The Estey church Phonorium is a two
manual pedal organ of great power and
variety. 1t is attracting much attention
because OF its pipe like quality of tone,
its apparently inexhaustible resources,
its quick response, its case of action and
its conformity to the best pipe organ
models in arrangement and nomen-
clature OF speaking and mechanical
stops. Great strides have been m sde in
former years, but the Phonorium may
Justly be said to represent the very
latest and best results in tone building

presents an instrument with three sets

place. and the parents were making
preparations to purchase headstone
when the missing boy appeared.
Young Vogt explained that he had been
