges of immortality against Isle with
the school authorities. These charges will
be Investigated by the County Board of
School Examiners. OF course the Board
of School Examiners will not pass on the
guilt or innocence of Isle, says the Sagi-
nav Courier, but will simply investigate
the charges, and if the members are sat
is6ed there is foundation for them they
have it in their power to annul his certifi-
cate as a teacher. 1t is said Isles
troubles will not end with this investiga-
ton.

zen, d. F.. Hull, says the Adrian Times.
while watching rider on bicycle glide
swiftly by him, got TO wondering if ma
chine could not be built that would have

so liable to trip its rider. Mr.. Hull went
to work on his idea, and now has q wheel
that can keep up with the best of them.
He has christened it "The Flying Quar-
cycle" 1t is rough looking arrangement
of poles and wheels, but it works like
