Mr. Potter, the engineer, explains that the reason for the sewage flow- ing toward Prairie ver instead of in- to the Mississippi from the Kindred avenue sewer, is due to the fact that the fall from Fifth street to Seventh 1s only two inches and that the filling of the manhole at Fitth causes the trouble.

C M King, accompanied by his wife and son Clifford were guests at the Pokegama over Sunday. While Mr. King is holding down a valuable farmstead in 62-26 he 1s incidentally teaching the public school of that sec- on. He had an enrollment of about twenty pupils and during the term which closed in June last it is evident that progress was made. The certi- ficates issued by the state High school examiners to Mr. King’s pupils num- bered thirty-three. ‘his showing is indeed very flattering to Mr. King as an educator and equally so to the in- telligence of the rising generation of 62-26. SCHOOLS OPEN AUSPICIOUSLY Grand Rapidy’ public schools were opened for the 1905-6 term on Tues- day morning with an enrollment of 470 pupils and fifteen instructors. Last year the first day’s registration was 442, an increase over a year ago of 28. ‘I'he only change in the core of teachers as announced last week in the Herald-Review was the substitu- tion of Miss Stebbins in the fourth grade in place of Miss Cartie Foss, who sentin ber resignation at the last moment. Miss Bena Willson, who taught music and drawing last year and had been reingaged, also sent in arequest to be released three days before the opening of this term. Her place has not yet been filled. The board and Supt Freeman will take time to engage a thoroughly compe- tent instructor for this branch of the school work. In the meantime in- struction in music and drawing is being carried on by the teachers in the several departments. As usual the enrollment is not as large at the opening of this term as as it was at the close of the last. Five hundred and fifty was the total enrollment last year,-and it is expected this year that there will be a total of fully six hundred. The falling off is most noticeable in the primary room, where 57 names are registered this week as against 100 during the last term. The difference, however, will be more than made up when all the eligible youngsters have reported. The High school enrollment is 50 with twelve pupils taking up the commercial course. The increase shows greatest in the High school and for the tirst time the boys are in the majority. - A savings bank will be established, principally for the purpose of. giving practical lessons in ecunomy.

The feasibility of the plan will be determined when the cost Of maintaining it has been ascer- tained and the number of pupils who are desirous of taking advantage of the opportunities thus offered. Miss Murdy has been assigned to to the supervision of hand writing in the schools. Her work will be done through instructions to the several teachers. The sixth grade has been trans- ferred from Central to High school inorder to provide for an aGditival grade in room three. Shouid it be deemed necessary a trnant officer will again be appointed by the board. HE DESERVES A PENSION Thomas Kelly was in Duluth a few days ago and made a call on Cungress- man Bede relative to the allowance of a pension in his behalf. When on- ly a boy between 13-and 14 years of age Tom Kelly engaged as an ofticer’s servant to Lieutenants Freeborn and Allen in the lst Rhode Island light artillery, aud remained in that capa- city for more than two years. He was uot released from service With the gevernment until December, 1865. Altogether he served more than three years. Inthe battle of Mine Run he was severely wounded in the abdo- men. While he was too young te be enlisted he still continued to serve his country after recovery. He was iu the battle of the Wilderness, Mine Ruy, Fredricksburg, “Warrington Juncton and many skirmishes. The wound which he received at Mine Run has always bothered him and as age comes on it incapacitates him fur manual laber to any extent. He is certainly deserving of a pension and Congressman Bede will under- take to pass a special act at the next session of congress to secure for him the justice thatis due. That to which he is entitled from the govern- ment would greatly aid him at this time as he is much in need of it. BYE Dr. C. J.

Sousa was onee conducting a con- cert, and was so engrossed in extract- ing from his organization the sweet. soft notes of an oriental love song.. A loud and prolonged blast came from a steamboat on the Alleghany river. Instantly the director's baton was di- rected toward the disturbing whistle, as thought he would have a more dul- cet tone from the offender. Instead he reevived a more deafening response from the huge steam whistle.

Harmless‘ Varieties May Suddenly Change Their Nature, It is common belleZ that the germs of disease flourish only in the human organism, and that, if we could once eradicate an infectious malady, it would stay eradicated. It now seems very probable that this is untrue. Ac- cording to a view held wholly or par- tially by many pathologists, and strongly upheld by Prof, Bodin, dis- ease germs are only accidentally viru- lent, their normal existence being what is called “saprophytic,” that is, independent of any other organism. When one of these harmless varieties changes its nature so as to become parasitic, we have a new disease. Ob- servation has shown that many kinds of bacteria are very unstable, and are constantly forming new varieties. It is possible, therefore, that potential germs of typhoid, lockjaw, or con- sumption may be growing harmlessly Lost—Watch fob, August 29.
