THE SEWER TANGLE.

was voted in the last city election. The
charter amendment was primarily to
provide for sewer funds in case the
bond issue was not passed, it provid-
ing that the funds might be taken from
the general fund of the city instead Of
being raised by assessment.
A Matter of Prestige.
The opinion Of eastern attorneys on
the issue is desired because the bond
issue Is almost entirely an eastern
money transaction. Practically all Of
the bidders on the bonds are eastern
firms and they are said to value high
ly the opinions of about half a dozen
well known law firms in the east that
make a speciality Of bond business and
that have national regulations Of that
nature. It, was urged in the report
that the opinion Of such a firm as that
Of the Boston lawyers who have been
selected by the council would be ac-
ceptable to any bond dealer in the
country,
Other reasons given for employing
this method Of selling the bonds are
hat It makes II possible to procure a
better price for the bonds. that the
sale is expedited and that the examl-
nation of the bonds Is less expensive.
Another Method 0nered.
Another method mentioned in the
report which was not looked upon fa-
yorably by the committees and the
city attorney was the immediate adver-
tIsemcnt Of the bonds for sale in the
open market without previously sub

We sincerely believe regardless of
everything else advertised that If you

Printing Bills High.
In a resolution brought in by AL
derman Jones It was claimed that pri-
yate individuals Of the city are able to
procure the printing Of notices at a
cheaper rate than the city. The reso-

confusion in the introduction of ordi-

the city recorder, Alderman Turner

Science Notes.

Earthquake sounds are described as Variations of heavy rumbling, so low in pitch as almost to be more felt than heard Gin many cases inaudible to persons who are deaf to very low tones), and belonging to one or another of the following types: The passing of wagons, thunder wind, the fall of a load of stones, the fall of heavy body, an explosion or some other mis- eeHaneous sound. In strong earth qua1kes the sound area occupies cent ral region Con an average two -thirds) of the disturbed region; in moderate earthquakes the tow areas are approxi- rnately of the same magnitude; while In many slight earthquakes the sound area sis larger than the disturbed area. As a rule the beginning of the sound precedes the shock and the end of the sound follows the end of the shock.
 According to statistics just published Berlin appears to be an extraordinary healthful place for the aged, who live there in remarkably large numbers. A feature of the figures Is the much greater number of cid women in prU- portion to old men, and with every decade above 70 thes proportion in
 creases astonishingly. Tn Berlin the number of men between 70 and so is 12,S98. while the number of women is 25,204. For Greater Berlin the hR- ures are 20.04s and 7.H20 respectively. Of persons between 80 and 90 women are in an enormous majority. For Berlin the figures are 2,036 men and 5,3T1 women and for Greater Berlin 3,169 men and 7,810 women.

Danielson experienced it's worst electrical storm of the season Friday morning as a prelude to the first real rainy day in many weeks. The light ming flashed and the thunder rum bled in an appalling way, actually frightening many persons not usually given to hysteria. Just before o'clock the storm was especially severe, the binding flashes of lightning follow ing each other in rapid succession. Rain fell in torrents.
 Notwithstanding that the lightning was so severe and that it found sev- eral marks, there was little damage. The mill at Attawaugan was hit and trees in the woods north of Alexander's s lake were cut down. Four cars of the Connecticut lines, three open and one closed car. were put out of ser vice by the lightning and telephone service was so crippled that many lines were out of commission during all Of the day. The crippled cars managed to crawl back to the car house at Day vile under their own power.
 Reports came in from various sec- tions of the town relative to pranks played by the lightning but in every case there was account of only very slight damage or no damage at all.
