Music Of The wlrea-

A good many people have theories
of their own as to the aeolian music
which is given out by telegraph and
telephone wires when they are under
the influence Of certain breezes, says
the Liverpool Post. When telegraphy
was in It's infancy the yokel used to
think that the noise was made by
messages passing over the wires.
Most educated people know that this
is silly theory, but they will be sur.
prised to hnd that their own theory
is as ill-founded. Dr. Laska, a Polish
meterologist, declares that the noise
Is not given out by the wind at all
but that 1t Is caused by unseen ter.
restial changes caused by meteorolo-
gical influences. He hopes by a
close study OF the sounds to be able
TO discover a means of forseeing what
the weather Is to be. Whatever
theory he formulates In this direction,
Il is to be hoped that IL will be more
reliable than the meteorological fore
casts which have hitherto been given
10 the world There is something
humiliating In the fact that the Eng
lish weather defes the scientist. The
Meteorological ONCE. with all it's IA
seems TO be unable TO give
us more than a rough idea in figures
OF the weather which we have en-.
joyed-or otherwise-and that Is not
very Consoling. There is an opening
for DR., Laska. and there is a further
opening for him II he can put tho
wires 20 use when Mr. Marconi has
once for all proved that they are no
longer necessary for the transmission
OF messages. And the rustic, instead
OF watching for colored sunsets, viii
put his ear TO the telegraph poles.
Curlously enough, the heather in his
Hindoo blindness already foretells
the arrival OF the rainy season by
listening 10 the sound OF the lonely
wires which cross the vast expanses
Of his country. He found il out long
ago. and the scientist laughed at him
for his pains.

CLEAN the CITY.

The last three days OF this week the
State Editorial Association will be
with us, and Salem should present the
appearance OF clean city.
Owners Of property should clean up
the walks and streets about their
premises. even II they have to hire II
done at their own expense.
All obstrucuons, like beer kegs. dry
goods boxes and barrels and woodpiles
should be removed from the side.

want wide, clear walks
Our public buildings and fine resi-.
dences and business blocks and broad
streets naturally give Salem an i'm.
pressive appearance.
II citizens would cooperate with our
marshal and street commissioner Sa-
lem would be, and easily is, the finest
city In the northwest.
Morally, for lis size. Salem is the
cleanest town on the Pacific coast,
and this is not saying very much.
The one hundred and over editors
who are coming here this week will
have many things 10 say about Salem.
and what they say about Salem de.
pends very much on the impression
we make ON their senses.
Let us look our prettiest, wear our

What beauty in the autumn woods.
Where. in the calm. deep solitude,
The amber sunshine finds its way,
The cheekered light and shadow playi
Such beauty everywhere we turn,
The moss-grown rock and dropping
fern.
The woodland flowers and trailing
vines,
The singing brooks and signing pines.
The murmhr Of the gentle breeze
That stirs the yellow chestnut leaves,
TIL softly in the grasses brown
The round and prickly burr drops
down.
The naples are In bright array
OF mottled gold and crimson gay;
The oaks In deepest scarlet dressed,
In cloth OF gold are all the rest.
Except that now and then between
There stands a tall, dark evergreen
That sheds It's spicy fragrance round
And drops It's cones upon the ground.
With asters white and purple tinged,
And golden.rod. the woods are fringed
With scarlet berries peeping through
Where wild grapes hang of purple
hue.
And hrey-hngered ivy clings,
While mlik.weed floats on downy
wings.
The crlckets chirp and insects hum,
For glorious autumn now has come.

following statement today:

the disturbed region was 172,000 miles
with a width OF about $4,000 miles. the
aggregate length of . the principal
spots being 12SOOO miles. The group

the naval observatory by several Of
the astronomers. and ought to be a
conspicuous object for several days

last evening, a bright glow in the

Superstition Of the Unlurky Thirteen.
When King Arthur founded the ia.

the enchanter, to arrange the seats.
Merlin arranged one set of seats to
represent the apostles. Twelve were
for the faithful adherents of Jesus
Christ and the thirteenth for the trai.
tor Judas. The first we're never oc
cupied save by knights distinguished
for their achievements. and when a
death occurred among them the seat
remained vacant until a knight sur.
passing him in heroic and warlike at.
tainments should be considered wor.
thy to fill the place. If an unworthy
knight sought the chair he was re.
PEELED by some magic power.

cupied but once. The story goes
that a naughty and insolent Saracen
knight sat down upon II and was i'm.

could be examined. Then the head of
the house put on his glasses and very

When all had been put through this
examination he called the entire force
