ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS TO GIVE LECTURE KNIGHTS OF THE GOI.DEX EAGLES OBSERVER DIFFERS WITH SLATE BELT (Communicated.) The Slate Belt Transit Company has again made a change of sched¬ ule. The cars arrive uere at ten minutes before the hour and leave ten minutes after the hour. Not only have they changed their run¬ ning time but have also changed the manner of running, that is, the cars are now operated by one mau, there¬ by inconveniencing the commuters of arriving at their destinations later than before. As one man can hardly do the work of two and at the same time putting the lives of patrons and employe in jeopardy, there are cases on record where cars that were built and supposed to be safe for one man operation, have got beyond control of the motorman, ending with fatal results, instead of the antiquated rolling stock that the company is now displaying. Now would be an opportune time for some rdfable auto man to start up a jitney route between town and Belfast, where traffic is the heaviest, since the com¬ munity is now supplied with the best of roads between these points.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS TO GIVE LECTURE KNIGHTS OF THE GOI.DEX EAGLES OBSERVER DIFFERS WITH SLATE BELT (Communicated.) The Slate Belt Transit Company has again made a change of sched¬ ule. The cars arrive uere at ten minutes before the hour and leave ten minutes after the hour. Not only have they changed their run¬ ning time but have also changed the manner of running, that is, the cars are now operated by one mau, there¬ by inconveniencing the commuters of arriving at their destinations later than before. As one man can hardly do the work of two and at the same time putting the lives of patrons and employe in jeopardy, there are cases on record where cars that were built and supposed to be safe for one man operation, have got beyond control of the motorman, ending with fatal results, instead of the antiquated rolling stock that the company is now displaying. Now would be an opportune time for some rdfable auto man to start up a jitney route between town and Belfast, where traffic is the heaviest, since the com¬ munity is now supplied with the best of roads between these points.

Every girl is looking for a bssv band—both before and after mar¬ riage. Little girls are punished for raak- lug faces. But not when they grow up!
