ment was made on Commencement
Bay, Puget Sound, church was built
but there was no bell tower, SO big
FIR tree was selected. The bell was
placed in the top OF this tree, lad
der extending from the root of the
church to the improvised tower. The
ivy-colored fir still stands, with the
bell in its top.

The roar of the lion can be heard
farther than the sound of any other
living creature. Next comes the cry
of hyena. and then the boot of the
owl. After these, the panther and the
jackal. The donkey can be heard fif-
ty times farther than the horse, and
the cut ten times as far as the dog.
Strange as it may seem, the cry of
the hare can be heard farther than
that of either the cat or dog.
