insect Balloons.

Insects enjoying aerial navigation by
the use of balloons were recently
caught by a French naturalist, who
noticed them as small, bright objects
floating in the air and behaving as II
they were being steered. He caught
some of them and found them to be
viscous air bubbles one-fourth Of an
inch long, of uniform dimensions, and
showing iridescent reflection. Each
balloon was suspended by the feet OF
an insect resembling the hornet fly.

SEWER CONTRACTLET.

The town council has finally
closed the contract for the much
talked of sewer with Fred Hol-
ton of Huron. The cost will be
$4,000 and work will begin just
as soon as the material can be
shipped here. .
The contract calls for a twelve
inch tile from the we'll to Secoud
street, and a hfteenlnch tile from
Second to the creek. The depth
of the ditch will be eight feet,
thus making it possible for bus
mess houses on Main street to
have cellars.

Argus-,Leader: The announce
ment is made that Miss Marga-
ret Duthie of Miller, will be a
candidate for state superintend-
ent after the present incumbent
is through with the place. With
due regard to her qualifications
for the place to which she would
no doubt do honor, it should be
remembered that she is teacher
in Hand county, and that is
Where the school officers have so
uIucn more trouble in getting
the lady teachers to complete
their contracts. 1t would not
be at all surprising ii it was the
lucky man that sent out the
dispatch, and he may now be
laughing over the joke which he
has penetrated. With the rec
ord which Hand county has for
marriages among it's school
ma 'ams, it is a fair proposition
that the young lady who remains
single in that locality four years
is not entitled to be state super
intendent. However, ones mind
might change on seeing the
young lady.
