when it is thrown on the sidewalk il
makes all the noise of an explosion but
without liking. 1t can then he
II
the performance repeated till the
1hrcwer makes some ore mad. Then
he gets smashed But the torpedo
never does til! it naturally wears out.

THE BUILDING ORDINANCE.
The regular monthly meeting Of the
city council will be held next Monday
night, and it is expected that some
changes Will then be made in the build
ing ordinance. While the ordinance
was intended to serve d very worthy
and important purpose. and in the
main does so. ii has been ascertained
recently that in some matters of de-
tail it is entirely too strenuous. Its en-
forcement puts the inspector in hot
water. and to fail to enforce it would
certainly immerse him in the con-
SOmme.
\ BURNING BLACKSMITH SHOP
About 8 o'clock esterday evening thu
fire department was called out by Il
fire at Frank Moss blacksmith shop.
Ii was first seen on the roof of shed
adjoining the shop and grew rapidly.
\ strong wind carried it under the iron
roof OF the shop and the whole place
was soon in flames. There was not
much about the shop that was inham-
mable and the fire was soon put out
after the fire department reached the
seat of disturbance. 1t is thought the
confla grafton was started by a fire
cracker.

MORTALITY AMONG Dogs
Though June and July are considered
the two healthiest months in the wear
here for the human family, the condi-
lions seem to be reversed in respect of
dogs. According to the vital stats
ties CT the town, as recorded in the Of
flee OF the city marshal. fifty-two ca
mines have died here il the last ten
lays. Another strange coirCideat is
that not = single one of them had
collar on when it was stricken down
Veterinarians. though, assert that in
this climate a cog that wears d leath-
y collar with u brass tag attached is
practically immune from death in any
form.
