tiOutlHueU
Neat of the exposition. President
Francis was given a great ovation.
In a brief address ne reviewed the
history of the exposition enterprise
from its inception to the supreme mo-
ment now at hand, eulogizing the
work of his colleagues and praising
the public spirit of the citizens of st.
Ssects of the exposition to be to con-
memorate the past, present the ad-
Nantages OF the present, and inspire
hope for the fuure-the past, the
present, the future of America and
the whole world. Loud and continu
Gus cheering followed the conclusion
OF President Francis remarks, and
the band struck up The star Span
gled Banner" amid umultuOus cheer
ing and waving Of hats and handker-
chiefs.
William H. Thompson, chairman Of
the committee on grounds and build
lhgs, stepped to the front of the speak
er's stand ana introduced Isaac /.
Taylor, director of works. An oVa-
ton was rendered to Mr.. Taylor. who
mad managed great part of the huge
task of preparing the exposition and
had done many things that only a
great man of remarkable versatility
can perform. He said that he had
worked many months on his speech.
and that in delivering it he would de-
liver the keys of the buildings to
President Francis, which he did. The
transfer of the exhibit palaces to f. J.
Y. Skitf, director of exhibits. was then
made. Mr.. Skiff delivered a brief adj
dress and was accorded a rousing re-
ception that testified the peoples APP
probation for his invaluable work in
making the exposition a success.
Addresses followed by Thomas H
Carter, president of the national com
mission; f. II. Hartman, speaking
on behalf Of domestic exhibitors, and
by representatives of the congress
sional and other committees chat
have had much TO DO with the affairs
OF the enterprise.

address was brier and very charac-

be as modest as he is able.
When these formalitieS We're con-
cluded there came a scene that was
notable for its intense impressiVeness.
President Francis stepped to the front
of the stand and faced the eXpectant
multitude. 1t was a few minutes past
the noon hour. and these words came
from the cIearest Of voices:

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are ap,
piled to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation sets
in. which causes them to heal with
out maturation and in one-third the
time required by the cid treatment.
Chamberlain Pain Balm acts on this
same principle 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home ano
il will save you time and money, not
to mention the inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries entail

FALLS OF THE soTocAN RIVER
One of the Show Places in the Phil
ippines.

John Bancroft Deyins in New York
Observer-The ride to the falls of the
BOtocan river was mostly over a trail
leading up the mountain side a thous-
and feet or more over rocks and
through defiles that taxed even the
sure-footed ponies viii
While the canyon may be all that Mr.
Stevens and others say, the view from
the mountain peak was beautiful
every mile CT the way. A turn in the
road gives one a glimpse of the lake
Is miles or more in extent; another
eminelce gained shows cocoanut
groves stretching from the lake to the
mountain side and covering hundreds
of acres. Ii is said that no greater
number of cocoanut palms are visible
from any part of the archipelago. Two
or three cities nesting under the noun
famous slope invited us to turn aside
from our trail, especially as the day
grew warmer, but Botocan was our
goal. Shortly after noon we reached
Luisalia A more deserted-loolling
town | never saw. Even the abandon
ed farms of the Berkshire hills did not
seem more completely deserted. 1t
is true there were houses Oh one or
two streets running out from the
square, every window seemed to con-
tain from five to seven persons, most
ly women and children. Toward night

At the hcme of the only European

| TO the south When Gov. and Mrs
Taft went to see them last year they
were carried up the mountain side in
large chairs by the natives. Foreman,
in his work on the Philippines, esti-
mates the height CT the falls at 900
feet. Foreman was not an engineer.
The exact height as given us by the
governments engineer is 200 feet.
The width is about so feet. While it
is not a Niagara it is a fine waterf9
even at low water as we saw it, THE
| best time TO see the waterfall here,
said the engineer, ''is when the roads
are so bad you can't get here" The
river is so rapid that the water soon
runs down to the lake 1t is expect
ed that within a short time a report
will be completed showing that it is
possible to send the power of the fall
to Manila, some rs miles distant. 1t
is expected, however, that the report
will advocate the damming Of the
river above the falls to retain the
water and then carrying it along the
mountain crest until point is reached
This will destroy the present falls. but
