PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-"There
are millions of homes in which peo-
pie call themselves educated and yet
they talk about 'vanillar ice cream,

tar Ricar' and use other similar SLOW
emily expressions" Thus spoke Henry
James at the Bryn Mawr commence
ment exercises at which he was the
principal orator.
James chose for his subject "The
Question Of Our Speech"
THE newspapers" he said ARE
nothing more than black eruptions of
type, and they roar like monsters
breaking loose.
Inconsistencies is only beautiful
when perfection in speech has be-
come second nature" said Mr.. James
What you young women should do
is to initiate. Don't be afraid to imi-

cords in the speech of those around
you there comes to your ears the
music of some one who has the prop
er tone and enunciation, initiate

CITY LIGHTING PLANT
PROPOSED FOB SPOKANE

The city to conduct its own light
ing plants the proposition made at
the meeting of the city council last
night by Councilman Gray of the
Second ward. The councilman put in
a resolution asking the board of pub
lie works to prepare an estimate of
the horse power that would be avail
able for operating a municipal light
ing plant after the necessary water
service has been provided. This, on
the assumption that enough power
would be left after the water service
had been given.
Captain Gray, in supporting his
resolution, said:
There are 366 arc lights in the city
costing 81 per month each. or a total
of s1464 per month. The cost Of
power for three pumping stations is
$442.so per month. The cost of light
ing the city hall and fire stations is
sS3.95 per month. This brings the
monthly total to $1990.75 and the
yearly total to s23,SS9. After 80 arc
lights are added this year the total
annual cost to the city for light and
power will be S25,329."
Plans and specifications for the i'm
provement of Main avenue at Mon
roe street were suggested in a reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Pratt to have
the board of public works take up
the matter Immediately.
Corbin Park residents filed a petit
ton asking that the unfinished work
in the park be carried to completion.
1t is pointed out that the lagoon is
dry. unfinished and bridges not COM
pleted and that the streets around the
park are in frightful condition.

Tells
OF HIS COUNTRIES
MANY GRIEVANCES

SPRINGFIELD, O., June 14.-Pro-
fessor j. A. Ness of Wittenberg col
lege, this city, a native of Norway,
said today in discussing the split be-
tween Norway and Sweden:
"a declaration of war on the part
of Norway would be a most fot fish
thing. I fear that other countries
would fish in troubled waters. The
Norwegians have never before been so
united on the question of secession.
But there seems to be a division of
sentiment as to whether Norway
should be kingdom or a republic.
Some people would elect F. Nansen,
the arctic explorer president of the
new government, while others are in
favor of selecting a prince from the
royal house of Denmark and making
him king of Norway
What are the causes that have led
up to this state of affairs?"
Consular representation. Norway
ranks fifth in the worlds shipping
tonnage, but the country's consular
representatives are nearly all SwedeA
who are advancing the interests of
Sweden to the detriment of Norway's
commerce.
THE spirit, too, of Gustav Adolph,
the crown prince, has aggravated tie
situation. He has boosted frequently
that he would be delighted to lead
any army into Norway"

USE WIRELESS
TElEGRApnY ON
RAILROAD trains

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Following a
telegraph messages on passenger
trains running at a high rate of
speed, made between st. Louis and
Chicago by DR.. Lee De Forest, the
Chicago & Alton railroad is planning
to equip all of it's trains with the
wireless apparatus by July I. The
innovation, 1t Is said, will prevent
train collisions.
The tests were made on train No
3 of the Chicago & Alton, which left
Chicago at 11:20 a. m. and arrived in
st. Louis at 1928 p. m. Half a dozen
messages were received on the traif
from President 8. M. FELTON, of the
Chicago & Alton from Chicago, and
from d. Bowes, assistant general
passenger agent at st. Louis. LateA
these messages were checked up and
found to be correct in every respect
DR.. De Forest, who is vice presi-
dent of the American De Forest Wire
less Telegraph company, upon reach
ing St. Louis, stated that the tests
were satisfactory and proved beyond
doubt that the service can be made
perfect when inauguratej. Stations
along the road will not have to be
placed closer than 100 miles apart,
it is said, this fact having been
proved by the tests.
1t is planned to equip locomotives
with wireless signals that will warn
the engineer Of the approach Of trains
within a mile or two miles on the
same track. The ringing of bell In
the cab is the signal that will prob
ably be adopted. President FELTON, Of
the Chicago G. Alton conceived the
wireless system, and is personally
supervising the experiments.

GREETING THE
FLAG TODAY

WASHINGTON, June 14.-All over
the country this mornin's sunrise was
marked by raising Of flags, in
greater numbers and with more cere-
mony than on any other day of the
year, except perhaps July A.. Today
is Flag Day, the one hundred and
twenty eighth anniversary Of the en-
actment by congress thata the flag
should consist of 10 stripes, alternate
red and white, and a union of 10
white stars in a blue field. Thirty
five years later congress ordered that
a new star should be added for each
new state admitted to the union.
There are 80 more stars in that field
now than when the flag was first rails
ed and within another year the num-
Der will be still further increased by
the admission of existing territories
into the sisterhood of states.
