Do the people of Cambridge want
to secure a new postoffice building?
If they do, the best way to prove
this fact is for them to go to Wash
ington tomorrow morning, as the
Salisbury people have done, in all
effort to show Congressman Coying-
ton and Senators Smith and jack
son that this place is entitled to it.
If the building is lost to Cambridge

Dor to go alone; if you want the
building, go with him.

"Magneto," the human live wire,
who appeared at the Auditorium last
night undoubtedly has one of the
most battling acts ever witnessed
upon that stage. Many hundred
volts of electricity are conducted
through his body, with which he
lights handkerchiefs from his arm,
gas from the tip of his tongue, and
does many other interesting stunts.
When he invites the boys to dine
with him, they are greatly surprised
to find they cannot participate in
the feast with as much nonchalance
as can ''Magneto," the peculiar
flavor of the. food and tingling of
the cutlery causing them to decide
to feast elsewhere. "Magneto"will
appear at the Auditorium two
more nights only.
