THE NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Favorable Views Expressed by Conn
missioners Beach and Ross.

Engineer Commissioner Beach stated
this morning that he was most emphati-
cally in favor Of the erection of new
municipal building
The building which we are now using
although the best which could be obtained
is totally inadequate for the uses to which
il is put" said he. The Offices are in
conveniently arranged and we are cramp-
ed for room. / think beyond a doubt that
the erection of a new municipal building
would be of great benefit to the city in
many ways. People who visit this ctv
when shown the municipal building are
surprised, for naturally they expect 10 see
more cOmmOdiOus and handsome struct
ure. / hope that Mr.. Mercers bill will
be passed in this session"
Mr.. Beach will, If the bill is enacted
serve on a commission consisting of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Attur-
ney General whose duties will be 10 pur-
chase or otherwise secure site for the
proposed building. Commissioner Ross.
this morning said:
Il am heartily in favor of the establish
ment Of a new District Building for many
reasons. We can hardly accommodate at
present our various departments and many
of them are not is this building at all.
Then again the building is one which is
not by any means an ornament to the city
as municipal building should be- | feel
certain that Congress will pass the bill

able said Prof Garrett, chief Of the

be said for certain when the mildness' OF

1t may be said that the cold weather

Many old superstitions cling around the
20th of March, especially relating 10 the
cuckoo. This is said TO be IL day on
which the song of the cuckoo is first
heard. and one legend, popular in some
parts of this country and England af-
firms that whatever a person is doing the
first time he hears the cuckoo he will do
most frequently all the year.
Another popular belief is that an un-
married person will remain single as
many years as the cuckoo, when first
heard utters its call.
The Danes have a curious custom con-
corning the cuckoo. When in the early
springtime the voice of the bird is first
heard in the woods. every village girl kiss
es her hand and asks the question,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, when shall | be mar

age and rheumatism, enquire, Cuckoo.
