the matter of better hotel accommoda-
tions in Worcester. TIE matter which
had its origin with several business
men of this city was taken I'D at the
monthly meeting of the directors last
night and referred, after informal dis
cussion, to the committee on new en-
terprises The gist of the discus
sion was to the effect that Worcester
has several hotels, but that none of
the number are up to the standard set
by other cities Business and travel
ing men have given the matter con-
siderable thought and finally asked
the Board Of Trade to consider the
question.

tl9nal in its outcome, vet, at the same

pointed to draw up resolutions on the
death and service of the late Hon

had any suggestions to make The bill

bers of the directorate expressed their
approval of the gold standard.

securing lower freight rates by means
OF electric railways. The Brockton
board introduced the bill providing for
carrying freight on electric railways.

the board are now calling attention to
the work and urging boards of trade
throughout the state to take action on
the matter The communication was
laid on the table pending action of the
next legislature.

who has a tuning fork. Take 1t to a
spiders web, set the fork vibrating
and touch the edge Of the web lightly.
Mr. Spider has the buzzing sound con-
veyed to him by the threads Of his
web. He will run to the center Of the
web quickly, and feel all around until
he touches the thread against which
the fork Is sounding; then, taking an
other thread along. just as man
would take an extra piece Of rope, he
will run out to the fork and spring
upon 1t, imagining that fly has been
enmeshed, for the sounding of the fork
against the web exactly Stimulates the
buzzing of a fly.
