WARREN STREET PROPERTY OWNERS
 OPPOSE SHERMAN

Property owners and residents of Warren street appeared in large num- bers before the Aldermen last night against the petition of Adolf Sherman, the builder to extend four feet over the building line in Warren street and four feet over in West Liberty St. Judge A. B., Beers who appeared for the petitioner stated that the proposed structures would be two fine apart ment houses costing from S18,00O to $20.000 a piece and that it would im- prove the neighborhOod.
 If there was anyone residing in the street who did not appear in person to oppose the petition they had affixed their names to a protest or were rep resented by Attorney Frank NJ. Can field
 One resident said that MT. Sherman wanted the city to present him with about 800 sq. fit. of land which was worth about $1 per foot. He said that the 800 it in a three story building would make sufficient floor space to rent for $500 per year which was five per cent interest on S12,000. He said he would like the same permission to extend over the building line.
 Near the end of the hearing Alder man Paddock moved that the petition CT be given leave to withdraw. But the matter was left in the hands of the street committee to report upon. The opposition of one property owner against a petition to extend over the streetis enough to kill the proposition under the charter.

NO OPPOSITION TO DOUBLE TRACKING
 OF PARK AVENUE
How Abe Chelinsky Pared at
 Hands of Common Council.

No opposition materialized to the double tracking of Park avenue from South avenue to Seaside Park at the meeting of the common council last night. The street committee made a favorable report upon the matter and consent was granted.
 Abraham Chelinsky was granted permission to remove two houses from Warren to Gregory street, but was refused permission to move the same buildings to Atlantic street, west of Park avenue. The Atlantic street site was formerly owned by John E.. Foster and sold later to Waldo c. Bryant. Although MT. Eos ter was agreeable to selling the prop erty to MT. Chelinsky MT. Bryant was opposed to allowed Chelinsky to have the property to move old buildings upon, and he. prevented him from so doing.
 As Chelinsky intends suing Mr. Foster for alleged breach of contract the members of the street committee feared that to grant Chelinsky per- mission to move his houses to Allan tic street would be making evidence that would be used in the case.

CITY TO CONTEST CLOSING UP OF
 SOUTH AVENUE
On Advice of City Attorney Crane Valve Co.,, Must Defend its
 Action.

Upon the advice of City Attorney Cul Gnan the common council voted last night to oppose in the courts the ClCadng of South avenue extension by the Crane Valve Co. The advice came to the aldermen from the park hoard with the recommendation tha. the board adopt the following reso- lution: Resolved: That the city at torney be, ard he is hereby directed to promptly take such measures as will prevent the closing, or obstruc- ton of South. avenue extension, SC called, leading to Barpum dyke and to preserve the ros in question as a public highway" The resolution was adopted.
 The letter from the park board sis ned by President George M. Flames sta ted that the Crane Valve Co.,, last March, sent . letter to the Park board in which the members were informed that the company had put a fence around the westerly end of its South avenue property and if the Park board wanted to use the "wag- on trail' across their land the team sters would be supplied with a key wagon through at night must turn the key over to the company's watch man.
 ,the closing of this highway would prevent the carrying out of the plans of the park department and defeat the proposed extension of the trolley lines to the Seaside park both houses and eventually to Fayerweathers' Island.
 City Attorney Cullinan is of the opinion that South avenue extension had been used so many years as a highway that it has become a public thoroughfare.

The scorpion,s wonderfuI Ear.

I have studied the habits of the scorpion for many years and have often noticed how very sensitive SCOT pions are to the most delicate sound, musical or otherwise. Under the tho rax the scorpion has two comblike appendages, which are the antennae pectinataei. 1t is pretty well settled by physiologists and entomolOgists that in insects the antennae represent the organs of hearing These delicate structures are easily affected by the vibrations of sound. and there can be no doubt whatever that they are also affected by sounds quite inaudible to the human ear The slightest vibra- ton of the atmosphere from any cause whatever at once puts in motion the delicate structures which compose the antennae. to which organs insects owe the power of protecting themselves against danger as well as the means of recognizing the approach of one another.-London Spectator.

Accordingly he appeared in his own academic gown. which he wore by virtue of having received a degree from the University of Dublin, or, as 1t was then known. Trinity col lege.
