MUSIC ON BRIDGEs,

Is il true that every house, mill or bridge
has keynote, and that bands of music are
strictly forbidden playing on all the great
bridges OF the world? Is it true that the
key upon which the bridge is tensioned
may be struck by band aud begin Sc
ries OF vibrations which will endanger the
structure, III it nc will not throw IL down?
II such is the truth, please give MS the rea-
sons for it. aa
Answer. No. Bands of music arc for
bldden to play on many Of tile large bridges.
There are, doubtless, two reasons for this.
First, the one alluded to above. A con
slant succession Of s,und-waves, especially
such as come from the playing Of good
band, will excite the wires to vibration.
At first the vibrations are very slight, but
they will increase as the sound waves COZ
tinue to come. This is known in acoustics
as sympathetic vibration. To what extent
this effects bridges we are unable TO say.
The principal reason why bands are no,
allowed TO play while crossing bridges, the
suspension bridge at Niagara for example.
is that II followed by soldiers or procession
OF any kind, they will keep step with the
music, and this regular step Of crowd OF
company OF soldiers would cause the wires
to vibrate. AT the Suspension bridges mil
itary companies are not allowed to march
across In regular step, but must break
ranks. The regular trotting gait Of q large
dog across . large bridge is moro danger
GUS TO the bridge than . heavily loadet
wagon drawn by team Of horses.

THE OGDEN 4 PORTLAND ROAD.
A PARTY STARTING OUT FOR THE FINAL
++# SURVEY.
Omaha Herald, 18th.

A party Of thirty surveyors is intending
to start out from this city to-day, to make
the fisal survey of tue line of the Ogden 81
Portland Railroad, the preliminary survey
OF which was finished some time ago.
The road ia to be built as branch Of the
Union Pacific and will be practically the
main line of the Utah & Northern, the
whole distance traversed being about 600
miles.
Starting from the Utah Il Northern at
Port Neuf station, 14S miles above Ogden
en- the U. & N. the Portland road taps first
the Snake and Salmon river regions, with
their rich mining districts. About 400 miles
Of mining couHrry lie along the Snake river
and the road will traverse 200 Of this. Next
it taps the Wood River district, the south
ern end Of the Salmon river country. The
ores are smelling ores and will make great
deal Of shipping for the road. The line
will open up the whole Salmon river cour-
try, bringing all within 150 miles Of tie
road, which is considered quite near for n
mining country. The Wood river district
will not lie over so miles away. The road
crosses wide acres of grazing and agricul-
tural lands alternating with mountain ran
ges in its lower territory. Beyond Wood
river it penetrates All almost continuous
mineral belt, passing over mines we'll
known, and stretching up 20 Boise City. to
or near Atlanta, and touching Silver City
all mining districts that have yielded $685.
0O0 900 up to this year. In the neighbor-
hood of Boise it crosses over some OF tho
most valuable agricultural lands In Idaho.
In eastern Oregon it runs through rough
country, principally abounding in fine tim
ber and mining wealth. EH ri .
On reaching Portland 10 has practically
seaport terminus, and connects with OCEAN
steamers.
! Probably not over 10 or 100 miles OF the
road will be built this season, which will
carry 1t into the Salmon river region.

Why Wool Should Advance.

The United States Economist, Of re-
cent date, gives the following reasons why
wool should advance ....... "'.
/. No wool in the West. ., 4" .
2. Western manufacturers buying in
Eastern markets. -.a a.r
3. Stock Of fleece lighter in the market
than usual. ..s a.. Il
A. Woods held by strong holders. No
consigned wool Of any amount to force of
il sellers get scarce. 1n u ... -au
5. The feeling in general that wool must
advance. a. Er.na.. .-.. .... sa. .tf a
6. More wool has been sold to manufac-
turers than is usual IN December.
Z. Manufacturers will be obliged to en-
ter the market soon. 70 agI,s Haa.
8. East India and Mediterranean wools
will not prove satisfactory for general use,
as clothing woods and fseces will be more
inquired for as the general stock, except
English woods. @ an.Gs m .au",
o. English feeces are advancing rapidly,
and will soon be too high to export.
10. The bulk Of importations of Austria
liam and South American fine woods are
already placed to manufacturers who can
carry years supply if necessary. and but
little will come on the market. p fa
IL. Australian and South American
woods are too fine for general demand, and
X and above fleeces must be used for many
styles of goods. t
10. The prospects are that the English
auctions in February will develop smart
advance in pricee for colonial wools, and
put stop to any further importations OF
fine wools. nlaL
13. The demand for WOODEN goods exceeds
the supply. tn
IA. Manufacturers are getting an advance
on goods with every contract.
10. The country is prosperous in every
branch, wool and wooden goods are lower
than other raw and unmanufactured pro-
ducts, and the trade IN wool and woolens
has been legitimate in every particular, and
almost devoid Of speculation.

And cheerful and confident smile, ...
At the little square box with the ''gem fifteen, "

And then he remarked, ats simple, l swar,

And bis hands he ran through his hair,

He'd smash his dash, dash, dashed skull

And with bullet he bored out his brains.

A curious habit of EBglish ladies at the

The fair English women, 30 says the Gallo

WAS LINCOLN A FREE MASON
Will you please inform ma whether or
not Abraham Lincoln was Free Mason?
Ansuer.-we have never heard that
Abraham Lincoln was Free Mason nor
do any Of his family know that he was in
any way connected with that fraternity.
Shortly after his death they received very
large number Of resolutions from Masonic
bodies, principally from France. Consider
able inquiry was made at the time to ascer-
tain If Mr.. Lincoln really was a Mason or
not, but it could never be ascertained that
he was. 1t is supposed that he was not, but
that the resolutions were sent In conse-
queuce of some newspaper stating that he
was Free Mason.

the Early Breakfast.
Bucks Brilliant is another of our
leading Stoves. 1t is truly the old reti-
able in the stove business, yet it has
many of the latest improvements and

ly ornament your room but will always
turn you out a well-cooKed dinner.
