CALL FOR NEW BIDS.
Swedish Church Association OF Skanee
win Make Further Effort to
Erect Parsonage.

At meeting OF the members of
the Swedish Lutheran church society
OF Skanee, held last week, the sub
ject of erecting parsonage was
again brought up for discussion,
with the result that a call for bids
from contractors again appears in
another column of this issue.
There seems to have been a gen
eral misunderstanding in the matter
at the time the subject was under
consideration in May last, through
the misguidance OF several persons,
and by this contractors who were
planning upon bidding were misled
and the affair practically dropped.
Notwithstanding, the committee
in charge OF building affairs again
announce its intention to proceed
with the work and ask that bids be
10 the hands of G. H. Anderson, Of
Skanee, not later than September
Both, noon.
Plans and specifications may be
seen at this Office, and it is hoped
that those who filed bids in May will
do so again, when they will be given
that careful and painstaking atten-
tion which they should rightfully
have received at that time.

WAS H|TTINGLY
RE-OP[N[D.
L'Anse M. z. Church Repairs Com
pleted and First Services Conducted
Sunday Last.

"A thing OF beauty is a Joy for
ever. " Such may now be said OF
L'Anse M. E. church, the interior
Of which has been remodeled and re-
furnished. Sunday last this editice
was reopened to the public, and in
the morning and evening special
services were held in keeping with
the occasion. Special music was
rendered, which was listened to by
a large number Of people. During
the morning services the rites OF
holy baptism was administered.
That the church going people have
much to be proud OF is an assured
fact, for never in the history OF this
building has it been in such excellent
condition as now. The interior
decorations are of the finest work
manship, while the new memorial
windows are the choice productions
GLACIERS art. Each window contains
an individual design, while upon the
base is inscribed the donor or donors.
Those who names we note are: Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. Voetsch, Drs. ]. 0. and
w. A. Won Zellen, Mr.. and Mrs. Aug.
Menge and family, Thomas A. Taper,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Smith, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. R. Williams and family, Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas d. Tracy. Mr.. aud
Mrs. H.,J. Seifert, Mrs. Emma SEN
gebusch, Mr.. and Mrs. M. Hansen,
one in memory of Mrs. Julia Pen
mock, one in memory Of Rev. David
A. Curtis, and one presented by the
]. @. McKernan family.
The interior is finished in dark
green and gold and the combinations
are pleasing to the eye. A radical
change was also made in the position
and style OF the rostrum aud pulpit.
In addition to the donation of the
windows numerous pieces OF furni-
ture were given by members and at
tendants Of the church, which quickly
found prominent place within the
building.
A great amount OF credit is due to
the pastor for the results obtained,
he having supervised the entire work
with an eye to the welfare OF those
who had assisted financially to make
the church what it now is.
Aside from perhaps few dollars,
which will undoubtedly be raised be-
fore the end OF the week, the indebt-
edness on the church is practically
wiped out, and it is with feeling of
profound satisfaction that the mem
bers aud their friends may enjoy the
services held therein in the future.

FANG From a Fish,s Fins.

4. Curious little fans are made from
the pectoral fms Of the fish known ais
the sea robin. The sea robin is not
very large fish, but its pectorai fins
are large In proportion to its size, and
In nature they suggest fans from the;
manner in which the fish opens and
closes them. The pectoral fins Of the
smaller sea robins are marked with
brown, those of the larger fishes with
maroon, beautifully shaded. The fms
have many rays or ribs. In making a
fan the fin is first stretched ont on a
board to dry. A large fin will make q
fan about six inches in breadth. The
rays spread out in 1t, as the split ban-
boo strips do in japanese fan, ex-
cept that the rays are tapering, and
they are much slend erer and more dell
cate. When the fin is dry It is mount
ed as fan, and when it has been
thus completed It Is dipped in yarnish.
The yarnish not only brings out the
colors, but It serves also as pre-
seryative. Thus treated the fan WIN

THE LOST ATLANTIS.
Sn Ideal Land Where Man Had Reach

4 Sn Ideal Land Where Man Had Reach
Il ed Social Perfection. ,s
According to Plato, who was the
6rst to put the story on record, having
heard 1t from the Egyptian priests, At
iantis was an island In the Atlantic
ocean "over against the pillars OF Her
eules. 1t was larger than Asia and
Africa taken together and 5000 years
before his time was densely peopled by
a race rich, great and powerful. The do
minion extended over the greater part
of Africa and Europe, and their CON
quering progress was finally checked
only by the united resistance of the
Athenians and other Greeks.
In the course of time this great peo-
pie, this powerful nation, forgot its
greatness and Its power and turned
to wickedness and sin. Then there
came an earthquake, which lasted a
day and a night and was followed by
an inundation Of the sea. After that
nothing but slime and shoals remained
to mark the spot where Atlantis had
dourished.
This is the romantic story as told
by Plato. AS we have said, he got 1t
from the Egyptian priests. Where did
the priests get 1T? Was 1t purely Inn
aginary, or was 1t founded, as some
Of the stories Of mythology are, upon
thin foundation of fact? ..@
On this point both the ancient and
the modern writers have different
views. Some suppose that the exist
ence Of the island was really believed
In because the Phoenicians may have
visited the Canary islands or the
Azores; that the story of Atlantis
grew out OF their possible discovery.
Others think that 1t is the expression
Of vague belief by the ancients in
the existence Of the western herni-
sphere.
So far ais the origin OF the story
goes, we shall never perhaps know
more than we do now, but we have FOR
all time the beauty of the story itself
as showing what the poets OF an
tiquity conceived to be the ideal com
dition Of the human race
