Wnen one views the stately building
at the corner of Sixth, st. Peter and
Market streets, on which large sign
reads IS. w Raudenbush & Co.. it is
hard to realize that the principal occupant
tneIeoi, the ABOVE named firm, was not
many years ago housed in two small
rooms on the second floor of an unpre-
tent1ouS building on Third street and that
tnose quarters, while small, were all that
was necessary for the business at that
time. But such is the case for when Nj
.. W. Raudenbush came to St Paul to
engage IN the piano business he made a
very small beginning indeed But he came
mere with a thorough knowledge of his
business, having spent several years with
large concerns in Chicago, and had been
IN business for himself at other places. so

was entered. The building formerly

new occupants and called the Rauden-
push Dullolng. 1t was handsomely remod-

The Radio Vibrator

sAn invention which, 1t is asserted
! may revolutionize medical science and
throw into insigniffcance such discov-
cries as radium and the X-ray, has
been brought to completion In the lab
oratories Of the state university by
Warren F. Blocker, formerly instruct
or OF chemistry in the University of
Colorado.
For years Mr.. Blocker has worked
on his invention which he calls the
radio vibrator. For the last three
| months he has worked in the labora-
tory of Prof. Hubert c.. Carel. profess
sor of chemistry at the university.
The instrument is based on the
theory that the elemeats OF the human
body, when the body is in perfect
health. vibrate in perfect harmony.
When the body is in diseased con-
dit1on this normal tone Is destroyed.
By the therapeutical application of
the radio vibrator, it is declared, the
deranged tone Of the body may be re-
VentOr does not claim for his instru-
! ment all curative power, but by actual
trials remarkable results are said to
have been accomplished in curing
nervous diseases.
The radio vibrator is small, nickel
plated metal box about four inches
long, three inches wide and one inch
III IuiChIttSSs rTOIu one 0nQ TWO wires
about four feet long extend These
wires terminate in small circular
disks, which are applied to the af-
fected parts of the body The box con-
tafns mysterious compound of chem
icals known only to Mr. Blocker and
his assistants. The vibrations of the
chemicals within the box are trans
mitted by means Of the wires and
disks to the human body AS soon as
applied the action of the chemicals
within the box is calculated to cause
sympathetic normal vibrations in the
diseased body, thus restoring the pa
tient to health.
Speaking of the invention of Mr..
Blocker, Prof Carl said:
1.-The invention involves just four
things-frst, the scientific theory that
the normal tone of the human body is
caused by the vibration of the ele-
ments composing it.; second, the math-
ematicaI deduction and determination
Of what chemical elements are to be
used and in what proportion, and this
may vary according to the tempera-
ment Of each person; third, the prep
aration for each individual case Of the
instrument, and, fourth, the therapeutic
application of the instrument. New

satisfied to get shaved every other day,

weather sets In. Then he begins to
feel dirty unless he is shaved every

IS that instead of getting shaved ev-

you can see how that booms business.

THE PASSING OF WHITE WINGS.
BY Grace M. Brown.

Silent and serene, placid and most
beautiful. Casco Bay bids God speed
to its parting guests.
And they who have breathed the
strong. piny sweetness Of it's atmos-
phere. who have relaxed and laid
down their burdens on the heart OF
Its Island stronghold. now turn with
a parting look of love and gratitude
Tor its hospitality and its many
blessings.
Many Of the workers In the bustling
world have met and passed, not
knowing how closely their hearts
might blend, did they but know.
Many friends have found each other
In this passing. never again in all
time to be separated.
One almost sees and hears and
feels the fiuttering Of angels wings
as he realizes the coming and going,
the greeting and parting, of those who
have gathered in this dear summer
home.
Outwardly they may never know,
but at heart someway we feel strong
er, purer. better-not only for the
rest in this joyous air. but for the
meeting and passing of souls-exter-
nally perhaps so apart, in reality so
beautifully one.
One evening we stood and watched
with almost adoring eyes the glorious
setting OF the mighty sun.
AS the most glorious vision slip.
ped out of sight, 1t left a deep red
cash In the sullen sky like some
fierce knife wound revealed in
the heart out OF the depths
OF mysterious and holy things.
And We wondered at the symbology
OF 1t all, and prayed that here. at
least. man might be kind to man
might with eager love give him the
hand-grasp Of fellowship rather than
the cruel cash of unjust gossip and
subtle contempt.
All, the white wings OF peace and
love!-the white wings folded over
the hearts OF men! Open the portals
OF that closing heart, unfold and re.
veal the angel side which in reality
Is the true and only lasting part OF
man.
Come out of the Iurid half.iight ef
selfism into the brilliant white Iie.,s
OF universal harmony. Unfold the
white wings OF consciousness, that in
passing. all humanity may feel the ra.
dance OF the angel presence.
To those dear native friends who in
the peaceful seclusion of their homes
have extended to us their courteous
handgrasp, We leave our cordial
friendship, and the hope of a happy
return in days to come.
And in the passing OF the white
wings we feel the angel heart Of pure
human love.

The yacht races, which have been
creating considerable interes. seem
to have quietly died out and the own
ers Of winning boats are wondering
when the prizes are to be awsrded.
Several contested races are held up

the winners by the judges, who are
figuring out the time allowance. The
second class was finished last week
and the Florence, owned by Il. O.
Watson OF Lewiston takes first mon.
ey. second going to the Kancymo. In
the first class the Sheerwater has two
races and has been offered the third
by the judges who disqualified the
Amy. which won by the small major.
ity of four seconds. for striking a
buoy. Mr.. l.. II. Spaulding, who
owns the Sheerwater, however, IA
ready to sail the race over again,
rather than take II on these condi.
tons. The Amy, Mr.. r. w. Baxter's
boat, has won one race, the first sail
ed, and the Banshee, owned by Mr..
Woodman OF Diamond Island is cred
tied with two. This leaves an open
chanch for either OF these three boats
to win. In the third class practically
nothing has been done to give a de-
cision TO either Of the boats up to

considerably on this account.
