The fire was apparently caused by a stove in a shed where the monoplane was being overâ€" hauled. The airship had just been very thoroughly overhauled and was in firstâ€"class shape for the winter season. Pilot Ed Ahr, in charge of the air work at South Porcupine had expected to start in a short time for Moose FPacâ€" tory where they had seme airship work to complete. Ten years ago at St. Matthew‘s church was the occasion of dedicaâ€" tion of a beautiful rerodos and sancâ€" tuary panelling, the gift of Mrs. R. Sinclair. It was of Gothic design anad a colour matching the furnishings of the church. There was a large attendâ€" ance on the occasion and the services were especially impressive and inspirâ€" ing. The memorial was given ;o the glory of God and in loving memoty of Mrs. Sinclair‘s husiband, the late Robert Sinclair, and their daughter, Evelyn (the late Mrs. S. G. Powler.) Ten years ago the frozen body Of a man was found ajongside the T. N. O. railway tracks in the rock cut beâ€" tween Schumacher and Timmins.

From the condition of the bedy at the time of its dissovery, it was certain that death took place several hours before.

When the isody was found one hand was still in his overcoat pocke;, s3 it was surmissed that death came suddenly to him. It was thought that while walking along the tracks or standing on the line he was hit by a train and knocked clear off the railway. He was struck at the right eye, part of the skull above the evye being fractured. His right leg Flying Over the Atlantic On a Magic Carpet (This is the second of a series of articles about conditions in Great Briâ€" tain and other countries visited durâ€" ing six weeks spen; in Europe. Lt is written specially dfor the Canadian Weekly Newspapers by the editor of the Fergus Newsâ€"Record.) Flying across the Atlantic is purée magic. There is no other way to describe it, No modern novelist has ever told the story. Tt is necessary to go away back to the Arabian Nights with its magic carpets, to Icarus with his wax wings and his unsuccessful attempt to fly over a much narrower body of water, or to Pegasus with his broad pinions. Clipper trips are more modern than our literature. A writer in one popular American magazine recently tried to tell about the flight from New York to Lisbon, but he depended heavily on photoâ€" graphs. He did say, though, tha; those who had crossed the Atlantic by Clipâ€" per belonged to the most exclusive club in the world. The membership fee was $1,000 for less than a week and one requires *"pull" besides to become iniâ€" tiated into this society. (Officially, the term is not "pull" but "priorities") Perhaps there is some truth to that, but it does seem a prosaic way speak of magic. o New York, which was fortunate, for ? l y | l | In many ways, modern science imâ€" proves on ancient fairy stories. I alâ€" ways had some doubts about the deâ€" sirability of travelling by carpet high albove the earth. The carpet was sure to be draughty. If one moved too near the edge, there was always a danger of falling off. And after all, the lady of the Arabian Nights and the Other ancient story tellers knew nothing of the actual loveliness of the world far above the clouds and particularly at sunset, or the approach of a thunder storm, or when a rainbcw spread itâ€" self into a full circle in front of the plane. Nothing they ever imagined could equal the beauty of that world and it is almost impossible to describe it to earthkound readers. Meeting the Other Editors At New York, I met five of the other editors who were to make the trip to England. Three were from Ontario and two from Montreal: B. K. Sandâ€" well and Bishop R. J. Renison of Torâ€" onto: Gratton O‘Leary of Ottawa; Osâ€" wald Mayrand and Lionel Shapiro of Montreal. The last named lives much f the time in Washington and knows we learned that a Portugese wWas necessary before we boarded the Clipâ€" per, and this required much running around and the payment of eight preâ€" cious American dollars each to the Portugese Embassy before we embarkâ€" ed. (Later we learned just how much travellers through Portugal have ‘to pay toward the upkeep of Dictator Salazar‘s government.)

Lightning Around the Wings Nearing Portugal, we met a high thunderstorm. This time, the Clipper seemed unable to rise above it.

When the firemen arrived the firs had a good start from the basement and had already reached up through the floor and into a store and barkber shop on the street floor. Firemen saiid! that the fire started because the pipes: were too close to the wall. | The basement part of the building was badly burned but the fire was checked before it done much damage to the store or the barber shop although quite a bit of damage was caused to the store stocks by smoke and water.
