have been fortunate enough to see 1t, and Is
long remembered as being uniQuie of its
kind. This is particularly true since the
interior Of the city post office has been
Illuminated by the new electric lights pro-
duced by sending the current through mer-
curry in long rods AS seen from the court
through the glass these lights give out
brilliant colored Illumination which has
been variously designated, but which to
some seems beautiful peacock blue. 1t
is very effective in adding to the general
picturesQueness of the scene. however 1t
may strike the eyes of those who work be-
meath the glass.
Another feature Of the recent improve.
ment in the court Is the removal from tha
upper corridors of the long files Of records
and documents piled up on implanted white
pine boards. which marred the fine gem
eral effect to which I have adverted. The
palms are now kept fresh and green and In
it's entirety the court presents a much Inn
proved general appearance and should not
be overlooked by residents and visitors alike
who may be fond OF such interior views.

helped the "moderates" or ''mu-
nicipal reformers" as they are variously
termed. to defeat the ''progressives'' at the
recent London county council election and
capture an overwhelming majority of the
seats 1t is probable that one of the first
things tie victors will do will be to put a
stop to the OF London county council
schools on Sundays for the propagation OF
socialistic doctrines. The London county
council has been in the habit of letting
many OF these schools on the Sabbath to
various bodies for supposedly religious ex-
ercises at merely nominal rentals In this
way the socialists obtained possession of
thirteen of them.

the pension office has long been considered
