HOW TO CONTROL A VOICE.
British Officer says Nature lie Not the
Sole Regulator

British Officer Says Nature lie Not the
Sole Regulator
To a recent issue Of the British Med
ical Journal Major R. F. q. Austin, of
Imtarfa, Malta, contributed paper on
commonly overlooked factors in vocal
mechanism; in which he asserts that
the universal idea that all naturally
possess either good, bad or Indifferent
voices Is wrong and contends that ma
ture Is directly responsible for one
and only one Of these conditions, and
that the others must be attributed to
mans unconscious departure from ma
lures laws.
1t will be news to many that by far
the greater number do not possess full
control of the adductor muscles of the
cords and are therefore unable to place
and keep the cords in the most ap-
propriate position quickly. The author
asserts that 1t is surprising what a
number Of professional voice users, as
well as amateurs, fail in this respect,
According to his thinking, the major
ity of voices are lost not from over
work but as a result of improper ennis
sion.
Major Austin contends that in order
to obtain quickly the thorough control
of any muscles or set of muscles they
should be developed by brisk move
ments, which fully contract them. In
the case of the adductor muscles of the
cords this can only BE done by using
the voice in a most inartistic although
physiological manner. That Is to say.
words should be sung or spoken quick.

limits Of the compass are reached.

this has been done.

SAILORS FAITH IN oMENa

Sea Superstitions Are Picturesque and
Many of Ancient Date.
Sailors superstitions are usually pic
turesque. Many Of them are very old
and many Of their beliefs are common
the world over. To break looking
glass on shipboard means broken
mast, and a broken tumbler means a
shattered compass. A sneeze invites
misfortune unless you sneeze to the
right. The man at the wheel under
any flag will tell you that he can not
steer straight If there is a cross-eyed
passenger aboard.
Women are considered extremely
unlucky on a warshlp or merchantmen
and are supposed to bring sQually
weather and dangerous gales. Away
back in the early SOS it was custom
airy for a captain In the navy to take
his wife and family with him on long
voyages, but to-day the women arc
left at home.
st. Elmo's lights are another source
Of uneas1ness to the sailor. They are
usually seen in the tropics and are
probably due to electricity, but they

the British connection which had been
put on foot since the great rebellion
In the end Of the previous century.
An insuwection broke out In several
counties in the south of Ireland on
the night Of March 5, 1867. Mr..
O'Brien at this period was engaged in
business in Cork. He was already ap-
preaching his fortieth year, ana
seemed the last man In the world to
be called upon to head q body Of
armed men. But when the forces that
were called out to meet at the tryst-
ing place there was no leader Of those
who had been expected to take com.
mand, and O'Brien spontaneously and
promptly took up the vacant place,
and put himself at the head Of the
headless force Then they started out
on their expedition, and first made for
some police barracks in the neighbor-
hood There was brisk skirmish at
one Of these barracks, and ultimately
the police agreed to surrender, and
OBrien himself brought the ladder to
the wall Of the barrack for the pris-
oners to come forth. The humanity
with which he treated the conquered
policemen was remembered in
VBrien's favor afterwards. His tri.
umhp was short-nveds the soldiers
came up, and O'Br1en was arrested
and transmitted to gaol. In due time
came a series of State trials, and
VBr1en was convicted of treason and
sentenced to be hanged, drawn and
CHARTERED. The sentence was, how
ever, committed to one of penal servi-
1ude Tor life, and he spent several
years In the convict gaols Of England.
When an amnesty came he was re-
leased and returned to business, and
likewise to revolutionary propaganda,
ne was a member of the governing
oooy OF the Fenian organization. Sub
seQuently, when Parnell started the
Land League, Mr.. OBr1en's views nm.
uerWent some modification, and in
1880, when the reduction of the fran.
chlse IN Ireland gave Mr.. Parnell his
nsse cnanee OF electing a large party,
o'br1en stood for a division Of Mavo
ana was elected. At later date he
became bitter opponent Of thu Par.

to its source. Leaving ST. Louis on
Aug. 8, 1908, he returned after nearly
nine months Of constant hardship and
exposure, Of continual danger. having
satisfactorily completed his work.
n 1907 he was engaged in a geo
graphical exploration to the western
part Of the Louisiana territory, in the
course Of which he discovered that
mountain in the Rockies that Is named

carried him to the Rio Grande River,
and having been found in Spanish ter

York (now Toronto). His own cour-
age and the admirable plans that he
had formed led to the capture of the

was halted until preparations could
be made for an attack upon the next
redoubt. The magazine of the fort
exploded, killing General Pike and
some OF the soldiers, and closing his
career in a moment Of victory.

The cars are excellent places for

humanity. Nothing Will develop char

Poisoning by Germs,

From time to time the public is
shocked by stories of poisoningS
where the crime IS accomplished by
means of deadly germs, or some OF
the recently discovered unstable con-
ditions Of matter. This phase of
crime is likely to increase, for some
time TO come, particularly among the
educated and cowardly criminals who
coverabie means, and to whom the
possibility of committing almost un-
detectable murder appeals with the
force of romance
But the condition carries its rem
edy with it, The weapons used are
too delicate and too dangerous for
use by the common murderer; except
in the hands of the trained expert
they are more apt TO destroy the cTimi
nal than his intended victim; the
methods of detection will become
more and more certain; and, wher-
ever success may attend an attempted
poisoning by these means. the tempta-
ton to further crimes will be irresist-
ible, and lead to such a number Of
suspicious deaths as TO point inevi-
ably to the murderer.
Mankind need not fear an era Of

ings. The criminal tendencies will

cited merely to show that even the
highest intelligences are not free
from the thought or the actempt,
though they usually avoid the act
of suicide
Against this view there is only one
body of respectable opinion, and that
is the teaching of some OF the ancient
philosophers. Whatever they have
said in favor of suicide in some cir
cumstances is more than met by The
advance in cur knowledge of life and
its meaning. What is still unknown
to us adds to the weight OF reasons
against so final en act
While We may very we'll temper
our Judgment of actual or attenpte
suicide with charity. we must put
away the thought OF such a thing
fo! ourselves. regarding every rossi-
BILE phase of existence as an oppor-
tunity for work and development.

proud of his socks. There may be things
that he is vainer OF. but have not dis

that taste appreciated. He gives you
every chance in the world to show your
appreciation Invariably he manages

TO do is to cast sidelong but admiring
glances at the revealed eXpanse OF en-
