ably fatally injured by the falling or
q three ton safe that was being hoisted
into the third story of the Mercantile
bank building at Dey street. 1t had
been hoisted to the third story when
the pin on which the pulley sheaves
rested gave way. This let the safe
suddenly sag so that it snapped off the
support above and down it went.
Meehan, who was directing the hoist
ing of the safe, and who was ON top
of it, fell with 1t and landed on top
of 1t, crushing four of mis- ribs and
injuring himself internally. He died
within an hour
Magnusser was standing on the end
of one of the skid planks inside the
room. The falling safe, striking down
the outside of the plank, cause the in
side part to fly up like a catapult.
MagnusSer was hurled up in the air so
hard that his face struck the ceiling.
His front teeth were knocked out and
his skull was fractured at the base.
He cannot live.
The safe struck the sidewalk, crushed
through the siX-inch flagstones of the
sidewalk and buried itself to one-third
of its height. Alfred w. Reynolds, the
foreman in charge of the job, and Wal
ter Edwards one of the movers, were
arrested charged with criminal negli-
gence and both are held in $500 bail
for examination.

Contradictory Proverbs.

"Proverbial wisdom, it must be
borne in mind" writes F. L. Hulme in
a book, "Proverb Lore" just published
in England, deals sometimes with
only one aspect of truth. The neces-
sary brevity often makes the teaching
onesided, as the various limitations
and exceptions that may be necessary
to a complete statement of truth are
perforce left unsaid One pocerbrrah
perforce left unsaid. One proverb,
therefore, is often in direct contradic-
tion to another, and yet each may be
equally true. Solomon, for example,
tells us to Answer a fool according
to his folly, lest he be wise in his own
conceit;' and he also tells us to An
swer net fool according to his folly,
lest thou also be like until him E.
"The two modes of action are in
direct contradiction yet each is equal
ly valuable in it's place and according
to circumstances one or other of them
would be the right course to pursue.
To the restless, unstable man we may
well quote the well-known adage, "A
rolling stone gathers no moss; but,
on the other hand, it is equally true
that "A tethered sheep soon starves. p"
