No Serious Damage Done. There was a storm here on Tuesday of last week, but it was not a serious affair. Haileybury and district howâ€" ever, did not fare so well, though no serious harm occurred. The Haileyâ€" burian refers to the matter as follows: "Haileybury and the district surâ€" rounding were treated on Tuesday afâ€" ternoon and evening to a rather severe electrical storm, accompanied by a heavy rain and some hail later in the evening. This was followed by a deâ€" cided drop in the temperature and yesâ€" terday morning the thermqometers regâ€" istered somewhere near the freezing point. "The storm broke between four and five o‘clock after threatening clouds had been visible for some hours. It apâ€" peared to come from the northwest and, contrary to what has been the custom throughout the spring, did not spread away from the lake, but broke with considerable force right over the town. Something of a deluge of rain fell, flooding the streets and in some cases blocking the drains. A fine streain came babbling down the Nipisâ€" sing Central tracks on Ferguson avenue, while from the streets running up the hill came torrents which washed gravel and mud onto the pavement. "There was some sharp lightning and the thunder rolled in way that is seldom heard. The rain at one stage of the storm came literally in sheets and the surface of the lake presented a similar appearance to what it does when it is first frozen over and light sure [that it comes up to Quaker standardsâ€"established by our fifty years of milling experience. Every day we bake with it in our own kitchens, under actual home conditions, to be sure that it acts right in the oven. Quaker Flour must conform to all these severe requireâ€" ments before it can bear the Quaker name. With Quaker Flour you know that your bread, cakes and pasâ€" srowfall is blown across the smooth surface. ‘"Later in the evening the storm was repeated with less severity, and was followed by hail. ‘"‘During the course of the storm in the afternoon at least three places in town were struck by lightning. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith, Niven street, suffered some damage by a bolt which apparently entered the house by the electric wiring, broke the glass in the meter, passed through the front room in to the kitchen and shattered a plate glass mirror which was hanging over the sink. Mrs. Smith had just left the sink a minute before and felt no effects of the shock. Alâ€" though the house was not set on fire, the lightning tore a hole in the woodâ€" work beside the sink and affected the wiring. "The home of Mr. and. Mrs. G. Godin, Russell street, was struck about the same time, it is reported, and a hole torn in the roof. There was no fire caused in this case. In the downâ€" town section one of the trolley wires on the Nipissing Central was broken, either by the lightning or by the wind which accompanied the rain but the damage was not great. The awning of the Haileybury Supâ€" ply Store, Russell street, was blown down and ripped to some extent, but the windows were not broken. "Two or three residents to the west of the T. N. O. where apparently the force of the storm was strongest, were slightly affected. One lady felt a disâ€" tinct burn on her face coâ€"incident with one of the most severe flashes of lightâ€" ning, while another who was removing a lid from the stove had it blown from her hand, but was uninjured herself. "At the home or Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the switch on the electric service box had been thrown off as a precaution when the storm commenced. but this did not appear to have any effect as the insulation was burned off the wires where they enter the building. Both lights and power were off in some secâ€" tions of the town for a short period during the worst of the storm, but there was no serious interruption in the services." Thomas Roman, poolroom keeper at Cobalt, was fined $50.00 and costs last week on a charge connected with a gambling device. He had elected for a speedy trial before Judge Hartman and no doubt he feels that things were just a little too speedy to suit him, as the fine was imposed before the gamblâ€" ing boeard was even used. It was al*® leged by the police, according to the evidence brought out by Crown Attorâ€" ney F. L. Smiley, K.C., that Roman had a board, numbered from 42 to 80, but without odd numbers, and that five dice were used in connection with it. Roâ€" man, through his counsel, A. K. Roâ€" berts, pleaded not guilty, and contendâ€" ed the board had only been completed by him on the same day that the police seized it, and before he had put it in operation.

Goderich â€" Signal:â€""The â€" Saltfore Sage grunted when he read the little note in this column about the pretty dandelions. ‘The dandelions may look pretty to these town fellows goin‘ by in their autos,‘" he muttered, ‘but since the O.T.A. went out the market price of dandelions is just nothing at all at The editorials in The Ottawa Journal are always of interest, and written with a grace of style that make them unusâ€" ually easy to read. In one of the isâ€" sues last week The Journal had an ediâ€" torial on Premier Ferguson, whom the heading termed "A Cheerful Leader." This editorial will be of special interâ€" est to many readers of The Advace. It is as follows:â€" to the skies since the dependence of national development and progress on transportation is nowhere more markâ€" ed than in Canada. The settlement and development of the country has followed, first, the natural waterways, then the railways and now is following the airways. Regions formerly regardâ€" ed as inaccessible and doomed to reâ€" main forever undeveloped, are now not only being explored, but are actually in process of development entirely by means of aircraft. For the building up of effective national air transportation, trained aeronautical engineers are inâ€" dispensable, and the training of aeroâ€" nautical engineers is, therefore, a matâ€" ter of national importance. Hence the action of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering in establishing a course of aeronautics at the University, It will be well for this country if it continues to receive such cheerful, conâ€" structive leadership from its statesâ€" men and its chief seats of learning."

UÂ¥ _A "At the opening of the Hamilton airâ€" port Mr. Ferguson referred to the lead which his Government had taken in the use of airplanes for forest protection and exploration. In a booklet being published by the University of Toronto Canadians are urged to turn their eyes "Mr. Ferguson‘s cheerfulness and good humour are partly based upon his inherent sense of fun, partly on the success of his own policies, and partly upon his supreme belief in the great fuâ€" ture of his own province, the Dominâ€" ion of Canada, and the world wide British Empire to which he never fails to pledge his allegiance. Referring at Hamilton to the position of Canda on this continent, he said:â€"*"The United States are 100 years ahead of us in population and in wealth. They must look on this struggling little country and realize that we will duplicate, perâ€" haps excel, all that progress that they have made. In fact, we should do betâ€" ter than that. Iam confident that the United States will see the day when we shall be equal to them both in comâ€" merce and industry." "These are jaunty sentences.

Sinclair‘s concern for the welâ€" ‘fare of Northern Ontario has come upon him as suddenly as his converâ€" sion to government control of the liquor traffic. In fact the two outbreaks of Sinclair policy appear to be connected. It was from Northern Ontario princiâ€" pally that the insurgents against his Ianti-govemment control stand came, and not until he ceased preaching asâ€" Iceticism in regard to alcoholic beverâ€" § ages and quit the sober company of the ‘drys were the Grit members of the northern part of the province inclined to aitend his banquets. The party split kept widening as long as he deâ€" government control, and the. | names of Liberal politicians from whom might be chosen a leader to supersede Mr. Sinclair and reâ€"unite the party were first whispered and then thunderâ€" ed out by the loud speaker. Mr. Sinâ€" \ clair had to choose quickly between | fidelity to professed principles and ihanging on to the leadership. He elected for the latter, and with surâ€" | prising agility he leapt across the party chasm and landed on the government ‘control side. That satisfies the antiâ€" | prohibition section of his party almost as much as it outrages the prohibition section. Having given way to the | Northern Ontario malcontents on the §liquor question, he now poses as the | particular friend of Northern Ontario. |The Northern Tribune, an independent | weekly newspaper which is published \ in Kapuskasing, recalls that Mr. Sinâ€" iclair‘s leadership on the liquor issue was openly repudiated by every Liberal | candidate in New Ontario. It says 'thqt his present northern itinerary, as ‘an intended preâ€"election gesture toâ€" "uards acquaintance, has been malaâ€" Edroitly arranged. Though he has had ia seat in the legislature for several years, this visit, says the Tribune, is the | first of any consequence he ever made Sinclair‘s Attitude in Regard to North Land In discussing the attitude of W. E. N.

Underwood, of Cobalt is in the Mines hospital at that town, with one eye so badly injured that it is expectâ€" ed that it will have to be removed, the injury being caused by a delayed blast that occurred while he and his fatherâ€" inâ€"law were at work on some claims at Mud Lake, west of the town. Underwood, with his fatherâ€"inâ€"law, J. Gartside, was working on the claims and had prepared two blasts for shootâ€" ing. One went off, as expected, but when 15 minutes had elapsed and the other charge did not explode, Underâ€" wood went to investigate. As he apâ€" proached the hole, the blast occurred, Underwood being hurt by the shock. He was not struck by any Oof the flying rock. The older man escaped with a bruisâ€" ed leg, sustained when he was thrown to the ground. He had his sonâ€"inâ€"law conveyed to the hospital without delay where Dr. G. E. Case rendered medical aid.
