From the 1st to the last will be marked
by mosquito showers. From the 11th

divorces, followed by thunder and lightning.

Sidelights on Science
If all the oceans should evaporate they
would leave a deposit of 235 feet of salt.
This, it is estimated, would salt enough
pretzels to supply the world for several years.
It is claimed that if the power concealed
in the sting of a hornet could be harnessed
and utilized in commercial channels, it would
lower the cost of transportation by a good
many per cent.
An interesting experiment for little boys
is to go into the dimly lit parlor where the
big sister and her young man are sitting.
Do not shuffle the feet or make any noise,
and you will see a spark.
A hen will lay 200 eggs a year. A
mosquito will lay 200,000,000 in one
short summer. Are you gladder that hens
are not mosquitoes, or that mosquitoes are
not as big as hens?
| Hotel Hint:
No first class inn will permit guests
to indulge in such undignified gymnastics
as running through the corridors, or
jumping board bills.
Seasonable Advice:
Look out for the open work lawn
hose and accompanying shower baths.
