Arthur. ''Is it alive?"
'Yes, indeed" said Auntie Laura.
'Gribbie was very much alive when

''But what was Gwibbie?" questioned
Dorothy.
''Oh, yes" laughed auntie. "He was

in parts of Africa. They are smarter
than any other kind, and can be trained
to do lot of things"

II met Gribbie on board steamer. He
was on his way to the geological gar

ABOUT WEATHER SIGNALS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Will you explain through the columns
of your valuable paper the nature OF the
weather signals, that we may know all
about them, when We see them flying from
the flag staff OF the court house, and obllSe

to indicate the approaching condition OF
the weather. Thee signals are a square
white flag, q square blue flag, n square
white flag with black square in the cen
ter, square flag the upper half Of which
is white aud the lower half blue, and a tri-
angular black flag.
The white flag indicates fair weather;
the square blue flag, rain or snow; the
triangular black fiag indicates the coRdi-
ton Of the temperature; the square flag.
half blue and hrlf white, indicates local
rains. and the white flag with the black
square in the center means a cold wave
coming.
The triangular black flag seems TO be
the hardest to understand by those not &C
auainted with the signals. for it some
times is over and sometimes under the
other flags. When IL floats under either
of the other flags il means that the tenn
perature is about 10 20 down. while If it
floats over another flag the temperature
