NO VILLAGE ELECTION HELD.

THE LEGAL ELECTION DAY PASSED ny AND
NO ONE KNEW 1T.
Owing to misconstruction OF the law
relating to villages incorporated by the
county board Of Supervisors, no election
was held in this village to elect officers
for the ensuing year. The error WAS dis
covered nearly one week after the legal
election day had passed. The election
was called for last Monday, which Is the

lature. When the error was discovered,
the best legal authority (which unfortu-
nately did not include either Fuller or
Patek) was consulted and acting upon
their advice no election was held ON Mon
day. This move was thought best to
the interests and general welfare OF the
city at large. An election could have
been held on the wrong day, but ID was

Too little attention is paid nowadays to
the superior advantages to be gained from
correct reading aloud. In the schools this
highly necessary branch Of education is too
often considered so simple rs not to require
any attention, and the practice of reading
aloud in the home circle has gradually
given way to what are considered more
elegant recreations, but the truth Is that
it is an accomplishment far more indispen-
sable than almost any other. for 1t is u
known method of averting consumption
or entertaining ones friends, and Of show
ing the true quality of the mind. 1t is one
of those exercises which combine mental
and muscular effort. and hence has dou
BILE advantage.
To read aloud well one should not only
understand the subject, but should hear
his own voice. and feel within him that
every syllable is distinctly enunciated
Every public speaker ought to know
whether he is distinctly heard by the farth-
est auditor in the room; IL he does not, 1t is
because he does not understand the proper
use of the voice Reading aloud helps to
develop the lungs just rs singing does
The effect is to induce the drawing Of long
breaths oftener and deeper than it is done
in reading without enunciating. These
deep inhalations never fail to develop the
capacity of the lungs in direct proportion
to their practice. -Jenness- Miller Magazine
