n the Editor Of The Evening Star:

Parrots are an intolerable nuisance to the

such they should be relegated to the glue

reach the owners of such nuisance, who
seem to have no conception OF rights Of
their neighbors to peace and quiet. beg to
suggest that you lend the aid OF your vaiu-
able paper to stamp out this abuse of our
rights by publishing the name and street
number Of each owner of such in the city.

The citizens of Cleveland awoke yester
day morning to look upon scene of un-
paralleled devastation and destruction
caused by a raging flood. While the entire
city was more less affected, the great
volume of raging water vented it's anger
over miles of the eastern portion of the
city, and caused amount of damage ap-
proximated at $1.OO0OO0.
The great overflow was caused by a ter
rifle rain that commenced to fall shortly
after o'clock, turned into perfect cloud
burst between the hours of 3 and ), and
then continued with great force until near
ly 10 o'clock.
The storm, according to the weather Of
ficials. was the heaviest that has swept
over Cleveland since the establishment of
the government bureau In this city,, over
forty years ago.
That no lives were lost is nothing short
of a miracle, as the stories of thrilling es-
capes from the water several of the
principal resident streets of the city are
told.
The surging waters spread over an area
in the east and nearly eight miles long and
a mile and half wide. This extended
from Woodland Hills avenue to East Cleye-
