The case went to the su- preme court and the decision of the lower court here was upheld. hence Judge Vert ordered the liquor returned Quiet Fourth
 A quiet Fourth of July was spent here today. Business was practically suspend ed during the day and the streets had the appearance of Sunday. However many of the business houses and resi- dences were decorated with the national colors.
 There were no special attractions. The ladies of St. Anil's Catholic church gave barbecue at Oakland park and there were many private barbecues and picnics. The day passed without any causalities, so far as known at this time. It was one of the most quiet Fourths in years.

The proportion of an iceberg which
will be under water is determined by
comparing the density Of the ice with
that of the surrounding sea water.
The densities Of ice and sea water are
nearly 80 and 1,O3, respectively, from
which it can be calculated that only
about one-ninth of the berg's bulk is
visible above the surface. No ice
berg could float with one-third of it's
