A page and a half of The Musician Is devoted to an illustrated article on
 MusiooIony, which is located in Vest erly on what was formerly known as the Davis farm. The article is writ ten by Editor W. J. Baltzel with this introduction:
 'The founder of Musicolony, Dr. Franklin Lawson, well known con- cert tenor and teacher, of New York city, conceived the idea of trying to get musicians to form a sort of col ony somewhat in the style of several well known settlements of artists and actors. While searching for -desfra- ble location he came across a farm property near Westerly, R. l., lying between the Boston post road and the ocean, part of it heavily wooded and situated on high ground. Westerly is 8 thriving place, famous for it's gran ite works about three and a half hours ride from New York, and a little over two from Boston and one from Providence. Following the coast line the Musicolony property is about six miles east of Watch Hill. Block Island Is almost directly to the south about twelve miles.
 "Musicolony is intended to provide an attractive and healthful place for summer vacation, with the design of specially interesting musicians, edu- cators. professional men, artists and writers, who wish to comfortably prac- tically live out of doors, work under favorable conditions, if necessary, at composition, books, or other creative work, and at the same time build up body and mind by healthful exercise" 
 Mrs. C. B. Gray of Hartford and Mrs. Caruthers Ewing of Memphis, summer residents at Weekapaug, had an almost miraculous escape from se- rious Injury during the storm Wednes- day afternoon. They left Westerly on the 5.15 trolley car and rode to the terminal at Weekapaug They had gone but a short distance when both women were thrown down and stunned by flash of lightning. They were taken into the nearest cottage and attended by Drs. Keene of Phila- delphia and Lewis of Westerly.
 Mrs. Gray's legs were temporarily paralyzed, but circulation was returned and she was fully recovered by Thurs day morning. Mrs. Ewing was burned about the body and gold necklace she wore was burned off. Both women are still in nervous condition.
