yesterday about a couple Of dead
ducks found on the city reservoir.
This morning we learned from Alder
man Hardy Of the waterworks com
mittee that Tom Cameron. the watch
man. found nine dead ducks on one
round. and there may be more.
Mr. Hardy said further that one
party out there a few days ago had
his dog to follow the boat until be
sank, and its body has not been re
covered. Other parties bringing their
dogs along had been In the habit Of
giving them a bath and in every way
possible. It seems, the water has been
polluted.
But all this has been stopped. Mr
Hardy said. and no dogs were al
lowed to be brought inside the en-
closure and the horses we're also en
cluded.
II is the intention Of the water
works committee to give our people
wholesome. sweet water. and every
precaution will be taken hereafter Il

In regard to the difference in size be-.
tween the normal waist and the normal
bust, ten inches is agreed upon by moA
authorities as the correct measurement.
In order to decide this question two
women physicians have been consulted.
One says: There Is no hxed propor-
ton between the Size OF the bust and the
size OF the waist, Still less can there be
any fixed measurement for either waist
or bust seeing that this must vary with
the height OF the individual and other cir
cumstances. The general rule about tne
typical female figure is that the breaath
Of the shoulders should correspond 70 the
breadth OF the hips. The size OF the
waist varies not only with the expansion
OF the lower part OF the chest, hut also
with the development of the muscles ana
the amount OF fat upon them.

compression of the parts needed In order

on the subject said, In my opinion ten
