THE communication in this issue
signed "Only a Voter presents
some very important and interest
ing facts. We have not examined
into the accuracy of his figures, but
the writer said he had, and taking
them to be true, the good results
from the early closing law and the
proper enforcement of the Sunday
law, is even better than we had an
ticipated. If this Reform Board y
by legislation hostile to the liquor
traffic, and by the conscientious
enforcement of its laws, can reduce
the saloons, inside of two short
years, from 81 to u, then in Gods
name let's retain them. OF course
those who favor the saloon, will OPP
pose this Board; it is natural they
should; but it seems to us quite as
natural that those who oppose the
saloon should favor this Board.
What excuse is there for any man
who claims to morality-to say
nothing of christianity-to oppose a
movement which brings forth such
fruit? What father, though he be a
poor, unfortunate, miserable drunk
ard himself, can acquit himself be-
fore his own conscience, when he
deliberately votes to overthrow a
party whose record shows that they
have reduced the saloon temptation
in numbers and hours-mOre than
one half. Not only has this Board
done this, but their management OF
the city's business will make a most
favorable showing, both in economy
and improvements. But we will
speak of that later.

ANDREE'S BALLOON TRIP.

Another Alleged Carrier-Pigeon Mes
sage From Him-Brought by Whal-
ing Ship to Hammerfest, Norway
Comments by an Arctic Explorer.
Copenhagen, Sept 20.-A dispatch re-
cefved here from Hammerfest, the
northernmost town of Europe, in Nor
way, says that the whaling ship Falken
has brought there the third pigeon dis
patch from Herr Andree, who left
Danes Island on July II in balloon to
cross the Polar regions. The message
reads:
July IS, 1890 p m: Latitude S22
north; longitude 1875 east. Good voyage
eastward. All we'll"
Evelyn B. Baldwin, meteorologist of
the Peary expedition of 1S93-'94, said
yesterday to a New York Evening Post
reporter regarding the above dispatch
This message indicates that Andree
had safely crossed the $50 miles or so
of open water which extends from the
north coast of Spitzbergen to the be-
ginning of the pack ice. When Andree
wrote it he was sailing over the great
frozen sea which reaches continuously
evident that the loss of the three guide
ropes, which occurred on the day he
started had not prevented him from
guiding the balloon. Some expert
aeronauts feared that this accident
might bring speedy disaster. 1t is also
evident that the unbelieving aeronauts,
who declared that the gas in the bal
loon would never stand the tempera-
ture of the pack ice, were wrong. If
the extreme cold caused any percepti-
BILE changes in the gases such action
would have taken place before Andree
wrote this message. And if the cold
had done the work so much feared An
dree would not have said, All WELL
TT is significant to note that Andree
was going eastward, the direction he
intended to take This is straw
which helps to verify his reported safe
temperance in Arctic Russia
Doubtful scientists declared, before
Andree left, that he would be unable
to determine his exact location from
the balloon. The tenths of degrees
given in his message prove that An
dree was not only able to ascertain
his whereabouts, but did so with re-
marka BILE accuracy The first three
days were looked upon as being the
most perilous and important of the en-
tire journey. Andree's ability success
fully to Withstand the initial difficult
ties augurs better than the ordinary
lay mind would imagine for the cul-
mination of his daring project"
On July % a carrier pigeon was re-
ported to have been caught near the
island of Tromsoe, Norway, bearing the
message North Pole passed, fifteenth"
This was afterwards proved not to have
been one of Andree's pigeons. A sail
ing vessels captain on July % claimed
to have shot a pigeon between North
Cape and Seven Islands, Lapland. bear
ing the message: "S2 degrees passed
Good journey northward. Andree." No
date was given.

Use a Soft Tooth Brusb

Many people do not know that soft
tooth brush is far better than harsh
one. Don't get harsh brush and then
grind and scratch the beautiful enamel
of your teeth with a gritty dentifrice
Always buy a soft brush and use Pear
lo-dento, the ideal tooth paste. You
will find that Pearlo-dento cleanses the
mouth thoroughly and polishes the en-
amel without grinding it. Besides this,
the medicinal properties of Pearlo-den-
to will have a beneficial effect on teeth
and gums.
Pearlo-dento does more than clean the
teeth. 1t stimulates the gums. arrests
the decomposition of food in the mouth
and neutralizes the acids that encour-
age decay. 1t is delicious in flavor and
possesses merit.
