TULRSTON. - E/litor (OINCIL BY WARDS On Saturday afternoon of thi.« week the nomination take.s place for the vacancy of the ofifce of council- lor in the township of .Artemosia, necc».sitated hy the resignation of Mr. T. I-. Mercer, who waj forced to rc- tlgn on account of business affairs, Vrhich prevented him from givinR the •ttention to Twp. matters through livinK so far from his division. Mr. Mercer wai a Rood man in the Coun- cil and his resiirnation was much re- icretfed. This brinffs up the matter of representation of the Township on the council board. At present the councillors are elected from the whole township and in parts there i-3 no representation at all. Last year Mr. Mercer had to travel from his home near Markd^Ie to the Priceville dis- trict to look after his division, and many times interfcrrinc with his business. Others have had to do the tamo in years past and others will have to in the future unless the ays- tern of representation is changed. No man is RoinR to let council affairs interfere with his business, no matter irhat it is. The -Advance i.? of the bpinion that it would be better to liave representation from wards in tlie township and each man up for Bominaion would kno^w what division be â- would have to look after if elect- ed. That would mean that there Woa]d have to be two men nominated In each ward to have an election, :•" «Bly one there would be an acclama- tion. We believe that it would be in the best interests of the township if flnch a course was adonted. FEVEB8HAM L.O.I.. SOCIAL EVG L. 0.

FLESHTEUTON HIGH SCHOOL FORM 1 Examinations in History, Agricul- ture, Geography and Algebra. REMARKABLE PHENOMENON. I Trom the Burks Falls Arrow. Ldwt Wednesday morning we wit- Bcssed one of the queerest sighu it hM ever been our lot to see. With the thermometer registering about thirty below «ero two cedar telephone poles trithin a few yards of the Arrow of- fice door were gushing forth water from knot holes about a foot above the ground and the volume being exuded would be about that from an ordinary house service faucet when half open. At first we could not be- lieve our own eyes. Then when we tried to account for it we could hard- ly credit our own conclusions. What was happening was this: The water service leadingr into Sharpe's store had burst. The frozen ground was too hard for the water to force its way through so it was following the course of least resistance and flowed up the hollow butts of the tel- ephone poles and found its way out through the knot hole 3. Before Com- missioner Blakeley finally shut the Water off the water forced its way ten feet up the inside of one of the telephone poles and flowed out from a knot hole high above one's head. I D.
