- EACH HAS ITS OWN NOTE.
Unmusical Things That Respond When
the Right Key Is Pressed.


When a certain deep note comes
from the organ in the College Avenue
Baptist church, says the Indianapolis
News, the small porcelain cylinders
that look like candles in the chande-
lier culver and rattle, but no other
tone from the organ disturbs them.
Organists are often annoyed in this
manner by some loose object in the
church where they are playing, but
they are usually able to hunt down the
rafting offender and stop it. All
these offenders are specialties, and
will answer to the tone that is their
keynote. i
W. II. Donley, organist at the Me-
mortal Presbyterian church, in speak
ing Of some of his experiences with
this mysterious law Of physics said:
Churches that are built of wood
are the worst offenders, and next to
them come the churches that have
much wood in their interior fittings.
The vibrations seem to travel along
the floors, as they form the best con-
ductors, but where there is heavy
post above and below the floor this
current Of vibrations will be broken.
From the floors the vibrations seem to
travel up the walls, apparently seek
ing for some loose object that's keyed
to them. The deeper notes are the
only ones that are apt to start such vi
brations.
1SIn giving piano lessons at my
home | notice that an easel rattles to
a low F and that 4 vase answers to a
G. In a church I am occasionally
led on long hunt for some offending
object, after it has annoyed me
through Sundays services. I just
fasten down the key that has started
the vibration and then look for the
vibrator. Sometimes it is a loose door
or window sash which has to be
wedged fast; sometimes it is loose
board in the Wainscoting, and some
times it is simply hatpin or pencil
on window ledge. The worst Of all,
however, are the small panes Of glass
in art windows. With several hundred
