ing at eight o'clock the inspection of

man in the company is expected to
be present as it will mean five dollars
20 the company for each man in at
tendance at the inspection, a fact
which Captain Johnson desires to
have special attention called to. In
connection with the inspection, an
other matter which is forcibly
brought to the attention Of the public
and the city authorities is the ccnG;-
tion Of the Armorv building itself.
which it is claimed is in such Il poor
STATE of repair that it is no; a fl
place in which to house either the
men or the equipment belonging to
the company. It would seem that
something should be done about it

Ariake Bays Mystic Fire.

Shiranubi, the mystic fire of Ariake
bay, Kyushu, has been famous for the
past 1000 years, the sight being con-
sidered one Of the great wonders Of the
Japan seas.
In a recent issue of the Taiyo Maya
zine NJ. Kaneko, teacher in the Shi-
mabara middle school, relates his i'm
pressions of the fire. According to Mr..
Kaneko, when he witnessed the spec
tacle the first light appeared like a star
about FIVE miles distant. Suddenly the
volume of light increased until it soon
covered an area Of many miles. The
light moved with the waves and re-
sembled electric lights being lighted
and then suddenly extinguished. MI
Kaneko says that intermittent wave
like movements are the chief charac'
teristics of the mystic fire. He fails
to find cause for the origin Of the fire
