Review of the Month‘s Weather While temperatures are running a little warmer than the average, the past month has run through with anâ€" other abnormal rainfall, and 4.05 inâ€" ches is a good way ahead of the norâ€" mal precipitation at this time of the year. The month has also been exâ€" ceptional in the number of electrical storms, the worst one being on Friday the 12th, with heavy showers during the night and still worse during the early morning of Saturday the 20th, with the most vivid lightning and terâ€" rific thunder. I think this is the worst electrical storm yet experienced in the district, The lightning was most vivid across the skies and lasted fully 2 hours. In spite ‘of the heavy rains, there were two days only, the 10th and 31st, with the skies totally overcast and no sunshine, and a total sunshine of 284 hours giving up 9.1 hours per day over the month which is really somewhat less than normal. mately 2‘% inches, the present August is considerably wetter than usual, and although not a record, has been noted particularly for the number of days on which it has rained; the wettest Augâ€" use on record was in 1928 with a rainâ€" fall of 5% inches.

The car was damaged to somse extent but not seriously, while Bruno escape>d without injury more than a shock and shakingâ€"u>. Bruro was on his return in the car to Timmins and whether he knew the time of the train or not, he evidently tried to cross the track just as the National came along. The enâ€" gineger saw the car but had no chance to stop. The locomotive was going slcwly, however, and simply sideswipâ€" »d th> car, doing some damage, of course, but not so much as might be expected im such a case.

The fourth annual exhibition of flowers and vegetables jund2>r the ausâ€" picecs of the Timmins Horlicultural society was held ten ysars azo on Labour Day, Sept. 3rd, at the skating rink and from the standpo‘int of quality of the exhibits was the best show held up to that time. There were not cerâ€" haps as many entries in some classcs as in some previous years, but the genâ€" eral standing of the exhibits was very high indeed. The attendance was large, there tseing a steady crowd in th> rink all day with a special quota at night. Even the unfavorable weather falled to damp>n enthusiasm for the hcorticulâ€" tural show.

The British Parliamentary Asscciaâ€" tion on tour of Carada at the time, visited Timmins ten years ago. Therr were about seventyâ€"five in the party, coming from all parts of the British Empire. In brief, the British Parliaâ€" mentary Association was an organizaâ€" tion desisgned to include all members of parliament in the several parts of the Empire. The purpase of the Asâ€" sociation was to provide a means for more ready exchange of information and to facilitate closer undsrstanding and more frequent intercourse between those engaged in the parliamentary government of th> components of the Empire. The delegates included memâ€" bers from Great Britain, Austraila, New Zealand, South Africa, Irish Free Sta‘te, Newfoundland, India, Southern Rhodesia Mailta, together with memâ€" bars of the Canadian branch of the Assozciation,. ~While in Timmins sevâ€" ral members of the party had the pleasure of meeting old friends now resident in Timmins. ore bad strip of road in the district. The firem:n on entering th> house found Lanzslad lying fully dressed on the flcar. Although the body was warm it was impossible to revive him. The chief of police took charge, and a do:zâ€" tor, who had been summoned at once, found that Langlad died, having eviâ€" dently teen suffocated. The chief of police made careful investigation of the circumstances of the case, finding no marks on the body, and all the eviâ€" dence. pointing to death through sufâ€" focation by the smoke from the fire in progress. Dr. Hudson, who was in atâ€" t:ndance, also made a thorough exâ€" amination and was convinced as to the cause of death. Dr. H. H. Moore, corâ€" oner, was notified and after inquiry deâ€" cided that a jury inquest was not mecessary, the facts being plain as to the cause of death. Henry Langlad, who was employed 2s a barber at A. Belanger‘s barber shop on the River Road ten years azo, met death around midnight on Friday, August 3l1st, 1928, apparently from sufâ€" focation from the smokse created by a fire that started in the house in which Langlad resided at 75 Bannerman avenue. Some people passing the house heard groans coming from the house and on going to investigate found a fire was apparently in progress in the house. They at once turned in an alarm and the fire brigade was promptâ€" ly on the scene, although some diffiâ€" cutly was experienced in negotiating Considerable interest was shown ten years ago in the matches for the Knox Cup, emblematic of the ladies‘ champâ€" ionship in the Timmins Golf Club.

Here, the bird was domicil:d in one of the Grug store winâ€" dows, with grass, sand, water etc., to make captivity liveab‘le. The ‘bird attracted a great deal of atâ€" tentisn, scores of psople scopping to lock at th> bsauty during the time it was in the window. Some of them amused thrmselves by teasing th> bird from the outside of the window, the bird shcwing ccnsiderable irritability and some viciousness. The bird was of Col. Scoh:ll, then of the Goldfields drug store, while cut motoring ten years ago noticed an oddâ€"looking bird at the side of the road. He could not gluess whast type of ‘bird it was and so he got out of the car to have a closer look. The bird did not seem to be particularly afraid, yet he did not apâ€" pear to care about anycne approaching him too closely. The bird macg no efâ€" fort to fly away, but he did arch his back and gensrally showed fight when a rard came near him. Col. Scobell chased him to the edge of thr> road, but still the bird failed to fly away. Eventua‘lly, however, the bird got in some long grass and Col. Scoball had to look twice to ke sur> the bird was there, so still did it stand and so closely did the plumage of the bird match the surrcoundings. Grasping for what apâ€" peared a bunch of grass, the colonel soon found he had the odd bird by the throat. The bird put up a game batâ€" tle but was in the end subdued sufâ€" ficien‘ily to permit of his being brciught The annual ladies‘ golf tournament for the North was held at Haileybury tm years ago and players from Timâ€" mins made excellent showing at the event. The tournament was a big sucâ€" cess and the hospitality of the Haileyâ€" bury club and the Hailsybury people was much appreciated.

Stories were told of the number of hunters at certain times and plases on the opening days exce'*dmg the number of ducks. At the annual session of the Ontario Municipal Association held at Toronto ten years ago, one of the big items of business before the asscciation was the matter of the unfairness of conditions in regard to the way the assessment act worked cut in conncction with the mining towns of the North. Mr. C. V. Gallagher, reeve of Tisdale, gave a very able exposition of the situation, and the unfortunate pssition of the towns and townships in regard to taxes and assessment and the evident injusâ€" tice un?‘or which they suffered. After Reeve Gallagher‘s address there was a general discussion and the association appesared fully convinced of the fairâ€" râ€"ss and logic of the case as presented by Mr. Gallagher. The Rev. Frank E. Williar, of Mount Airy, Md. comforts his "bottle baby" as they appear in Westminster police court. Ths2 Rev.
