ton. Rev. Marion Humphreys deliv-
cred the sermon of the afternoon. TAX
ing as his theme the story of the
sheep and their shepherd. He especi-

danger of following blindly the crowd,
getting into dangerous places and in
scenes of temptation.
These services will be held every
Sunday afternoon at 5 O'Clock until the
first Sunday in September. Next Sun
day the song sheets will be ready and
there will be vocal music and two cor
nettists to assist in the service.

On the other hand, Lunardi undoubtedly saved one mans life, a jury bringing in Q vesdict of not guilty on a notorious hlghwayman in order that they. the prisoner and the judge who was trying the case might rush out of eourt to see the balloon.

Flying by Machinery.

Flying by machinery, like musical
notation and many another epoch max
ing circumstance, owes its inception
to the cloister and the cowl. The prin-
ciple and idea of the balloon was first
formed by Albert Of Saxony. an Au-
gustine recluse of the fourteenth cen
tury Then the theory of construction
was taken up and enlarged upon by
francesca Mendoza, Portuguese
Jesuit. who died in 1926. And lastly,
bartholomew de Guzmao, formerly a
candidate for the priesthood, demon
strated the possibility Of flying by
airships and foretold great successes
for the future. Toward the end of the
eighteenth century two men named
Charles and Roberts made balloon
with the longest side parallel to the
horizon Their wings were Of the
shape of an umbrella without the han
die, to the top of which a stick was
fastened parallel to the aperture Of the
umbrella. Five of these were disposed
round the car. On finding themselves
in a dead calm they tried the effect
of their oars and discovered that in
thirty-fve minutes they had covered
5000 feet. Balloons were first used
in war as long ago as 1894. when Guy
ton de Morveau made two ascents and
obtained important information during
the battle of Fleurus. Their next APP
pearance was during the battle Of
Solferino in 1859, and two years later
the Federal army employed them near
Washington, while their use for con-
veying the mail bags out of besieged
Paris is well known.-Chicago News.

whsn We Were All renors.

The primitive inhabitants of Europe
were all tenors. Their descendants OF
the present time are baritones, and fu-
ture generations will have semibass
voices. The voice has tendency to
deepen with age. The tenor of twenty
becomes the baritone Of twenty-eight
and the bars of thirty-six. The inferior
races have higher pitched voices than
the more cultured. The negro has
higher voice than the white man.
Among white races the fair complex
toned man has a higher voice than his
darker skinned brother. The former Is
usually a baritone or a tenor, the lat
ter a contralto or bass. 1t is asserted
that tenors are usually of slender
build, whereas BASES are stout, but
there are too many exceptions to such
a rule for 1t to be reliable. The same
remark applies to the statement that
thoughtful men have deep toned voices,
and vice versa. The tones Of voice
are perceptibly higher before than aft
err a meal, for which reason tenors are
generally careful not to sing too soon
after dinner.-Pearson's Weekly.
