 Some papers are ridiculing the lower branch of the Massachusetts legislature for passing the "cat act" a measure for licensing cats. The bill was passed 79 to Al. Cats do not multiply quite so rapidly as does the house fly, but friends of the birds and those who have the best interests of agriculture at heart will look with approval on this effort to preserve bird life. So long as each farmer is al- lowed to keep one unlicensed cat, there will not be any immediate dan ger of cat extinction. -.*......

The view from the bungalow is considerably obstructed to the south and south -east by forest growth and there is some talk about having a more convenient observation station, or tower built and furnished with private telephone. Mt. Ochepe- tuck or Bald hill, as the "common people" still like affectionately to call it) has not so wide sweep in all di- rections as when the Rev. Samuel Ives Curtis wrote his beautiful tri- bute to "Bald hill. ' But, "what's in a name?" Whether we call it by the good old English name of Bald hill, or by the Indian name of Mt.

Sneeze,' the fact remains that God made it, when the earth was young, and it remains for all behold CTS, a grand and beautiful elevation.
