Electrical devices include pretty 
much everything that man needs 
here below. Yet scarcely the day 
passes without another invention 
coming to light. One is afraid to 
enumerate the list, which stretches 
into a magic land, for fear of the 
scoffer who will cry that is quite 
old! We have used it for ages and 
ages. So be it. 
Would that some of our old Col- 
onial sires could arise from their 
graves in Manchester and see some 
of the devices which now are in ey- 
ery day use in the old town which 
they founded. Why, here is a firm 
in Manchester letting out for the 
day a new electric vacuum cleaner 
which will greatly relieve the many 
burdens of the house-wife when 
spring cleaning comes around. Aside 
that this machine may be operated 
from the charge for hiring, it is said Nets $4.39 ; Salisbury, $4.25; 
Editor and Proprietor. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
We note by the papers that the 
town of Wenham is $746.49 short in 
its taxes. Frederick P. Stanton, 
who, after ten years of service, re- 
signed his position last year, claims 
that it is not fair to charge this de- 
ficit to him, until the towns gets the 
services of an expert accountant to 
20 over his books. 
Manchester Stands High. 
In a special report to the Legis- 
lature, the state board of education 
have figures showing the school ex- 
pense for each pupil, the ratio of tax- 
ation and valuation and the average 
attendance, all of which throw con- 
siderable light upon the situation in 
Manchester. Manchester, it will be 
seen, stands at the head of the list 
in the towns of Essex county as to 
the amount of money spent per pu- 
pil. But on the other hand, she 
stands next to the last upon the lst 
as to the amount of the ratio of tax- 
ation for school purposes. 
The per capita school expense in 
Essex county is as follows: Man- 
chester, $48.54; Nahant, $46.71; 
Wenham, $38.87; Beverly, $36.59; 
Lawrence, $34.01; Swampscott, 
$33.28; Hamilton, $30.92; North An- 
dover, $30.24; Lynn, $29.95; Haver-

Marblehead, $27.42; Danvers, 
$26.74; Newbury, $25.74; Topsfield, 
$25.39; Middleton, $24.18; New- 
buryport, $23.70; Gloucester, $23.27 ;

tion and valuation, so far as they 
affect Essex county, are as follows,

Danvers, $6.98; Saugus, $6.63;
