That death-dealing device, the live wire was in evidence in Lower Queen street, Auckland a few days ago. An inward-bound Ponsonby car had passed to within a short distance of the extreme end of the tramline when an overhead wire of 500 voltage came down, accompanied by an explosion and a penetrating flash of bright yellow light. The roadway soon became devoid ot pedes- ( trians who were crossing the thorough- ■ fare at the time, and vehicular traffic moved away to a safe distance, several. horses which had taken fright having to be reined in. Very quickly a crowd of several hundred, the majority men, lined the sidewalk. After a soung lady had stooped out from the sidewalk and got to within several feet of it, -giving the bystanders a severe shock, oincials of the serdce stood guard over the wire. •It lay on the ground until a rubber- | gloved officer handled it, and later the ' staff of the motor vehicle used an the ! work of attending to the overhead gear, • the latter workino- without' gloves, the ■ wooden floor of the pedestal acting as non-conductor. There were several passengers in the iram at the t:me of the accident, but no one was. injured, the wire failing shora of the vehicle. WHAT IS A CALF WORTH?
