Remarkable Incident That Disturbed

dead, great excitement and fear at

Michael Serene, prominent merchant

Of grave the coffin and several per-
sons attending the services were
hurled into small pit.
The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo-
ment one of the pallbearers acci-
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin,
quickly descended into the grave. the
body going feet first. The assistant
hastened its descent by tumbling on
it. Several persons rushed to the
edge of the grave, causing the soil to
yield, and in a few seconds five per.
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid fiat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was
completed.-N. Y. Press.

WHEN THE FISH HURDLE.
Man Wanted to BE Far Away From
the Danger Spot. :.

Of course at this season the usual
run of fish stories" are going the
rounds. But one relating to the
hurdling prowess of bass and trout,
which was told in all earnestness the
other night, takes first prize.
Fish always go up stream in the
springtime," said the fisherman, "and
scarcely anything will keep the bass
and trout from getting near the head
waters. | have known these two
species to jump over dam eight to
ten feet high and continue their up
stream journey"
What was that you said?" re-
marked friend, who also claims to
be somewhat of an angler. The man
repeated his assertion that he had
seen fish jump over dams eight to ten
feet high, and as there was no one
present to deny the hurdling abilities
of the fish, the only challenge to his
remarkable statement was a laugh by
all hands.
well, | trust will never be on the
top of Niagara falls when one of those
hurdling fish you speak of comes fly
ing through the air and hits me in the
eye" remarked the friend. That
broke up the fish stories for that even
ing, but the man still insists that
ten-foot dam can be hurdled by either
a bass or trout.

Once More nPerpetual Motion. .

combines a genius for mathematics
with passion for music, claims to
have invented machine which will
secure perpetual motion. He is now
in Adelaide, the capital of South Aus
tralia, seeking the means of testing
the feasibility of his mechanism. He
explains that the forces which he pro
poses to use are gravitation and mo-
mentum and he had to come to Ade-
laide to seek the assistance of the alb
orinines department in procuring four
beVeled wheels, a spindle, tube and
so on. He is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
gether a machine which will bring
perpetual motion appreciably nearer.
