few moments sound as OF
A SMALL CYCLONE
was heard. The waters surged up
against the shores of the little island,
receded and came again with rhythmic
regularity. The sounds were heard at
the same time, and after investigating
carefully, they ascertained that the
sounds were the nocturnal notes of the
slumbering editor and the agitation of
the water was from the same cause.
They now proceeded to sound the
depth of the water in the vicinity of
Fargo, and ascertained the fact that it
is very shallow. In fact, the waters
seemed to be receding slowly, and after
a careful computation by one of the ex-
piorers he said that itwould be impossible
to get water there in three years from
now. Directing their course towards
MoOrhead, they found the water in
creasing in depth to such an extent that
underneath the city they were unable
to find bottom. They deem it of the
utmost importance that the citizens of
Fargo look Immediately to the scOurce
of their liquid supply for the future,
and make all haste to save the city from
a severe and protracted drouth which is
sure to overtake them. The geological
formations beneath Fargo show the
absence of coal also. Among the relics
found there were the petrified

without any trouble. The first sound
that arrested their attention was the

that it was the voice of a mermaid
Turing them on to ruin, but after giving
the subject little closer attention it
was decided by all that it was the voice
of Denny. Some one meeting him on
the street, said, 'Denny, who is going
to the territorial convention from here"

river that I'll raise somebody out with.
Pm for the administration and agin
the balance of 'em." "HOw does the
administration of Gov. Church suit you,

''Have you thought mnch on the divis

Democrat, and believes in free trade for
protection only. On the liquor question

Alex can be woed and won, but as he is
very coy and shy. he will have to be

each other goodbye, the two friends
separated and the vOyagers turned their
attention to other channels, making
some remarkable discoveries which will
appear later on.
