The cat got up on the power line and placed one paw on one wire while its tail rested on anâ€" other very live wire. The result was that something like 44,000 volts pasâ€" sed through the cat‘s body. _ Any electrician can give you the answer without seeing the eat.

BLACK FLIES REPORTED AS VERY BAD AT PRESENT Prospectors, campers and fishermen returning fromâ€"the woods these days report the black fly crop as particuâ€" larly large this summer and especialâ€" ly vicious. One gentleman who spent a few days on a fishing trip returned with arms and legs looking like a smallpox case from the black fly bites. The most of men are troubled by C io o. black fly bites, though there is one that appears immune. But then there is always an exception from the general rule. <For instance at Washington,; D.C., the U.S, Dept. of Agriculture has been carrying on experiments to test germicides and have been using dogs to father fleas in connectionâ€" with the work. The experts now have discovered a bull pup on which no kind of flea will live. As fast as the insects are placâ€" ed on the dog the‘,;,.hop right off again. The scientists ave now worrying to find out the secert of the bull pup‘s immunity from the common curse of dogs. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO sn nsm mnes, Though the black flies are botherâ€" some at present in this section, there are other districts much. worse affecâ€" ted. Not far from Sudbury moose are actually reported as being driven out of the woods by the flies. Last: week one moose deliberately pastured itself at Judge Mulligan‘s camp â€" at Lake Ramsay, and another joined a herd of cattle on a farm â€" near Sudâ€" bury. Even the chance of a bullet was preferable, these moose thought. to the absolute certainty of the black flies. And then, again, perâ€" haps the moose knew how poor at shooting the folks around Sudbury are, except in regard to hockey. A BAD GOLFER MAY BA A GOOD FELLOW AMER Al Some of Them Even Go to Hsaven Following the Rules Being in Their â€"Favour. The following five verses by Edgar A. Guest, and which appeared in the Ottawa Morning Journal of Wednesâ€" day last should contain an appeal to quite a number of the _ memâ€" bers of the Timmins Golf Club. All golfers know the _ strain on the temper it is when a low drive lands in the bunker on No. 4 fairway, and you‘go down to find the ball lyâ€" ing snugly in somebody‘s footprint. Someone who perhaps had the fortune to drive over the bunker but did not and you‘go down to find the ball lyâ€" ing snugly in somebody‘s footprint. Someone who perhaps had the fortune to drive over the bunker but did not wish to walk around, and took! the easier course of climbing over. Again when a nice two hundred yard drive is spoiled by stopping up in a hole eaunsâ€" ed by someone taking out a slice of the soil and neglecting the admonâ€" ition on the score card of ‘‘Please replace Turf.‘"‘. The title of the folâ€" lowing poem is ‘‘The Golfer Who Was Good,"‘ and is as follows:â€" "*©I‘m a golfer, St. Peter!‘‘ the spirit proclaimed. s ©And of much I have done I am truly ashamed, f , I have flubbed and dubbed to my pitiful cost, j But I blamed not the caddie whénâ€" ‘‘I‘m a golfer, St. Peter! just one of ‘ the mutts, ‘My sins they are many, I‘ve taken three putts ‘Countless times when I shouldn‘t, my record is black, Butalways the divot I eut, I put ~â€" back! "‘I‘ve sliced and I‘ve hooked and I‘ve been in the rough, Twenty years I‘ve played golf, I‘ve had trouble enough! ‘T‘ve cursed when in sand traps, of that there‘s no doubt, Butâ€" I covered my footprints bhefore I‘m an old hundred _ shooter! 1 thought I was great Whenever I finished around ninetyâ€" eight ; I was slow at the game, I confess it to you But I never refused to let others go ©Come in,‘‘ said St. Peter, ‘‘come in and sit down! , Come in and I‘ll give you a harp and a crown! } I‘ve a welcome for you, with the saints you may dwell For it takes moral courage to play bad golf well."" FIRST SHOT AT HIMSELE THEN CUT HIS OWN THROAT *A farm laborerâ€" named â€" Hueston, living at Campbell‘s boarding house at Charlton, showed special determinâ€" ation to kill himself some days ago. He first attempted his life by shootâ€" ing, but succeeded only in clipping a piece out of his ear. One of the hotel employees heard the shot and investigated, finding Hueston lying on the bed apparently dead with blood streaming from the side of his ear. He rushed to call a doctor and in his absence Hueston sat up, reachâ€" ed for a hand mirror and slashed his throat with his knife. He gashed his throat from ear to ear, severing veins and arteries, and when medical help arrived Hueston was dead. Hueston hadâ€" been working on farms _ near during the spring, and had been noticed on account of acting rather queerly at times. Cochrane tax rate this year will be 50% mills for Public Sehool supportâ€" ers and 49% for Separate School supâ€" porters. Last year the rates were 58% and 57%, respectively, The reâ€" duction of over seven mills in each case is a pleasing one. North Bay proposes to pave nine more blocks of the prineipal streets of the town this year. North Bay apparently intends to eventually beâ€" come an all:paved town. â€" Paved streets are by far the cheapest and the best in the long run.
