A WRESTLING CHORUS AS A METHOD
OF REFORM.-A Kansas evangelist has
adopted novel manner of increasing
interest in his meetings. He wanted
all his congregation to take part in
singing as q devotional exercise. He
found many who could not sing, but
were good whistlers. So he organized
a whistling chorus, and by dint Of
practice they become a novel as we'll
as proficient part of the exercises.
People come from all parts of the
State to hear the whistling choir and
revival such as had neve. been wit
messed ensued. Now the delighted
Rev. Doctor Alexander is travelling oil
over the State arousing interest in the
soul by the sibilant notes OF his novel
choir.

JAPANESE FAMINE Nor So BAD AS
the famine condition in Japan is not
so serious as reported. A Toxic dis
patch of the 3lst ult. says there have
been no deaths that can be directly
attributed TO want of food, but the
weather has been exceptionally severe,
and to this may be attributed much
mortality among the aged. It is pos.
sible, however, that the contributions
sent have aided in producing this ia
vorable report, for conditions were be-
coming steadily worse and the relief
subscriptions aided materially in re-
lieving want.

Why THE PRICE OF BUTTER FELL
1t seems that the late cut in the
price Of butter is due to invasion of
the northern market by the Califor MIA
product. A dispatch dated Tacoma,
the 3lst ult., says that Extraordi.
nary efforts have been made TO hold up
the prices Of Washington Creamery,
but it has been unsuccessful. The
several dealers and creameries have
agreed that . cut Of price had to be
made, and it was accordingly done. It
really seems TO us that our State
should be able to export that product,
instead Of being compelled to meet
California prices.

OILY NPiA, WASH.
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL G, 1906.
May Leap to the Pole.

II is now seriously propose to make
a dash for the North Pole 10 "A derigible
balloon, the start to lie made from
SpitHbergen, about the lst OF August,
by Walter Wellman, a notable ex-
plorer and journalist. who has twice
made trip of discovery 70 the Arctic
regions. This attempt will be made
by a balloon peculiar in some respects
and the largest ever built. 1t Is to
consist Of two layers Of rubber covered
cotton and one layer, the inside one
OF rubber covered silk. The envelope,
or casing, is to have tensile strength
OF 575 pounds to the square foot,
which is rated to be six times the
strength required for tension and
weight. This is more allowance than
in any balloon yet made. The length
OF the casing will be 1G4 feet and its
diameter 524 feet. Its gas capacity
will be 224,221 feet and its lifting
power 10000 pounds. 1t is expected
that q speed OF Is miles will be at.
tanned with q 50-horse. power motor,
and 10 miles, with an auxiliary motor
that will be provided. The distance
to be travelled is 1900 miles, and the
$500 pounds OF gasoline to be carried
will drive the airship nearly twice
that distance.
A wireless telegraphic outfit will be
taken with the expedition that will
consist OF o crew of five men. The
weight of the balloon framework, steel
car, motors and all paraphernalia will
be 1900 pounds, leaving an available
power for the men and supplies Of s.
500 pounds. The means Of propulsion
will be by screw-propellers.
II is thought that this expedition
will give far greater assurance of sue.
cess than any that have hitherto been
made, and without much more risk
than has attended former efforts. If
the sirship fails, the explorers will
take to sledges and endeavor to com.
municate with the outer world by
means of aerial telegraphy.
