At the recent meeting of the Boy Scouts
plans were made for nights program on
the American Flag, when questions will
be given and answered by each Scout &C.
cording to his original ideas. At the last
meeting Chester Grady was elected to
membership Basket ball for the present
has been discontinued in order that there
may be no danger from the epidemic
which has been prevailing. Walter G.
Hatch and Ben D. Field were among the
contributors whose names were not
given last week in the Boy Scout fund.
Letters from the Frederick party, now
in St. Augustine, Fla, indicate that they
will not regret not being in Belfast in Feb
ruary as they say: "We find old St. Au-
gustine as fascinating as it has always
been; tourists and visitors of high and
low degree walking in the middle of the
narrow streets by thousands; crowds in
the plaza afternoon and evening to listen
to the delightful music of the Vassela
band; golf fields constantly occupied and
the many pleasures of the ocean beaches.
Travel in Florida is more than usual,
that is certain. On our recent trip from
Jacksonville Mrs. Frederick sat for
portion of the run on two suit cases, the
rest of the party standing. The weather
has been rainy, but is now delightful. The
vegetable gardens are coming along fine
and roses blooming constantly"
Several people enjoyed a robin show
Saturday in the garden of the Swift
house at the corner of Cedar and Miller
streets. The poor little fellow had found
the frozen berries on the tall barbarv
bush and seemed very happy over his
good fortune. This is the only bird to be
reported, not including, of course, the
ever present English sparrows. e. P.
Brown had the pleasure last Sunday of
calling several bird lovers to enjoy the
pleasure of seeing eight Bohemian wax
wings, feeding on the seeds of frozen ap-
pies On trees near his home ON Union
street. These birds are beauties and sell
dom seen in this vicinity. They have soft
gray bodies, black threats, with dashes of
red, white and yellow on their wings
They also have most decided tufts on
their proud little heads.
