Recent designations.

The present vacancies occurred through
the resignation. within q few days Of one
another, OF three man teachers at Bust
ness High School. Better positions offer
ed them elsewhere were the inducements.
The vacancies, it was believed, could
best be filled by men. So a man hunt
was instituted by the board Of education,
According to theory, there should have
been availab BILE timber to fill the vacancies
through the examinations held during the
last two years. 1t Is the rule. 1t is
stated. that any applicant for a teacher $
position who passes one Of the regular
examinations. but is not appointed. shall
remain on the list for a period of two
years without further examination.
BY this provision, theoretically, there
should always be a number of eligibles
for vacancies. AS matter Of fact. how
ever. during the last two years not more
than one Or two men have made applica-
ton.

GREAT TRUTH IN EPIGRAm
Few Words Of the Late Edwin A. Alb
hey Contain Whole Sermon
to MIsers.

THE late Edwin A. Abbey, the
American painter who lived in Lon
don. was only comfortably of, where
as he might have been rich"
The speaker, a Chicago art dealer,
had just returned from Europe. He
continued:
II dined one evening with Abbey In
his house In Chelsea. and after dinner
we walked in the blue twilight on tie
Chelsea embankment.
"As we passed Old Swan House and
Clock House! and the other superb.
residences that front the river, re-
preached Abbey for his extravaganza.
why said, pointing toward Clock
House, If you had saved your money.
you might be Lying in palace like
that today
But Abbey, with a laugh, rather
got the better of me. He ratified Off
this epigram-and it's an epigram TIE
always remember when I'm tempted
to be parsimonious:
Some folks he said, are 80 busy
putting something by for rainy day
that they get little or no good out OF
pleasant weather."

Qualified Prayer.

Marion's mother was i'll, and the
aunt who took her place at the head
of the household piled the children
with unaccustomed and sometimes dis
liked articles of diet. One day, after
being compelled to eat onions, Marion
refused to say CRAZE. n
Then you nustfsit al thu table w
til you are ready to say it," was the
aunts stern judgment. An hour or
SO later, when the brilliant sunshine
and impatient calls of her comrades
together comprised an irresistible APP
peal, Marion capitulated-thus:
"Oh, Lord, make me thankful for
having had to eat horrid old onions,
IL you can do it. But know you
can't"

Denies Raise for Officials.

Attorney General Kuhn In an opin-
ion rendered blasted the hopes OF GER
tain township officials and county
school commissioners, who expected
to tilt their salaries as a result Of a
law passed at the last session of the
legislature.
There is a provision in the act that
salaries of these officials may be in
creased, in case the people approve,
but Kuhn says that there Is nothing
In the bill which provides for the sub
mission Of the questions, and there
fore 1t Is of little value.
In another opinion the attorney
general holds that school commission
ers who assumed Office July / cannot
secure increases in salaries under the
new graded salary law, based on the
number Of schools In the counties. The
law makes 1t impossible for an cleo
tive or eppointive officer to receive a
decrease or increase of salary during
his tenure of office, and the new law
did not take effect until August 2.

Fair Visitors to Get Pure Food.

State Food Commissioner Dame an

ants and other lunch counters on the
grounds and to see to 1t that vendors
are providing clean. pure food for the

tors will perform similar service at
the state fair In Detroit next week.
1--WE have received complaints that
doctored food is offered by some
greedy statesmen at these fairs and
we propose to put a stop to the prac-
tice," said Commissioner Dame.
There is no reason why these lunch
men should sell poor foodstuffs and

Formal notice was sent out
from the executive once at Lam

pointment by Governor Warner to sue
ceew the late Thomas Navin. whose
term would not have expired until
1913. Under the law II seems to be
explicit that recess appointment ex-
pires at the conclusion of the next
subsequent session of the legislature
The attorney general advised the gov
ernor that he could name successor
to Haggerty, and the chief executive
did SO.
The same procedure was followed
when the governor named a successor
to e. A. Phillips of Fenton as a men,
Der of the board of control of the Ionia
reformatory. and the supreme court
will be asked to pass on the COVER
nor's action.
Mr.. Haggerty declared that he would
fight the thing out until 1t is decided.
Just what action will be taken
will depend upon the advice of my at
torney." said Mr.. Haggerty. If the
governor does not deem me fit to be
member Of the board let him file
charges against me, but In the mean
time l shall continue to act, and II
any attempt Is made to bar me from
the meetings will be prepared"
AS a matter OF fact, the governor
makes no charges. but simply stands
on the proposition that he is advised
that under the law he has right to
name Haggerty's successor, which is
the question the court will be asked
to decide.

HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN DANGER.

II cannot be pleasant thing to live
next to historic pile which threat
ems to tumble down. A few months
ago there were fears that the wonder
full leaning tower OF Pisa was unsafe.
but investigation resulted in reassur-
ance. For some reason new appre-
tensions have arisen. The fact that
Father Alfani, the world-renowned
seismologist. has been engaged to look
into the matter would indicate that
what is dreaded is the effect of earth
oscillations. which must be frequent In
Italy. says the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
But the pressure Of the wind on the
ancient edif1ce is the subject of scien-
tific measurement. and Father Alfani
has constructed an instrument by
which the minutest influence can be
ascertained. The Bank Of England is
modern structure compared with
Pisa's leaning tower. but the "Old
Lady Of Threadneedle street." as the
bank is affectionately named by Lon
doners, was constructed upon wooden
piles. and these have shrunk away,
leaving a space of several inches be-
tween them. 1t was the rotting of the
piling beneath 1t that caused the fall
OF the Canpanile at Venice. The piles
under the Bank OF England are being
removed and six-foot raft of con,
crete is superceding them. The "Old
Lady's" position was. no doubt. peril

Owners Of unrecorded mortgages, on
which portion Of the principal has
