In carrying one end, Salvo had to walk in semi circle, Muirhead's assertion was that Salvo grasped the pipe in the middle and he tried to go around the end with his car.

OPPOSITION TO DOUBLE TRACK
 AT STAMFORD
Citizens to Fight Proposi- tion at Gathering in Town
 Hall, Tomorrow.
Especial to the Far1ner)

Stratford, June 12-It is expected that much opposition will develop at the public hearing which will be held in the town hall Tuesday even ing June IS to consider the propo- sition of double tracking East Broadway from the Center to White street. The residents of this section have been holding meetings at each others homes for the last two weeks discussingy the question from every angle. One prominent resident of the avenue said today that not one tax payer on the thorougEeare is in favor of the double tracking and it is their intention to go in full force to the town hall and defeat the pro position.
 The Connecticut company asserts that double tracks will relieve the heavy traffic. The people claim that the street is not wide enough for double tracks and if they are laid no room would be left for vehicles to pass unless they drive on the troll ley tracks.
 pies of many places in Milford where there are single tracks the thorough fares are much wider than in Strat- ford.
 Thursday at 11:30 a. m. a hearing will be held before the Public Utii-
  sider the double tracking of the street and also the laying of a cross over in front of the Congregational church.

Music,

It by no means follows that the per- son able to play a piece of music accu- rately is able also to sing correctly. Tune, like genius, is gift of the gods, and many who are fine players, having mastered the notes mechanically, would cut a most ridiculous figure should they attempt to sing ofrhand even the commonest song, just as many who can sing with beautiful tune are quite unable to play on the instruments according to the scales.-New York American

Mind PressurA.

In meteorological terms a strong wind is anything from twenty-four to thirty seven miles an hour, a gale from thirty eight to ffty-f1ve miles and a storm from fifty-six to seventy five miles. Be yond that it may be described as a hurricane In the convulsion which destroyed the Fay bridge in December, 1879, the anemometer registered gusts of wind which exceeded 100 miles an hour. The connection between the ve- locity and the pressure of the wind is not yet known with absolute certainty, but roughly speaking a wind of forty miles an hour produces a pressure of eight pounds to the square foot and ffty-one miles a pressure of thirteen pounds.-London Chronicle.

The Pepner Vine,

The most common and widely used of all spices is pepper. 1t is a native of the East Indies, but is now culti- vated in various parts of the tropical belt of this hemisphere. The plant is a climber and has a smooth stem sometimes twelve feet long. The fruit is about the size of a pea and when ripe is of a bright red color. In culti- vatfon the plant is supported by poles. In some localities small trees are used instead of poles, for the best pepper is grown in a certain degree of shade.

King of England and France.

In the first year of the nineteenth century the king of England still bore the title of king of France. It was on Nov. 5, 1900, that the privy council, in consequence of the Irish union, decid- ed that the royal style and title should be changed from George III, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith,'' to George III, by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King, De fender of the Faith The abandon ment of the title of liking of France led to England's foreign official core spondence being carried on ill English instead of French.-London Spectator.

Poet Laureate.

The office of poet laureate practical ly begins with Chaucer, who assumed the title about 1885. After Chaucer the office was more or less in the shadow, but from Spenser in 1899 the line of poet laureate is pretty well filled down to the present time. The office is largely honorary and has not always been held by the greatest of English poets, Dryden, Wordsworth and Tennyson being the most illus trious of it's holders.-London Saturday Review
