MWCHRBNIM t In last week’s Review, Mr. H H ”iller uses up a column of valu- able space to criticise Mr. Ball‘s tirst speech in the Dominion Par- liament. Without spending any time in relerring to his line of at- tack, we may say that Mr. Miller, after his seven or eight years’ ex- perience in parliamentary life, shows very poor taste in refer- ring to the maiden speech of the man who defeated him honorably at the election in September 1911. For some reason, the world seems to admire a lighter, but the world we believe, has equal ad- miration for the man who gets beaten and takes his medicine like a man We are not going to be- little Ir. Miller in any way; we haVc admired him for a number of years, and at the time of his defeat fifteen months ago, we didn’t rejoice at his downfall. We rejoiced at the overthrow of reci- procity, and Mr. Miller knows quite well that Conservatives alone were not responsible for the great political avalanche that hurled him and his party from power. The question which re- sulted in the downfall of the Lib- eral party was not a popular one, and Liberals, as well as Conser- vatives, united to defeat it. There is no doubt about this, and for Sir W'ilfrid Laurier, H. H. Miller, and others members of the Liberal par- ty to keep up the cry as they are doing is not at all to their credit. They were beaten, and why ,not submit gracefully to the will of the majority ? DURHAM, DECEMBER 19th, 1912. Only a few nights ago we at- tended an entertainment in the town hall. Every seat from front to rear was literally packed on the occasion. Seats were placed in the aisles, and the passage at the only entrance to the building We feel it a duty to point out danger, and We think it is not only the duty of the press but the duty of everyone who looks to the safety and well-being of the com- munity to give a warning voice against any possible or probable danger, either to human life or property. was blocked by many who were forced to stand during the whole entertainment. Under such conditions, it reâ€" quires no great stretch of imag- ination to picture the result in case of a fire or any alarm that would cause a general stampede for safety. There is only one way to get in or out, and should an alarm be sounded the great rush would certainly be all in the direc- tion of that one exit. Those near the door would stand no better chance than those in the front of the hall; the strong, in the mad rush for safety, would trample down the weak. Some, in going down the stairway, if not before. would stumble or fall in the rush- ing throng, and there is no doubt whatever but many human lives would be sacrificed in the excite- ment. BETTER PBOI‘ECTION NEEDED '3 H W. IILLBB’B CRITIC"! For some time, and even yet, there were many who disliked to attend crowded meetings in the hall. They feared the building was not strong enough to stand the heavy load. Investigations of the structure have been made, however, and all were assured that the building was perfectly safe in regard to its strength. It may be so. We presume it is, but in case 01 any alarm that would result in a rush there is certainly We are not an alarmist, and it is true that up to the present time there have been no accidents to record. The same record can be given of other places, but the awful scene came when it wasn‘t looked for. Should it ever come in Durham ft will come just as suddenly. and then the wise ones will add insult to injury in telling what they long expected. 0. MW" E "or and Prowl-tor. comparisons ' places What happen here We are The murder of Mrs. Henry Love, of Flesherton Station, ,on Monday night, must have caused much ex- citement in the little village when the tragedy was discovered. Her husband, as most readers of the daily press know, was arrested on Friday for the crime, and is now in Owen Sound jail awaiting his trial. In speaking a couple of weeks ago of need for more safety in the Star Theatre, it seems we were in error in saying there was no exit at the rear. We have been inform- ed since then that there is a back door. We understood there wasn't at the time or we would not have said so. We are quite sure, how- ever, we saw no sign to tell where it is, and we believe there are many others who attend that know nothing of its existence. We don’t know now whether the back way of escape opens inward or out~ ward; if inward, it is not accord- ing to requirements, and the change should be made, not only for the safety of the patrons, but for the safety of the proprietor, should anything happen. Many things in connection with the scene of the murder caused a feeling of suspicion in the minds of outsiders who knew nothing of the husband or the fourteen year old son. The citizens of the vil- lage. many of them at least, ac- cording to report, think that Love is innocent of the crime. He and his wife seemed to live together agreeably, and there appears to be no motive for the murder. exits ready for use in case of ne- cessity, and these exits should be so placed that all would find them readily, and be able to escape with reduced likelihood of danger. The father and son both claimed to have seen the murdered woman up to eight or nine o’clock on Tuesday morning, but not after- ward. The body was not discov- ered till after midnight Thursday morning. On Tuesday and most of Wednesday there was apparent- ly no anxiety on the part of father or son regarding the missing woman. much reason for fear. To remedy this, there should be wmething done to make the place me. There should be ‘additional Mr. Gibson Collinson intimated about midnight Wednesday that the neighbors would search the house the following day. Shortly after this, the dead remains were discovered by the husband in a remote corner of a newly exca- vated cellar. Coroner Bibby was at once noti- fird, a jury was empanelled, the remains examined and a post- ponement made. On Friday, Inspector Reaburn, of the Provincial Police Department, was on the scene. The son, Arnold was examined, and in the course of the examination he stated that he had not seen his mother on Tuesday morning, nor hadhe met the tramp to whom he formerly referred. He said also that his father had concocted this story and advised him to tell it. On this the Inspector ordered the arrest of Love, who in turn claim- ed that the boy’s story to the In- spector was not true. On Saturday an autOpsy was held, when it was decided that the wounds had been mady by a knife, instead of some other in- strument, as at f_irst thought: The funeral took place on Sun- day, and was very largely at- tended. During the very im- pressive service in the little Or- ange Hall, the flooring showed signs of weakening, and for a brief time there Was considerable excite- ment. The remains were interred infiFleshâ€"erton: cemetery. Following the statement of Love as he left for the jail that he had no money to engage a lawyer to defend him, the many friends who saw him off at the station have clubbed together and engaged W. H. Wright 01 Wright, McDonald and Telford, of Owen Sound, to defend him. Many are in sympa- thy with the prisoner and believe him innocent of the crime. At this juncture, no decision can be ar- rived at, and whatever public Opinion may be regarding his guilt or innocence, we shall simply ave to await developments.

Owing to the breadth of his wings, the frigate cannot nah; he is forced to remain in the air. But as he cannot get fish in the air and as he requires tish for his nourish- ment he presses the booby into his service. When hungry he sw00pa down upon the booby and gives it a vigorous thrust in the throat. Then the booby’s mouth opens and the fish caught in it drops out. The frigate has only to give one peck at the booby’s throat to get his dinner. It happens occasionally that the booby attacked by the frigate has nothing in its mouth.

There is a relation between the color of flame and the energy of the combus- tion causing it. The more vigorous and complete the combustion the higher the refrangibility of the light. A flame burning in a tardy and restricted way emits rays that are red.

The flame of a candle or a lamp con- sists of a series of eccentric luminous shells surrounding a central dark core. These shells of (lame emit light of dif- ferent colors, the innermost one-that in direct contact with the dark coreâ€" being red and having a temperature at exactly 977 degrees F. Upon this and in their proper order of rafrangihility are shells of light which are orange, yellow. green, blue. indigo and violet. The reason that such a flame does not appear to us as a nest of cones of different colored light is this: When we look upon such a flame all of the rays issuing from the different layers or strata of concentric luminous shells are received by the retina of the eye at one and the same time This can only lin- press with the sensation of neutral or white light.
