The central business portion of the town of Norway. Mich., is sinking ioio tne earth, and the moment Is Bear when tha largest buildings of the tewn will probably be engulfed and tha town divided .by a yawning pit. The Aragon mine Is beneath tne menaced district, and all who enter the gtructures do so at the risk of their live. It has been known for some time that the site of the Nelson block, Ttie largest In town, has been . sinking, and now tbe structure may collapse at any moment. The postofflce and city ball are also sinking. Most of tbe other doomed buildings are owned bit the Aragon Mining company. Merchants are at a loss to find new quar ters, and their stock are liable to sudden ' destruction. Postofflce Inspector Means has recommended removal of tbe office. New buildings are planned for .the south side of tbe town. j A Watermelon Hold, , Probably tbe first railroad ever built In the United States principally to haul water. meloD will be a branch line which Aha Burlington Is getting ready to construct la southeast Missouri rhl spring. The. line will tie fifty miles long, and will Tun through a district which Is distinctively" tha home of the watermelon. .Enough melon t said to be produced there to keep one railroad boar during tha Season hauling them. .
