spool and stretching across the hole at
one end two rubber bands. The bands
must be close together at their edges,
hut must not overlap You can tack
or tie the ends over the side of tho

When you blow through the other end
of the spool the bands vibrate Ike the
human vocal chords. and make sound
something like the human voice, which
will change according to the force with
which you blow.

Inauguration Day.

The movement in favor of changing
the date of presidential inaugurations
from March to a later time, preferably
April 80, is taking Oh new CarnCstnCss
and vigor There is an energetic or
ganization working to bring about the
change The governors of Al Of the 10
states have joined this movement. and
n national committee having the mat
ter in charge is arranging for u meet
ing in Washington in November, Just
before the assembling Of congress The
intention is SO to present the matter TO
congress as to impress upon that body
the desrability of postponing inaugu-
ration day to n season when the weather
is likely to be less inclcment than on
March 4, The idea is to have the change
take place after 1909. The good argu-
ments seem to be decidedly in favor of
the proposition, and doubtless congress
will give due consideration

Minnesota s population is close

growth during the ptst five years
being a little better than eleven
per cent.
The growth is now what we
should like to have seen it, but it
is substantial. Two things may
be said to have hindered the
growth of Minnesota during
these five years. First, the Cana
dian land boom and the systema-
tic advertising done for Canadian
lands with the utter lack of any
systematic attempt to advertise
Minnesota. Second, the failure
of the state to reclaim it's swamp

some bitches during the past FIVE
years, but they have been COM
paratively few in number while
hundreds of thousands of acres
of state land valuable for agricul-
tural purposes lies today a quak-

that the state of Minnesota has
set before it. May it learn them

What Is NJ. Witte?

M. White, the Russian repre-.
sentative to the Russo Jap peace
conference, says that he regards
himself more in the nature Of an
imperial courier from the Gar
to ascertain Japan's peace terms
than in the light of plenipotenti-
airy with plenary powers.
M. Witte will have to regard
himself as something very differ
ent from an imperial courier, and
will have to show pretty sub
stantial authority for his opinion
of his powers, before he will en-.
ter into any negotiations what
ever with Japan. Japan has I'M
oubtedly definitely decided what
the terms shall be, and it is SIM
ply a matter of Russia's agree
ing or disagreeing with these
terms and it is also quite certain
that Japan will not treat at all
except as to the irrevocable con.
clusion of whatever terms the
representatives of the two coun-
tries may agree upon.
The statement of M. White that
he considers himself more in the
nature of an imperial courier
sounds much like the beginning
of that diplomacy which has
Russia distrusted by the nations
of the world.
