The most wonderful of the free acts which will be presented in front of the grand stand during the coming state fair is that of Frank G. Odell, the Bee wizard" who enters cage in which are confined thousands of live bees, and makes them perform all kinds of tricks obeying his voice. as any other trained animal.
 The performance Is said to be not only amusing, but entertaining and instruc- tive.
 The bees are absolutely docile, under his influence but MT. O'Dell invites any one to try to enter the cage while the bees are in motion.

Petition for Better Service

The residents of Shadyside and Tuxedo have petitioned the directors of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany to separate the Tuxedo car line from Wylam and give them an independ- ent service As the matter now stands the cars run clear through from Vivian to Tuxedo, with stop at Ensley. The residents of Shadyside and vicinity con tend that there Is much more traffic on the Wylam end and consequently more delays, especially since the advent of the Corey line, which used the Vivian track to Thirty-fourth street, and that they shave to bear the burden of these delays.
