Observations.

No man Is accountable for the mistakes
of his friends.
Don't call spade spade when it is
shovel.
No man ever yet minded his own business
who didn't get into trouble.
However great some mems abilities are,
their liabilities are always greater.
A man is frequently known by the COM
pany he keeps out of.
Honesty is the best policy, because it is
the only policy which insures against loss of
character.
Don't lose sight of an honorable enemy;
he'll make good friend.
The soaring hawk has no ear for music,
and rates the cry of the partridge above the
song of the nightingale.
After while the king will do no wrong,
because he will never have chance.
The man who believes in ghosts may be
better citizen than the one who does not be-
lieve in his fellow creatures.
Fashion and decency should be always on
good terms.

The lecture 0f DR.. w. A. Colledge at the
Baptist church on "Wednesday evening. sub
ject, Tropical Africa. WAS treat enjoyed
by only small part of the people OF
Ow0ssO. The DIR. Is pleasing speaker,
has his subject well In hand, gives his hear
ers the facts concerning great country in
such Q way that they will be long rameMl-
bered-in fact his lecture was grand one.
All present hope to hear him again.

This 70 IN the interest particularly of the

BY an error our council proceedings were
not put in type for this issue,
A representative of THE TIMES visited
the city schools this week and ascertained
that there were enrolled in the city schools
this year up to April "a, 1888 pupils-a gain
of 1855 over the same date In 1890. There
are 1348 different sittings or seats for pupils
in the city. This number needs some re-
duction because there are four rooms seated
for about 80 pupils each, number too
large for good work in instruction. Another
very small room has AZ seats, when there
should not be over 20 pupils in the room.
Were 1t not for the fact that some pupils
have moved away, some are at work and
others sick, there would be a. lack or short
age of about $50 seats. The conclusion Is
evident that Owosso must, in the near
future, provide for more school room. About
fifty primary pupils have been denied en-
trance this spring on account of want of
room in primaries, and are not included in
the above estimate. The above showing
of enrolment for OwossO is far ahead, as
far as population goes, than for almost all
other towns in the state. 1t largely exceeds
the figures given i'm West Bay City and
Detroit. OwOssos school system is in good
shape and occupies prominent place i'm the
the front ranks of our state school system.

For he's the man to go ahead

And promenade GA afternoons

learned. 1t is not depicted on any OF
the sacred scenes in stone that tell the
strange stories Of the religions of the
nations of old, nor has 1t ever been
found mummified in the tombs OF
Egypt. Most likely the ancients thought
it an uncanny bird, and also danger

CHICAGO, Ill. July q-Juc@e Blodgett
decided the Phoebe Cousins case this morn
ing by rendering sweeping decision
against the eX-sccretary Of the board Of
lady managers of the Worlds fair The
court held in short that Miss
Cousins is out % office and out
for good, amt can not get back.
The case was decided or the exceptions
made by Miss Cousins TO the answer fled to
her bill for in iunction to restrain the de
PENDANTS from ousting her from Office. The
court held thai the board of lady managers
was created by the national com
mission, and received its powers
from that body These powers
extended TO the executive committee
of the board Of lady managers, and it had
full power 20 act. Inasmuch as congress
had not provided for the continuous session
OF the board of lady managers, it could
delegate s'powers to the committee. This
committee, the court held, was in fact the
board itself. The court therefore denied
the Injunction. Miss Cousins was not in
the courtroom to listen TO her defeat.
