WELLS Company THREE WESTERLY COTTAGES BURN | Fire Loss of $8,000 at Pleasant View—New Summer Homes of Sisson, Bicknell and Kenyon Families Destroyed— Town to Have Troop of Boy Scouts—Immaculate Con- ception Parish Free From Debt—Useful Book By Miss ‘ Chapman. Three cottages were destroyed by fire at Pleasant View late Friday af- ternoon, the destruction with comtents being complete, as there is no fire ap- paratus at that summer resort. The cottages were new and were occupied for the first time last summer. They were owned by Edward Sisson, Albert Bicknell and John Kenyon, all of West- erly, and were located in a cluster ! fronting on the road in the rear of 1he row cf beach-front cottages, in the direction of Watch Hill from the trol- Jey terminal. The Sisson house was in ihe center of the other two, and the fire started in the Sisson cottage and £peedily spread to those on either side ,end all combined in making quite a conflagration, which wag first seen by the life saving crew at Watch Hill, and the information was promptly tele phoned to Mr. Kenyon, Capt. William H. Saunders and a few others who re- pide not very distant from the beach, which at this time of the year is un- inhabited. Quite a number of carpen- ters and others connected with build- ’ ers’ trade are employed at the beach, but they had left by trolley for West- erly before the fire occurred. Members of the Sisson family were at their cottage for a short time Fri- day afternoon and probably the fire was started by an accident of some cheracter which was not detected be- fore their departure. The Kenyon, Sisson and Bicknell cottages are yuite ¥ a_ distanee from the other cottages and in censequence the fire did nof mssume more serious proportions. The water system has been extended to Pleasant View for domestic purposes during the summer season, but js shut off atier the season closes, as the wipe line was never intended for service. This fire will probabl to agitation for the formation of a fire district 2t Pleasant View similar to that at Watch Hill, which would carry with it bydramts, a change in the un- derground line of piping, and of course fire apparatus in readiness for ser- yice. The total loss by Friday's fire is estimated at $5,000.

Violin making is an ancient art, yet new things may be learned about it. Two makers of musical instruments- one in Brussels, the other in Boston recently announced their belief that the material of an instrument has noth- ing to do with its tone. One of them made experiments only with wind in- struments, but the other tried innova- | tions in violins and ’cellos, substituting tin and aluminum for post and bridge, with, it is stated, an actual improve- ment in tone. It is his belief that dis- tribution of mass is far more import- ant to good tones than the material | used. This theory is contrary to all previous opinions on the subject. ATTORNEYS-AT-LAW AMOS A.
