many people who are always coming
TO God with requests but who do not

Bright Lights" Are Good.

From the moment that Pianist
Doty touched the first chords of
the accompaniment and Violinist
Hearne swung into tuneful violin
solo, until the curtain went down
on that laughable farce, The Man
That Looks Like Me-" there was
not moment when the audience
lost interest or when the perform
ance was not enjoyable.
Manager Jolliffe has undoubtedly
secured high-claSs of performers
for his 1905 Bright Lights. and
they we'll deserved the large
audiences which greeted them on
Wednesday and Thursday nights
The attendance was greater by at
least one hundred than ut any
previous appearance of this pop-
ular company.
Among the stellar attractions
with the Bright Lights this season
car be mentioned +. l.. Doty. who
is piano player of more than or
binary merit; Joseph A. Hearne
viollnlst, whose musical ability and
technique are of the highest char
acter; Harry and Ruth Orville
who present some of the best
specialties seen here in many DAYS:
Baby Dorothy CULLEN, the dimin-
utive prima donna-ingenue; Lon
and Ethel CULLEN. the elastic duo.
whose agility; suppleness high
kicking and contortion work are
marvellous; Tonnette and Elsa
Poloh, the two best dancers and
singing character delineators ever
seen here, who make some of the
most rapid changes of costume and
character possible; Cupid" John
son, the only genuine negro
character delineator, and others.
This is the eighteenth consecu-
tive season of the Bright Lights.
and is certainly far ahead of any
of its predecessors.

MAGIC MIRRORS.
Peculiar Effects In Some of the Pol

Peculiar Effects In Some of the Pol
ished Bronze Refleetors.
Now and then mirrors Of n curious
kind are seen In Europe. They are
called magic mirrors" and are OF Jap
anese origin. made not Of glass silver
ed. but of cast bronze, polished on the
face and bearing on the back raised
patterns, inscriptions, symbolical de-
signs. crests or pictures. When ex.
posed to bright beam of light from
the sun or from an electric lamp they
reflect in the light from their polished
face the image of the pattern on their
backs.
This is purely optical property and
has OF course nothing in common with
the fortune telling magic crystals of
the astrologer or the alleged magic
mirrors Of necromancy, yet it long puz-
zled the scientific optician and even
now is little known or believed. The
researches of various scientific men
have established the fact that the Dhe-
nomenon is due to very minute differ
ences OF curvature in the polished face.
dlnerences so minute that they do not
anect the ordinary use Of the mirror
as looking glass and that can be de-
tected only by delicate optical tests.
The only remaining mystery has
been as to how these delicate differ
ences of curvature were produced in
exact correspondence to the pattern on
the back. The makers themselves are
often In ignorance OF the magic prop
crty and do not know which of their
mirrors possess it and which do not.
The mirrors are cast In molds and aft
erward polished by hand. and 1t is
hello by scientific men that the differ
ence of curvature is caused by the met
ais yielding unequally under that pres
sure OF the tools used in scraping and
polishing, the thin parts naturally
bending more than the thick. This ac
counts for the mirrors becoming
magic.-Chicago News.

which is called annually to nom

In their hands.
At the annual mass meeting
which dominates Town Ocffiers
every man who has a vote in the
Corporation should attend, and
should give his careful considera-
ton to the names presented as
nominees for Office.
There are six qualifications
which, we think. should be possess
ed by every man who holds an
official position in the Town:
he should be a successful bust
ness or professional man: he should
have a deep and abiding pride in
the Town; he should so arrange
his personal affairs that he can at
tend every meeting of the Town
Officers and take part in their
deliberations; he should be prompt
to give the other Town Officers the
benefit of his professional or tech
nical knowledge upon subjects
which pertain to the Improvement
or welfare of the Town: he should
feel that the successful completion

velopment will rebound to his

ELECTRIC PLANT A SUCCESS

The COURIER rejoices to know
that the business of the Winchester

less than one year that it will have
to double It's capacity in order In

we expressed the belief then that
the project would be a success from
every viewpoint.

industries now operated by power
from our plant are the works of
