Change of Address. 
Subscribers who are leaving the 
shore will confer a great favor upon 
the proprietors of the Breeze tf they 
well send in their winter address, either 
to our Manchester or to our Beverly 
office, as soon as they know when they 
are to leave. 
This will greatly factlitate matters, 
and will insure a prompt continuation 
of the paper at your new address. 
A touch of fall. 
The leaves are beginning to turn, 
and the beautiful gold and red and 
brown mingled with the green gives 
to the wooded drives, always so beau- 
tiful here, an added splendor. 
Never-were the beauty spots on the 
North Shore more beautiful than now. 
A carriage drive, an automobile trip 
or a trolley touralong the North Shore 
will reveal more beauties to the lover 
of nature than can be found in any 
other section of New England. 
The exodus has begun, and the 
summer residents are moving out 
slowly but surely. It has been a 
delightful season on the shore, and 
the North Shore has added to its 
already wide reputation as the ideal 
summer resort in the country. 
It is now ‘between seasons,’’ as 
they say. The summer -gaiety is 
slowly fading and the local season has 
hardly begun. For awhile comes rest 
and quiet, until the beginning of the 
regular fall and winter amusements, 
entertainments, parties and _ social 
events in general. 
They say that business is quiet now. 
Yes, so itis. The people are resting 
and waiting for the fall trade. They 
are making up their minds about what 
they are going to do this fall and 
winter, what style of hat they will 
wear, what sort of suit or coat, what 
changes they will make in their house 
furnishings. They are not buying 
now, but are making up their minds 
where they will buy. Now is the time 
to tell them what to buy and where to 
buy it. An advertisement in the 
columns of the Breeze will tell a 
great many just where they can get 
what they want and at the right prices. 
Our readers are among the best people 
on the North Shore. Our advertisers 
are only reliable houses, whom we can 
recommend to our readers. 
Whisperings, 
The following clipping was handed 
me the other day, in reference to our 
Singing Beach at Manchester, evi- 
dently taken from some children’s 
magazine. It is interesting from the 
fact that it shows how rare are the 
beaches in the world where the sand 
possesses that peculiar property which 
causes them to sing when stirred : 
“This will interest my children who 
are at the seashore this summer: 
‘“« There are few beaches in the world 
on which are found ‘ singing sands,’ so 
called because of a prolonged musical 
sound heard when walking through the 
sand or stirring it with a stick. One 
of the best known beaches*where the 
phenomenon occurs is at Manchester, 
about 25 miles from Boston. Another 
place is on one of the Hebrides islands. 
Some of the sands from there were 
sent to an American scientist last year 
for examination. One portion was 
sealed in bottles and another sent in 
bags. The latter lost their peculiar 
properties, but the former sang sweetly 
on being stirred. No satisfactory cause 
for the curious sound has yet been 
discovered. One peculiarity of these 
musical beaches is that they occur in 
comparatively small patches, and the 
sound is not always of uniform loud- 
ness. Itis said that along the shore 
of the Caribbean Sea there is a place 
where a disturbance of the sands makes 
a noise like the barking of a dog.”

I hear that some enterprising Bev- 
erly Farms youths. have discovered a 
new use to which the automobile may 
be put, thereby giving a great deal of 
amusement to the occupants otf the 
car. 
The idea is to take into the tonneau 
of the car a good load of apples, then 
as they go sailing down the street at 
a good speed make targets of chance 
passers-by on the road. 
' The game was tried the other day, 
I hear, by a party of three and afforded 
them a great deal of amusement as 
they went down the road from Beverly 
to Manchester. 
However, the victims did not appre- 
ciate the joke, and one of them took 
the number of the auto. It is said 
that the boys’ parents have been noti- 
fied, and that as a result the thing will 
not happen again.

I heard a good poker story the other 
day from a gentleman who had just 
returned from the West. I think it 
will bear repeating. 
A couple of men were sitting on the 
steps in front of one of the leading 
banks of San Francisco. early one 
morning, a short time ago. When 
the cashier arrived, both men got up 
and started to enter the bank with 
him. Upon being asked if they wished 
to make a deposit, one of them 
answered in the negative, but said 
that he wanted, instead, to negotiate 
a loan. Upon being asked for collat- 
eral, or security of some sort, he 
showed to the cashier his hand, in 
which were five cards consisting of 
four aces and a king, with the remark 
that he was in alittle game where 
straights and flushes were barred, and 
that he wanted enough to see him 
through. 
The cashier, being no sport, was 
in the act of turning him down, when 
the president of the bank arrived, and 
upon hearing the story immediately 
procured a bag of gold and went with 
the stranger across the street. He 
soon returned with his bag of gold 
somewhat more bulky, and upon en- 
tering the bank remarked tothe cashier 
that he might credit the interest ac- 
count with $500. Then turning to 
the stranger, told him that any time 
he had similar collateral to offer, the 
entire resources of the bank were at 
his command.

Editor Marshall of the Manchester 
Cricket, I should judge, looks upon 
married life as a joke. At least it 
would seem so from the fact that he 
put an item in his joke column last 
week about my friend Lodge of the 
BREEZE getting married. Now Iam 
a married man, but I’ve never had the 
feeling that married life-ewas much of 
a joke. And Lodge told me this 
morning, from what little he had seen 
of it, he thought it was more of a 
‘stern reality’ than a joke.
