Brodie, a neighbor, and Mr, Walmsley, went to the creek. They started. groping with their hands for the ring, and after two at- tempts Mr, Brodie brought up a handful of dirt, containing the ring. King and Queen Return London Dominion Day King George's | First Public Appearance in London Since Illness London, June 22,--The King and Queen will return to London on Monday, July 1st, Their Majesties will motor from Windsor, and, weather permitting, will change into.an open carriage during part of the journey to Buck- ingham palace, A thanksgiving service for the King's recovery from his grave {ll- ness will be held in Westminster Abbey on July 7. It will be the King's first public appearance in London since he fell ill last November, This announcement does not mean that His Majesty will undertake the fatigue of personally opening parlia- ment, although he will be in London at the time of the state opening on July 2nd, According to arrangements now made, he will spend a week here, the first. period in London since last November during which he has en: joyed good health, Both the king and queen will attend the thanks giving service at the Abbey and on the following day will travel to Sandringham where they will spend at least a month, It was at the personal desire of the king that the plan was made, weather permitting, to change from the closed car in which he will trav- el from Windsor, to an open landau with outriders and postillions so that as many persons as possible may have the opportunity of seeing him after his long illness. The change will probably be made in London at Kensington palace, from where the royal procession will continue by way of Kensington high street, Knightsbridge and = Constitu. tion hill to Buckingham palace. That hour's sleep we lost during the night is just on deposit--to be reclaimed in September.

Brockville Boy Seriously Hurt Wounded in Abdomen by Exploding Dynamite Cap (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Brockville, Ont, June 22.--In consequence of the detonation of a dynamite cap by a youthful companion, Willard Jackson, aged 10, is in the General Hospital with a serious wound in the abdomen from which he is not expected to recover, Jackson is sald to have been standing near the other boy when the latter exploded the dyna- mite cap by touching a match to it, He was rushed to the hospital where an operation was performed last night in an attempt to save his lite, of Forth, less than a mile from tue Fiteshire coast, and commanding a magnificent prospect of the most historic scenery in Scotland, lies the little green isle of Incheoiw, an "emerald. chased in gold," Hith- er in the dim, far-off days, before history began to be written, came the first heralds of the cross In Scotland, and here today, overlovk- ed on many a summer's morn by the frowning parapets of a moaera battle cruiser, stands a little stone- built hermit's cell, some thirteen centuries old, the only perfect spe- cimen of its kind we possess. Round that tiny anchorite's re- treat a hundred traditions gather, and in its immediate vicinity, sepa- rated only by a grassy sward, rises a noble pile of monastic buildings, the splendid remains of a lordly Augustinian abbey, the permanent memorial of one unforgettable ex- perience in the life of an vid-time Scottish king. It was Alexander I, who, attempting to cross the Fortin on a wild and stormy day, was cow pelled to take refuge with the her- mit of Inchcolm, and who, relens- ed from his island prison after three weeks of shellfish and musk, vowed to dedicate a monastery to St, Columba as a thank-offering for his deliverance from a watery grave. Taken over in recent years by the board of works, the monastery buildings are the finest and best ppreserved of their kind in Scot- land, the chapter-house itself being a real gem of architecture, In or: der that popular interest in tuts historic and beautiful spot may be stimulated, it was decided to make the St. Columba day pilgrims age to Inchcolm this month, in the hope that such may become an an- nual event, In Memoriam MORGAN--In fond and loving memory of our dear wife and mother, Mrs, Jeanie Morgan, who passed 'away, June 23rd, 1934.

EFFECTS ARE SEEN ON THE WATERFRONT, Dock Which Usually Stands About Three Feet Above the Water Is Totally Sub- merged This Year--Beach in Front of Lakeview Park Is Also Entirely Under Water The lake level on Lake Ontario is this year 43 inches above what is known as the zero level, according to information which has been receive ed by G. D, Conant from the harbor master of the Toronto Harbour Come mission, Mr, Conant sought informa- tion as,to the rise in the water along the lack front on account of the un- usual conditions which prevail this summer, and the reply was that it was three fect, seven inches above the mean level, which is the average basis on which lake levels are measured, It is interesting to note that the level of Lake Ontario is measured on the basis of thesea level at New York. The average level of Lake Ontario, according to the report received, is 245 inches above the New York mean level, This year, owing to ther un- precendented rainfalls of the early part of the spring, however, the lake has risen to a height higher than it has been seen in the memory of most of the old-times of the lake front district, and the official record, places it as 288.56 above New York mean level, The report received by Mr, Conant also states that the lake elevation nas changed very little durin ast month, but that no doubt - gin to recede from now on as the summer $€ason progresses, The effect of the highwater i eas- ily' apparent along the Oshawa Lake front, A particular instance of, this is seen at the cement dock which runs out from the boathouse at' Mr, Conant's property on Bonnie Brae. In normal seasons, this dock stands about two and a half feet above.the water level, there being two steps down from it which are both clear of the water, This year, however, the whole dock is submerged, the top of it being about mine inches under the water level, Along the shore in front of Lake view Park, the beach is entirely cover= ed up, and the water comes right up to the cdge of the grassy bank which overlooks it, It is almost unprece- dented for the lake to reach this point, and is a visible indication oi the high level which has been ate tained, rr ------------------ DIES AFTER ILLNESS Roy G.
