season opens and the devotees of
Isaac Walton's pastime will be hap
py. The local anglers for some
time past have been making heavy
preparations and many have IN read
mess their rods, tackle, reels, hooks
and other things requisite to the
sport. This year the wary trout
may be ensnared fifteen days sooner
than last year when the season did
not open till May l. For many
years the opening day was April IS
but three years ago the legislature
made change in the game laws
and May l was set as the first day
for legal fishing. Last year the
legislative body of the state restored
the old time limits and the season
now runs from April Is to Sept. l
inclusive instead of to Aug. Is as it
did for few years.

The Prophetic Gift.
Chief of Police

That there are persons today who
possess the somewhat unCanny gift
of being able to predict future events
Is probably true. The wife of the late
Sir Richard Burton, the famous tray
eler and linguist, not to mention other
instances of her weird gift, annOunc-
ed the very first time she saw Burton
at the time Il perfect stranger whom
she had met quite casually, that he
would be her husband. AT the pres
ent moment, too, there is said to be Il
man who has manifested such an eN-
traordinary faculty of predicting things
that are about to take place that a
number of medical men have purchas,
ed the reversion of his brain In order
that they may examine that organ aft
er death to see If 1t shows any special
development to account for his won
derful gift.--Grand Magazine.

A Cane In Defense.

eff you want to keep Off holdup
men," said an old detective to the OBJ
server, "carry a cane. A holdup man
Is more afraid of a cane than he is Of
a revolver. He's deathly afraid that
the man carrying it will jab it in his
face or eyes or get the end of 1t In his
mouth. On this account they're just
as much afraid Of a small light stick
as they are Of a heavy one. There are
so many different ways Of using a
cane that a man doesn't know just
which way to guard against It And
any man can use 1t. Nine men out Of
ten who carry revolvers couldn't hit
the side of barn with them, and the
'holdups' know 1t, but 1t doesn't take
any skill or practice to learn to slam.

Buildings Mainly of Wood.

The great majority of the buildings
were of wood and were completely
destroyed, but structures of other ma
terial were almost as quickly and
thoroughly incinerated by the fierce
ness Of the blaze.
All the banks, more than three
quarters of the churches, half of the
business blocks and nearly all the
schoolhouses were wiped out. One
hospital and day nursery were de-
stroyed. In the turmoil many of the
sick and infirm found difficulty in OBJ
tanning assistance and several of them
had narrow escapes.

places for many of the sufferers,
schoolhouses and other public build

the stricken city were thrown open to

emergency use up to any reasonable
amount at the expense of the state
and dairy and bakery companies gen.
erously contributed large supplies of
their products, which found their way
promptly to the sufferers, but not
withstanding the efforts of all sides to
render aid there were thousands of
homeless ones who passed the night
wandering the streets or shivered in
the parks and squares. Many of the
unfortunates applied at police head,
quarters for shelter and were cared
for temporarily In the courthouse.

FIRE LOSS ENORMOUS
One.third Of the City Of Chelsea,
Mass, Is Destroyed.
Three Lives Known to Have Been Lost
and More Than Fifty Persons
Are Injured.

Boston, April 13.-An apparently In
significant fire. which started among
rags on a dump In the city of Chelsea,
was famed by a northwest gale into
conflagration which obliterated
nearly ons-third of the city. Five
hundred dwelling houses and public
Buildings were destroyed, 1900 fami-
lies were driven from their habita-
tions, and 10000 people made home
less. Three lives are known to have
been lost and more than fifty persons
were injured. Accurate estimate of
the loss is impossible. The city So
licitor estimates it at nearly $S,000,-
900. The fire, which was the worst
Greater Boston has known in many
years, ragged before a 45-mile gale for
more than twelve hours, defying the
utmost efforts of the combined fire de-
partments of Chelsea and several
nearby cities and large detachment
of Boston firemen and apparatus.
The fire area, which was in the form
Of an slipse a mile and a half long
and half a mile wide at its broadcast
part, extended diagonally across the
city from a point near the boundary
between Everett and Chelsea to the
waters of Chelsea creek. 1t was use
less for the firemen to attempt to
check the onrushing flames before the
gale and their main efforts were to
prevent a spread of the fire on either
side, Their last stand was taken at
Chelsea square and for hours a doubt.
full battle was waged. Finally word
was passed that the firemen were win

Graduating Expenses.

The question OF graduating expenses
has become an increasingly serious
one to midshipmen at Annapolis. In
a letter to friend one OF the mem
bers OF the class of '0S, which Is soon
to be graduated. writes: Il had no
Idea that graduating was so expen-
siye. | have just ordered my neces-
sary outfit. II cost $1,000, and there
are still incidental expenses to be met
In connection with my graduation
which will amount to several hundred
more. Many OF my classmates tell me
that their bills are even heavier. and
think only few OF the members
or the class have been able TO save
much from their salaries TO anticipate
these bills. We are all wondering now
how we are going TO meet them" TN.
der the regulations OF the naval
academy the paymaster reserves 81
from the salary OF each midshipman
each month in order that he may have
IAN amount available" to meet his
graduation expenses, This provides,
however. only little over 5000 at the
end of the foureyear course.
