A poem recounts Noah building an ark to save animals and family from a great flood. A faithful dog helps herd creatures but ends up standing partly in and out as rain drenches the scene. The tale ends with the dog’s nose forever cold from the storm.
A Detroit Prep Press item recounts a streetcar encounter with a Persian man known for constant smiles and good humor. A Croghan Street resident imitates the act, provoking a tense scene and a warning from a passerby. A second tale notes a fatal accident in Seaton Village where a pistol discharged during a child’s play, killing a four year old and injuring a nine year old.
A Philadelphia Academy of Sciences report notes a cucumber harboring a tape worm. A specimen showed ovaries with yellow eggs at the anterior end of a segment, suggesting possible infection if eaten. The piece warns cucumber consumption may carry parasite risk.
