TIDAL IRREGULARITIES

ness of inland seas cause them TO per-
form most queerly.
Depth of water has great deal to do
with tidal irregularities. Out in the open
ocean. when the tide is abysmal-that is
to say. about 5000 fathoms-the speed of
the waves is astonishing. Where the de.th
decreases to five fathoms the tide pro-
ceeds at comparatively slow rate.
In England. for example. which is sur
rounded by narrow, land-broken seas the
result is that the islands get some of the
most terrible and dangerous tidal races
and currents. The most formidable of
these is the whirlpool between the is
lands of Jura and Scarba, on the west

to mountain torrent. The force of

Major Allen Resigns

that Major S. E. Allen had re-

agent and that E. D. Mossman
had been appointed his success
or. The major, we are informed,
sent in his resignation April %
and on May 5 Mossman's s appoint

are further informed that in this

having had another man slated

that accompanying Mr.. Aliens

ing since taking the office six
years ago, and a further recon-
mendation that Mr.. r.Mossman was
just the man to do that very
thing, which doubtless accounts
for the quick appointment.
Major Allen has been an eff
cient official and he voluntarily
lays down the duties of the office
in order to enjoy a less strenuous
life. He has rented a place at
Browns Valley where he will
spend his time after June 80, when
his successor takes Office Mr..
Mossman is to be congratulated
on his promotion. That he will
make good goes without saying.
His training for this particular
kind of work extends over long
period of years in his present
position and at other reserva-
tions.

Lightning Strikes
Church and Barn
Storm of Sunday Nj ght Causes Loss of
More Than $4,000.

considerable violence swept over

something like $1,000, upon
which there was an insurance of
81, 800 in one of the o. T. Axness
companies. The steeple of this
church was partly destroyed by
the wind year OR two ago and
was about to be repaired, the
lumber for this purpose being
already on the ground. A bell,
costing nearly 5000, was on it's
way out there and would have
been put up this week had the
fire not have occurred. The
church contained fine pulpit
and organ and had member

Rev. K. N. Rudie of this city is
the pastor.
A thunderbolt also caused the
destruction of T. B. Nelson's
barn in Bossllo township. Mr.
Nelson got out all of his stock
with the exception of one calf
which was burned, together with
the harness, feed, hay, etc. The
total loss was about 1000; in

Messrs. Earl Farley, Thos. Rus
sci, Harvey Crosby and Harvey
Bingham accompanied by the
Misses Helen Bleser, Helen and
Kathryn Mesmer AID Doris Rix
went to Sisseton Sunday morn
ing on one of the railroad motor
cars and spent the day at the
home of Mr.. Crosby's parents
at that place. The trip to Sisse-
ton and visit there were greatly
enjoyed but the return trip was
not so pleasant. The young
people left Sisseton about six
O'Clock Sunday evening but for
some reason the motor refused
to work and the boys began
pushing the car in the hope of
getting it started, but it was no
nse, and the only alternative
seemed to be to keep right on
pushing. By the time Wilmot
was reached this method of trav-
cling ceased to be a pleasure and
an unsuccessful effort was made
to get in touch with this city by
phone and get some one to go
up with an auto and bring the
young people home. Failing in
this the pushing of the car was
renewed and as the strain began
to tell on the boys the young
ladies got off and walked part of
the way from Corona, arriving
here at 700 O'Clock Monday
morning. Considering the dis
tance of 81 miles made in this
