FROM A WELL wlsHER.
Editor of the Broad Az:

Editor of the Broad Ar:
I am much pleased to observe
that you pluckily continue the pub
location of your weekly publication,
and from the appearance presume
you are meeting with the success
which you undoubtedly deserve.
! could wish, and 50 / doubt not,
your friends also wish, that you
could make such arrangements IS
win enable you to print the Broad
Ak at your own plant.
In connection with this wish, l
hope your friends viii take such an
interest in the matter as will result
In the accomplishment of the de-
sired end.
In Utah we are well supplied
with daily newspapers, printed in
the interest of both political par
ties, and, indeed, papers of all po-
, htical parties. Many of them ed
tied with much ability; all no doubt
conducted Ia such manner as their
respective owners believe viii best
promote the public interests.
1t is q questi n of considerable
importance, and one which has been
somewhat discussed, whether well
and ably conducted weekly papers
do not serve the purpose of edu-
eating the people upon such sub
jects as cngross their attention, as
well, If not better, than the higher
priced dailies and the magazines.
A large majority of voters do not
subscribe for, nor do they have
time to read the daily papers, but
who can, and no doubt do, read
weekly newspapers. And in this
way keep themselves posted in re-
gard to current events.
We have here in Utah, a pretty
large and growing list of persons
who have but recently become en-
titled to take an active and effective
part in the affairs of state. and who
have not heretofore devoted as
much attention to such affairs as
they win naturally do hereafter.
For this reason, and for other
reasons, it is believed that if all
those who are in sympathy with the
Broad Ak, viii take a somewhat
active interest in promoting its CIR
culation In and out of Utah, by
subscribing for it, and advising
others to do likewise, it viii not be
long before its enlarged columns
win attract the attention Of a large
number of persons who may, by
reason of the sound political doc
trines inculcated become advocates
thereof.
In order, therefore, that the OBJ
jects herein pointed out may the
better be conserved, / beg leave
most respectfully to solicit an &C
tive and liberal financial support to
the Broad Ak by the people of
Salt Lake and Utah. X. Y

WHY THE SKY IS BLUE.

Did it ev AZ strike you to inquire
why the oudless depths of sky above
us are so decidedly blue? 1t isn't be
cause the gas we call air is in itself
blue.
AS far as we know, it is quite trans
parent and absolutely colorless. No;
the blue comes from reflected light.
Air is never pure. You couldn't live
in it if it was. Millions of tiny parti-
cles, chiefly of water, are always sus-
pended in it, and these arrest the free
passage of light. Each particle has a
double reflection-one internal, the
other external-and SO the reflected
rays suffer the usual result of what is
called interference, and show color
You will notice that the sky appears
much bluer if you look across toward
the horizon The reason is, that in
the first instance, you are naturally
looking through a much thinner layer
of air than in the second.
If there were no air, and consequent
ly no watery vapor and nothing to
interfere with the free passage of light
even at midday the sky above would
look perfectly black, and all the stars
show palmer than at present they do
at midnight

ADVENTURES OF A SPY,

The following narrative is told by Il
Federal soldier VINO, during the war
between the North and the South
entered the Confederate lines,
pretending to be Il deaf and dumb
pedlar, in order to find out whether
a certain position was strongly forti-
fed or not
As soon as | got within the lines /
encountered a party of cavalrymen.
| was in citizens clothes. and had Il
pack on my back. The troop was
commanded by a lieutenant, and he
uueried to me
who are you, and where are you
going!"
Here was the first test. Every one
had his eye upon me. 1t was a coin
pliment to Inc that one of the men
called out before | had made a sign
Hes dummy. He's got a face
like washboardm
wrote on my tablet
What do you want?n
The lieutenant wrote in reply
WHO are you, and where are you
going tor
| gave my name as George Byles,
and stated that | was Confederate
pedlar The officer asked for my pass,
and told him that it had been taken
| from me three days before by SONS
Yankee raiders who had captured Inc
and turned me loose.
He gave me the order to ride on. |
could see an encampment down the
| road, and any attempt to flank it
| would create suspicion. 1t was well
| that | went ahead, for one of the
cavalrymen followed me right back to
| the sentinel on the outskirts of the
camp. He walked his horse imme-
diately behind me, and so close
| that the animals nose almost touch
ed my back, but he did not catch me
off my guard. When the sentinel
stopped me handed him my name
and occupation, and in II few minutes
| | was in the presence of the officer of
| the guard. | was escorted to the
| quarters of the officer of the day, and
| here came test, made so carelessly
that if l had not had ali my wits
about me | should have been lost. As
we reached the quarters the escort
| said
Here is deaf and dumb man who
has no pass. Captain Parsher order,
ed him here from the guard tent"
"Ail right" replied the officer, who
was not even looking at us; and then,
as the escort started off, he half turn
| ed to me and said
STAND aside for q few moments,
and will attend to your case
His tone was so careless and his
order so natural that | caught my
muscle moving to obey. Had picked
up foot | should have given myself
away. As | did not move, he present
| Nv turned to me and began to inquiI e
about me. gave him the details
and while we were passing the tablet
back and forth "a captain came. The
officer of the day said to him
I'VE have captured Il dummy. If
is mighty queer that he should take
to peddling among the soldiers, but
they are a queer lot. lie says he had
a pass from Polk, but that the Yanks
gobbled it when they captured him
the other day. Do you see that
blood spot on his left cuff"
| was looking the officer full in the
face as he spoke. | felt that he would
try some trick, but he did it so neatly
that he almost caught NE. winked
but did not drop my eyes.
He then took the tablet and wrote
that l might circulate about the camp
until guard mount, and then report
to the new officer OF the day.

4 DISTANT ANSWER.

"How far is it from here to Brush
burg?' asked tourist of an old fellow
who was hoeing weeds in Il field of
sicEly corn down South"
Wall, it hahn t so very fer nor it
hain't 50 very nigh. If you go round
by the big road its ferder nor it is
nigh, but if you cut across country,
its higher nor it is fer, an if you keep

LET THE BOY HAVE MS FLING

Let the small boy alone. He is do
ing what nature meant him to do-to
make nose and be glad. Nobody can
keep him down. He ought to have
his fling, and he ought to shout for his
country as much as he likes. He will
soon enough reach the age when but
few things in life can make his heart
beat faster or the color deepen in his
faded cheek, when he will echo the
universal sigh for youth departed:
Backward, turn backward, 0 time, in
thy flight!
Make ne child again Just for to-
night

WOULUN'T hYPLIIN.

A certain Manayunk man is grow
ing more and more deaf, and greatly
dislikes to admit it. He makes "a
brave pretence OF understanding
what is said to him, and this frequent
y entails amusing mistakes.
Not long ago Il neighbor met him,
and said:
perhaps you haven't heard about
the visitor that arrived at our house
yesterday?-a fine baby boy-a per-
feet cherub?'
The deaf man smiled pleasantly and
replied:
"Oh, we have lots of 'em at our
house. My wife gets them by the
bushel. Stews 'em, you know and
puts 'em up. She put up more than
forty cans this summer Yes, indeed"

A certain political candidate was
once busy canvassing his district, and
in the town met a young farmer. "Oh,
my dear sir,n said the candidate,
how is your father? l hope l may
count upon his support and interest,"
He is dead, SIR replied the man of
agriculture; but you shall have my
Vote Many, many thanks" said
the politician, warmly pressing his
hand.
Later in the week the candidate was
in neutrality-suspicious. when mem
Der of his committee stopped the same
young farmer and remarked, Now,

THE REYNOLDS SCHOOL OF Er,o-
 CITTION

The Reynolds School of Elocution will reopen for the season of 1Ss7-9S on Saturday, September IS, at 571 State street, near Wall street. In conse- quenc of steadily increasing patronage, which has necessitated more ample ac- commodations. the Reynolds school has removed from the Insurance building
 where it has been located several years
 to the new residence of Mrs Reynolds where every facility is afforded punils to prosecute their work under the most beneficial conditions and where the best results shall be attained. If is we'll known that this school has long held an enviable reputation for eff ciency in training pupils, and through out the entire state the Reynolds School of Elocution is we'll known and appreciated. This year 1t will be the aim of the principals, Mrs E. Reynolds and w. Manning Reynolds, to make it still more satisfactory to all who at tend. Miss Lottie M. Reynolds will continue her classes in dancing and de- pertinent. Her reputation and skill as successful teacher are too we'll known to require more than a statement that she will, as heretofore give her undi- vided attention and best efforts for the advancement of her pupils. She will have afternoon and evening classes. All indications point to the coming season as highly successful one at this mod el school, as old and new pupils are daily arranging for attendance.

POSTAL CLERKS CONVENTION.
Suggestion of Congressman Sperry ol
 Concerted Action Adopted in BaIti

Suggestion of Congressman Sperry on
 Concerted Action Adopted in Balti-
 more.
 F. N. Maher, superintendent of the mails. returned Sunday evening from Baltimore, where he had attended the convention of the National Association of PostofIice Clerks, held last week.
 About 200 postoffices sent delegates MT. Maher represented the New Haven Postal Clerks association. The most important work of the convention was the adoption of the suggestion of Con- gressman N. D. Sperry, that commit tee be appointed which should confer with like committees from the asso- citations of Railroad Clerks and Letter Carriers for the purpose of securing unanimity of action before congress V hen legislation is needed.
 Another scheme of lively interest to the clerks of the country was that of securing such legislation as would pro- vide for the employment of substitute clerks during the vacation of the regu- jar men.
 The act proposed to cover this issue was past by the convention and will be laid before congress at its next session.
