EDITOR.
In answer to the question given last week
by an X Y Zian, all A B CIDER gives the
following answer. If the fire happens to
have its origin in the top ola building, it
necessarily must burn down, Otherwise, up.
No.ls wants to know the shape Oft kiss
as she wishes to paint the article on the new
front windows. No. 25 will please tell her
A question for certain X Y Zian who
frcuuents the butcher shop. How many
teeth has q months old calf not counting
wisdom teeth:
No. "a would like to know the location of
the gizzard Will the doctor Of the school
kindly inform her?
1t has grown to he quite mystery why
No lS's eyes are SO often turned in south
casterly direction. The question has now
been decided, for where her eyes are, there
must her heart be.
Dame Rumor has it almost an assured
fact that young Minerva from our revcred
college will obtain first grade certificate.
Aud we sincerely hope so for we heard an
old lady remark, "if Minerva didn't git II
certify kit she would git n it," and AS fit
is not legal qualification tor school,
marin, unless it nc similar to the commcnda
bic manner in which our gallant NJ. j. G. BIS
fit against general discord, or as the atorc
mentioned old lady would remark, she was
fifteen to teach" then we would have to
change Certify kit to kitten to rhyme with
fifteen and we are sure the young lady in
question does not possess sufficient old maid
propensities to desire anything representa-
tive TO the feline tribe.
The other night went to bed,
But not to sleep, for my poor head
Was filled " it'll most awful dread
Examinations
Oh, welcome sleep, mt last it came;
But not to rest me, all the same;
For in my dreams this is my banc--
Examinations!
The closing of school is sad though sweet,
For We may part meyer to meet
With those we love to greet
At the old school house on E. Main Street,
The close Of school is here and although
we many times were tired and thought our
duties too hard to endure; we all feel sad
to think our school year is closing.
We hayc had an excellent teacher and
never through the whole year have we had
any cause whatever to complain. AS we all
know, our lessons haye been somewhat diff
cult but should we who want to be Excclsi
ors ever think Of saying can't?

Wife OF the Missing. Vancouver Health
Officer Here.

Mrs. Ada Huntley, wife of J. Huntley,
the Vancouver. B. c., health officer. who
disappeared in the fore part of December,
is in the city searching for her husband, or
rather for clues that may lead. to the dis
covery of his whereabouts.
Yesterday morning she visited Chief of
Police Jackson. She said that she had
been in Tacoma, but had learned nothing
When seen by Posr-INTELLIGENcER re-
porter a: 617 Spring street yesterday after
noon, Mrs. Huntley said for publication:
"My husband did not leave Vancouver
without my knowledge and my presence
here is simply to see person with whom
he conversed while in Seattle on December
Is. have heard from him several times
since he went away. but not for three
months now. This has made me a trifie
anxious and caused me to locate him,
if possible. 1 have written letter to
the San Francisco Chronicle and know
that if he is we'll he will see it as he always
reads that paper. MANY of my friends
think me foolish for my anxiety, but
cannot but think something may have
happened when his letters stopped so
suddenly"
"When did you hear from Mr.. Huntley
last?" asked the reporter.
Mrs. Huntley laughed slightly, and, as
she patted the head of pretty little child
she held in her arms, replied: well,
that is a matter I do not intend to talk
about. l can't see that my husbands dis
appearance affects the Seattle papers in
any way"
The reporter replied that it was a matter
of news on account of the prominence Of
the person in question and that if Mrs
Huntley knew her husbands plans any
statement as to names or places might aid
in the discovery.
Mrs. Huntley said that while she knew
something of his plans she did not intend
to make them public.
Mrs. Huntley said that she believed her
husband did intend to settle somewhere
and that business might have caused the
delay in hearing from him.
Chief Jackson, when asked about the
case last evening. said that so far as he
knew there was no cause for Mr.. Huntley
leaving Vancouver other than personal

P. s. Wilkes suit against Griffith Davies
TO recover the value of certain improve

The complaint set forth that the land in

commissioners. and that while in his pos
session it was improved by him to the ex-
tent OF $500. That afterwards, on July Is,

Improvements was made by the county
Commissioners at the time that they ap-
Praised the land.
Upon the trial Of the cause the defend
