There is pastime now much in vogue
with the boys in this city and elsewhere, that
is OF sufficiently dangerous character to
require some sort of regulation. The pas
time referred to is the indiscriminate shoot
ing with air guns about the streets. The
gun Is an inoffenslye looking affair of God
and does not injure the person who fires it in
the least. The bullet however penetrates
space with great speed and force and often
finds mark the marksman little meant
Many windows have been broken by these
swift and silent messengers and several
heads have been smartly raped by direct
shots or recoils. There is an ordinance of
the city imposing fine of $40 for the offence
OF shooting with bow and arrow in the
street. Taking that as a unit, the fine
for using an air-gun anywhere within the
city limits, ought to be at least $1OO, for the
amount of damage that an air gun can do
when reused to action is at least five times as
great as that of the most dangerous arrow of
modern times.

are only premature however, for they speak

the synopsis inaccurate but the effect of it
was quite contrary to the effect Of the opin-

appeared to be from this synopsis, it is in
