How People Hear Their own Voices.

How People Hear Their Own Voices.
In his article on Speech and Song"
Sir Morell Mackenzie says people do
not hear their own voices as other peo-
pie hear them. Voices are conveyed to
the auditory nerve, nol only through
the outside air, but more directly from
the inside, through the Eustachian
tube as well as through the muscles
and bones Of the mouth and head. The
singer not only hears his own voice
from a different quarter, as we may say,
but he hears besides the contraction Of
his own muscles The fact Is we'll illus
trated by the phonograph. A listener
can recognize other peoples voices, but
If he speaks into the photograph, and
afterward reproduces his own voice, it
does not sound at all like itself to him.
A free pardon, after this explanation,
may be more readily accorded to Ger
tain persons In every ones circle OF ac-
quaintances who insist upon obliging
with a song. They know not how hor-
rid 1t sounds. London Tit Bits

Nothing of interest happened to- us
until late in the evening, when. just rs
we were turning up from the river into
a small peasant village, the name of
which | have now forgotten, both we
and our horses were startled by the
sudden appearance of a wild looking
man In a long. tattered sheepskin coat,
who, from the shelter of projecting
cliff. sprang into the road ahead OF us
shouting a hoarse but unintelligible
warning, and brandishing in the air an
armful of blazing birch bark and
straw
Whats the matterT | said to our
driver. as our horses recoiled in fright.
Its the plague guard, he replied.
"He says we must be smoked"
The cattle plague was then prevail
ing extensively in the valley of the
upper Yenlsei, and it appeared that
round this village the peasants had es-
tablished a sanitary Gordon with the
hope of protecting their own live stock
from contagion. They had heard of
the virtues of fumigation, and were
subjecting to that process every vehicle
that crossed the village limits, The
'"plague guard" burned straw, birch
bark and other intlammable and smoke
producing substances around and under
our pavoska until we were half stran-
gled and our horses were frantic with
fear and then he told us gravely that
we were purified and might proceed.

THF BEAUTIFULLY! !
1t Was Never so Beautiful as Now
What the Contractors Propose
Doing With it.

A Salem man who came here
forty years ago this winter says all
the region from Wilson avenue to
North Mill creek was a fine duck
pond when he arrived. No ducks
have been seen there for some time
and it is now the finest part of the
city. But il is a wonder flocks of
ducks have not at least alighted on
parts of Commercial, Court and
State streets.
The streets of limpid mud on
those thoroughfares must look very
tempting to the wandering wild
fowl as it hurtles over our city. 1t
does not look so tempting to the
Portland contractors who haye come
to raleiu 10 pave our streets.
They are thinking Of all sorts of
eXpedients to get rid of it. That
it will dry off before May 1st there
is no likelihood. Though the streets
have been dusty at Salem in mid
winter many time, there has not
been particle of dust in the air
here now for some weeks, and a
Kansas dust storm is one of the i'm
possibles.
High winds would help the con-
tractors out, but there is not even
any wind in the atmosphere at this
season in Oregon. A platoon of real
estate men might get out on the
street and blow if there was any
thing in it. And as a rule they are
very successful in disposing of Ore
gOn dirt.
THE JOURNAL can suggest other
ways to the contractors. Cinnamon
with rubber boots and life preserv
ers might slice it off. Scows could
be built, the fire engines mounted
on them and stream played into
the Willamette to form bar about
the piers of the bridge. Could it not
oe made u present or to the
farmers to be used as fertilizers. If
Oregon is the original garden of
Eden as some enthusiastic Oregon
ians claim, it certainly indicates
that the place was well chosen with
a view to having plenty of material
TO make the first man out of. II the
contractors could induce the two
thousand Salem school boys to play
marbles on these streets it would
soon be dried up. If this mud had
the talents Of some of our exchanges
it could be dried up by merely ar
guing with it in rational way in
these columns. But the stuff is not
to be reasoned with and the con-
tractors propose to rely upon dump
carts rather than on moral suasion.

A Wonder Worker.

Frank Huffman, a young man OF
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two promi
nent physicians, and used theiI
treatment until he was not able to
get around. They pronounced his
case to be consumption, and incura'
BILE. He was pursuaded to try DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and colds, and at, that
time was not able to walk across
the street without resting. He found
before he had used a half dollar bot
tie, that he was much better; he
continued to use it, and is today en-
joying good health, If you have
any throat, lung or chest trouble,
try it. We guarantee satisfaction.

TIE RESCUE MISSION.


II Ia Dai.g zehle Werk for Women. ana
Especially Wayward Girls.
There is much talk at present of q
mission to be established In the city for
the redemption and care OF homeless
girls and men. Mr.. Henry C. Newman,
who is the agitator Of the movement, has
been identified with mission work In this
city for the last three years.
number Of ministers and church
members are interested in the work and
definite results will soon be arri red at.
With regard to the need Of such an in
stitution, Mr. Newman said yesterday -
During the past three years in whi ch.
with others, ! have been engaged In mis-
sion work IN this city the urgent need Of
an institution has been forcibly impressed
upon me by the numerous cases Of desti--
tuition and want. which might have been
relieved had the opportunities of saving
young men and women from their down.
ward course been provided.
Scores or cases might be cited where,
within the past Jew months, destitute
girls have been led into lives OF shame
through evil association and possible
necessity, who might hare been saved had
an institution been in existence Tor this
purpose. 10 accomplish this good work
we intend organizing a Rescue
Home Association at public
service to be held on February 5.
The association Will hold mestiugs annu-
ally, at which officers will be elected aud
plans for operating and conducting tke
home VIII be discussed the officers of
the association viii consist or president,
vice president, secretary and treasurer,
with whatever committees shall be Deem
ed necessary. There will also be five
trustees, whose term of Office shall be two
years; superintendent and marron.
who shall be elected Tor an indefinite
tergnn
Mr. Newman went on to say that meet
ings would be held from time to time ia
various churches TO interest people ip the
work and to raise money, for before
organizing such an association it would
be necessary to raise a sufficient amount
OF money to commence the work.
A finance Committee consisting OF
Messrs. NJ Senderling, G.. w. Backus.
John Connolly, Charles Hill and Samuel
X. Wallace will receive any contributions
to the association.
There is no doubt about Dir. Newmana's
ability to handle this matter. He has
been at the head of several such associa-
tions, all OF which have prospered. Ills
ouly reason for leaving the Morris Street
Mission, of which he is the founder. is
that be feels that other missions are
needed in the city. This has been Mr.
Newman's pet scheme for years ana ne
hopes to succeed In founding such an in
stitution.
