CLARA IVILSON'S I'UPILS TO GIVE I'IANO RECITAL EVest Vancouver has been much in the foreground of mu- sical matters for the past few weeks.

Fraser of the Framar 5Iontessori School on Saturday afternoon was a very pretty and successful af- fair. The house and grounds at 18th and Esquimalt formed an ideal setting for the party. The children, dressed as butterflies, bees and rabbits, first went through a programme of flower songs and choruses on the high ground in front of the house, and then, with Nay Queen Do- reen Forster and her attendants came down the flight of stone steps to the amphitheatred lawn, where they danced round the Maypole arrayed with the school colors which had been set up there. Jean Simpson also danced the Irish jig, and three folk dances were given by the young artists on the lawn. The children, following their display, sat down to a dainty re- past at a table centred with a miniature EIap~ole, while the large number of parents and friends present were served af- ternoon tea on the lawn. The table was centred with ane- mones and tulips, and Mrs. E. J. Pearce and Nrs. H. B. Gray poured tea. The seIviteurs were Mrs. C. B. Greenwood and Mrs. G. E. Bayfield. A IlIESSAGE VIA FRASER RIVER C. L. Hilborn, the local build- er, received a message from his sister in Quesnel this week which was despatched and re- ceived in a most unique manner. Ice was breaking on the Fraser River near Quesnel on 28th of March last, and his sister, who is living there, decided to send him a message, which she put in a bottle and then, after seal- ing it, placed on a moving cake of ice. On 18th May, less than two months after, the bottle was picked up by a fisherman at Fraser 5lills, jgst outside New ~Vestminster, and the message relayed to ~AIr. Hilborn in SVest Vancouver. This means of com- munication is almost as rapid as it was in the old pioneer days.

Findley, both of Vancouver, were each fined $20 in the West Vancou- ver police court for driving to the common danger. J. A. Smith and four other Dundarave residents wrote to the manager of the municipal transportation system asking that a bus be put on to connect with the 6 a.m. ferry.

Telephone Co. stretches between these two points, and it is understood that these signboard posts are for the information of ships going in and out of Vancouver harbor to prevent them dropping their anchors in the vicinity and dis- turbing the cable.
