Peters, who for four years has been in charge 0f the Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis warehouse at Kapuskasing, leaves this weekâ€"end,. for Timmins, to continue in employment there with the same firm. He has made himself very popular in town, and since his coming here has been prominently connected with the United Church, serving on the board. On Thursday night, at an informal gatherâ€" ing of many friends at the home of Mr. and Myrs. J. P. S. Ballantyne, he was warmly thanked for his devotion to the church‘s welfare, and at the conclusion of an evening‘s merriment he was presented with a fitted club Notable Event to be Held in the Skatâ€" ing Rink, Timmins, from Sept. 1st to Sept. 6th, Inclusive. Some of the Special Events in This Event. BIG PROGRAMME FOR THE LEGION WEEK OF WONDERS Recently there have been several reâ€" ferences in The Advance to humming birds. Some of these interesting litâ€" tle birds have been noticed in Timâ€" mins this summer. A pair of them frequenting front gardens on Sixth avenue have bsen a delight there, while the same type of birds are reported from Maple street and other parts of the town. It appears that humming birds have been as common as they ever get in the section around Timmins where they have been noted for the past dozen years or so. This is their first season in Timmins, however, and most prople will second the hope of The Renfrew Mercury in regard to their presence in Renfrew town, "that they may so increase as to overflow to all parts of the town." In a paragraph in The Mercury last week W.J.S. writâ€" ing in his column, "Here and There," says : â€" "A pair of humming birds may be seen almost any day amonz the folâ€" iage on Low Square, Renfrew, whereby that beautyâ€"spot of the town takes on a new attractiveness. The Audubon Club of Calabogie would perhaps think the soundest of strappings much too good for a boy capable of robbing a humming bird‘s nest and possibly no boy would commit so mean an act if knowing anything of that creature which is the "minutes of the feathered kind." However the nests of humming birds are fairly safe from robbers, be the robbers boys or cats or crows. Humming birds are so small they can build in inaccessible places. But there appears to be something to keep down "Sunday afternoon a hastily called meeting of the Police Committee took place and the information The Norâ€" thern News obtained was to the effect that Chief Shane was suspended for alleged neglect to perform his duty. Later the occupant of the house at 20 Kirkland street, O. Groulx, was arâ€" rested by Constable Durnford on a liquor charge. The four arrested were later released on bail and will appear in police court on Friday morning." "Constable Hughes after locking up the two boys went to the Teck Athletic Club to arrest Kalamber on a charge of assault. While there it is said that Kalamber assaulted the police officer. Chief Shane appeared on the scene later and although the police officers were in possession of a warrant he neglected to arrest Kalamber. Kalamâ€" ber was later arrested by FProvincial Constables Durnford and Byrne. SOME INTERESTING NOTES ABOUT HUMMING BIRDS the number of these most interesting birdasâ€"birds about half the size of sparâ€" rows. Many a person has never seen one. Perhaps it is that they are more secretive than other birds, but those on Low Square appear to have no hesitaâ€" tion about showing themselves. We can all hope that they may so increase "Four arrests and the suspension of the police chief took place over the weekâ€"end. It all started when two brothers named Tremblay were accused of throwing rocks through a window at 20 Kirkland Street about 1.30 Sunday morning and when Sam Kalamber heard the racket he came out on the street. The boys seeing Mr. Kalamber coming, started to run and Kalamber followed. Running towards the police station the boys shouted for help and Constable Hughes who was inside heard the yell and came outside meeting the first of the boys near the police steps. Kalamber was at this time right on the boys heels and grabbing one told Conâ€" stable Hughes to get the other one. While Constable Hughes was talking to the second boy it is alleged that Kalamber hit the boy he was holding. on Low Square as to overflow into other parts of the town. They are helpful to man, for those of Low Square may be seen picking insects out of the air the while theyâ€"the birdsâ€"remain alâ€" most stationary in space with wirgs aâ€"humming." Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer:â€"Peoâ€" ple vary greatly in their resistance to electricity. A shock strong enough to kill a sober man will probably not kill the same man drunk, and a person is less liable to be killed by an electric shock if asleep at the time it is reâ€" ceived. People suffering from diseases are unusually very sensitive to electricâ€" ity, but idiots are just the reverse. Considerable interest has been cenâ€" tred in the North on the developments reported in connection with the police department at Kirkland Lake. The reports suggests that a Kirkland Lake man took the law in his own hands in regard to some boys whom he claimed had annoyed him. The police conâ€" stable who arrested the boys says that the citizen assaulted one of the lads and as a consequence of this a charge was laid accusing the man of assault. When the constable went to serve the warrant on the man for this assault charge, the policeman was himself beaten up. The chief of police at Kirkland Lake arrived on the scene but it is claimed that he neglected to make attempt to arrest the man. Later the arrest was made by provinâ€" cial police. On the reports being generally told around Kirkland Lake the township council called a special meeting and suspended the chief of police on the grounds that he had apparently failed to carry out the duâ€" ties of his office. The story of the matter is thus told by The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake last week, as follows:â€" Toronto Mail and Emipre:â€"A Mcâ€" Gill professor says that Canada will reâ€" sent the effort of any other power to lay claim to the Polar regions lying between the Canadian mainland and the North Pole. Especially in weather like this, will Canada resent it. Kirkland Lake Council Suspends Police Chief 949900 808q § Frank Byck : 1550E eE .
