Stimson, of deaughlin, Peel, Fulton Stin-, son, but principally Inspector Re-l burn, who in his evidence stated that Ellis’ first confession made to him before being placed under arrest, 3 was that tne deed was done deliberâ€" ately and because of Porter’s treat- .mt of Ellis’ sister who is his wife. ‘The first evidence taken was that an!

IRL HICKS MENTIONS THUNDER ‘ STORMS 1N PREDICTIONS FOR JUNE Prof. Irl Hicks, in outlying the weather conditions for June, refers particularly to the summer solstice during the last half of the month and the stormy period that may be ex- pected then. Prcf. Hicks writes as follows: ' A regular storm period, within the brace of a Mercury period, extends. from the 3rd. to the 9th. The June solstice will impinge upon this period, causing electrical storms to continue} and reach a crisis on and touching: the 9th. The moon is on the Equator on that day and the annual mag- netic crisis extend from about the 8th to the 15th so that thunderstorms will be frequent and violent for sev- eral days at this time. These June thunder squalls often prove quite severe, with only moderate fall of the barometer. Heavy, and sometimes abnormal rains occur during the. June Solstice, with the barometer _1it-tle below normal.

This Saturday train will prove of great advantage to tourists visiting this district as well as others who desire to spend Sunday in Lindsay and Bobcaygeon. This district is becoming more widely known every year as a tourist centre, and the inauguration of a Saturday special by the C.P.R. in order to cater to the tourist trade is sufiicient proof of this fact. L E There was certainly a gross waste . of explosives as a much smaller charge would have accomplished the purpose ' of tearing open the safe door. Had ‘ the design been to rapidly plaster the ' store and stock, the burglar was an expert, but if he merely wished to rob the safe, he gave evidence of being a dirty bungler who was not accus- tomed to using explosives. It is thought that someone may have secreted himself about the store premises before it was closed for the night, or else that a key was used to open the front door. There was no- thing to show that entrance had been efiected forcibly. The back door was barred, and apparently exit was made by lifting down the bar from the in- side and walking out through the door. ifi saw for himself. 'A small crowbar, a stone hammer with the Grand Trunk Railway ini-z tials stamped on, a hand axe and a chisel were left in the store, which would indicate that the parties were careless pf covering fbeir tracks, or clever at making f~alse.,ones. ‘ Something should be done to put a stop to this business of store-break- ing and stealing. None of our people are anxious to become the victims of these night operators. Utica and Myrtle stores, the Sebert House and now the Willard store robbery should give the police plenty of data to work on, and all that re- mains is to get busy. ~ THUNDE'RSTORMS ABOUT THE A reactionary storm period falls onl the 11th.12th, and 13th precisely at the crisis of electrical and magnetic excitement. On the 11th. the north magnetic pole of the earth makes its least angle to the sun’s equator, thereby intensifying the electric and magiietic forces throughout the earth and' its atmosphere. Hence many Phenomena of this character will mark this period. Afternoon rains and thunderstOrms will be frequent and violent, continuing for'days, partly obliterating the interval between the S'tOI‘DJl periods. New moon the 15th. will keep up the temperature, depress the barometer, and help to prolong threatening conditions. The 12th. to the 18th. is a seismic and volcanic period, central on the 15th. SOLSTIOE STORMS A regular storm period is central on the 16th., embracing new moon on the 15th, on the Equator the 2181: and in perigree on the 16th, the central day of the period.

This is caused by confused ‘ and unstable atmospheric currents and conditions, arising from the fact that the earth is at her turning, solâ€" sti'ce'position, Where she begins her movement toward the autumnal equi- nox, and the sun begins to retrace its course southward in the heavens. A reactionary storm period falling on the 22nd., 23rd, and 24th, will most likely take up and prolong the tenâ€" ‘ dency to afternoon and evening ‘ thunder showers, coming over from ' the preceding period. While an ex- cess of rain will not reach generally over the country, haymakem and others will do well to figure on fre- quent showers.

Look for falling bar‘ ometer, growing» cloudiness, and areas of rain, wind and thunder on the 28th, 29th, and 30th. The moon is full and at its extreme southern point in the heavens on the 29th.

Care- ful readings of the World's telegraphic news will see that general volcanic unrest will prevail from about the middle to‘ the end of June, with freq quent earthquake shocks in wide ex-l tremes of the globe.

N0 TRACE 0F ‘Since the snow went ofi and the ice out of the lake, a constant lookout has been kept for the bod:r of John Taggart, who disappeared late last fall and has not been seen since. A close search has been made of the banks of Burnt River up to the far- thest point where he might have fal- len in on his way to Fenelon Falls from the spot where he left his com- panions on the night of November 27th. A drive of logs at the mouthl of Burnt River was also thoroughlyi searched, but no trace of the missing man could be found.

If not why ? These questions should interest every farmer in the country this spring and every spring, for on underdrained land the seeding is ear- lier, which this year would mean grain all sown before the rainy wea- ther began. Thembenefits of under drainage are H as follows: The removal of the sur-i plus water early in the spring allows 1 the farmer to get on the land a? week to ten days earlier; the removâ€"! al of this water allows the land to g warm up so that growth will begin}{ earlier; underdrains carry ofi exces-él sive rain fall before the growing'; grain is damaged; grain on under-i drained land will root deeper and? should a period of drouth occur, thei the crop having developed a deep; root system, will get sufficiant mois-l ture tram the subâ€"soil; the action oil under drains on the soil makes it; more porous and friable and a better seed bed is procured; water soaking down to the under drains carrys be- fore it the air imprisoned among the particles and fresh air follows in its : course, thus ventilating and keeping : the soil fresh and in best possible condition for plant growth. From a financial standpoint no in-' vestment 06ers such sure and lastg ing profits, as money spent in underâ€" 9 drainage. There is land in this coun-: try which could be tiled and the in-‘ creased crop of one season would pay the cost of tiling: again other lands may take two or three years, and what is more this increase in productiveness will continue for a lifetime. What better investment could a. man want ? Plan to do some under drainage this year and it you need advice or assistance drop into the oflice of the Dept. of Agriculture, Lindsay, and talk it over with your representative. N0 LIQUOR 1N Ottawa May 30â€"That the regula-j tions concerning the consumption of: liquor by men in camps will be rigid? 1y enforced this year was the em- phatic statement of 001. Sam Hughes Minister of Militia, when asked if there were any new regulations this year governing the consumption of liquor in the training camps. “Regulations are the curse of the world to-day," was the Minister’s statement. They are nothing unless they are enforced and the existing orders concerning liquor will be strictly adhered to this year.” The sale at liquor of any kind is prohibited in camps, and it is - said thatduring this season’s camp a strict watch will be kept for any “private supplies" being brought in- to the lines. Canteens were abolished last year, and although it is stated that drunkenness in many of the camps adjacent to cities increased, they will not be permitted this year. That the Minister has a very- high standard for the general sobriety of the Canadian Militia was evidenced by his remarkable assertion that “the Canadian soldier does not drink and needs n9 regulations prohibiting his drinking.
