the gate receipts. Raedy VIII put himself
into condition at the Outing Club gymna-

down the river. The bout is expected to
be a good one. as both men have shown
that they can handle their hands in good
style.
Albert Johnson the well.known middle
weight called at this office last night and
stated that he would like to arrange a
match with Dick Phillips. the heavy

One of the best football games of the sea-

The Power inside a Piano.

The general notion of what happens
IN bhe interior Of the piano when the
finGsr presses a KEY may be conveyed In
the simplest tsrms. Would YOU believe
that the power developed when the
strings OF your piano are turned to the
proper pitch equals energy sufficient to
raise twelve tons ese foot from the
ground? IL 1t has ever been your mis-
fortune to be present when the string
frame Of piano was fractured. the
above statement will require no eOnir-
nation. A thunderbol. scarcely makes
greater nproar, an earthquake canses
little more destruction. The writer hap
pened to be playing on one occasion,
with what, In his c0nceit. he imagined
to be great effect. He felt he was being
admired by the men and worshipsd by
the women, when, ~ he brought his fn-
gers down for a magnificent final, he
instantly found himself upon the floor
with the piano stool on his stomach,
while the piano itself presented wreck
OF KEYS, lids, mechanism, and serpent
like wires. Struggling to his feet, dszed,
his stuttsriDg questions as to what In
