Quite ahusy town of yours {(for some people's minds)â€"so busy [that your police have to leave all gminor matters, such as safe blow- Iers. drunks and disorderlies, and di- grect the people how to drive up ipalaca streetsâ€"~very good streets; but gToronto has just as good. But he- {hold the rush. I was driving up iKent-st. last Saturday evening when fmy attention was drawu to the fact. ithat I was violating the bylaw by inot driving along clos'.’ to the curb. i1 very hastily made the reply, “I i'wonder if the blockheads think I am going to drive down among those flew rigs that are standing there ?" éAnd not another rig in motion be- Itween the post office and Britton's ICnrners. But you say I broke the ilaw’.’ The police (very good police) Enre better at directing a boy where ito drive than catching a burglar. EThis is about as good ajoke as {the time they! chased the whiskey {'bottle down the telephone pole near jthe post office. The poor 'iellows, they must be doing something beâ€" sides raising the taxes. The farmers don’t care. They will use the depart- mental stores and the parcel post, and not obstruct your streets so much. ‘ To thc Editor of the Post; . Dear Sirz~wl was much surprised to notice in your issue of the lust ulto, the communication from a “resident or Ops" re the Street Tramc Bylaw ’hcing put into effect by the town coun- 1cil in which the writer not only lhlamcs thc council, but the police for !carrying out instructions given to ‘thcm by the council. If the hy-law, l twhich is an exact copy of the one in [t'orcc in Toronto) is not a move in {the right direction in the opinion of lthc “Resident of Ops" let him blame ithc council for putting it in force. but don‘t. throw stones at the police for only doing their duty. Is the bylaw a foolish one? What is the in- tcntion of the hy-law‘.’ Does the "Resi- dcnt ot‘ ()ps" understand the hyâ€"law'.’ It aims at “Safety First“ cou- vcnience for those using the streets, especially the farming community. There is nothing in the hy-law aimed against the farmers or any person us- lint: thc streets. but is for education. Enot prosecution, and I am sure that 5us our farmcr friends and all users of thc streets get to understand the bylaw that eventually the hy-law will hmc no cncmics such as thc “Resi- dent of Ups" and l vcnturc to saw 3 l I l 1 I 5 X I t l l I O t l I 3 Whevo you know a man is subject to fits, don’t ask him who his tailor is.

Yours ery Truly G. H. M. BAKER The idea of photographing ship- wrecks beneath tl; sea gave the pho- tographer an idea Near Nassau there is a sunken bulk of an old blockade runner that came to grief while seeking safety in that port during the civil war. The hull: lay fifty feet beneath the surface cradled in aledge of the coral, and nearby rested afew rustâ€"encrusted old can- non, While the hulk was covered witn barnaclesx and other crusta- ceans. ‘ . George Williamson 'volunteered to play the part of a diver and a suit was borrowed. After he_ had been lowered Gregory began to click ofl the‘first motion pictures ever taken of a-diver at work beneath the surâ€" face. Williamson “registered” like a real diver, wondering around in his ponderous armor, picking up cannon balls and sending them aloft in a wire basket. All the while Gregory, The boys remodelled the tube, .iwever, before they began to ' take Epictnres. They enlarged the opera- ?ting chamber at the lower end and 'planned a vessel that would carry the apparatus. The inside diameter for the chamber was about five feet, {and in one of the ports was titted a lsection of glass an inch and a half thick and especially ground to make {it optically flawless. It was origin" tally planned to begin their photo- Egraphy off the coast of Southern (laâ€" :liforniu. But Dr. Townsend of the iNew York Aquarium advised them to try the Bahamas. E EXPERT AT SEA BOTTOM i ('varl L. Gregory. of one of the film companies, was engaged to mgikc the §pictures. But when he had lowered ths camera into the cage and pre- ipared to snap it he found photo- :graphic conditions altogether new to him; photography under water was {Very difierent from photography on gland.

The shark saw him and plungâ€" ed. but the boy was too quick. He gave his body a twist and avoided the horrible rows of teeth and, 'grasping the shark by afin, plung- 'ed his knife to the hilt in its side. The water grew red and diswlorcd, bit the negro reached the heart With his knife, and the shark was strug- gling in death agony. That was the'picture that Gregory “filmed" in his little glass cage un- surface ider the sea, and that was the climax the guests at the National Museum Washington, July 25-Sevcral hun- dred persons at the National Muâ€" seum a few days ago witnessed one of the most remarkable series 01 moving pictures eVer shown upOn can mm. The pictures were taken from a steel and glass tube thirty feet long under water of the Bahama Islands un 20,000 feet of film. From the time the first picture flushed upon the screen until the very last click of the projecting maâ€" chine the audience sat spellbound be- fore a moving panorama of life be- neath a tropic sea. The climax was MANEATER SHARK AND BOY BATTLE The invention consists of a tele- smpic steel tube capable af being lengthened or shortened at will. At the lower end is a. glass chamber in which the operator sits and photoâ€" graphs the flora and fmna of the sea which comes within the focus of the camera. George and Ernest got tho. idea of under-water photography by watch- ing a man photograph fish in in) an aquarium and they decided that their father's device was just. the thing. The tube was rigged and low- ered into Norfolk harbor and the hoys went below. There they mw fish swimming about and observed the floor of the harbor without dif- ficulty. It was may to put a motion picture camera. into the tube and grind away. All the cities and towns of Western (‘unada Served by the Grand Trunk i’ucxfic are enjoying rapid and sub- stantial growth. and in a bulletin Les-Jed today by the railway the at- tractive. business openings existing at points along the line are enumâ€" ('I'uted. There are calls from these young communities for men with ex- perience in every trade and profesâ€" sion from gold assaying to denistry. There are in particular many op- onings for doctors, druggists, den- tists, cobblers, general store keep- ers and butchers. Openings are not lacking for lawy‘erS, music teachâ€" us, millincrs and photographers. In- deed the bulletin is a veritable busi- ness directory. Seven years ago no white man dwelt where the flourish- ing city of Prince Rupert with its 6000 inhabitants now stands and with the rapid increase in population resulting from the constant extenâ€" sion of the Grand Trunk Pacific, the little hamlets which nestle near the steel are calling for men with small capital to take their share in the prosperity of the future. The carcass of a horse was thrown into the water and moored close to the barge, while Gregory went he- luw to await developments. Soon the norsal tin of ahig man cater was observed. cleaving the surface of the water towm‘d the dead horse. Another shark Was seen swimming toward the horse from an opposite direction. The first shark with a lightning-like lungc tore off a great fragment of the hindqnarter of the horse and darted away. The second shark, ignoring the carcass, pursued the first, and in a battle between them which followed, the first shark was mortally wounded. safe and dry in his glass chamber, was reeling ad the film.. A SHARK TRAGEDY The sea around the Bahamas sWarlm with munâ€"eating sharks, and it was decided to try to get a. “mo- Vic” of an under vater light, between a shark and one. of the native boys who make aspecialty of stabbing the hi}: manâ€"eaters in the shark’s naâ€" tive element. A boy, clean limbcd, and 'hlad only in a breech clout, agreed to engage a shark in a duel for 3 Consideration. THE LINDSAY POST Declares Lydia E.

REMARKABLE CASE of Mrs. HAM BUSENESS OPPORTJNITIES Ed. Roach, a member of the De- [aeronto F re Brigade, has written Eto Chief Short regarding the loss of diis suit'case on Thursday evening. ‘It was with the other baggage for Deseronto on the G.T.R. train, but just as it Was pulling out of Lind- say the outfit was missed. It was a light brown leather case and con- taioed the uniform of the Deseronto brigade, running suit, kodak, etc. A party on.the train saw , a man jump from the train near the iron bridge and narrowly escaped plunging into the river. It is thought that prob- ably the stranger stole the valise. Any information concerning its Cure Common Illa Miss Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills The declaration of War on Servia on therpart of Austria-Hungary at once raises several factors which should almost immediately have their effect in the grocery markets, and at the Same time brings continâ€" gencies into sight, the extent of l'which can only be surmised in proâ€" lportion to the possibilities of other ‘COuntries being involved in a con- flict which may ravage Europe. Just now the retail and wholesale trade is awaiting with interest the opening prices of canned peas. Late reports indicate that while consider- able damage has been gone by drought, the pea fly, the army Worm and other troublesome insects there have been many good fields of peas harvested. It is too common know- ledge among the trade that there has been a considerable hold over on peas, but nevertheless, the opening prices will be higher than a year ago when the opening priCe for stan dards was 82; cents per dozen. Prospects, however, are for a heaVy pack of tomatoes, as the vines are looking quite prosperous. Uanners report the corn outlook only fair, nd since corn has been pretty well sold out, or will be when the new [5301: arrives, opening prices on it cannot be expected to be any lower than last year. The grocery situation, and the probable effect a general Wul‘ would have on grocery markets, 'is dealt with as follows in this week’s issue of Ganadian Grocer: On the whole jobbers report bust mess fair. All trust that the disturbâ€" ing influences in the Old World will be brought to a speedy close.

Should the Conflict not be Confined to these two Countries, then the whole of the Meâ€" diterranean export fruits may suficr as well as nuts, figs, etc. Millers are not looking for any im» portant change in the flour situatiOn for the immediate present, althOUgh wheat prices are stiflening. Should the powers become seriously involv- ed in the trouble it would be anoth- er .matter altogether, and prices could be expected to soar to almost any height. So far as Canada is concerned, the prices would be chief» 1y influenced if importing countries became concerned in the conflict. Then the direct‘efiect of the war is likely to be of less importance than the gcn‘pral world influenCe in inâ€" creasing the cost of products. So closely are the sources of supply re- lated to one another-at the . present time that there is not only the diffi- culty of delay in‘ deliveries to be, figured on, but the adVance over other markets, which will almost in- stantly take effect. Should Russia step in land the other great powers lmComc inV'OIVed, there is no fore- seeing where the influence may end. The demoralization of the stock marâ€" kets on the announcement of War may be taken as an indication o'i what may be looked for later in other markets should the fears of which evidence has already been giv~ en prove to have solid foundation.
