CANCELLATION OF SALE.
Corporation Counsel Renders Opinion
Respecting Non-Delivery of Deed.

Mr. A. B. Duvall. the corporation counsel,
has rendered an opinion to the Commits
sioners in the matter of the cancellation
Of q sale and the withholding of the deed
for property assessed In the name Of John
F. n. Wilkinson upon which taxes were
paid for 1897 and 1892 by Emily Wiltsie.
Mrs Wiltsie offered to purchase the prop
erty at private sale under the provisions
Of the act Of Congress relating to taxes
and tax sales approved July 1, 1902. Before
the delivery of the deed Mr.. Wilkinson
paid the amount of taxes in arrears AMI
the collector of taxes recommended that
the sale be Cancelled and the deed be not
delivered.
The collector states that the object of the
act of Congress was to furnish the Com
missioners with machinery which would
enable them to collect the arrears of taxes
due the District; and that the deed had not
been delivered in fact. and until its delivery
the Commissioners had the right to accept
payment for the tax from the actual own
er of the property and to declare the sale
void The right Of the Commissioners SO TO
do Is not altogether free from doubt
If this was a sale of land" says the
counsel, by a private owner who had vol
unfairly received the purchase money, he
would have no right to cancel the sale; but

cuR1os1T1Es OF SOUND.
Everything Heard Can Be Placed on
It's Proper Musical Note.


From the Baltimore American.
In very high or mountainous regions
sounds become diminished in loudness, SO
that conversation cannot be carried on
in an ordinary tone Of voice. In mines or
in diving bell tine reverse Of this Is the
case. Speech becomes so startling that it
must be carried on in whispers to be at all
endurable to the ear. Sounds Of all kinds
become musical If the vibrations Of air are
uniform and rapid enough. 1t is said that
the puffs of an engine would make a ire
mendous organ peal of music If they could
be made to attain the rapidly of fifty or
sixty a second. Everything in nature has
its keynote, as it were, and attuned to one
particular musical sound. This fact can be
very easily verified in everyday life. Stand
near an open piano and speak in an primary
tone; while speaking you will suddenly hear
a string within reverberate to your voice.
The tick Of a watch, the sound Of every
human voice. the bark OF dog, the NEW OF
a cat, the noise of a wagon, the roll OF
thunder. the fall OF rain, the running Of
water; in fact everything about us can
easily be placed by an attentive ear on, its
proper musical note-one of the sounds of
the scale. This is a most interesting expert
ment, and easily verified.
1t Is said that the ear can distinguish
eleven octaves of sound, but as rule those
made by quick. short vibrations are more
easily conveyed. For instance, the whirr
of a locust makes more distinct impression
than the signing OF the wind through the
trees. whirlwind In its approach IL
noiseless; 1t is only when 1t strikes some OBJ
stacie. that the volume OF sound becomes
terrific to US. Then we receive the second
airy shorter waves from the destruction Of
this obstacle. Tyndaii says all friction is

tive to sound. They will bend and flicker.
and even respond with a leap OF Quivering
