M. MacDonald Orders In- quest; Driver Not Held Clough Watson, inspector for the Dominion Department of Munitions and Supplies, residing at Oshawa, was fatally injured at about 10:30 p.m. last night when struck by an east-bound automobile not fer from his home at 203 King street west. According to the driver of the car, Arthur Rogers of 65 Rowntree ave- nue, Toronto, the 50-year-old pedes- trian dashed suddenly in front of his car from the south side of King street. Rogers says he was travelling within the speed limit and immed- iately applied his brakes when he saw the man step out. Blood stains on the road indicated that the acci- dent occurred between Burk and Nassau streets, almost half way be tween two street lamps. Formerly Employed at Arsenal The late Mr, Watson was formerly employed st the Woolich Arsenal, in England. He came to Oshawa Mt the early summer and was currently inspecting at the Pedlar People plant. He leaves a wife and one child. Damage to the car, & heavy sedan, showed the force of the impact. The bracket of the right front head- lamp was snapped, causing it to hang down; the right front fender was dented; the metal cover on the spare tire on the right side of the car was dented amd loosened from the tire. The shoes of the unfort- unate man were picked up off the road and handed to the police. Terrific Injuries The injured man was removed to his house not 60 feet away. He was attended by Dr. C.

Mush- rooms are forcing their way through such a surface at the Red Indian Service Station at 66 King Street West, operated by Victor McLellan. The mushrooms are coming through the asphalt surface immediately in front of the garage, not, of course, in the path of traffic. The mush- rooms break through by stages. First a bulge is noticed in .the thick asphalt, the bulge grows; and finally the mushroom pushes its little head right through, These mushrgoms appéar per- fectly normal except that they are a little stubby and are usually damaged in the process of remov- ing them. They also fgel soft and smell as a mushroom shuld, but no one will likely venture to eat them. The fungi is thought to rise from the spawn of mushrooms supposed- ly grown in the basement of an old house which formerly occupied the side of McLellan's Garage. Mr. McLellan informed The Times that the growth was present last year, but in a different place. BOWLERS' NOTICE! JITNEY Thursday evening, September 12, at Bowmanville Greens.

These pamphlets were dropped in bundles, Mr. Colyer stares. Residents gathered them up and sold the leaf- lets for as much as a shilling each and turned the proceeds over to the Red Cross Society.

In the 18th century, in Russia, in the time of Katherine the Great, an explorer by the name of Priboloff discovered a group of islands off the north coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea. These islands were the homes of the seals and were frequently enshroud- ed in mists, Because of this they were known as the mist islands Pelts of the seals found there were brought back to Russia where it was discovered that the coarser outer fur could be. removed «nd an exception- ally fine skin resulted.
