To make such a plan sueeessful much more. enthusiastic support of baseball would be a nf?eess- ity. Of course, a league in base- ball worked like the Hockey in groups with the groups playing off, would of itself increase the general baseball in- terest in the towns concerned, and might prove a great success in every way.. In any event the idea. of a Nor- thern Ontario Baseball Association is worth "onsiderinp: and perhaps a suit- able plan may be outlined for next season to the general advantage of sport in general and baseball in par- tieular in this North Land.

To imagine a game between Cobalt and Timmins or Iroquois Falls is to conjure up "some ball game," eh what? THE PORGUPINE ADVANCE 181 The following, marked "t"onivilurt, ed," appears in the last issue of The Haileybarian. It is generally under- stood that a cyclone is caused by a wave of cold air meeting a wave, ol' hot air. There have been several cold waves in the North Land recently and everybody in the Haileybury-Cobalt district knows where the hot air comes from. It is a pity that Hailey- bury and other places in the North should be made liable to such danger, but it is only for a little while .now till the trouble will be moved to North Bay. “Haileyhurians little realized last Saturday evening that whilst they were peacefully going about their business, the Grim Reaper was hover.. ing in the vicinity. About s. pun. a ey- clone of death-dealing; proportions ap- proaehed to within a mile of the west- erly limits of the town. "Fortunately lhe path of the ey- clone was through the bush, and as far as can be aseevtained, no damage was done/to any buildings, although some farm houses were only missed by a matter of a few yards. The ey- clone was heading; for Jraileybttry, but appeared to disperse when about a mile from town.

This is evident by the carefree manner of the porcupine as he goes meandering for the creek to have a drink, or to the tree from the hark of which he want a meal. All of the ha-hitant of the lntsh---tirat is the. wild aninvals---know enough to leave the porcupine severely alone. it remains for the domestic aninvals- the dog and the sheep-to attaek the poretopine.

Chester's pasture According to eyewitnesses, the roar, which 'therlikened to several gigantic trains' hurtling themselves through the bush, was heard at least half an hour before the funnel-shaped mons- ter appeared. . “The writer visited a portion of the bush sirtyk and was amazed at the power and force which must have been exerted. A swatch approximately 900 feet wide was cut through the bush as by a giant scythe; what was a bush of tine trees--10 inches to 1 foot in diameter-is new a tangled mass of ruin; not a tree left standing in the path of the cyclone. Aded tu'trss 1 h'eld. aided loukin Y muse It is very silly indeed for domestic animals to attempt to stop the pro- gress of the Porcupine. The New Lis- keard Speaker last week made this clear in a quaint little article. In the hopes that the moral '(slightly hid- den, hut nevertheless very plain and apparent) may be accepted by some southern folks who have hitherto viewed the North Land in a sheeps- head sort of way or tried to worry it by the miselrievotts attitude of a quar- relsome collie, growling and barking, with a “wool?" that sounds like “More" and a yelp that resembles "ullevenue," The Advance reproduces the entertaining little natural history story of The Speaker, as follows:-- “The porcupine has less to fear "il'oreupmcs tl alone, but are VE ter/ered with, as loosen at will, do til they have HON.
