Another vent hole has opened at
Monte Grigio. and the inhabitants
have fed to the plains.
The crest of Mount Etna presents
a terrifying spectacle. Heavy smoke
lies over 1t, with frequent brilliant
flashes. and the bombardment which
is continuous along the line nearly
two miles in extent is like the firing
Of heavy artillery.
Everything in the way of the lava
stream has been carried before it
Groves of trees have been uprooted
and set on fire, and the lava stream is
sweeping through the fields, sending
out for miles around hot waves ol
resinous smoke.
i The peasants have left their homes
carrying with them the aged, the sick
and the children, and whatever meag
er belongings they were able to get
4 together.
Whole regions covered by the
/ hardened lava from past eruptions
have been torn open by the frequent
earth shocks. Many of these quakes
have been of great violence, and The

Messina disaster.

good in the world of mechanical arts.
Rex is at the head of company in

adjustable bed, invented by him, and
which is designed for use in hospitals
That he is meeting with success is
evidenced by the fact that one Port

stock in the company In a recent

peared a page advertisement setting

inquired at the only hotel in the little
town if he could be lodged for the
night, but was informed that it was
full up.

surely you don't want me to sleep
under the starry but chilly skies?"
Well" said the proprietor, the
best we can do is to make you up a
bed in the passage and curtain it off
for you" And SO it was arranged.
In the dark watches of the night
the traveller awoke. a freezing draft
chilled him and the sheet which had
been hung up as a partition was blow
ing merrily in the breeze. The trav-

There is a million dollars worth of
building and construction work in
sight for Pendleton if all goes we'll.
Half of this amount will be expended
by the state on the branch asylum
and the other half million will be for
public and some private. First upon
the list comes a new high school and
the completion of the Lincoln school.
The bond election tomorrow will be
the opening battle of the Improvement
campaign and much depends upon
how it goes. The defeat of the school
bond issue would be bad for Pendle-
ten. 1t would take the heart out OF
those who are trying to build up the
city and it would encourage certain
men to go ahead and block other i'm
