Organ Recital,

Mr.. Thomas Whitney Surette, staff
lecturer on Music for the American
University-Extension Society of Phila-
delphia, is giving series of six lee
lures at the Normal School on Tues
day evenings. Two have already been
given. They are under the auspices

quest of DR.. Welsh, the rector and
vestry of St. Paul's P. f. church gave
the use of the church for a free organ
recital on Tuesday afternoon at a
o'clock, the recital being included in
the course. At the appointed hour
the church was packed to its utmost
capacity, many people standing. Mr..
Surette arrived on the Reading train,
and was driven at once to the church,
and played the following program:
Prelude to ''Die Meistersinger''
Wagner
Brides song, Jensen
Choral and variations, Bach
Prelude to "Lohengren," Wagner
The Cello Players, from "Por-
traits" an Album of Piano
forte pieces, .Swetke
March, Gmlmant
Selection from "Parsifal" Wagner
He is hne performer, and consld-
ering the fact that he had never seen
the organ before, he handled the
splendid instrument wonderfully well.
Though the numbers were mostly
heavy, they were apparently enjoyed
by the large audience.
Mr., Surette's lectures are illustrated
by playing on the piano by himself.
Tickets for single lecture, IS cents.

Will Stop Floating Logs on River.

A new departure is to be made in
the manner of transporting logs from
the forests in the northern part of the
State to the sawmills in Williamsport.
Williams & Foresman announced that
they intend to abandon the method of
floating logs down the river, and will
start to have their logs moved by rail.
Williams & Foresman will profit by
the change and will not be hindered
by scarcity of logs when the river is
low.

George Gerard and six big men
were busy Smelling out six acres of
potatoes, first part of the week.
James East tells us that his son,
Frank, at Anita. has lately added a
we'll selected stock of gold watches to
his jewelry stock.
Mr.. and Mrs. James East started on
Tuesday noon for pleasures seeking
jaunt to the Omaha show and other
points of interest, expecting to be
absenta couple of weeks.
On last Sunday afternoon George
Struthers, who lives over in Highland
Grove, thought he'd burn tangled
patch Of dry weeds, and accordingly
he applied the torch. A high wind
was blowing at the time, the fire
jumped like a kangaroo and for time
it looked as if Julius Gruelke and
family would be burned out of house
and home but his neighbors for miles
around turned out with mops and old
brooms and fighting fire all that night
and part of the next day they succeed
ed in squelching its ravages.
When Mrs. James Boyer was a lit
tie wee tiny baby that had to be car
ried about in your arms, cruel fate
separated her and her brothers and
for twenty-six years they have gone
their separate ways and have never
met until last Friday when a brother,
who resides in Boone county, Iowa,
concluded to pay visit to his sister,
having but recently learned that she
resided near Hamlin Station, and so
upon that day he came down and
found the latch string at the Boyer
home out, entered and was joyously
welcomed. The meeting of this long
separated brother and sister can better
be imagined than described, and
James tells us that just to see the hap
piness of those two made him feel as
gay as kitten.
Thirty years ago George Smith
kissed his uncle goodbye, at Beloit,
Wisconsin, then took his parents by
the hand and led them out into this
bowling wilderness, and he has not
seen him from that day to this. Last
Monday a prairie schooner wendell
its way through Hamlin's streets and
on down to Uncle Joe ieffingwells
home, at West Extra, when the
thought occurred so the occupants of
the aforementioned schooner
that George might live thereabouts
and he accordingly hailed Uncle Joe
and asked him if he knew of anyone
who answered to the description Of
his long lost relative, and was greatly
surprised to learn that he had passed
Georges home, at HBmlin. However
he proceeded on his way to Greenfield,
over in Adair county, to visit another
relative and promises to make George
a good visit on his return trip, some
time the early part of next week.

He May Return.

"The craze for fast time on railways
is taking new feature" bserved a
prominent railroad official recently. cit
is the shortening of lines and recon-
struction of surveys in order to make
given line as straight as possible be-
tween two points. It is, in fact, a
scheme to make time by saving dis
lance. A railway without a curve or a
cutting is, of course splendid thing
from an engineering standpoint, but it
is a very tedious affair to the passen-
ger. To thoroughly realize how ex-
tremely monotonous long journey on
a railway without a curve or a cutting
is one must travel on the road from
Buenos Ayres to the Andes. That rail-
way beats all known records for hav-
ing over 200 miles of tracks almost on
a line, such as mathematicians describe
as the shortest distance between any
two points. No one who has not seen
this remarkable stretch of road,
straight in front and behind as far as
the eye can reach, even when aided by
a field glass, can grasp what it means
or what an amount of wearisome
monotony it involves and entails

New Physiological Instrument.

A very delicate instrument known
as the biometer and intended for meas
uring the intensity Of the vital force
in man has been contrived by DR.. Ba-
raduch Of Munich. This intensity is
claimed to have proportionate effects
In attracting or repelling a delicately
poised needle so many degrees. Con-
tinued youth Of course depends upon
the keeping Of this force at it's maxi
mum after middle age. Now, the prin-
ciple Of the biometer is that when a
man is in perfect health the vital cur
rent plays through his system from
right to left. The right hand then will
attract the needle Is degrees, because
the current is entering, and the needle
strives to follow the force, while the
left hand will repel it, because the
force is leaving that extremity. Loss
OF vitality is supposed to be shown by
both hands repelling the needle,
though during sleep both hands at
tract it. A reversal Of the current Of
it's own accord is looked upon as an
unfavorable harbinger, and on the
biometer registering a great loss Of
vitality the subject is to be shut in a
cell in which are arranged electric
lights of great intensity and other cleo
trio fixtures. and after remaining in
this luminous bath for five minutes he
regains his maximum Of vigor

war stores and men continues. A guam
