Show Postcard Six Years on the Way. A Selkirk man has just obtained possession of a postcard which was posted by a party in Selkirk to a friend in Galashiels, six miles distant, on January 6, 1904. It was delivered at its destination quite recently, having taken more than six years to accomplish the journey jour-ney of six miles, or at the rate of a mile a year. From indistinct postmarks post-marks on the card it is gathered that It has been In Africa and India at any rate, but judging from the tear and wear it must have made an even longer journey.
