to the square root of one and a half
times the height OF the observer in feet
above the sea level, allowance being
made for the effect of atmospheric re-

Miss Ethel Houston Du Ere the gifted Birmingham girl who Is achieving great reputation in grand opera, contributes an interesting article to the St. Louis fose Dispatch in which she discusses the neces- sity of a European education for Amer ican singers to perfect their art for an operatic career. Miss Du Ere is mem Der of the Castle Square Opera Company of which Miss Adelaide Norwood is prima donna, and while the formers musical education was completed in European schools the latter has never studied note outside of her own country. Miss Norwood believes the European education unnecessary and debates the question with Miss Du Ere who champions the for eign education as follows:
 "There are many reasons why l firmly believe that American singers should go abroad to perfect their art for an op- cratic career. In the first place the young woman who studies among her friends and acquaintances in America, Is apt to have disquieting and distracting social duties which take her mind from her professional studies and occupy hours which should be given to vocal practice. "On the other hand the student who 1 goes abroad for teaching has no social
 ties to occupy the mind. The student of painting or sculpture in Paris lives con- l stantly in an atm osphere of the art which perpetuates itself in marble or on | canvas, and the student of singing finds 1 himself environed by an atmosphere that 1 p6 nothing else. Broadly I should say there fore, that one is able to concentrate the mind more strongly on study in Paris than at home, say in St. Louis or Bos- ton or New York. This, of course, i'm plies no disparagement to the teachers In America. Only the atmosphere of the musical centers in Europe is more conducive to earnest study which means progress. than the atmosphere at home.
 Again, in foreign cities-in Paris Ores den, Munich, Milan, and even in Buda- Pest and St. Petersburg, the student of singing may hear good opera we'll sung every. night in the year for a trifiing price of admission. In America the Castle Square performances alone provide such tuition at similar prices. The young singer in New York or Chicago or St. Louis who wishes to hear and study the singing of Melba, for instance, or Sembrich, or Schumann-Heinck in a series of roles can only do so during a limited season of Italian grand opera, and at prices which are absurdly in- f1ated. On the other side of the water those singers may be heard for a trifiing fee throughout extended seasons. Then, again. Americas scorn for traditions is a bar to learning here the accepted ipterpre- tations of great roles by the great artists

MRS. GUCkENBERGER
 TO SING IN CHOIR.

The following is clipped from the Springfield Homestead:
 ''rhe First church Is very fortunate in having secured as alto for its choir Mrs Margaret Gerry Guckenberger, now of Birmingham, Ala. who will come, with her husband, Prof. Benjamin Guckenber- ger, to live in this city. Both Mir. and Mrs. Guckenberger will prove distinct addition to the musical circles of Spring. field, as both have been prominent in the musical events of Birmingham. Mrs. Guckenberger's health compels her return to the north. the climate of the summer months in Alabama affecting her unpleas- antly. She has sung number of times in the annual musical festivals of ,Birm- ingham, which are similar in character to our own festivals, and has also sung in the Hebrew synag.g on Saturdays and in church on Sundays. For the past year she has sung the heavy masses of the Cath ollie church in which her husband is or ganist and choir master. She also had many pupils in singing.
 Mrs. 'Guckenberger is a native of Bos- ton, and has had a thorough musical ed ucation; she has been a pupil of Mrs. H. M. Sawyer of Boston, George Henschel of London and August Schultz of Berlin. Mime. Artot has instructed her in French methods. etc. Before going to Birming- ham she was connected as teacher with the Cincinnati College of Music.

US no use, old man; you can keep on trying them, one after another, but the same old haunted look in your eyes, the same lantern jaw, the clothes that need a bicycle pump. will continue until you quit coffee.
 There are hundreds of thousands of your type, sick and miserable half their lives, taking cathartic pills, stomach rem edies, blood purifiers tonics and an end less string of remedies, some of which might be beneficial if you were not con stsntly pouring in poison that keeps up your trouble. and that poison is coffee.
 You say, "I ought to be able to drink coffee because I see others that use 1t and thrive" but my dear man, your makeup may be so highly organized or of such a character that coffee, even one small cup a day is an absolute poison to you.
 You can prove whether or not 1t is by leaving off coffee totally for period of, say, ten days or a month. During this time eat plain food and drink Postum Food Coffee.
 If your stomach gradually begins to re- cover. pulse beat right and you lose the uneasy feeling of ill-health. you can safe ly conclude that coffee has been poison to you and if you want to do things in this world-make money, be a success, round out your body and win friends by your good nature and healthfulness-you want to throw over your coffee and take in return all these good things. It's just sense-plain. good, common sense.
 Underneath all this are reasons of the most scientific character known to the physicians and chemists. In a nutshell coffee is a poison to many people. Take it away and introduce Postum Food Coffee which is a liquid food of high character

who have made musical history in the past. Furthermore, the m usic makers of the present and of the future are not found in America, Puccini, Delibes, Mascagni and the other composers of the hour are always delighted to instruct earnest students of singing in the phrases they compose Who can over-estimate the value to Frau Materna of lessons in the Wagnerian roles from Wagner him. self; or of the benefit it must have been to Emma Flames to have been couched in the part of Fro, in Fro and Leandre by Mancinelli, the composer?
 "We all know that Christine Nilsson was instruced in the role of Marguerite by Gounod; that Bizet himself gave les sons to Calve in the role of Carmen, and that Verdi gladly coached Etelka Garster and Adelina Patti in the part of Violetta in "LaTraviata." The immense advant- age of this personal acquaintance with the authors intention, regarding the sing ing of the roles he had written, cannot be over-egtimated, and. of course, could never have been obtained in America. AS all good Mohammedans wish to go to Mecca, so all great operatic artists hope to spend their declining days in Paris or Italy, and in those two large spots in the artistic map one may always be sure of finding great teachers among retired stars of the lyric stage In America such former opera singers as now teach the rising generation how to sing are those whose bad ano faulty method has ruined their own voice and caused them to abandon the stage for the good of operatic art, 1 should say to the ambi- tious young American girl, avoid the fo
 mer opera singer who teaches singing in America as you would pestilence.
 "Of course, I do not deny that now and then there is born singer with a voice which Is bound to make itself heard, no matter where it is taught. Such a singer is our own Miss Adelaide Norwood. whose beautiful voice and inherited musi- cal and dramatic method would have placed her in the front rows of prima donnas if she only had had the advantage of such musical education as is obtained in Patagonia or South sea island"

Washington, March 1S.-Senator Penrose, chairman of the committee on immigration, has submitted a re. port recommending the passage of the Chinese exclusion bill, which he re- ported a few days ago. He says that the sentiment of the American people is crystaIlzed against the admission of Chinese laborers to compete with the workingmen of the United States. The report reviews the difficulty of en- forcing the exclusion laws, and says that this makes it necessary that new legislation shall be comprehensive in its scope and effect.

The skating craze has reached such point that a rink has been opened at Five Points, and every evening 1t is the popular rendezvous for the little folk, as well as the older people. Hundreds of children have gone in for skating this spring, and with far more enthusiasm than is shown by the average grown per son in playing golf or even ping-pong. The fashionable residence streets have their wide sidewalks thronged every sun- ny afternoon with picturesque little skaters. and it has become such fad that a rink has been the natural conse- quence.
