L HeIe are great many people III
Minneapolis who have withheld their
opinion of the Exposition that they
might see it after it was in perfect
running order and then pass Judgment.
These have been the sensible ones. and
they now have an opportunity for
speaking unlimited words of praise,
for certainly never before in the history
OF the ms tuition have there been such
variety of things new, strange and
beautiful to attract the attention of the
visitor. Then, too, it must be remem-
bered that this is not all. AS soon as
the present special features begin to
grow tlresome, others are to come. The
public must not forget that there
is yet to come the wonderful trot-
ting dog, the Japanese and beautiful
Circassian juggler and necrOmancer,a and
dozens of other lesser attractions that
are to follow. Then is to come that
splendid organization, the Strauss Or
chestra, led by the famous Edouard
himself, that great caterer to the mu-
steal tastes of the emperor of Austria.
This will. indeed, be a treat for the
lovers of music, for not only will be
heard the sweet music of the Danube,
but also that weird and grandest of all
compositions, the fantastic music of
Bohemia, But these are all for the
future, and there is enough in the pres
ent to furnish food for reflection or ma
terial for short history of the modern
civilization.
The Edison display continues to at
tract vast amount of attention, and is
we'll worthy all the eulogies given both
to it and the wizard who invented it's
thousands of queer patents. In the cen
ter of the exhibit is an instrument that
has been the cause OF much gueSSwOrk.
1t is pair of huge metal tunnels about
seven feet in length and two feet at the
largest opening. These are set hori-
zontally, and between them is a small
trumpet something after the pattern of
an ordinary fireman's trumpet. This
is EdiSon's meyaphone. The operator
turns the instrument in any direction
he may wish to communicate, and then
places to his ears two hose connections
similar to those used in the phono-
graph. He then speaks in an ordinarily
loud voice through the trumpet. and the
words are carried to great distances,
when received by similar machine at
the point DESTROYS of being reached.
An answer is received IN the same man
ner. 1t is no wonder that many believe
that nothing that has to do with dis
lance cannot be overcome by this
great inventor. Another marvellous
affair is the phOnOmOter. Some time
ago Mr.. Edison found that the human
voice in vibration was possessed of con-
siderable force. He therefore studied
to apply 1t to motive power, and the re-
suit is queer device by which holes
are bored in wood and saw run simply
from the vibration caused by the voice.
The man who invented the idea of
talking off an arm' was not SO far
wrong, after all. The force is there if
applied. This one exhibition alone
gives ample opportunity for hours of
study.
The attendance begins to be good, land
especially SO in the evening. when the
crowds are large as can be comfortably
cared for. The pony track amuses the
children and Is TO them an unceasing
source of pleasure; in fact, if ages are
taken into consideration. there are some
pretty large children who would not
mind taking spin about the building
behind the little beauties. The Tower
of Glory is lit UP each night and adds
greatly to the attractiveness of the
show. The week of Sept. "a to 27 has
been decided upon in which to have the
Exposition building day. Following is
