Road Overseer Otto Hjelle got
through with the road work for the

to be an excellent boss in managing
the road work, and our roads are
now in as fair a condition as could
be done with one years road work.
It looks as though p. Subdahl is
again going to move the road that is
running across his land. Well,
that is all right, Pete, the road ought
to be in its place.

There is a wonderful n-chimpanzee
at the Aquarium in London. He was
found on the Congo river, is years
old, stands 4 feet high and weighs
fifty-six pounds. If he lives, which is
always an open question, for Chin
panzees are exceedingly delicate, he
may reach the age of 40. He is mar
velously intelligent and his instinct
for imitation is very acute. Whatever
he sees a person do he Immediately
starts to do himself. For example,
when he travels in the train he rises
and wipes the window with handker-
chief so that he may enjoy the passing
view, and when he is taken to the
seaside he gets bucket and spade
like the children and makes castles
in the sand. He is curiously sensitive
and sobs like a child when roughly
spoken to. He is most industrious
worker and his tricks on a tricycle. are
wonderful; he can ride a machine in
seven different ways. He dresses like
q man, but distinctly dislikes the high
hat, preferring a sailor. He lives on
bananas, milk and cocoa.

DRY advanced by NJ Wing at the re-

deny of Natural Science that the color
of the atmosphere, usually called the
blue" sky, is due to such cause This
azure tint has hitherto been ascribed
to the refraction Of light on minute
particles of solid matter suspended
in the air. NJ. Wing has made num-
Der of experiments with luminous rays
injected into numerous solutions con-
tanning suspended matter, and, though
he has easily obtained red, violet and
yellow tints, he was only able to get
blue by the use of electricity, and then
he was able to obtain it in a perfectly
pure atmosphere. He, therefore, con-
cludes that the blue color is an essen
tial quality of the air and due to cleo

the weight of the trolley is carried on

salt or saltpeter, of such a character as
to increase the conductivity of the
