AS appropriate to the day we reprint the
following extracts from Pastor Loses
article headed 1734-1684 and published in
this paper on the 3rd of October last
year.
"In the archives of st. Thomas we find
an order of Government dated 18th August
1884 (Which was a Tuesday, to the Danish
Pastor Holman, that he will have to offer
up prayers for the establishment in st.
CrOix "that is to begin next week". And
while it is certain enough, that the inteil-
ton of starting the colonization IN that
week was not carried out, it appears to be
equally certain that Government, III strict
obedience to orders from home, did not
delay the occupation as long as to the date
given by Knox, for i'll our own archives in
st. Croix is found an official statement,
giving even some details of the actual
occupation of the Island on tho 9th Septbr.
1874 (a Monday, Oh which day the Danish
Flag was for the first time hoisted on the
Island, most likely on New Fort Point.
1t is worth while noticing that this is not
an order of something that was to be done
on that day, but a report OF what had
already been done and accomplished. The
Government has evidently meant to do the
thing III the week after the 18th August;
but was probably prevented by unforeseen
circumstances, Of which many of several
kinds (even if it were only wind and
weather) might easily delay it for a few
days, all the more, as many persons,
officials, planters, soldiers, slaves sc. were
to join the expedition. y n n n n n

The Worlds Largest Organ.

A recent number of the English Ne
chdRic reports the completion of what
is said to be the largest organ in the
world. It was built by Walcker, of
Ludwigsburg, and has been placed I'm
the cathedral church of Riga. This
colossal instrument measures 30 feet i'm
width, 80 feet from back TO front, and
is 65 feet high. It contains no less than
6S26 pipes, distributed among IA sound
ing stops. Most of the pipes are con-
structed of metal, but many are OF
wood, especially the larger ones. They
are of all shapes and sizes, from the
giant tube of thirty-two feet to The tiny
whistle of an inch. Almost every va
riety of tone ana pitch can be produced
by this "king of Instruments the
trumpet and the trombone, the fiddle
and the flute, and many other instru-
ments are all represented. Human
power is not called upon to supply the
capacious lungs OF this musical giant,
the bellows-feederS being worked by
means of water engine of four h0rs
power. In glancing over the list OF
stops some fine-sounding names occur,
and if the sounds which they yield are
as beautiful as their names would sug-
gest it will be readily admitted that the
instrument is capable OF producing
heavenly music. Among such names
are vox, angelica, harmonic, @thrica,
voix, celeste, etc. lt il open 20 ques-
tion, however, whether the above il
really the largest organ in the world,
and it certainly is not il we take the to-
tai number of pipes as a standard OF
comparison. Our own Albert hall or
gan contains 742s pipes Faud III stops,
not to mention the Roosevelt organ i'm
Garden City, N. Y, with 7031 pipes
and lis sounding stops and perhaps
one or two others might be mentioned
as containing more pipes, though few
or stops.
