Peaceful as a spring morning, with
a well filled grandstand, two sheriffi
and q marshal at hand, the Abilene.
Salina game was pulled off amid
smiles and cheers and the passing OF
loving cups. Indications are that the
two towns will become 80 thick In
their friendship henceforth that II
will be difficult to keep them from
visiting each other to death. Indeed
we should not be surprised to see
some day a consolidated city-"Sa-
lilene' or "Ablina." Great Is the
dove of peace and the specimen that
is floating over the Smoky Valley
is one of the most beautiful and ar
tistic now in existence.

Cause of Fire Unknown.

No clew to the cause of the fire
is held by the owners OF the
building or the tenants. The
blaze was first seen over the sec
ton of the drug store, wherein
the city scales were located. The
conhagration quickly spread to
the remainder of the building, the
McCrory side, being the last 10
burn. From the drug store, the
piano and show cases were saved,
and the accounts, and cash regis
ter of the grocery store, was all
that could be carried out before
the roof fell in with a crash, and
the inside of the rooms began to
blaze. The atmosphere was quiet,
or the fire might have been prop
ogated to nearby residences.
New Brick Structure.
Attorney l.. NJ. Lauer, who
with Nose Lauer. were the
pfoprietors of the building and
lot. stated to a representative OF
the Tribune Wednesday, that a
new brick structure would be
built on the lot. within the year,
and possibly soon. The new
building will either be of brick
or stone, and will be two stories
high. I'VE had intended said Mr.
Lauer to remove the frame build
ing next spring, and replace it
with a brick building. This fire
will probably hasten the con-
struction of the new building

Our Limited Scale Of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.
Between the vibrations that we call
electricity and the vibrations that we
call heat we imagine there must be
other vibrations filing up the gap, but
we do not know, simply because we
have no senses that can comprehend
them The spectrum is just such
little scale. Below the darkest red at
the lower end we cannot see; at the
other end as the vibrations get faster
and faster through the orange, the blue
and the violet is another unknown
gap-that is. we cannot see It. But
surely the vibrations are there. Some
Of them, for instance, that we have
never seen and never can see mark
their presence on q Photographic plate.
And this same spectrum may be used
as an analogy to describe spiritualistic
phenomena. Just as there are limits
at either end Of the scale Of vibrations
beyond which our own senses can tell
US nothing so may there be psychic
forces at work beyond the limits Of our
consciousness. These are seemingly
supernatural to US when we witness
their effect, but they really are no
more supernatural than the X ray that
