The short circuiting of the wires in
the city fire alarm system about noon
today caused the blowing of the Art
whistle, but, needless to say, there was
no call for the services of the de
partment. It is reported that a
slight blaze occurred In a cabin on
Second avenue W’hich was caused by
the blowing down of the smoke stack
but the fire was extinguished with
out any damage being done. In this
connection it may be well to remind
householders to give their smoke
flues a looking over as the wind has
doubtless Jarred many flues from
their fastenings thus offering a fire
menace which can be avoided by a
little attention.
The big south wind has raised no
end of disturbance with stove plpea
and telephone wires and has also
driven the ice up on the beach to a
considerable height. In front of Bar
