A Freak Of Nature

How surveyors sometimes lose their
datum points through tricks Of nature
is illustrated by the street boundary
at the corner Of Silver and Elm street
at the southern corner Of the lot of
the Soper estate in this city. While
the boundary is not lost in the sense
that it is not known where 1t is, yet
it is no longer possible to straddle a
surveyors transit over the point. 1t is
marked with square-topped granite
post rising six or eight inches out OF
the ground, which once was close be-
side an elm tree at that point. The
tree has now grown to such dimen-
sions that the granite marker is now
entirely within the tree except on the
western side. A few years more
growth will completely bury the mark
er from sight. When the local engi-
neers were surveying Silver street re-
Gently to re-establish the old bound
aries they were forced to measure out
several feet and establish a point on
the border of the sidewalk over WHICH
to set the transit.

near their home on lower Silver street.
small doe deer. which was appar-
emily on it's way from the small patch
of woods there across Silver street.
The deer had nearly reached the street
when an automobile went by and it
turned and ran back to the shelter of
the woods. 1t did not appear to be
frightened and went back into the
woods in easy lopes. 1t is unusual to
see deer so near to the down town
section of the city and was quite a
novelty.
