It is to be regretted there is not 
more public spirit in Manchester than 
was evidenced the other night on the 
occasion of the harbor illumination 
and boat parade. While crowds 
turned out to witness the event, few— 
very few—had the interest to go into 
the thing and do their part toward 
making it a success. A water carni- 
val should be one of the events of the 
season at Manchester. Few places 
offer such an opportunity for an event 
of this kind. There was not a light 
of any kind on the town pier at Tuck’s 
Point, even. 
Isn’t there some way of keeping 
street organs out of the centre of the 
town on band concert evenings? 
There has not been an evening thus 
far this summer, when the band was 
playing on the Common in Manches- 
ter, that the pleasure of the occasion 
has not been marred by the appear- 
ance of one or two of these organs. 
If it is not now within the power of 
the police to order them away on 
Wednesday evenings some special pro- 
vision should be made whereby power 
can be given them to act in this 
matter.

Some of your griefs you have cured 
And the sharpest you still have survived ; 
But what torments of pain you endure 
From the evils that never arrived ? 
TWILIGHT ON THE SHORE 
BY S. S. STINSON 
The day is done, and swiftly in its flight 
The sun has kissed the sea a fond fare- 
well. 
Grim shadows mingle with the dusky light 
And swallow up the vagrant sunbeams 
bright 
That linger on the crest of every swell. 
The sea is silent, silent and alone, 
Save for the restless waves, that all the 
ay 
Have kissed the earth’s hard lips, and back- 
ward flown 
In petty anger, now have peevish grown, 
Like children who have tired of their play. 
The waves roll in and break upon the shore. 
Then, with a sullen murmur turn again, 
And rushing seaward with a mighty roar, 
Fly back to Mother Ocean’s breast once 
more, 
And sob their grief in many a plaintive 
Strain. 
A single gull, belated in its flight, 
Cries for its mate in tones of wild despair, 
And does not heed the fast approaching 
night, 
Now plunging through the white spray in 
affright, 
Now circling through the dusky upper air. 
How slow the mantle falls! The sky grows 
gray, 
And ghost-like mists arise from out the 
deep. 
A pregnant pause. The eastern skies betray 
A golden gleam that drives the gloom away. 
Old Ocean calmly lulls herself to sleep. 
Make War on Moths 
If every person, in front of whose 
house stand trees, would make it a 
point to go out every morning, raise 
the burlap around the trees, kill the 
gypsy moth caterpillars and destroy 
cocoons, he would confer a favor on 
the entire community. 
It would take perhaps 10 minutes, 
but every householder ought to have 
10 minutes’ worth of public spirit to 
donate for the next few days. 
Some citizens never bother to assist 
the department in its work, by killing 
the pest on their own trees, or trees 
in front of their estates. Doubtless 
some of these would reply that the 
town is paying men to do this work.

Whiie that is true, these men can- 
not be everywhere at once, and if, as 
before stated, every citizen would 
make it a point to examine the burlaps 
about the trees in front of his house, 
and kill the bugs there, he would be 
doing a public service and incidentally 
would preserve the tree to a great ex- 
tent at least, from the ravages of this 
terrible pest. 
There seems to be a mistaken idea 
about the province of this burlap. The 
strips of burlap are not traps. They 
are simply placed there for the pur- 
pose of providing shelter for the cater- 
pillar during the day The gypsy 
moth caterpillar feeds at night. When 
dawn comes it seeks some dark place. 
Such a place is provided by the bands 
of burlap. The caterpillars quickly 
find it and crawl beneath its folds to 
escape the light. 
Therefore, incidentally the burlap is 
a trap, but it does not hold the cater- 
pillars. It simply assembles them, 
and in order to have a material benefit 
the caterpillars must be killed, or at 
night they will crawl out and go up 
into the tree again to feed during the 
night. Let every family appoint itself 
a committee to kill the caterpillars 
under the burlap on the trees in front 
of the house, and more actual results 
can be accomplished than by an army 
of employees.
