Miss Sybella Clayton's Berlin Debut.

H0MAS Z. Giles, a Salt Lake boy
= studying the piano in Germany,
has written from Berlin in interesting
account Of Miss Sybella Clayton's re-
cent debut, at the German capital:
Miss Sybella Clayton was given q
great ovation on the evening OF her
Berlin debut. AS is we'll known by
all in touch with Salt Lake musical ar
fairs, Miss Clayton appeared on Feb,
25, with the Philharmonic orchestra
Of Berlin, playing three great works
paniment. These We're the Tchaiko-
wsky, Concerto No. ], in b flat min
or the Caesar Frank symphonic
Na~riations.. INC the List concerto
No. i IN E fiat. The orchestra under
DR.. Kunwald, had Il worthy partner for
the evenings entertainment. and she
certainly acquitted herself with credit,
as also did the orchestra. the peer OF
anything on the continent. The house
was we'll filled. For a slightly built
young woman to engage in battle with
a band of 65 men, is no small under
taking, and to successfully cope with
them in three such colossal and diff
ticult compositions, is n feat of which
any pianist may well be proud. The
TchaikoWsky concerto is the most per-
feet example of the modern orchestral
tyne, and there Is a struggle between
| piano and orchestra from beginning TO
end. After the close of this number.
Herr Kant, the manager Of the Wolff
Concerto bureau, went TO the artists
room, and before Miss Clayton's teach
er, Sr.9 Jonas. and the orchestra con
ductor, warmly congratulated her on
her achievement.
I'll expressed establishment that such
a wee slip Of a girl could master such
heavy works and play them with the
broad tone she rave them. Herr Kant
has several such affairs under his di-
rection every week, but he remarked
this was m of the surprises of his
life. Conductor Kunwald was even
more enthusiastic, and wished to hear
Miss Clayton in other works for Or
chestra and piano, as well as solo
work, with the idea of having her

of the philharmonic orchestra, three of

NOT A PERFECT MACHINE.

The human body as n machine is
far from perfect, says DR.. Woods
Hutchinson. In the Dclienator. II can
be beaten or surpassed at almost
every point by some product of the

does nothing perfectly or with abso-
lutte precision.
As Huxley remarked a score OF
years ago: IF a manufacturer OF op-
teal instruments were TO hand ua for
laboratory use an instrument so fun
or defects and imperfectlons as the
human eye, we should promptly de.
cline to accept II and return IL 10 him.
But, he went On TO say, while the
eye IL inaccurate ~ a microscope, i'm

In other words, like the body. while
II does nothing accurately ana perfect

balances all these minor defects OF
being able 10 adapt itself to almost
every conceivable change of circum-
stances.
This is the keynote Of the surviving
power of the human species, 1t is not
enough that the body should be pre-
pared to do good work under ordinary
conditions, but It must be capable, II
