Seriously speaking. the outcry OF
our British contemporary against mere

some attention. Noise Is easily mis-
interpreted as a sign OF vigorous en-
terprise in all lines Of human activity.
There Is a hustle Of trade which no

The City Park.

The City Park presents the neat
est, and most attractive appear
ance this spring of any time in its
history. The leaves and all other
rubbish have been cleared off early
and burned and the grass starts up
with intimations of a growth that
will cover the ground. A good deal
of work has been done here within
the past year that has added large
ly to the fine appearance of the park
and the convenience of those having
occasion to resort there. Super
fuous trees-some of them-have
been dug out and removed, giving
more room for drives; the brush on
the hillsides and on the fiat next to
the pond has been cut out and
burned; the trees trimmed and
thinned out; path graded along
the hillside from the road leading
down on to the flat to the lower
power house and falls. This foot
path is great convenience to the
employees of the electric lighting
plant, in passing from one power
house to the other. The bridge
across the creek in the glen that
was built last summer is a convent
ence for the electric light men as
we'll as for those who resort to the
park for pleasure and recreation.
AS the leaves appear on the trees
the park will be still more attractive
and it will be place of delight dur
ing the entire season. Mr.. Dunbar,
who cares for the park with pride
and a desire to put and keep it in
the best OF condition, has set out a
number Of plats with Towering
plants which will add to the beauty
of this beautiful resort. Tracts of
the driveways where the ground
was low have been covered with
gravel THIS spring ana the ROADS
down the hill have been widened
out so that teams may pass each
other. A neat bathing house was
built beside the pond last summer
and there are four or five boats on
the pond, the property of private
owners. The pond, the lower falls,
the winding path along the banks,
will make the situation still more
romantic and attractive. Several
picnic parties have already been
held at the park, where there is a
good we'll, kitchen with stove,
wood prepared, pals and cups, and
tables and benches convenient for
uSe. H

Thunder and, Lightning.

Jupiter Tonans seems to have a
grudge against this town, or per-
haps he considers it Partially, to
visit US SO frequently with fulmina-
tons of thunder and destructive
exhibitions of lightning.
The thunder storm of Tuesday
evening was preceded by and ac-
companied with high wind. The
electrical features of the storm en-
dured but a short time but made it
lively for the time. About the first
crash extinguished all the electric
lights in the north half of the city,
about half past nine. The dynamo
is two-phase machine, one phase
operating the lights north of Elm
street and the other those to the
south. The fuse of the north sec
ton was melted by the lightning ex-
tinguishing the lights. The south
ern section was not Interrupted.
The bolt that extinguished the
lights, or some other, followed the
electric wire into the Catholic par
sonage, smashed the washbowl in
the bath room and went down the
sewer connections doing little dam
age other than to the washbow1.
The residence of A. L. Lien, adj
joining the Catholic parsonage, was
struck, the chimney suffering the
most damage from the stroke. M.
Norseng's residence was struck, the
chimney above the roof demolished
and the fireplace moved. The resi-
dence of Burr Cook was struck and
damaged the most seriously of any.
The roof of the house was torn in
several places, the shingles stripped
off and part of the ridgeboard and
cornice torn away. The bolt en-
tered the north chamber and tore
off the plastering from the ceiling,
and most of the windows in the up
per part of the house were blown
out. Mrs. Warren Cook and Mrs.
Cook, cousin from ST. Paul on a
visit to the family, were in this
chamber when it was struck but
neither of them was injured.
Besides these four houses light
ming struck an outbuilding and a
number of trees in different parts
of the city. Up to this time we
have heard of eight places where
lightning struck within the space
of an hour.
