The annual report of the superintend.
ent Of the city's Fire and Police Telephone
and Alarm Service, Mr.. Miles, affords an
interesting chapter in the city's history.
In a resume Of the operations aud pro-
gress of twenty years lie shows how within
that period tho telegraph lines first came
into use, then how the telephone supplant-
cd them, and finally, in the march of i'm
provement, how the underground conduit

II heard phenomenal bass voice a
day or two SINCE" said a local musician
to the writer. at was in the wee sma'
hours of the morning, and was return
ing home from q dance. | turned into
Court Street from Washington, when
my attention was attracted by q man
singing, apparently at the further end
of fremont Row. 1t was rich, reso-
nant bass voice, and the man was sing
ing in the upper register. l can tell the
pitch of tones by ear, and once during
his caroling he reached high f, and no
strain was apparent in the tone. 1t
rolled out strong and easy, as if Whit
ney were singing. Then the melody
progressed downward, until to my as
constituent he was sounding low E,and
| heard him with perfect distinctness.
He must have been two hundred yards
away. As we approached he stopped
singing. | saw that he was n negro.
He strolled leisurely along, hands in
pockets, and seemed to be some laborer
either going to or returning from work.
"When | passed him he commenced
TO sing again, and | stood at the en-
trance to Pemberton Square listening
until he turned into Washington Street.
AT that distance his voice was distinct
and powerful on low +. and he was APP
parently far from the limit to his range.
Such volume of tone ! never heard
equaled, even by Scaria, unless the
morning air and quiet streets are ex-
ceedingly deceptive. "-B0Ston Globe.
