SPECIALMEEW OrTHE W BOARD Paving Os Streets And School Alley Is Taken Up The town board held a special meeting, Monday evening, and the paving matter was considered. It was decided at this meeting that instead of paving from Main street south on Huntington to Pearl, the pavement would start at the top of the hill and run to the alley between the Colwell and McClintic buildings. L. A. Neff, who has been interviewing property owners, thinks that a petition with more than the necessary amount of names can easily be secured and this petition will be circulated immediately. The school board has signified its willingness to have the paving. The matter will again be taken up at the regular meeting of the board, next Tuesday evening. The school board was present and after a discussion, it was decided that the two bodies will share the expense of paving the alley between the school house and the Ketriifg building. This has been a disagreeable spot for the children in the winter time and much mud and water will be thus eliminated, The alley crossing between the Colwell and McClintic buildings on Huntington street was ordered widened. The board expressed its intention of compelling property owners to repair defective sidewalks and the marshall has been ordered to notify owners of needed repairs.

'cotoes burh at MORRISON ISLAND Fire Monday Evening Will Result In Loss of Five Thousand Dollars A disastrous fire occurred at the southern end of Morrison Island, Monday evening, which will result in a loss very near $5,000.00. The origin of the blaze, is shrouded in mystery. The cottage in which the fire started had not had a fire of any kind according to the occupants. This cottage was a double one owned by Marion Moore and Calvin Feymoore, of Cromwell, and was occupied by Harley Moore and family, of Cromwell, and by a St. Louis family. The contents were entirely destroyed, including the clothes of the inmates. The flames had gained great headway before they were ' discovered and a young boy of the party was compelled to slide down the bannisters as the stairway was too warm. The fire was communicated to the cottage of Dr. Schultz, of Fort Wavne, and this was entirely consumed as was another cottage belonging to a Fort Wayne man whose name we were unable to learn. It was difficult to secure datails as to insurance and actual loss. The people in the first named cottage barely escaped in time to save themselves from the colapse of the walls. • — Solomon’s Creek And Benton Miss Bessie Judav Preaching Sunday morning and Christian Endeavor in the evening.

WEIGHT OF It Remain* Constant Despite Any Possible Change In Form. Not only is the force of gravity, which we call weight, dependent simply on the mass of a body, without regard to its nature or chemical composition, but it is independent also of its physical state of aggregation—that is to say, a given quantity of matter weighs exactly the same (as nearly as can be ascertained by exact experiment) whether it be in the solid or liquid or gaseous state; whether it be heated or cooled, boiled or frozen; whether it be decomposed or burped, or whatever may be done to it, there seems literally no way of changing the force with which the earth attracts it, except by either removing { it farther from the earth or lower- I ing it down a pit into its interior, in either of which cases the force diminishes in a perfectly simple and easily calculated manner. The weight of a body diminishes, whether it be taken up above the surface or be lowered beneath it. The latter diminution of weight is i because some of the earth’s crust is , now above the body and pulls it up instead of down. A thing weighs most at the earth’s surface. That a body should weigh a little less at the top of a mountain or in a bal- i loon seems obvious enough, but that | it should weigh rather less in a ( coal pit is not so obvious. It may be thought of as then being out- ' side a smaller earth—an earth with 1 a film of skin virtually removed, i For Newton showed that inside the ( hollow of a uniform eccentric spherical shell there would be no force at all except what might be generated by pieces of matter inside that hollow. The best known variation of weight is that caused by carrying a body from pole to equator, for that is equivalent to carrying it a little farther away from the main bulk of earth because of its oblate shape. At any given place the weight of a given quantity of matter under all conditions is constant. —Sir Oliver Lodge in Harper’s Magazine. Rules of the Road. Why do we keep to the right in this country, and why do they keep to the left in Europe? In Europe in the days of the spear and sword a horseman kept to the left in meeting any one in order that he might have his adversary, if such he proved to be, on the free or right. In this country horseback was the first general mode of travel because of the almost impassable roads. A horseman in meeting an adversary kept! to the right in order to have the en-' emy on the protected side, the > horse’s body and neck forming a shield and liis own body protecting his gun arm.—Philadelphia Ledger.' A Crab Habit. ! Catch a fresh crab, mash the end of one of its claws and watch with what fierce wrath it will tear off the mutilated member. Is it pride that causes him to do this bit of surgical work, or is he afraid of blood poisoning, or is it because the maimed claw might obstruct his speed or entangle him in the submarine botany? The crab is an interesting creature and, like his big cousin, the lobster, is as scrappy as a game bantam, often losing a limb ■ in a scuffle.—Exchange. ) Annoying Both Way*. A New York society woman at a : recent benefit of the Authors’ society in New York said to a reporter: ; “I like to see authors work to- i gether in harmony. Authors are / prone, you know, to be a little bit j unfriendly. I said once to a noted : playwright, ‘How is it I never see ; you at any of your confreres’ first • nights?’ “ ‘Well,’ he replied, ‘l’ll tell you. i If the play is bad it annoys me, and i if it’s good it annoys me too.’ ” — Washington Star. ■ Reunion At the home of G. H. Bailey and wife, north of Syracuse, the Bailey reunion was held Saturday, August Bth. The ■■ out-of-town attendants were: C. A. Bailey ' of Scotts; Mich., A. E.

CURRIERS RECEIVE INCREASE JEROME DEARDORFF RECEIVES LARGEST RAISE The rural carriers received an increase of wages effective the first ot July. The raise was based on the amount of business handled by the respective carriers. The national association of rural carriers are now endeavoring to secure the passage of a bill which allots the carrier pay according to the distance traveled. The wages of Syracuse carriers are as follows: Harry Culler $llOO Bert Niles 1116 Fred Self 1152 Frank Brady 1100 Jerome Deardor ff 1200 30 Sacks Os JVlail Thirty sacks of mail came into the local post office last Thursday morning. The excess was caused by a shipment of catalogs from a mail-order house. Each catalogue weighed over four pounds and the expense to the senders must have been thousands of dollars when you consider that Syracuse was only one of many towns to receive like shipments. Still there are some merchants who claim advertising doesn’t pay.
