s'Ths average cycle path promoter, -
says The American Cyclist, is moved
more by zeal than knowledge. Seventy
five per cent of the wheelway schemes now
on foot viii, If censummated, result only
in the practical throwing away of large
sums of money, which, if invested il high
way repairs along tbs lines Of the proposed
paths, might yield very good results to the
cyclists interested. The spirit which orig
mates every cycle path scheme is in the
highest degree commendable, but the IN
derstanding displayed is discouragingly
small in the majority of instances. No
cycle path built on the specifications com
monty adopted this spring could by any
possibility endure through q single winter.
The cycle path should be of enduring
quality, or 1t is not worth paying for. To
plan for its permanence requires a journey
through several fields of knowledge. The
say so Of a novice civil engineer looking
for fees is not enough to warrant opera
tions"

Boston, April PA largely attended
meeting to protest a bill now before the
legislature to destroy the Bulhnch
state house and erect in its place new
building at a cost of $500, 900 was held
in Faneul hail yesterday.
The meeting was held as the direct
result of the finding ofthe committee Of
experts appointed by the late Governor
Greenhalge, that the present building
can be permanently restored and made
substantially fTeprOof for $375, 600.
The speakers protested against the
needless destruction of the historic
state house. the cornerstone Of which
was laid by Samuel Adams and Paul
Revere, and against the wasteful ex-
penditure of over $1,000. 900, and passed
a resolution saying.
The unnecessary destruction and
mutilatiOn of such a building would
cause an irreparable loss to Massachu-
sets and the country. and would be
an act Of wanton vandalism. Every
building of this character should be
preserved from generation to genera

BESSIE OLIVIER.
a Young Woman Who Makes Money By
Singing Into Photographs.


Singing Into Photographs.
The phonograph, like woman, is a ca
PRECIOUS creature, although it is supposed
to record accurately every sound which
breaks the stiffness of the room in which
the cylinders are loaded" In point OF
fact, it doesn't do that by any means.
Some of the finest vocaIists in tho world
have sung into the photograph, with the
result that that hokIs instrument failed to
repeat them satisfactorily. Jessie Olivier
enjoys q national reputation because of her
ability to make a perfect record on the
photograph. The consequence is that her
services are constantly in demand in that
unique field of usefulness.
But Miss olivier has other claims to
distinction. She is we'll known as a gen
uine artist in both the comic opera and
farce comedy fields.
She made her professional debut at the
Grand Opera House, Chicago, as Phyllis
in Dorothy" and subsequently Joined
