The ex- tra pair of feet were attached to the breast and were set for walking in the opposite direction from the others. If it had lived we imagined it would have found locomotion exceedingly difficult.

 As the new council will soon come into power we desire to suggest that this would be an opportune time to es- tablish a permanent grade or height for sidewalks throughout the business part of town at least.

Let permanent grade be fixed, then com pei every property owner to build to 1t.
