IMMORAL PICTURES.
Regulations Concerning Display of
Obscene Posters.


Obscene Posters.
Inquiry was recently made by Mr.. c. c.
Stoufser of the District Commissioners as
to the law relative to bill boards and post
ers The inquiry was referred to Mai. Syl-
vester, the chief of police, who has reported
that by order Of the Commissioners of
February IL, 1891, no posters snail be put
up until they have been submitted to and
approved by the captain of the police force.
AS the law does not specifically designate
what is an immoral picture, the Commits
sioners directed that it should be literally
construed, and that any picture Of a female
exposing her form between the breast and
the knee should not be allowed TO be
posted.
Where question exists as to the OBJ
scenity of the pictures displayed. says Mai
Sylvester, the police have been directed TO
proceed in the premises. AS to the location
of the posters, he states, that is a matter
wholly under the building inspectors Office
unless the same are placed upon public
property If displays made thereon are
considered Immoral. and a number of per-
sons will give testimony to such effect in
addition to that of the police 1t would be
within the province of the department to
have the same obliterated and proceedings
had.

On one of many visits to China,
Eliza Ruhaimah Scidmore. author of

thus describes the impressive phe.

The moon was rising at the very
zenith, and it lizzied US to look up to
it. Each one stood evenly within the
circle OF his own clear cut shadow on
the ground, at that moment OF the
moons transit, and the bore was due;
but it WIS calm night, and it was
three.quarters of an hour after our
unaccus'umed ears hal caught the
first far distant, mntteriny undertone
before tie white thing was seen, a
ghastly line advancing as evenly over
the water, and as quickly, as the dark
shadow Of an eclipse sweeps over a
landscape. Nearer and nearer it
roared, growing greater and winter,
until We could see the whole cascad.

spray drops showering from the crest

As the 10-foot wall OF foam reached
the edge of tie piling and the junk
platform, it hoated the junks loose at
the instant. Each junk rode to the

rise, to lift itself bodily up, up, along
the sea wall before ones fascinated

Something held one fascinated to the
