The new electric fire alarm has been installed in the tower of the opera house near the fire bell. If elevation is one of the requirements this requirement has been fully met.

One of the jurors on his return looked as if he had waded through Florida ever? glades^ t i | The unearthly hour of 1 o'ciock a. j m. 'Saturday was chosen for the sec- j ond demonstration of the new electrie fire alarm. The alarm was quite alarming for those who heard it. If any one failed to hear- it, it was his own fault for the noise was there all right.

'Now in 1916 j ?26 years later, he has just install-1 ed the electric fire alarm which the town has on trial. May the said P. J F.

During the fire at Mr. Forest Lomi.:ack's residence Thursday night the company was using 24 sections of hose which was more than half the entire stock of hose. In case of two fires in town at the same time and in widely separated districts, disas! trous results would certainly follow i so limited a quantity of hose. j * There are some Xewberrians who, 1 if ivo-ro ftpfiiinvincr rpcjprvpf] spats I jM.

It must be a great old show for some people.
