TRAPPED IN A TUNNEL.—A house being moved to a new site in Portland, Oregon, is firmly wedged in a road tunnel. According to the official measurements of the tunnel, there should have been just sufficient clearance for the house to pass through, but allowance had not been made for the raising of the road level by the addition of several layers of paving. After the air had been let out of the trailer's tyres, the building was eased through.
