that thorough master OF the king of in
strlments, introduced the new Hooke q
Hastings grand organ which the church
has lust put In. The very large and APP
preciative audience was delighted ana
charmed with Prof Wheat's selections, as
well as with the sweet tone OF the mag

Friday. IN its report of the concert in
that city the evening before says OF
Prof. Wheats performance:

There Is living in this vicinity within
three miles OF the city, probably the old
est married couple In the State, II not In
the United States. Their names are Oar
win and they were born I'm Montreal,
Canada. and are f'renchs Louis OAR
win was born on Sept. q. 17sS, and is
therefore over 10l years old. His wife
was born on March Il, 1924, and was lvl
on her last birthday. This aged couple
were married in 1915 and have passed
their eightieth anniversary
They have lived near here for the past
forty-two years. and he has been eN-
tensively engaged IN the lumber and log
ging business, also In farming. They have
reared a family Of seven sons ana iiNe
daughters. only FIVE Of them being alive
now The Oldest daughter lives here and
has a large family, she being married
when she was II years of age. They
have the fourth generation from the par
emf tree. The old gentleman was one OF
the liveliest among the boys on the
river forty years ago, and could dance
all around the young fellows OF that
time. He was noted for his politeness,
which at times was somewhat ridiculous
az was the case when his wife was very
sick. The attending physician going 10
see her met the husband coming to the
city Good morning, Mr.. Darwin said
he: "how Is your wife this morning
Politely raising his hat he said: she
is very much worse. thank you. doctor"
The old couple have been very rugged
and hearty, and have lived in cottage by
themselves for several years, and all last
summer were able to be about the farm,
hut they are both very sick at present,
and there seems little hope Of their re-
covery. After fourscore years of married
life. they are disposed TO say that so far
as they are concerned they think that
marriage is not a failure.-St. Paul Pion-
Ger Press.

As pumping is one OF the
most common uses to which
wind motors are put, TIL
method OF communicating
motion TO the pump IS very
important and has received
our closest attention, and the
defect created in most wind
mills of racking themselves to
pieces in a severe wind has
been Obviated in the AermOtor
by means OF back gearing, SO
that the wheel makes about
three turns to one stroke Of
the pump or enough SO thar
the wheel may run at its natural
speed, unrestrained in any
moderate wind, without doing
violence to the pump or its
connections. This enables US
to give the pump long stroke
instead ofthe quick, jerky, short
strokes of ordinary wind mills.
This means that the valves are
not worked SO harshly in open
ing and closing and that the
wear and tear is greatly dimin
ished, while the piston rod
speed is increased, and conse-
quently the pumping capacity
is increased. The back gear
ing, together with the extra
holes for crank pins in the
crank wheel also makes it pos
slble TO use with the Aermotor
any ordinary size of pump
cy Under. If wind motor is
not sensitive to the direction of
the wind much of its efficiency
is lost.
The ease with which a wind
mill faces up to the wind de-
Ponds on weight of the mill, |
the kind and condition of the |
bearings on which it pivots and
the comparative leverage of
wheel and tail. Ia the matter
Of leverage, the advantage en-
ioyed by the Aermotor over
common wind mills will
be made apparent by the
act that the center of the
wheel is only twelve inches
from the mast or center on
which it turns while that of the
best known wheel is thirty
inches, requiring as is easily
seen two and one-half times as
ong or large a tail to balance
he same sized wheel. The
AermOtOr presents one half
he surface to the wind; it is
that this other wheel
must have five times the tail
surface to make it face the
wind equally we'll thereby
greatly increasing the liability
% wreck in a storm. The
mere fact that we have placed
50 more Aermotors on the
stands is sufficient guarantee
If their superiority and desir-
ability by those who want a
motor that looks after itself.

During his recent visit to Japan.
W. y. Armstrong collected cOnsid-
cradle material for report on the
labor and industries of Japan with
the end in view of showing to what
extent the prices and systems of
labor may affect the relations of
that country with these islands.
II was the intention To incorporate
the facts obtained in Il report OF
the Labor Commission but the ter
mination Of the Commission by
law prevented its presentation.
Consul General McIvor of Yola
hama kindly favored him with the
scale of wages prevailing in Jap
ah. The foreign merchants also
furnished statistics which show
that the scale of wages is rising
in that country, and ii is the belief
o. those who are watching the in
dustriaI growth of that country,
that before many years there will
Ne Il considerable advance in the
wages of skilled labor. y num-
b'r of the foreign business con
Germs in the treaty ports are grad
ually advancing the wages of GER
tain employees, particularly those
who become proficient in the for
Cign methods of doing business.
The japanese have never been
trading people, merchants for
long time being regarded as little
better than thieves. Even today
they are cllSSed below the farm
Crs. But i'm this as i'm many other
ways the influence of the foreign
merchants is gradually changing
public opinion. The Japanese
take kindly to the example set by
progressive foreigners; they are !
quick to learn and always ready |
To accept instruction that will re-
suit in financial Improvement. /
At the present time the real value 1
of labor in manufacturing and |
commercial pursuits is unknown.
1t is the general belief, however.
among those acquainted with the
people. that there will be n grad
ual rise in wages. This will be
brought about by economic laws.
The effect of the late war with
China was to rapidly increase the
price of many articles and in not
Il few communities. the rate of
daily wages. Should Japan adopt
the gold standard. there would
probably be Il doubling of wages
as reckOned on the silver standard
which now prevails. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Armstrong; report
will bee made public as the tenden-
cy of the labor market in the East
is a matter of vital Importance to
the industrial future of this
country.
