NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Thursday evening the local troop 
committee of the boy scouts met and 
examined members of the troop for 
advancement in scout craft. ‘The 
boys are beginning to prepare for 
their summer camp, which is to be at 
Rowley on an island. 
30y scouts and their officers and 
commutteemen were the most numer- 
ous factor in the opening of the new 
Wenham rifle range last Saturday. 
Excellent scores were made by some 
of them. Out of a maximum of 125, 
Geo. Cummings shot 116, John Can- 
non 111, and Elwyn Cannon 106. F. 
M. sees and A. Wesley Dodge tied 
at 120. The Essex County Rifle club, 
which Ht built the range, includes a 
number of wealthy men who are 
deeply interested in the promotion of 
rifle practice. The desire is to enlist 
all possible men between the ages of 
16 and 64. Fees are placed sufficient- 
ly low to suit all pocket books. Ser- 
geant Flowers of the 30th regular U. 
S. infantry has been engaged for 
three months as instructor, and will 
reside in Wenham. Riflemen qualify 
by making 80 out of a possible hun- 
dred on the indoor range. Within a 
few weeks those qualified indoors 
will be taken to Wakefield and given 
a chance to win the regulation qualifi- 
cation decorations of the National 
Rifle association as marksmen, sharp- 
shooters or experts, at ranges from

THEATRE, 
b 
EMPIRE SALEM. 
“Fine Feathers” will be the offer- 
ing at the Empire theatre, next week, 
a play full of interesting situations 
and dramatic moments. The plot 
hinges around’a young chemist and 
his wife, who live in a flat in New 
York, earning just enough to be com- 
fortable in a quiet way. The wife 
envies every woman about her and 
one day appropriates the house money 
to buy a wonderful hat. When the 
loss is discovered she upbraids her 
husband for not earning enough to 
give her the pretty things which 
other women are able to have. Short- 
ly afterwards the opportunity to 
make a large sum of money occurs, 
but is passed by because of a dream 
which furnishes action for the plot. 
The Sunday sacred concerts are 
drawing larger crowds every week 
and the bill of vaudeville and moving 
pictures is the best and cleanest to be 
found on the circuit.
