Cities That Do Things.

Up north Of the international bound
ary line something very like revolu-
tion is in progress And it is none the
less revolutionary because it lacks the
noise and fury which accompany toe
spinning of the squirrel cage far othe
South. Very quietly and with a GER
tain grim determination the people OF
Canada are moving steadily forward on
new--and in some cases-startling lines.
To the radical the Canadian policy Of
public ownership and control may serve
as hope and inspiration; to the con,
servative as a warning and n menace;
but to every man of intelligence it
must he a matter Of keen interest
Putting into practical use many Of the
teachings Of socialist, they utterly deny
any sympathy with socialism. Adopting,
as do some Of their largest cities, the
single tax on land values. they declare
they are no disciples of Henry George
Boosting themselves pure democracy
and recognizing the voice Of the people
as the supreme law, they swear willing
allegiance to King George Of England
And all these apparent Inconsistencies
only add to the compelling interest
which must always attach TO the spec
tacle OF new empire in the making,

thousand people. nearly four hundred
miles north OF st. Paul. is one of the
leaders in the new movement for MAX

years the city has owned and operated
its water works plant, street lighting
system, municipal stone quarries and
unique among the cities OF America
an asphalt plant where the material for
laying and repairing street pavements is
produced Now, taking another great
step forward, Winnipeg is approaching
the completion OF great hydro-electric
power plant, publicly owned adm ca
pable of producing a maximum of sixty
thousand horse power, per year
The plant is being built and will be
completed next spring at Point Du Bots,
sixty miles from the city, where the
Winnipeg river drops over a fall of
thirty-three feet The city has pur-
chased a right -of-way one hundred and
fifty feet wide and sixty mikes long
leading direct to the plant. II has also
purchased a quantity of land lying just
outside the city limits, and ct present

The First Fire.

Filched from Olympus hoary sire

FLYING IN DREAMS.
Common In Childhood-The Sensation of

Common In Childhood-The Sensation of
Flight-Just Precedes Death.
The sensation of flying is one of the
earliest to appear in the dreams Of
childhood. It seems to became less fire.
quent after middle age. Beaunis states
that in his case it ceased at the age
Of fifty. 1t is sometimes the last SEN
sation at the moment of death
To rise, to fall, to glide away mas
often been the last conscious sensation
recalled by those who seemed to be
dying but have afterward been brought
back to life. Pieron has noted this SEN
sation at the moment of death in
number Of cases, Usually accompanied
BY sense OF well being. The cases
he describes were mostly tuberculosis
and included individuals of both sexes
and with atheistic as we'll as religious
beliefs
In all the last sensation to which ex-
preston was given was one Of flying,
Of moving upward In some, death was
peaceful in others painful In one case
q girl died elasping the iron bars Of
the bed, in horror OF being borne up
ward
Pieron associates this sensation with
the similar sensation Of rising and float
ing in dreams and with that of moving
upward aud resting on the air expert
enced by persons in the ecstatie state
In all these cases alike, life is being
concentrated in the brain and central
organs, wnile the outlying districts Of
the body are becoming numb and dead
Dream flight, it is necessary to note,
is not usually the sustained flight of a
bird or an insect. and the dreamer rare
IL or never imagines that he is borne
high into the air. Hutchinson states
that of all those whom ne has asked
about the matter hardly one has ever
known himself to make any high sights
in his dreams One almost always flies
low, with a skimming manner, slightly,
Int only slightly, above the heads Of
pedestrians.
Beamis from his own experience
describes a typical kind OF dream flight
a. series of light bounds at one or
two yards above the earth, each bound
clearing from ten to twenty yards, the
dream being accompanied by delicious
sensation of ease and movement rs well
as lively satisfaction at being able
to solve the problem Of aerial locomo-
ton by virtue OF superior organization
alone.
Lafeadio Hearn somewhat similarly
describes in his "Shadowings" a typical
and frequent dream of his own as
series Of bounds in long, parabolic
curves rising to a height of some TWEEN
ty-ive feet and always accompanied by
the sense that a new power had been
revealed which for the future would he
a permanent possession. Atlantic

Cool Thief Attacked Woman
Ticket Seller
AND GOT AWAY WITH LOOT
He Told Her That the Transit System
Owed Him Money and He Was
Only Taking Measures
to Collect.

New York, Oct. 25.-"The B. r. T..
owes me money, and EN- acting as my
own collecting agency" pleasantly re-
marked a young man to Mrs. Mary
Reidy, ticket agent at the Linwood sta
ton Of the city line, East New York,
at o'coek yesterday morning.
Then he seized the young woman
about the waist with one arm, holding
her in a grip she could not break, al
though she struggled frantically,
screaming at the top Of her voice and
scratching his face, With the other
hand he calmly took the money out Of
the money drawer and transferred it
to his pockets
The only person who heard the
screams of the woman was confederate
Of the collector" who stood eoolly
smoking a cigarette near the entrance
to the station to give warning if any
one approached.
When the money drawer had been
emptied, the robber loosed mis- hold on
the woman. and throwing IS package
of nickels on the shelf, said;
you will need these to make change
for your passengers. Very sorry TO
have annoyed YOU but we captains of
industry cannot always observe the
amenities. Please inform the b. r. I,
that the sum | collected does not cover
the full amount Of their Indebtedness to
me, but / will credit them with the
collection as soon as / make an inven-
tory Good morning"
The two men ran lightly down the
stairs and disappeared Mrs Reidy
sprang to the telephone and called the
headquarters of the b. r. T. on Clinton
street, and they in turn notified the po-
lice
When the bluecoats reached the spot
they found no one except the weeping,
nervous ticket agent She said the men
got $24,s5, and the only description she
could give of them was that both wore
dark clothes, and each had black mus
tache, She said they came into the
station just as train pulled out.

The Brain Fits Itself to Physical Needs

Every new demand Of civilization
makes a new call upon the brain, and
Just as the physique of animals and
men has been modified to meet varying
physical conditions Of climate and Of
maintenance, it developes faculties and
powers to meet these fresh calls of a
more complex life, says Orison SWEET
Marden In Success Magazine"
The brain is modified by its condition
Of activity, the motives which actuate
il and the conditions which the individ-
ual has to meet. The brain Of the man
who leads strenuous life in a great
city is very different from that evolved
by a quiet life on a farm. The great
multiplicity Of suggestions constantly
held in the mind IN the city life tend
to a mote diverse development Of brain
power. The city man thinks quicker.
bis movements are quicker, his perep-
tons are sharper because 81 the com
plexity and urgency Of the demands up
on him, so that be is really a different

HOW DALzElL MAY LOSE.
GOT BIGGEST VOTE IN DIS
PUTED DISTRICT.
Question if Voters Were Entitled to
Cast Their Ballots There
or Elsewhere.

P1TTSBURG, Pa. June S.-Dr r. j.
Black of Mckeesport, who OPPOSED Rep
resentative John Dalzell for the republic
an nomination in the thirtieth district
has flied a contest with the county COM
missioners. holding that the vote cast in
the territory lying between the Mononga-
hela and Youghiogheny rivers should not
be counted, because the new apportion-
ment act passed by the last legislature
places the debatable ground, triangular
in shape, in both the thirtieth and the
thirty-second congressional districts.
Mr.. Dalzell carried this district by $40
votes. AS the best obtainable unoficial
returns give Mr.. Dalzell victory by ss6
votes, he would be defeated If Black
contention is sustained and these $40
counted for him OR thrown out altogether.
Clerk Failed to Certify.
The clerk of the house OF representa-
tives failed to certify to but one Of two
amendments to the apportionment act
Originally the bill put the disputed terri
tory in the thirty-second district. Dali
zell supporters objected and two amend
ments were made, one changing the Dali
zell district and the other the thirty
OnQ QlStrlcl. Only one OF tQeSe were In
serted in the bill, and as it was signed by
Gov. z. s. Stuart 1t leaves the southern
boundary Of the Dalzell district as the
Monongahela river, while the northern
boundary of the thirty-second district in
reading of the bills is the Monongahela
and Youghogheny rivers.

when the question was raised once before
the county commissioners had the ballots
for this territory printed to come within
