SATURDAY, AUG. 17, 1907. 
Though no accidents have occurred 
on the North Shore of late through 
the carelessness of automobile drivers, 
there have been some narrow escapes 
at certain street corners. There are 
a number of sharp corners along the 
North Shore where a car coming 
down one street cannot be seen very 
well by a person approaching from an- 
other direction, and the danger of col- 
lision is great unless some warning of 
approach is given. Chauffeurs should 
be more careful in this respect and 
should sound their horns when ap- 
proaching these curves and thus avoid 
all possibility of accident. The lack 
of accidents in the past has often- 
times been due more to good luck 
than to any exercise of care, and we 
cannot depend on luck always. 
In many cities and towns the citi- 
zens are erecting monuments or tab- 
lets to commemorate some great 
event in the history of the town or 
city, orto perpetuate the memory of 
some person prominent in town affairs 
or local history. And today we read 
of many such tablets or monuments 
being erected in memory of some 
ancient settlement of the town or 
city. In this connection we would 
again refer to the matter of a bowlder 
in memory of the Indian chief, Mas- 
conomo, from the land where Man- 
chester now is, was purchased, and 
whose relations with the early white 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
settler were of the most friendly and 
amicable kind. Americans are be- 
ginning to realize that they owe a 
debt to the ancient red men who gave 
up their lands to the white settler for 
a trifle, and who, instead of waging" 
war against them, met them on a 
friendly footing as did the Indian- 
chief Masconomo. A committee of 
Manchester citizens are now working 
on the matter. 
The latest move made in an effort 
to either quiet or do away with the 
siren whistle on Baker’s Island is the 
securing of Hon. Guy Currier, the 
well known Boston attorney, to labor 
with the government officials and see 
if the signal cannot be abolished and 
something which will serve the mari- 
ners just as well and at the same time 
not be such a discomfort to residents 
along this section, be substituted. 
This whistle is really a blemish on 
the hitherto very quiet and attractive 
community. It is getting past the 
stage of a joke, and is a serious ques- 
tion Sucha whistle placed in some 
point, far off shore, in some isolated 
part of the coast would be a blessing, 
but to have such a whistle on Baker’s 
Island, just a few miles off the North 
Shore, with its deep, penetrating 
tones heard from Gloucester to 
Marblehead, a strip of coast surpass- 
ing any other similar strip of coast- 
line in the country, probably, both as 
regards the number of summer vis- 
itors who come here from all over the 
country, and in the wealth repre- 
sented, it is really a menace. In the 
end, if allowed to remain as it now is, 
the effect will tell on the cities of 
Beverly and Gloucester and the town 
of Manchester. 
The Rose and the Lily 
A red rose and a lily 
Bloomed in a garden rare, 
While other flowers 
Raised lowly heads, 
These two held high 
Their blossoms fair. 
The lily said, 
‘*] neither toil or spin.”’ 
The rose replied, 
**T am the choice 
Of kings.”’ 
The lily murmured, 
‘*My robes are 
Emblems of purity 
Everywhere.’ 
The rose sighed forth, 
“‘T am love with a crimson heart, 
Cupid’s signal, ere he sends his dart.”

Mr. S.—That’s a nice way to die, | 
suddenly ; you go to sleep and die in ~ 
the night. 
Mr. H.—I’ll never die that way. 
Mr. S.—Oh, you don’t know, you 
may. . 
Mr. H.—I know I won't; that 
d siren whistle won’t let me sleep 
long enough. 
The new operating system which 
has been introduced by the New 
England Telephone and Telegraph 
company between Manchester, Rock- 
port and Gloucester will be greatly 
appreciated by business men and 
others in these places who have occa- 
sion to talk with parties in the differ- 
ent towns. Under the new system if 
the subscriber will give the exchange — 
and number desired to the operator 
and retain the receiver to his ear 
until the station call has been 
answered or a report given by the 
operator, he will save much time as — 
there will be no transferring to a toll 
operator and waiting a considerable — 
time till Central reports the party 
ready to talk. The new

Oak Bluff, Aug. 18, 1907: “Mrs. 
Roy A. Gilman, who has been staying 
at the New Sea View, and who has 
posed here as a rich widow, was ar- 
rested tonight on a charge of larceny 
from guests of the house. She is also 
said to have secured by theft a gold 
watch from the store of S. E. Bryant, 
which was found upon her. Her 
roommate reports the loss of valuable 
jewelry.” Mrs. Gilman was Miss 
Edith Helena Hinds, formerly em- 
ployed in several families in Man- 
chester. She was married July 1% 
1907. ;
