MECHANICAL MUSIC.

The Common Idea of 1.-THE Angelus
Orchestral
To music lovers the term mechanical
music conjures up visions of wheezy
hand organs, trickling music boxes and
an IL term nable line Of toy instrumen $
Il at produce sounds but never by any
chance what a musician under stands
as music. But with the advent Of the
orchestral or piano attachment, ev-
erybody music lover or not, is com
PEELED to admit that true music can be
produced mechanically. The "orches-
trail" however, is not a mechanical in
strument in the sense that hand organ s
and music boxes are mechanical it is
only mechanical in the sense that a
piano is mechanical 1t is in fact a
logical sequence of the piano, just as
the piano is the logical sequence Of the
harp.
The Angelus orchestral, for which
William L. Barker, rooms 2 and In
surance building, is agent is one of the
latest productions of the piano manu-
features in this line. The attributes of
the Angelus are innumerable, and the
power of its music is wonderful. No
matter what the time or style of the
selection, it is within the power of the
Angelus to render it. And the most
wonderful part of it all is that one may
either interpret the composition accord
ing to the wish of the master or com
poser Of the piece, or he may give 1t his
own interpre tation.
A description of the Angelus here
may not be amiss. In the first place,
there are two distinct attachments-the
Angelus or attachment which renders
purely piano music; or the Angelus
orchestral, which renders either piano
or organ music or both Both are
about half the size of an upright piano
and are so constructed that they can
be fitted to the piano or taken apart in
a moment A moment only is required
to slip the roll into place, and then by
operating the stops governing the time
and music the selection is rendered.
The playing Is done by the feet which
operate the orchestral, much as one
would use the pedals Of a piano. The
stops are few in number, but by their
aid the performer controls absolutely
the time and expression of the music
that is being played. The Angelus or
chestraI, when operated in this manner
produces the most beautiful organ mu-
sic BY using loud stops a volume of
sound that is positively tremendous is
attainabie; by using soft stops all the
beautiful soothing effects of like play
ing on the organ are produced.

COLONEL BADEN4POWELL'S RE-
MARKARTE PROCT

London, Dec. 29.-The text of Colonel
Baden-Powelps proclamation to the
Beers besieging Mafeking comes from
Lourenzo Marquee to-day. His bonn
bastic utterances and unfounded asser-
tons are calculated to surprise others
besides the Boer general, Snyman, who
has already voiced the anger of the re-
cipients. After asserting that the re-
publics cannot hope for foreign inter-
veHtion and pretending to relate the
exact attitude of all the European pow
ers, including Emperor William, who,
the colonel said, fully sympathizes
with England Baden-Powell makes
the extraordinary statement that "the
American government has warned the
others of her intention to side with
England should any of them interfere"
