DECEMBER 12. 1918.���6 PAGES T ��l.50PerAnnV *#�� Harked Improvement Id Civic Finances Better Payment of Taxes Haa | Enabled Several Old Scores toj�� Wiped Off Civic finance* have been on the up-grade for tome time, and the past year especially ha*' put a decidedly brighter aspect upon the municipal balance sheet. At Monday evening'* council meeting the collector presented a statement ol tax payment* to the end of last month. Receipt* of taxes thi* year have been very much better, and in all, including arreara and redemption* of tax sale property, the city ha* received clear of all expenses in .connection therewith over $73,000. This is much brighter than for many yean past, and a* the mayor-pointed out, it has relieved the council of many tiresome obligation* some of which have been long outstanding. For instance, the bank loan ha* now been all paid off and a very substantial amoynt from the private loan*. In addition the city ha* placed in the Sinking Fund the full quota, or in other word* the full Sinking Fund levy for the year, a thing which ha* not been possible foi several year*, A report wa* received from Mr. J. McMillan, chief engineer at the power house, upon the tequire- mehts of the provincial inapector of electrical energy a* outlined in hi* recent letter. There wa* one portion of the report which caused considerable discussion, viz., that portion dealing with the requirement of the inapector that greater clearance be given between the city's electric light wire* and the Okanagan Telephone Co.'* wire*, lhe clerk wa* instructed to advise the inapector that the city is endeavoring to cany out all the'recommendation* made by him with the exception of the one relating to the distance between the wire*. The council wa* of opinion that the city should not be put to any ebpence on this account a* the Telephone Company erected their wire* after the city'* system had been installed, and if it is necessary to make the proposed changea the city i* of opinion that the Telephone Company should bear the expense of same. The chief engineer alto submitted an estimate of the cost of extending the street lighting system to tbe end of Patterson Avenue, alto of extending the power circuit to Messrs. Davy At Mill*' butcher ���tore. He stated that in hi* opinion the revenue to be derived from the proposed service would not justify the eity going to the expense of making the connection. The council therefore decided that they could not comply with the request* made. The clerk reported Mr. S, T Elliottt had intimated that he would expect the city to pay the cost of replacing the grates of the fumsce in the building that was rented by the city for the purpose of affordin g accommodation to the local military unit, his claim being that the grate* had been burned out because the ashe* had not been kept clear of same, and he contended that the city should replace same. ��� A letter from the Morrison- Thompson Hardware Co., Ltd. was read certifying to tha condition of the grates and enclosing their 'bill, amounting to $16.20 for replacing aame. The matter wa* laid on the table. A letter wa* received from Mr. R. B. Kerr advising the council that he had been requested by Mr. J. H. Trenwith to claim from the city the sum of $38.25 for injury to hi* motor car on October 3rd laat caused by it'a running into an .ur* guaided hole dug bv the city'* employee* at the corner of Bernard Avenue and Pendozi Street. He advised that the sum asked tor only covered the cost of repairing the car, and if a suit should be necessary all damage arising from the accident would be claimed. The council, however, refuted to acknowledge any liability In the matter. The major reported that Mr. Macnabb, district superintendent of the C. P. R., had met the council in committee and diacuosed the question of the team track the company proposed to inttal near their car alip, and for which they tought to lease a portion of the foreshore belonging to tne city. It had been suggested to Mi. Macnabb that the track be run south towards the power house instead of along the ahore to the north. The superintendent had stated that he could tee no reason why thia suggestion could not be complied with, but before giving a definite answer it would be necea- ary for him.to have a report from the company's engineers. Aid. Mantle asked the eouncil to confirm the action of the Board of Works in tearing up the plank tidewalk on the west side of Pendozi street between Lake and Park Avenues and constructing a cinder walk in lieu thereof. He stated that he had ordered thi* work to be commenced before aame had been sanctioned by the council for the reason that a large quantity of cinders were available and they could be laid to better advantage at the present time than would be possible in the spring. The action of the Public Work* Committee in thi* connection wat approved bv the council. Alderman Duggan reported that it would be necessary to arrange fora further supply of fuel for the power houae immediately aa the fuel on hand would only run the plant to the middle of January. . During the discussion .aeveral members of the council expressed their opinion that it would be very difficult to obtain an adequate tup- ply of fuel and the Light and Water committee waa requested to go fully into the matter. Alderman Lloyd-Jones reported that 17 new caae* of Spanish influenza had developed during the last two or three day*. The schools and picture theatre had been closed and the medical health officer had recommended that all placet of public assembly ahould also be closed. He considered tame to be necessary to protect the public health. TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF SPANISH INFLUENZA THE MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER ORDERS THAT ALL SCHOOLS, THEATRES AND. POOL ROOMS BE CLOSED) THAT CHURCH SERVICES AND LODGE MEET' INOS BE SUSPENDED I AND THAT NO PUBLIC GATH~ BRINGS OF MORE THAN TEN BE ALLOWED. 0. W.

To-day there are nearly twenty case* being treated, and thi prohibition againtt meeting! and church tervicet are in full force again, The school*, too, are cloud until after the holiday. The emergency hospital in the High achool ha* been fitted up again in readiness, but hat not yet been put to actual uae. Died of Pneumonia John William Major Watson, one of the men engaged on tha building of the new dam on the Kelowna Irrigation Co.'* water ayatem, died somewhat suddenly Thursday latt of pneumonia, following an influenza cold'. Deceased, who wat 31 yeart of age, came from Whonnock, B.C., about two yeart ago, seeking a change for the benefit of hit health For tome time he waa with Mr. J. Bowes at the Suntet Ranch, and lately haa been at the construction camp connected with the new dam. Though medical aid wat tummoned at toon at'the seriousness of hit illness waa recognized, hi* constitution waa not equal to the task of grappling with the severe attack of pneumonia which ���rt in. The funeral wa* delayed until Tuesday afternoon, pending the arrival of hit father from Whonnock, The family consists of, besides the parents, six brothers, three of whom are overseas, and three sitters. Deceaaed was unmarried. Minimum Wage for Women Workers A minimum wage of $12.75 per week for women over 18 yeart of age in mercantile houses, was set by the Minimum Wage Board meeting last Wedneaday at the coast, following an all-day conference with representatives of the employer*, emploveet and general public. Mr. J. D. McNiven, deputy minister of labor, and chairman of the board, announced that an order bringing the minimum wage into effect, would be made without delay. The board wat authorized nearly a year ago by the legislature, which waa unanimous on the principle of the' Minimum Wage Bill, of which Mrt. Ralph Smith, ML A., of Vancouver, wat the "mother." ��� Lt. Atkinton returned to Kelowna thit week. He it expecting to obtain hia releaae from the army ihortly. Great Britain will demand ot Germany ��8,000,000,000 for Great Britain and her dominion! at reparation for the war, according to the Daily Mail. Thia it what the war cott Great Britain and her dominiont, and Britith taxpayers will be relieved of ��400.000,000 per annum by the German payment. France's bill, it it said, will be larger. A bad skating tragedy happened at Goose Lake, near Vernon Tuesday night in which two young men arid two young women lost their live* by drowning. They had formed a skating party in the evening and had apparently dropped through the ice in a thin place They were not misted until next morning when their bodiet were discovered after a search. Thrift Stamps for Your Small Savings Start the Youngsters on Thia New Scheme War Savinga and Thrift stamp* are now on sale at all post, office*. Thi* plan hss been adopted by the federal government in order to encourage Canadians to invest small amount* at an exceptional rate of interest, with the assets of the Dominion ss security, to be used to help to finance the country through the critical period of reconstruction which it now at hand. War savings stamps are issued in the denomination of five dollars each. Each stamp costs the purchaser at the pretent time four dollars. The government will pay the holder five'dollars for each stamp on January 1st, 1924. The rate of interest paid to the holder of the certificate exceed* four and one-half per cent. For convenience the government gives each purchaser a war savinga certificate, which contains spaces for ten war savings stamp!, representing fifty dollars, when the spaces for stamp* are all filled. Should the holder desire to obtain cash for his war aavinga stampa before maturity, their cash surrender valge will be paid him at any money order post office, upon ten days' notice. The thrift stamp is similar to the war saving* stamp, but it issued in a denomination of twenty-five cents, for the convenience of those who wish to participate in the advantages offered, but to whom it may not be convenient lo pay four dollar* for a war savings stamp. The purchaser of a war thrift stamp is given a "thrift card" which contain* (pace* for pasting in sixteen thrift stamps, making four dollars in all. When the thrift card is filled in, the owner may take it to a pott office, bank or other authorized agency and exchange it for a war savinga stamp and certificate blank, by paying a few cent* to make up the difference between the four dollars worth of thrift stamps anS the price of the war tavingt stamp, for the month in which the exchange it made. The thrift stamps do nail bear interest, they make it easy for even the children to aave in amall sums and ultimately to get war savinga ttampt which do bear interest. No cosh can be realized on the thrift ttampt until the- holder hat a sufficient number to obtain a war' savings stamp, which n ay be redeemed as explained above. The scheme is one that promises not only to obtain in the aggregate large turn* of money for the federal treasury, but what it probably even of greater moment, it promises to prove a very ttrong influence in promoting habits of saving and of thrift among all classes in the communities throughout Canada. Rutland News Dr. Nelson Shepherd, who left hit dental practice in Kelowna to join the dental cups for overseas, ha* now volunteered ftr service with the expedition to Siberia. Friend* in Kamloops have received word from Lt. C. W. Dickson, of Kelowna, that he had been called to Buckingham Palace, where he was decorated with the Military Medal by King George personally. Lt. Dickson went oversea* with the 172nd, transferred to the 72nd and wa* wounded at Vimy Ridge. He naturally feels very proud of hi* distinction and hia many friend* in thi* locality will be much pleased to learn of tha aame. ���Kamloops Standard (from our own oorrssDondsnt), Earl Hardie haa gone to the coatt for an extended vitit. While chopping wood latt week the Rev, Griffiths wat unfortunate enough to cut hit hand to severely that surgical aid waa necessary. Mr. and Mra. Coxworth left on Monday's boat. They will tpend a few weekt on the prairie, afterwards going to Victoria to reside until spring. Mrs. Gordon Caspell and her ion from Calgary, Alta., are on a vitit to her parents, Mr. and Mrt. Clever. The Girlt' Enterprise Club met Tuesday at the home of Mrt. Clever to discuss plant for their winter work. At the meeting of the United Farmert, held in the schoolhouse latt week, the following resolution* were adopted ��� Calling attention to the urgent need of better road*, also the building of the CN.R. from Kamloops to Kelowna; and the advisability of starting the rock crusher during the winter. The Women's Institute mrt at the schoolhouse latt Wednetday afternoon for the final meeting of tbe year. Mrt. Campbell Brown, of Oyama, gave an address on The opportunities and obligation* of our new citizenship," which wa* an inspiration to all the member*. Some excellent music wa* rendered including two violin and pianoforte duet* by Mis* Morrison and Miss Bruce, and two vocal solo* by Mi** Dalziel. The director* provided tea. A collection for the Red Croat amounted to #.75.. . Earthquake Startles Orchard Changes Hands at Westbank Mr. Scott Blackwood, of West- bank, ha* just completed the tale of hit ten acre orchard to Mr. John Faulkner of the aame district. The orchard it a seven-year-old one, mostly planted in applea, and ia atated to be in good condition, the returns thit year amounting to approximately $2500. The price paid wat $7500. Mr. Faulkner it an old-timer in the diatrict. and knowt a good buy when he sees it. Mr. and Mrt. Blackwood, owing to a recent bereavement, are teeking a change for a time, but will probab- returri in a couple of yeart. Distinctly Felt in Many Placea Some Damage Done Residents of the coatt citiet and Vancouver Island ware startled laat Friday by an earthquake, which wat quite distinctly felt, and in fact did some amount of damage. The big clock on the Vancouver Block���Vancouver'* "Big Ben"��� waa (topped by the shock, a* were other electrically controlled timepiece* in the business districts. There wat one tremor, and thia wat reported by residents in different parte of the city, lt lasted for about a minute. From the Dominion Government Meteorological Bureau it wa* announced that the shock waa very uniform, according to early report* from Seattle, Victoria and other pointa along the Coast. The earthquake teemed however to have been more distinctly felt on the wett coaat of Vancouver Island, where many pertont were thrown from their bed*. At Ettevan Point the beacon wat extinguished at the lighthouse, and the gear slightly disarranged. Slight tremors had been felt in the past, but not with the severity of the quake of Friday, nor over the same extended area. Late Kaiser Attempts to Commit Suicide William Hohenzollern,, former German Emperor, attempted to commit auicide, following mental depression, according to the Leipzig Tageblatt, quoted in a Copenhagen despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. The newspaper says it received ita information from �� Carman staff officer, who wa* wounded in frustrating Wilhelm. The officer (aid the former Kaiser ha* been much depressed of late. Great Britain will use all her influence to make the league of nations a powerful reality, but the can not regard it aa a substitute for her own navy in any measurable period of time, Wintton Spencer Churchill, the minister of munition*, declares. At the beginning of the war Great Britain wa* using submarines which weighed between 300 to 500 tone; now she hat underwater ships of 4,000 tons, sheathed in armour and carrying 6-inch guns. $5.?? for $4.w GIVE War-Savings Stamps As Christmas Gifts BUY a War-Savings Stamp for $4.00 turd affix it to space No. 1 of the Certificate that -will be given you.

Some alarm has been caused during the past week by the outbreak of a number of fresh cases of influenza which have been sufficiently numerous to warrant the placing in force again of the closing restrictions with regard to schools, church services, and meet- i igs. It is, no doubt, an infernal nuisance to be placed under such i ban, especially so close to Christmas, but we have only to read of the terrible ravages of the disease in some other less favored cities, to become reconciled to almost any precautions to prevent the spread of it here. So far thee* restrictions have been received with the utmost cheerfulness and even hearty cooperation. It is reasonable to suppose that if people refrain from gathering in large crowds the spread of the epidemic will soon be checked. Very little'feoocr will be achieved unless each individual makes it h>s business to see that he does not exptse himself to unnecessary risks, and also that he takes proper measures in case of suspicious symplonsshowing themselves. The cold winds we have been having this week are the greatest chill producers of the year, and to stand around in exposed places as many will do, is simply inviting trouble. When a cold does develope get after it quickly and avoid all unnecessary contact with other people until it is known for certain whether you have influenza or not. Don't let half a dozen other people catch it from you while you are trying to make up your mind whether you have the "flu** or not. Orders for Local Scouts "*l prepared' Kelowna Troop Troop Firat; Self Laat The Red Cross chive -so fai as the public appeal is concerned��� has been postponed until the third week in the New Year. This was the decision arrived at at a meeting of the provincial campaign committee. It had been realized states Mr. Kearns, the campaign manager, that the Red Cross drive coming so close on the heels o( the Victory Loan drive and right in the midst of the Christmas shopping season, was making too heavy demands on the generosity of the mercantile fraternity who were the backbone ol the organization to canvass and collect funds. The Red Cross drive had originally been planned to take place earlier in the fall, but had suffered postponement by reason of the ' flu" epidemic and the Victory Loan drive, and the committee took the view that it would be in the best interests of the Red Cross Society that the drive be postponed till after the New year. Edited by Pioneer. Dee. 10, 1918. Owing to lhe fresh outbreak of the "flu" there will be no regular parades of the troop until furlher notice. We hope that the ban will be lifted in time for us to have our nnnual Christmas bun-feed, at which time we also purpose having the Investiture Ceremony when nil recruits who have passed their Tenderfoot tests will make their scout promise and become members of the great Brotherhood. As there are only ten players in a match and as the Exhibition Building is such a large airy place, we can still go on and play all the basket-ball we can. Some' good games were played last Friday and we are anxious now to get Summerland up here whenever they can come. For the purpose of practises the scouts have been divided into three groups. No. I group consists of C. Gaddes, Parkinson, Day, Davis, Mantle, Calder J. Groves, L. Gaddes, G. Groves, Buck, and R. Weddell. No. 2 group consists of Hunter, Taylor, McKenzie, C. Cunningham, Whitehead, Sinkinson, Rowcliffe, Hew- elson, Small, Duncan, Neish and Ball. No. 3 group consists of Wil- st>n, Clarence, Walker, E. Groves, Fowler, L. Cunningham, McCarthy, Ailken, Cooper, Patmore, Dore and Morden. The first named of each group is to be the convener for his group, and the practises will be held as follows; No. I'son Fridays at 8.30; No. 2's on Fridays at 7.30, and No. 3's on Monday* at 7.30. Other practises and matches will be specially arranged from time to time. , A business session of the Court of Honour for leaders was held on Wednesday last after which the leaders were re-examined in the second-class ambulance and sig- na ling tests. T. L. Parkinson secured the requisite 85 per cent, in both and P. L. Calder in the ambulance. Recruits Morden, Dore and Pat- more were posted to the Otter, Eagle and Wolf patrols respectively. To the first scout or cub who can correctly answer this riddle we shall be pleased to award a 1918 photograph of the troop: "What is that which is bought by lhe vard and worn by the foot ? " Competition closes on the 21st nst, and the answer must be ori- TWO KINDS Bobby's mother had let him stay home from from school in the afternoon because he complained of having a fever. After he had looked as sick as he could all afternoon, he asked her after supper if he could go out and play basket-ball. "No, Bobby," she replied, "not if you have a fever." "But, ma," exclaimed Bobby, "ita the basket-ball-fever I've git." (From the Scout, in part) Nomination Day in England Reveals Great Surprises Wednesday last was nomination day for candidates for parliament in the coming British general election and among the surprises was the appearance of an opponent for Premier Lloyd George, at Carnarvon. He is Austin Harrison, editor of the English Review, and son of Frederick Harrison, the famous positivist philosopher. Mr. Harrison is standing on the plank of "A League of Nations" and the abolition of conscription. Another striking feature of the nomination was the large number of unopposed returns. Out of 707 members to be elected to the new parliament, 104 already have been returned unopposed ��� forty-one Coalition Unionists, twentv-eight Coalition Liberals, eleven Laborites twenty-two Sinn Feiners, one Nationalist and one Independent. Among those elected were A. J. Balfour, William Brace, parliamentary under-secretary to the home department; John Robert Clynes, former food controller; J. Austen Chamberlin ; James William Low- ther, Speaker of the House of Commons, and William Crooks, Labor- ite. Sinn Feiners elected include Prof, Edward De Valera for East Clare ; Count Plunkett for North Roscommon,and William Cosgrave for Kilkenny. The success of the Sinn Feiners in securing twenty-two returns out of a total of 105 Irish seats was another of the day's surprises. They had only six seats in the last parliament. Among the candidates nominated were four women. 1 hey include Miss Christabel Pankhurst, daughter of Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst, the suffrage leader; Mrs. Frederick Pethick Lawrence, joint editor of Votes for Women ; Miss Mary McArthur, secretary of the British Women's Trades' Union, and Countess Georgina Markie- vicz, of Dublin, the Sinn Fein Leader Bible is Widely-Read Book Since August, 1914, the British and Foreign Bible Society on ita war service alone, has sent out an average of more than 7000 volumes every working day, for the use of the fighting men, the sick and the wounded, prisoners of war, exiles and refugees, and the members of various labor contingents. This means more than four copies of the Scriptures have been distributed every minute, day and night, since the war began. The books consist of New Testaments, Gospels or Psalms, and have gone out in seventy-five different languages. A flea and a fly had the "flu;" They neither were sure what to do. Let ua fly, aaid the flea; let us flee, aaid the fly. So they Sew through a flaw in a flue. The Wolff Agencyiiublishea the abdication of Crown Prince Fried- erich Wilhelm, dated at Wieren- gen, December 1st. It says : "I formally and definitely renounce the imperial crown, which might come to me through abdication of the kaiser and king, or other legitimate rights." Lord Robert Cecil, former assistant secretary of state for foreign affairs, has been asked by the government to take charge of the British section of the peace con- congress which is to deal with the question of the league of nations. Lord Robert haa made announcement that he cordially accepts the invitation. Between 300.000 and 350,000 deaths from influenza and pneumonia have occurred among the civilian population of the United States since September 15, according to estimates of the public health service. These calculations are based on reports from cities and states keeping accurate record and public health officials believe ihey are conservative. The epidemic persists, but deaths are much less numerous. BURNE & WEDDELL Barrister, Solicitors and Notaries Public, 6. C. Weddell. ��� John F. Burne. KELOWNA B.G. R. B.

IN THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD OOOOOOCKX)CKXXX>C��OCXXXXX��00 THE SOUND OF OUR VOICE experiments -Support Contention That Everyone Hears His Own Voice Different!* From Others. Thnt n mini does not hear his own -. oici- ns al! the rent of Uie world hears it is shown hy an Interesting experiment ileKcrihed hy Dr. L. Laloy lu -La Nature (Paris). Says this v. rlter: "If a pprson records on a phono- ;.niph .a few sentettoefl pronounced by himself, together with others by his frlr ui'-, "lid causes the machine to re- produeo these tu the end of a brief ported, It generally happens that he i:.sily recognizes hia friends' voices, hut nol his own. On the other hand. the frlen Is. recognize his voice per- : -< 11; Thia singular (aot proves thut , ir ry one hears his own voice ditfer- ,i'y from others. "As is remarked by Professor Ex- :!c-r,tlie difference must lie In the quality of tone. It must be remem- eo'rod tlir:t one hears his own voice not only through tho air, as do his auditors, but across the solid parts t Itnated between the organs of speech ::nd those Of hearing. The sound thus ��� reduced lias a different timbre frotn ''mi1, conducted to tlie ear by air alone "Wc nrny show this as follows i.l;e the end of u wooden rod be- I ween the teeth and pronounce a rowel continuously. Let the other end lie alternately taken between the tr i !'i end released by another person, who nt the snnie time stops his oars. Tin- hitler will find lhat every time lie seizes the rod In hlB leoth the Bound becomes stronger than when il reaches his ear through air alone, anrl Ims a different quality. The expert- tuenl may bo varied by applying a wooden rod to the larynx of the person observed and touching It, from time to time, to the observer's own larynx. As in the preceding case, it will be found that Its passage thro'irfh n solid body augments the itnensKy et' the sound nnd modifies its quality." SOUND IN THE UNIVERSE. We live und move at the bottom Df an ocean of air, the earth's atmosphere. Oae consequence of tills la that every mechanical disturbance starts waves of compression and rarefaction, which radiate out from the source, and, striking the drum of our ear, may (if of the right strength nnd quality) cause In us tlie sensation of 'sound." Among such sensations some affect us merely as "noises"; In others we recognize a more or less well-defined "musical pitch," and "tone quality." Physically the "noise" liffers from the "musical note" In that the forrier Is an irregular disturbance, while the latter Is periodic and of definite frequency. Not thai there Is any hard and fast. Hne ot demiirkation; a rapid succession oi impulses, which separately would br mere noises, may impress the ear with a detinlte Bonse of pitch. Thus ths teeth of a saw, cutting in rapid sequence through a wooden board, pro iluce a sound of definite pitch, thougl lacking perhaps in musical quality Or, again, a sharp noise of briel luralion, proceeding Trom a point Ir the neighbourhood of a series of equidistant obstacles, Biich as a line ol fence-rails, or a flight of stone steps produces upon tlie observer a sensation in which a w'orj or less woll- defined pitch can I t recognized. The explanation of this t tenomona Is that ihe sound Is reflected back from each Fence-rail In turn, and since it takes time to travel, each echo reaclis the observer a trifle luter than that from the neighbouring rail. To Mate Light in a licit'le. A safe light for going uuout at night or where there are inflammable materials, as Into a store-room, may be made as follows: Take a long glass bottle and put into il a piece of phosphorus the size of a pea; upon this pour pure olh'e oil healed to the boiling point until this bottle Is about one-third full and cork tightly. When light is needed take tlie cork out aud allow the air to enter, subsequently reoorklng. The empty space In the bottle will then become luminous and give quite un effective light, it It be-' comes dim lt can easily bo revived by uncorking the bottle Tor a few seconds. One bottle will Inst a wliule winter. Small bottles mny alio be prepared In this v.cy und carried in the ; oc-ket. Smalt but Slicing. Tho Katydid, which is closely allied to tho grasshopper funiily, Is something of a hauler lor its avoirdupois. Recently, an averago--l(ioking specimen wus haruesBed lo a kind of sledge made by folding a piece of ordinary nolepaper, aud then loaded the slcdgs with various articles. The Insect proved able to draw, in addition to the original paper, twelvo paper Bheets eaoh three by four and a half inches, a large screw, two steel pens, a iiloue weighing two ounces, and throe and a half lead pencils. When the weight became too heavy to draw otherwise the katydid got its fore feet over tha edge of the'tabic for a tetter hold, and on addition of another weight It Increased tho ndhe'.i;r power of Its feet bv moiBtenlng them in Its mouth. How Deserts arc Formed There Is a popular Idea that deserts Ilk... the Sahara are the bottoms of nncle.it seas which have been lifted above '.heir original elevation by geological forces. This notion Is an erroneous one. It Is absolutely certain, high authorities contend, that the sands of all the great deserts have been formed on the spot by the dlsla,, tegratlon of the solid rocks on which they rest. Desert Bands correspond in all respects, so far as their mode ot origin Is concerned, to the dust and sand that accumulates on our high roads In summer, All deserts are situated where the winds, from the ocean, before reaching them, are exhausted of their moisture by passing over mountains or across extensive tracts of land. Fruit Union Building Collapses at Summerland The upper floor of the Fruit Union building at Summerland collapsed early last week. Tht lower floor waa filled up with unpacked boxes of apples, and a large quantity had been stored on the upper floor. It was, without doubt, the load which had been put on the upper floor that caused the collapse, but that the building was not capable of currying even a greater load was not suspected. The cause of the collapse was the puncturing of the lower floor by a number of the 12x12 square pillars which support the floor above and which were not set squarely over the posts underneath. The middle of the upper floor dropped several feet, and but for the fact that the lower floor was filled to the height of perhaps eight feet with apples, the whole load on the floor above would have been precipitated on to the main floor.- The building is owned by the C.P.R., by whom it ia leased lo the Fruit Union. It ia thought that there will not be any great damage to the fruit beyond a few boxes on the main floor, crushed by the ceiling above. At the time of the accident there were about 25,000 boxes of apples in thi building.
