From our correspondent at Sault Ste.
Marie, We learn that man named Jos
Roberts met terrible death on the 2nd
iEst., by being taken over the rapids. 1t
seems that Mr.. Roberts borrowed a boat
of the watchman at the upper end of the
canal to take little sail. He started ap-
parently across the river to the Canada
side. When about halt way over he found
that he was being drawn into the rapids.
He exerted himself to the utmost to row
out but his efforts were unavailing, and
he was carried over. On his way down
he seemed to struggle manfully for his
life. and was carried most OF the way
down all right, but as the boat went over
what is known as the ''big shule" he was
thrown out ard of course Immediately
drowned. Some Indians fishing saw the
catastrophe and tired to save him but
failed. His body had not at last accounts
been recovered. Mr.. Roberts Was resi-
dent of Detroit and plasterer. He was
1T the Sault plastering the new court
house, III company with his son. He was
very superior workman, and was one of
the firm who had the contract for plas-
tering the state house at Lansing. He
was dissipated and had been drinking
heavily Tor some days previous to his
death. so much that his son had notified
the saloon keepers not to sell him liquor.
He had first been refused at one place
when he started for the boat, it is sup
posed by Some to go to Canada to secure
liquor there. In the morning of the day
he was drowned the son had commenced
prosecution against one of the saloons
Tor selling him liquor. AT one time Mr..
Roberts was wealthy but probably liquor
has clused him to die poor. He leaves a
wife and several children to mourn his
terrible death.

The Phonograph.

A fair attendance greeted the first APP
pear lnce of Prof. Elison's phonograph,
or talking machine, at the town hall last
night. The machine is very small and
apparently simple i'm construction, The
principle upon which it operates is well
known i'm the law of acoustics, The deli
cate mechanism of the machine is acted
upon by the sound waves in the air, the
same Witch acts upon the ear which
causes hearing. These waves transmit
movement to a needle, which i'm turn
cause induntations i'm sheet of tin foil
which surrounds cylinder. These iu-
dentatiOn are greater or less as the vol
ume Of sound is greater or less or the
tOne different. This record upon the tin
foil can be kept amy length of time and
reproduced at any time and as often as
desired by turning the machine back and
letting the needle pass over the indented
surface of the tin foil. This produces the
same movement of the diaphragm as was
caused By the original speaker and thus
the words are reproduced. The tone of
the machine is somewhat metallic, but the
experiments last night showed that the
machine would produce any word Or
sentence spoken in it. What uses the
machine will be put TO in the future can
now only be conjecturrd. 1t is well
worth visit. 1t will he on exhibition
this afternoon and evening. when all
who have not seen the machine can have
all opportunity of doing so.

A Measure to Prevent the Spread OF
Socialism.

BERLIN, June 6.
A bulletin announces the condition OF
the Emperor as satisfactory.
Gen. Grant, wife and son are expected
here on tie 26th inst.
Although the exaggerated reports of the
critical condition Of the Eemperor were
exposed, and the public warned against
them, they were 50 persistently adhered to
by the quasi Government organs as to ere
ate a suspicion that they were encouraged,
and c~ountenanced by the authorities. for
the purpose Of manufacturing popular sem
timent in favor of repressive measures.
The recent defeat of the Government
a~nti-Socialist bill in the Reichstag, was a
source OF great chagrin to the Court and
Cabinet, and they will be glad to take adj
vantage of the new situation created by
| Nobeling's crime to reverse it. 1t is expect
ed that an extraordinary session Of Parlia-
mont will be convened to discuss legisla-
tive measures for the repression of the
present dangerous agitation.
The Prussian cabinet is also considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting a special
measure to prevent a spread of Socialism.
