Caucasians dining on salted
petrels, and with relish, too, as

a luxury. OF all the fowl that haunt
the barren islands on the California
coast none are considered quite so

the seagull has his usefulness as o
scavenger on the bays along the coast,

New brunswick, n. j., Aug. 12.-The
sweet. strong voice OF Il Salvation Army

Nearly all OF the local lodges have their
quarters in buildings near or on the corner

The substitution Of Eaton az No. in place
OF Hecnx rs considered a good move, as

weighed considerably less than the other
men.
The four have been training faithfully
during the past few weeks, and nothing
was left undone which might assist the
men to get in proper shape.
Little coaching was necessary, for the
men have worked together 50 long that
the introduction of new methods would
probably be harmful rather than advan-
tageous. The one thing which may de-
Velop into handicap is the weight Of the
shell. 1t is the same boat used by the

The crash had come with such force and
intensity that while none or the occupants
of the house was directly struck by the
fiery bolt. every member of the family was
stunned for Some time
BY the prompt action OF the father and
one OF the older Toys who was less stunned
than the others the house was preyente{5
from taking fire. Several of the younger
children We're nearly paral wed by tire
stroke. and At wastliougiItfor some time that
enc OF them WAS fatally injured.
During the rcma indsr Of tbe downpour
the family lay about On the floor where
they had fallen, and were unable to
move, while the rain came down upon
tsem from the aperture which the light
ring rad made in the Roof. Gradually The
stranger members OF the family reesined
Consciousness and recovered from their
