Clerk-Carrier Examinations.
MAY 2, 1908,

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that on May 2,
1908, an examination will be held for
the positions Of clerk and carrier in
the Post-Ofice Service in this city.
This examination offers an excellent
opportunity for entering the Federal
service to bright, energetic young per-
sons who are not afraid of hard work,
and as previous examinations have
failed to result in sufficient number
of e1gib1es, the Commission urges all
persons who are qualified, and who may
desire to enter the Post-Ofice Service,
to apply for and take this examination.
It may be stated that there is a wider
field for advancement upon merit in
the Federal service than in many
private emp1oymepts. While the salary
in the st-Office is usually about
$500 or 5000 per annum at the start,
this amount compares favorably with
the compensation of a beginner in
private employment.
This examination will be held in

who are residents of this city or
this part of the state, and not more
than one clerk-carrier examination

eligibles can not be secured from the
other register. This notice is given in
order that the persons who may desire
to become. eligible for positions in this
office may file their applications and

Use of the Ewes.

A few months ago the world was
startled by the suggestion of an Opt
mistic oculist that the blind might be
able to see by means of the X-rays
Now it appears that these sanguine
hopes have been, at any rate, in part
fulfilled by Doctor Astudillo of Hav
ana
The man who has been cured was
originally a resident of Madrid, and
was suddenly stricken blind twelve
years ago. Eventually he went to
Cuba, where he came across Doctor
Astudillo, an oculist, who invited him
to his house in order to see if any
thing could be done in his case
After treatment he became able to
differentiate between black and white
in the daylight, and gradually to see
and describe machinery Of the appar-
atus, as well as count the flashes of
incandescent lamps in the physicians
