A curious freak of Nature ha® happened in. an island of about a hundred acres in Puget Sound,_ the inlet of the Pacific Ocean on which the American port of Seattle stands. The island is densely wooded with cedars, alders, andi fire, but quite quickly all the trees have died, and the island is deserted by its bird life. It has nover been inhabited by men. Observers are’puzzled to finely reasons for this sudden death of an island that recently abounded with life. One view is that the growth of vegetation has completely exhausted the soil, and another is that it has become saturated with brine from below. Tor Influenza take Woods’s Great Peppertaint Cure.—tAdvt.3
