NAZIMOVA COMES THIS WEEK

COMES THIS WEEK
Playing the character parts of
|"Nora," in "a Dolls House and
Nina" in "Comtesse Coquette,"
Madame Nazimova comes to the
Tacoma theater Friday and Satur-
day nights. The famous Russian
ACTRESS comes to Tacoma after
|charming large audiences in every
large city of practically every
state of the union. That she will
conquer this city is a fore-known
fact rather than an unsubstantial
prediction.
To put theatergoers at their
ease and incidentally to teach
them something in Russian pro-
Inounciation, it is we'll to mention
that Nazimova's name is not pro-
nounced "Na-zo-mo-va" with the
accent on the mo" but is given
as "Na-eem-o-vath," accenting the
"zeem." The latter pronuncia-
ton is the one used by the actress
herself, and the one which she
says is correct.

INDIAN GIRL WOULD PRODUCE
GREATEST AMERICAN PLAY

IT want to produce the one
great American drama"
This is the ambition of Emma
Rainey, a full-blooded Indian girl,
ia Carlisle graduate, at present just
graduating from vaudeville.
Should she realize her ambition,
would it not be particularly fitting
that the creator of a distinctively
American production, essentially
and entirely the one great story of
the American people, should be
one in whose veins flows he blood
of the race that inherited the land
from Nature herself?
81 am going to study, oh, so
hard" says Miss. Rainey, "and ]
feel that the day is near at hand
when 1 can live over again to the
people of this anton the one splen-
did story that will shine above
everything else as the genuine
American play"
This strange girl of the race
which civilization has conquered
is highly educated, extremely tai
ented and sees in the stage only
a gvand opportunity to prepare for
the day when she will be hailed
as the greatest Of them all.

THREATENED
WITH ARREST

Councilman John M. Bell OF
the second ward, will probably be
arrested late this afternoon or to-
morrow morning by the city police
charged with driving his automo-
bile at an excessive rate of speed
yesterday. The information
against the councilman was
brought to the Central Station this
morning by Officer Mccormick of
the Sixth avenue beat.
Mccormick reported that Bell
sped out Sixth avenue between 5
and o'clock yesterday afternoon
at rate of speed not less than
rs or 80 miles per hour.
Captain Reed of the police
force stated this morning: 1T
makes no difference whether the
man is a councilman or not, so far
as l am concerned. He was break
ing the law, according to the state
ments of the policeman, and
ments of the patrolman and should
be prosecuted. Nevertheless,
will only carry out the chiefs or
ders in the matter. and he has not
told me what to do as yet"
Chief Duley, when asked IL he
would order Councilman Bells ar
rest, said: 81 don't know any
thing about the case yet, but If he
was exceeding the speed limit he
Is Just as liable to arrest as any
one else"

HOW NATURE
DECEIVES US

Our senses deceive us curious1y
lat times. A flash of lightning
lights up the ground for one-mil-
ionth of second, yet is seems
Ito last ever so much longer.
What happens is that impress
sion remains in the eye or the
retina for about one-eighth of a
second, or $4,000 times as long
|as the flash lasts. II on a dark
might a train speeding along at
so miles an hour is lit up by
la lightning flash, it appears sta
|tionary, yet in the eighth of a
second during which we seem to
lsee it the train travels IL feet.
But we really only see 1t dur
ing one-millionth of a second, and
in that time it travels only one
Ihun,lredth of. an inch.
When a mans leg is cut off, II
the stump be irritated. he feels
the pain in his toes. The curious
deception is the same as. anyone
can practice on himself by strik-
ing his elbow on the table, when
he feels the pain in his fingers
lOf course, in both cases, the pain
lis felt in the brain.
We do not actually. perceive
different distances with the eye
but Judge them from various in
|dications. When our Judgment Ii
lat fault we are deceived. If You
see a person in fog, for instance
he seems to be much bigger than
usual. The same thing happens
when you see men or cattle on
the top OF big hill against the
horizon in the twilight. In both
cases you Judge them to be fur
Their away than they really are
and consequently they appear UNI
commonly large.

According to Mr.. Spalding's sta

there appears to be a remarkable
connection between earthquakes,
sun spots and the motions of Jupi-
ter. This planet is enormously
larger than the earth. 1t is the
largest of the bodies that revolve
Rbout the sun and to complete one
revolution takes IL years. During

the change occurs, when the sun

The expense of sending the balloon

There would be little to be gained

ably seated. There was a fine or

almost a genius as a director. The

men was about as good as one sees
at the Primrose & West minstrels.
There was a peculiar wit and path

There was plenty of fun and mu-
sic of the best class, showing that
there are a great many men of talent
and culture behind the prison walls.
There were plenty of street cars at
the close of the concert. The Off

LATE JOSEPH ALBRICH

the public men of three generations.
He was a factor in Oregon politics
and probably welded more influence
than many men who occupied
much higher positions. He knew
his place, and yet inspired confidence
among the first men of the state,
many of whom came to rely on his
counsel and sturdy good judgment
After he had been in Salem fYe
years he made the journey back to
the mountains of his beloved Tyrol'
and brought back the sweetheart OF
his youth as his wife. Loyalty and
steadfastness were the characteris-
tics of his nature. He was true to
his principles under all circum-
stances, and took broad humanitar-
ian and essentially democratic views
of life, One of the happiest mo-
ments Of his life was being made an
honored platform guest at the Tyro-
lese centennial of liberty celebration
held at Salem August 20, last, when
he helped sing the songs and pay
tribute to the heroes of his native
land. His life will long be held in
loving memory by all who knew him.
