ACTIVITY IN LEASING
There contirues to be a great in
crease in leasing activity here. One of
the most promising leasing operations
in the camp was started on Saturday
by Andrcgg & Kaylor of Vernon on the
estate of the Seven Troughs Golden

is based upon what is generally classed
here as one of the greatest surface

experienced detectives who hold wide
,ly divergent opinions on the subject.
Some are convinced that many women
steal simply because they cannot resist
the temptation to obtain something FOR
nothing. Certainly many women steal
articles for which they have no use
and who are so well off financially that
there Is no need to steal. Others hold
the opinion that "a thief is u thief,
whether she be woman in no actual
need or one who steals as means of
living without working. Certain it Is
that many an alleged kleptomaniac has

detecting thieves, secret signals and

Shower of Fish In Australia.

In a communication to the Royal So
ciety of Queensland, Douglas Ogilby re
cords the occurrence Of a shower Of
fishes which fell in Brisbane during a
severe hailstOrm on Oct last.
They were identified as the species
known as the trout gudgeon (kre~tius
adspersus). Such showers of small fish
are not unknown in other parts Of the
world. Sometimes after heavy rain
they are found swimming about in tbs
pools formed on the surface of the
fields
The explanation is that the waters
OF a pond or lake have been drawn up
into the clouds by whirlwind, carry
ing some of the smaller fry with them.
The latter, of course, promptly descend
again in the rain.-London Globe.

tracing her nostrils as she might in pass
