AS the easiest manner of bringing the

out that there is a dangerous hole in the
wooden bridgework covering the gutter
impediately along the St. Croix Club
building facing Church Street. The
planking has doubtless rotted, and may
be unsafe ia other places too, and this
being a spot where horses are often
drawn up, and persons continually pass
ing, there is considerable ,isk of broken
legs under present conditions.

SERR SJJPERSTITIONS

The daily life of the Serbian is said
to be full of superstition. He is su-
perstitious about the manner in which
he rises in the morning, about what
first meets his sight, how he dresses
and washes and whom he meets-of
what food he eats and the time and
manner of serving throughout the en-
tire day. Attention is also paid to
whether the cocks crow in time,
whether dogs bark much, if frogs
croak or the wind blows. Again spe-
cial notice is taken of the kind of rain
that falls, thunder, how stars shine, if
the moon has a halo, if it shines thru
a cloud, etc.
The "evil eye" is alone accountable
for disease and death. The Serbian
believes that for each malady that
flesh is heir to God has given a rem
edy. He believes that for each pain
there is a healing herb. He believes
in witches-beautiful young maidens
who come forth from the dew and are
nourished in a mysterious mountain.
They meet in the branches Of the trees
and are most dangerous at supper
time.

The cast was fair. one or two were

were more than the usual number
OF good voices among the princi-

Burton Lehman as the hero was
most satisfactory in his songs. be-
sides his voice ne is a trifie too pref
" even for the comic opera hero
and has plenty Of assurance, albeit
il is self conscious. Charles O'COl-
nor extracted plenty Of fun from
the role Of sam Benton: Berta Dom
was attractive and engaging in the
role of the cOncurs younger dough
ter and GENEVA Davis sang well
in the role OF the elder. George
Dunstan revealed perhaps the best
voice. singing the role OF the Gypsy
leader. Benz Hud. Viola Beasey as
Zaida played the violin skilfully but
otherwise was scarcely a convincing
vampire. The role is a difficult one

them Oriental" Her costume would
not crowd the property trunk; a
