Sister Edith Sipe adopted by AS
pasta Rebekah Lodge No. BAL, l.
o. o. F.
The gates of death have again
opened and Sister Edith Sipe has
been admitted to that world
where sorrow and sadness can
never reign. Our sister has lain
down the burdens and cares Of
this world never again to take
them up. Death demanded a
shiningiewel, with which to adorn
the cold and silent tomb, and our
sister fell in the high noon OF her
life. Her life was but q vapor
which has vanished with the sun
OF the early morn, and yet,
though her life was short, we
were enabled TO feel It's influence,
as that influence made it's sci
felt in the meetings of onr Lodge.
She was ever loyal TO Friendship,
Love and Truth, and her death
deprives Us of one Of our most
faithful members.
WHEREAS, 1t has been pleasing
to the Supreme Ruler Of the UNI.
verse to call from our midst SIS
ter Edith Sipe, therefore be it:
Resolved, That we bow In hum
BILE and silent submission to the
will of HIM who apportions to
every man his time.
Resolved, That this Lodge ex-
tends itsdeepest sympathy to the
bereaved parents, brothers and
SISTERS In this hour Of anguish
and sorrow.
Resolved, That the charter of
the Lodge be draped In mourning
foi thirty days.
Resolved, That copy Of these
resolutions he attached to the
records of the Lodge, that q copy
be sent to the bereaved family of
our deceased sister and that they
be published In the newspapers

Man as q Bird.

The death of Delagrange aud
the injury on the same day Of two
other aeronauts, Santos Dumont
and the Baroness de Ia Roche,
the first woman to drive an aero
plane, leads the Engineering
Machine" to express its doubts
as to whether aviation, instead of
a common and useful method of
travel, will ever become more
than "a halr-raislng sport, like
Alpine climbing or tiger hunt
ing"
This journal may be altogether
wrong, just as the French Acad.
emy of Science was wrong ia its
pessimistic views of the future of
photography; and yet the dispas-
sionate observer of events cannot
help but note that the achieve
ments OF the aeroplane are solely
those which have been accom-
plished In the mastery hands of
their inventors or carefully train
ed disciples. 1t is no safe device
for the average adventurer. 1t
is all very well for the Wrights, a
Blerlot, Farman, or Paulhan,
to dare upwards In their one or
two-plane constructions, but that,
as yet, means very little.
The scientific word Is cautious
Of granting success to the aero.
plane. Man, as yet, is not an en-.
tirely successful bird. Never
theless, there Is q strong faith
and very widespread and conf.
dent belief that after these many
years of attempt and multiplied
failures man is about to achieve
the conquest OF the air.

A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and padding with hoofs of
goat
And breaking the golden lilies afoat
With the dragon fly on the river.
He tore out reed, the great god Pan,
From the deep, cool bed of the river;
The limpid water turb1dly ran,
And the broken lilies a-dying lay,
And the dragon fly had fled away,
Ere he brought it out of the river.
High on the shore sat the great god
Pan,
While turbidly flowed the river;
And hacked and hewed as a great god
can,
With his hard, bleak steel at the pa
tient reed,
Till there was not a sign of leaf in
To prove it fresh from the river.
He cut it short, did the great god Pan,
(How tall it stood in the riverD
Then drew the pith, like the heart of
Steadily from the outside ring,
And notched the poor dry empty thing
In holes, as he sat by the river
This is the way" laughed the great
god Pan,
Laughed while he sat by the river)
The only way, since gods began
To make sweet music, they could sue
ceed"
Then, dropping his mouth to hole in
the reed,
He blew in power by the river.
Sweet, sweet, sweet, 0 Pan!
Piercing sweet by the river!
Binding sweet, 0 great god PAM
The sun on the hill forgot to die,
And the lilies revived, and the dragon
fly
Came back to dream on the river
Yet half beast is the great god Pan,
To laugh as he sits by the river,
Making a poet out of a man;
The true gods sigh for the cost and
pain
For the reed which grows nevermore
again
AS a reed with the reeds in the river
