Lynbrook — ' The'auditorium of tb« High School presented an attractive appearance Tueeday evening when the Commence ment exercises of the Class of 1912 were held. The class colors. Red and Gold, together with the class flower, a red roee, predominated In the decora tions of the large apdltorlam, and en twined together, presented a very pretty appearance. Across the back of the stage, whereon were seated the members ot the Class, the Board of Education and the faculty of the school, in addition to the specially In vited guests and the speaker of the evening, was a large banner bearing the motto of the class, “ Carpe Diem,\ which stood out boldly upon the ban ner.

Owing to the increase of bis business and the demands made upon bis time by fulfilling bis village office, Mr. Wil liam B. T. Ronalds tendered bis resig nation as a member of the Board of Village Trustees at their meeting held on Tuesday evening last. The resig nation was accepted with considerable regret. ________ There was a large attendance at the St. James M. E. Church on Sunday evening, when the pastor, Rev. Dr. George Adams, delivered the baccalaur eate sermon to the Class of 1912, of the Lynbrook High School. The church was handsomely decorated with the class colors and flowers, and presented an attractive appearance. Dr. Adams’ sermon was very forcible and presented excellent mottos to the graduates for the future course. After frightening a number of wom en on upper Franklin avenue, Patrick O’Leary, who escaped from the insane asylum at East Islip on Sunday, was arrested by Constable Carman Plant Monday morning. O’Leary, who is about 37 years of age, described in a rambling manner, the institution from which he had made his escape, and stated that he had walked to Lynbook. The officials at the as; lum were noti fied of his capture and an officer from there arrived in Lynbrook on Monday afternoon and conducted the unfortun ate rcan to his asylum. He acted as if rather pleased to be again in the custody of his asylum. Village Tax Collector Kam reports that up to date he has collected about $8,000 of this year’s budget. Hector Bond was arrested on Satur day on a charge of intoxication. He was fined ten dollars; paid. The Long Island Railroad has had their third rail system sprinkled with oil, to allay the large clouds of dust caused by the paesage of their trains. The main tracks will be oiled within a few days. The company has also had an excellent eight foot brick walk laid across their right of way on the At lantic avenue crossing, which improves the crossing considerably. \Christian Science’’ will be the lea- Carriage and Wagon Builder son-sermon at the Christian Science j Carriage and Auto Painter Church on Sund., ^ Speci, | ly; Wh, e|, Rul>bel. Telephone 38-L Freeport Merrick Long Island Summer Resorts on L. I. \Already there are signs that Long Island resorts will be invaded this sum mer by multitudes of city residents who seek rest and recreation. In fact, | if the unusual dense passenger travel over the Long Island Railroad within the past month is any criterion,\ said President Ralph Peters in an interview, \I beileve that our, entire passenger equipment will be in service and taxed to its utmost carrying capacity soon after the summer time table goes into effect the latter part of this month.\ President Peters stated further: \An idea of the premature rush to the Island this season may be gleamed from the fact that approximately fifteen thousand passengers have been arriv ing at and departing from Pennsylvainia Station daily during the last few weeks, which is considerably more people than the Company handled at that terminal a year ago.\ \All the commutation records of 1911 have thus far been bettered, and if the good weather continues, the commuta tion business during July, August and September should easily eclipse that of the same months of last year. One need but watch the surging crowds that leave the Pennsylvainia Station each day between the hours of 4 P. M. and 7 P. M. to be convinced of the ever-increasing tendency of city folks to live in the country. Between these three hours a total of twenty-seven trains leave, nine an hour, or a train every six minutes, for different Long Island points. A count one day last week snowed that nearly 7,500 patrons left the Pennsylvainia Station m this three hour period.\ CHAS. O. COLVIN The meetings of the Mothers' Club have been discontinued until Sep tember. The next meeting of the King’s Daughters will be held at the residence of Mrs. Garrett Winter, McKinley avenue, Friday. This will be the last meeting until Fall, and all members are urged to attend. An excellent program has been prepared. There was quite a large attendance at the porch party at the residence of Mrs. William Cochran, Hempstead avenue, Saturday afternoon, for the benefit of Christ Church. The grounds and large porch were handsomely deco rated, large American flags predomi nating. Quite a neat sum was realized. ____ Lyceum Hall was well filled on Mon day night when the Commencement exercises of the Grammar School were held.

It rises in Baden and flows throngh Wurttemberg and Bavaria; nearly half its length lies in Austria-Hun gary; then it separates the latter country and Servia. At Orsova three nationalities meet—Hunga rians, Servians and Roumanians. After that it serves as a boundary between Roumania and Bulgaria, and its mouth lies in Roumanian territory. As one passes from source to mouth strange sounds greet the ear. First, high German, dialects, as Alemanic, Suabian and Bavarian; then the language of the proud eons of Arpad, the Magyars; then the Servian and Roumanian and Bulga rian tongues. The management of the river improvement shows the qumber and variety of the interests. An international commission under took the deepening of one of the delta channels, and a joint commis sion of the riparian states removed the dangers of the rapids. The scenery along the Danube is as varied as the people that dwell on its banks. There arc stretches whose beauty rivals that of the pic turesque parte of the castled Rhine; then comes the monotony of the wide plain; then it breaks once more through mountain chains and again the scene is wild and beautiful. There is more of the beautiful bitie Danube connected with Aus tria-Hungary than with any other state, and this river and its tribu taries cement the heterogeneous parts of that composite country more naturally and more firmly than laws and treaties can. Far more freight is moved on the Dan ube than in and out of the Austrian Adriatic ports, so that in spite of the possession of a strip of coast the monarchy may be called an in land state. Unfortunately for this government, the all important Dan ube slips from it by flowing far be yond the borders of the land, yet it has even in politics a directing in fluence. The eyes of Austrian states men are turned eastward. Eco nomically and politically the Dan ube is of such dominating signifi cance to Austria-Hungary that it has been suggested that this con glomerate state be called not the dual monarchy, but the Danubian monarchy. The Danube was the scene of Ro man colonization, of the fierce in roads of the migration of the Huns, the Avars and the Magyars; of the advance of the crusaders . to the cast, of that of the Turks toward the west and more recently of the growth of thc^ house of Ilapsburg find of the disintegration of the Ot toman realm. What causes this fre- ; quent reference in history to the 1 Danube and its valley? A glance at the map will account for it. Stretching from the headwaters of the Rhine, the Rhone, the Elbe .and the Oder to the Black sea, the Dan ube forms and for ages has formed the connecting link between the orient and the Occident.—Journal of Geographers. Plants T h a t Mimic Stones. In South Africa a plant of the genus mesembryanthemum, grow ing on stony ground, so closely re sembles 8 pebble that it has been picked up in mistake for a stone. Another species of the same plant, growing on the hills around the Karru, produces two leaves about ns large as ducks’ eggs, having a sur face resembling weathered stone of a brownish gray color tinged with green. These plants look like stones, but for a short time they put forth bright yellow flowers. Still another species of the same plant resembles the quartz pebbles among which it grows. A Novel Suggestion. Grownups find it hard to under stand a healthy child’s need for con stant physical activity. But the need is very real nevertheless. A little boy of six or seven leaned over to his aunt in the middle of the \long prayer” and whispered softly: “Would they care, Aunt Elsie, if I stood up and went through my dumbbell and Indian club motions while the minister prays? I’m aw ful tired of sitting still!”—Youth’s Companion. Lack of Proportion. A lack of proportion is at the bot tom o f many of~*he- disagreeable things of life. A slovenly person does not place sufficient emphasis on the superficial amenities of life; a frivolous person places too much. A stingy person overestimates the value of a penny; an extravagant person underestimates it. On a'ml oS . “What a lot of style the Browns are putting on.\ “Yes, and what a lot of creditors they are putting off.\ — Boston Tninaoript. Dumas Forced the Admission From • Msn Who Knew It AIL The man who knows it all ia rare ly popular. According to an anec dote of Alexandre Dumas, that gen erous romancer once balked at con tributing to a fund for the relief of such a person, a fellow author fallen into indulgence in his old age. \I refuse!” he roared angrily at the collector who had approached him as he sat with a group of liter ary friends. “Doubly, trebly, con tinuously and eternally, I refuse! That\man is beyond my patience.” At once his companions took up the theme, and anecdote after anec dote was related of the man’s ego tistic and disagreeable traits. “If he were ever known to admit an error himself,” the last speaker concluded, “one might forgive him, but to be always right and to know everything—it is too much. Show me that he has once excused a mis take in another or owned to one himself and I will subscribe to your fund, but that is something nobody can do.” “On the contrary, it is something I can do!” cried Dumas unexpected ly, his good humor quite restored by his little outburst. \Listen. Once, from an inn where we were both staying together by chance, he and I took a walk in the fields. I know something of mycology; he does not, but he thinks he does. Pres ently we find a large, thick and pe culiar fungus. It is new to both of us, but I recognize it and chance to remark—being, as you know, a bet ter cook than author—that it is a pity, since there is amply enough for a meal and it looks appetizing, that it is not, after all, edible. “ 'But, my faith, Monsieur Du mas, it is edible!’ he cries, and he proceeds to argue. I do not argue. I gather the thing into my silk liandkerchief, and when at length he pauses for my rejoinder I say simply that I will accept his word for it, and as soon ns we return to' the inn, where I am excellent friends with the cook, I will go into the kitchen, stew the thing myself, pour over it a little sauce of which I have the secret, which is indeed a dream, and it shall he our first course for luncheon. Doubtless it will be delicious, and if wc die the responsibility will be none of mine. ‘‘‘For the rest of the walk he is silent. At the door of the inn he is pale. At the threshold of the kitchen he clears his throat as if to speak. When the cook offers me a stewpan he gasps. When I drop the specimen into it ho says to me, low but quite distinctly, 'Monsieur, let us omit that first course; it is pos sible I was mistaken.’ “You see, gentlemen, we sub scribe to this fund for the longer preservation in life of an indifferent mycologist.”—Youth’s Companion. Breathing Machinery. A writer on engineering subjects calls attention to the fact that a piece of machinery, such as a mo torcar, put aside after being used, is in danger of internal rusting through a kind of respiration which affects cylinders, gear boxes, clutch chambers, interspaces in ball bear ings, and so forth. Every inclosed air space “breathes” by drawing in air when a fall of temperature con tracts its walls and expelling it when the walls expend through heat. The moisture introduced with the air is deposited in the cavities and may produce serious damage through rust. Meat In Burma. In Burma, India, all meat must be eaten on the day it is killed. This is due to the very small num ber of refrigerators in use and to the small supply of ice. As there are no meat markets, like those one is accustomed to sec in our cities and towns, the meat, fish and fowl are sold at a bazaar or booth, where the fowls are sold alive, to be killed when needed. Machine made ice is the only kind obtainable there and is sold only in small quantities. Jack and Jill. Jack and Jill had mode their trip up and down the hill, with the re sult already recorded in the juvenile chronicles of the day. Presently Jack sat np and rubbed his cracked crown. “How did I get this fearful head?” he groaned. “Oh, nothing stronger than a pail of water,” soothingly answered Jill. Then Jack tumbled again.—Chi cago Tribune. When Lightning Strikes a Tree. \Vhen a tree is struck by light ning it explodes like overcharged boilers. The flame of the lightning does not burn it up, nor does the electric flash split it like an ax. The “bolt” flows throughout into all the damp interstices of the trunk and into the hollows under its bark. All the moisture at once is turned into steam, which, by its immediate ex plosion, ripe open the tree. $495 METZ “22” ROADSTERF $495 - ----- - ---------------------------------- I ----------------------------------------------- 1912 Roadster Model, Ceeptatly Eqeipped, ei Shews, $495 M otor: 4 cylinder, w a ter cooled , valves, push rod* end springs, entirely en c losed , I S p e e d : 6 to 6 0 m iles per heur en high gear.
