Talking Through the Body.
I'M the Chicago Journai

from the Chcag0 JOurnaI.
To talk through a human body-or a row
of human bodies. for the matter Of that
is one Of the weirdest Of the electricians
feats. II telephone wire be severed and
the two ends be held by a person. one in
each hand. but lar apart. 1t Is quite posi-
BILE for two individuals to carry on a con-
versation through the body Of q medium as
readily and as distinctly as il the line had
been properly connected.

Counsel.

Counsel.
II thou shouldst bid thy friend farewell
But for one night though that farewell should be
Press thou his hand In thine; how canst thou tell
How far from thee
Fate, caprice may lead his feet
Ere that tomorrow come? Men have been known
Lightly to turn the corner OF a street,
And days have grown
To months. and months to tagging years,
Before they looked In loving eyes again.
Parting, at best, is underlaid with tears
With tears aud pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come between
Or time, or distance, clasp with pressure true
The palm Of him who goeth forth. Unseen,
Fate goeth, too!
Yea, find thou always time to say
Some earnest word betwlxt the Idle talk,
Lest with thee henceforth night and day,
Regret should walk.

floor was later drenched with water from above.
 The origin of the fife seems. to be a mystery. Some of the neighbors say they heard a lot of firecrackers eXplod- ing, but Ned Doheney, who rooms there, says he had some cartridges in his room and it is likely they were taken for firecrackers. It seems to be the general opinion that the fire had been smoldering some time before the shots were heard. A frame building stands within a few feet Of the west wall of the house, and though its occu- pants were naturally very much alarm ed the various streams of water turned on it amply protected it.
 The West End house is the property of Mrs. Julia Doheney. who at the pres ent time is in California, and is said to be well insured. Being summer time there were but few occupants in the second story and the only person known to be at home was a lady who at the time was outside the building hanging cut some clothes.

FIREnkN WORKED HARD
West End House Badly Burned But
 Saved From Destruction.


 The Phoenix fire department was called out yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock to a real fire, and though it met with an embarrassing delay in the beginning in the matter of getting up steam, it e. a fine piece of work be- fore the hour was over
 | The fire was in the West End house at the corner of Washington and seventh avenue and the result was that | practically everything inside the second | story was burned the brick walls were blackened by smoke both outside and | in and the lower story was water soaked and somewhat damaged there 1 by. But under the circumstances the | fact that the woodwork of the lower floor was saved and the walls of the upper story were not cracked beyond repair, stands to the credit of the fire men who worked like heroes on a hot afternoon and mid stifling clouds of | smoke.
 For the purpose of getting a fire started under the engine in the quickest possible time regardless of the presence of the engineer there is an automatic arrangement under the engine in the engine house whereby a bunch of matches is drawn across q piece of sand
 
 hitting some waste soaked in oil and placed just behind the block of matches. | This contrivance has always proved a success till yesterday when for some reason it failed. It generally takes about seven minutes to get up pumping steam and the steam is therefore ready soon after reaching a fire. But yester- day it was not discovered that the fire fire failed to start till the engine was well on its way. and it could not be lighted by hand while the engine was in motion. IL was therefore some fif- teen or twenty minutes after the alarm before the engine got up pumping steam.
 In the meantime the hose companies had connected with the hydrants and were doing the best they could The pressure was not strong at first, but it enabled them to reach the second story, and the pressure was applied as quick ly as possible at the power house.
 The burning building was a perfect volcano of smoke and sheet of flame that could be seen for half a mile en- veloped the eastern side above the yer 2nda. After the fire was over it was hard to tell what could have made so much flame. The water streams. how ever, soon dissipated the smoke enough to show where the fire was. and it was confined to the ceiling and partitions which were numerous owing to the fact that the upper story was a lodging house. The lower story was occupied by Thompsons grocery store the stock being all removed as well as most of the fixtures. There was of course the l natural loss by breakage and the lower

RACE TRACK PROPERTY

Walla Wallas magnificent growth
IS attested to by the number of
choice suburban tracts that have been
plated and placed on the market this
year to accommodate a rapidly in
creaslng population and others that
VIII be placed on the market as soon
as preliminary work is completed.
Among the latter is "WatertOwn,"

surveys are now being made by Sur
yeyOr Sayles.
The property is being laid out so as
to face the new city park and the city
and will be graded and improved in
modern style. With the streets anu
alleys out Mr.. McCabe expects to
have 800 lots to place On the market.
All lots will be large size. 60 feet
frontage and 120 feet deep. The
streets will run north and south and
east and west to conform with the

Swim in Hard Luck.

Swindells and Bowling are out of
the game for the rest Of the season,
says Manager Wilmot Of the Butte
team. The loss of these two men viii
be the worst stroke Of hard luck that
has happened to the Miners this sea-
son.
Swindells has been babying a sore
hand for some time, and yesterday he
had it so badly injured that it is
hardly probable he will be able to get
in the game again. Bowling has more
chances for working, but he hurt his
shoulder and is not able to do very
good work.
Swindells has been one of the star
catchers Of the league this year, and
he has missed but one or two games
since he signed with the Butte team.
He is considered the hardest hitting
backstop in the league. Bowling has
been the star pitcher of the Butte
team. and if he is unable to get into
the game, will hurt the Butte team.

THE SITUATION IN MACEDONIA.

The trouble in Macedonia is due to
the determination of the Macedonians
to have a Christian ruler, who, so far
as local administration is concerned,
shall be independent of the Turk.
It is contended that under Chris
tian governor Macedonia would be as
peaceful as any of the Balkan States.
but that so long as the Porte is in di-
rect authority over the people there
will be continual uprisings, disorder
and unrest.
Russia and Austria are expected by
the rest of Europe to maintain peace
in the Balkans.
They prefer Christian ruler for the
Macedonians, but will hardly carry
heirinclination to the point of making
war on the government at CONSTANT
of the Czar, and here comes in COM
plications.
Yet it looks as if the time had arrived
when something must be done.
Russia and Austria feel responsible
ty to the rest of Europe and must take
some aggressive step
1t IS, on the other hand, by no means
certain the Sultan will fight because
of Macedonia Army posts are main
tanned at great cost and is it not estab-
lished that any material advantage
comes to him to be merely called ruler
of a hostile people.
But conditions are seeming ripe for
trouble and the next few weeks may
Abring developments which will involve
all Europe.
