A signal example of the efficiency of 
Manchester’s Board of Health was the 
instant attention and care given the Ram- 
sey child aboard the barge ‘‘Bluster,’’ 
last Monday. 
When Dr. R. T. Glendenning, the 
attending physician, reported the case, 
Dr. G. W. Blaisdell of the Board of 
Health made an immediate investigation. 
The symptoms of the disease were puz- 
zling—at times it seemed tobe small pox, 
again incipient diphtheria, and still again 
the first stages of a much milder malaly 
such as chicken pox. The board, how- 
ever took no -chances—they at once 
placed the patient in quarantine and with- 
drew from school nearly a dozen chil- 
dren with whom the afflicted child had 
played. Later inspection by state ex- 
perts and by Dr. Thomas Shea of the 
Boston contagious hospital an authority 
on contagious diseases, proved’ that the 
child’s ailment was neither ‘small pox, 
diphtheria or chicken pox, but ‘a’ disease 
of hereditary origin.

The fact that the ailment proved to be 
harmless does not detract from the good 
services of the health board in spending 
a considerable sum for an absolute diag- 
nosis of the case and in withdrawing the 
children from school. 
Had the disease really been small pox, 
the prompt action of the board of health 
would probably have saved several lives 
and would have surely prevented an epi- 
demic. 
A copy of the Charlestown Enterprize 
of May 8 arrived at our desk a few days 
ago and a perusal of its contents afforded 
us a pleasant half-hour, for the last num- 
ber of the Enterprize wasa “‘ 25th anni- 
versary number.’’ Its 20 7-column pages 
were brimming over with ‘‘ write-ups’’ 
of the Charlestown district and its busi- 
ness firms and industries, most artistical- 
ly lighted up with half-tone reproductions 
of scenes and photographs of its leading 
men. ‘The Enterprize was established in 
1882 and was incorporated two years 
later. 
James Sweinhart of New York City is 
to be assistant editor of the NorrtH 
SHORE BREEZE this summer, and will 
take up the work next week. Mr. 
Sweinhart is a young man, and was form- 
erly of the reportorial staff of the New 
York Sun. More. recently he has been 
with the Boston Herald. He has been 
taking a special course at Harvard the 
past year in connection with his work, 
and intends to continue his studies at 
Harvard next fall. 
** Sunpay baseball for school boys is 
now granted by the. New York City 
Board of Education, which has given 
permission to the ‘ Public Schools Athle- 
tic League’ to use the athletic fields on 
Sundays, the league taking charge of the 
field as on week days, and insuring or- 
der. ‘The hours are between l-and 6 in 
the afternoon.’’ 
It is time to call home the missionaries. 
Here’s a fit subject for their efforts! 
Look Out for Autos and Spraying Ma- 
chines on Woods Roads, 
Residents along the Shore are receiv- 
ing a notice from Colonel William D. 
Sohier for the committee in charge of 
the moth work in the forests, warning 
them that spraying machines and automo- 
biles are likely to be encountered in the 
forest roads. 
The notice is as follows: ‘* The 
spraying of the forests to preserve them 
from being destroyed by gypsy moths 
will start in a day or two and continue 
for about six weeks. There will be 
eight or nine power spraying machines at 
work in various places. ‘They will nec- 
essarily have to go through the wood 
roads, and we shall endeavor as far as 
possible to post notices when they are 
working on the roads themselves. It 
will also be necessary in connection with © 
this work to have some of the superin- — 
tendents go through the wood roads in 
automobiles while the work is going on, 
as there is no other possible way of di- 
recting the work. ‘These automobiles 
will be plainly marked by a proper flag 
and will use the roads as little as possi- 
ble. [am sending this notice so that 
people will not be taken by surprise if 
they meet a spraying machine or an oc- 
casional automobile on these roads dur- 
ing the spraying season.’’ 
Big Fruit Steamer Slipped on and off 
Rocks at Magnolia. 
After passing through a heavy fog that 
extended for nearly 1300 miles, the Nor- 
wegian steamship Ida Cuneo, laden with 
fruit and bound from Sania, Cuba, for 
Boston, struck on the rocks a little west 
of Norman’s Woe, of the Magnolia ~ 
Shore, early Monday morning. A mo- 
ment after the crash, however, the ves- 
sel slipped off into deep water and after 
some difficulty in getting away, proceeded 
to Boston, where she is now in dry dock. 
After leaving San Salvador, the fog 
settled so densely that the lookouts could 
not see more than ten feet ahead. Capt. 
Iverson was on the bridge for 20 hours 
at a stretch. ‘It was the vessel’s first trip 
to Boston and no one on board knew the 
steamship’s position until early Monday 
morning when the fog suddenly lifted. 
At that moment the vessel was heading 
directly for the breakers and a fishing 
schooner was in its path. 
The Cuneo was stopped at once, but 
it was too late. The crew made des- 
perate efforts to thread the vessel out 
through the maze of hidden bowlders, 
but the current suddenly caught the craft 
and swung her round hard against one 
of the ledges. The life-boats had al- 
ready been prepared when the vessel 
lurched, slipped back into the water and 
slowly drifted away from the rock. 
Soon after she got away, she was picked 
up by a pilot and safely guided to Boston. 
The Cuneo is 216 feet long and of 
1044 tons gross. She was built less than 
two years ago and is owned in Norway.
