Getting the Musical Pitch.

Musical pitch has a curious tendency
to creep up. 1t is said that Bachs
music sounds much differently now
from what it did when Bach wrote it
because the instruments are now
pitched higher. In 1882 it was found
that the pitch Of high A at the Vienna
Court Opera had crept from the pre-
scribed 435 double vibrations q second
to 443, and in 1885 this number had
further increased to $50 Accordingly
a musical conference was held, and a
resolution was taken to re-establish
the old pitch of 435 vibrations per
second. Upon this announcement the
Reichsanstalt, the imperial physical
and technical institute Of Germany,
set up standard instruments and has
since tested and corrected many hun
dreds Of tuning forks, shortening them
If they are too low in pitch and thin
ming the arms if they are too high. All
the military orchestras of Germany
are pitched alike, and the Reichsan-
stadt keeps the tuning forks correct.

ST. GATHERINGS Rock.

Opposite the ruins Of the old castle
at Tenby, and separated by a belt Of
sand which is covered twice a day by
racing tide, stands ST. GATHERINGS
rock, off the coast Of Wales. Until half
a century ago it was no more than
rock, with great caverns in its sides
and open passageways through it's mid
die above and under water. Then the
wisdom Of the British war Office de-
cided that it should protect Pembroke
docks, perhaps ten miles away by land
and thirty by sea, and on the top Of
the rock was built a fort. But when
the big guns were mounted it was
found that they could not be fired, for
they shook down the rock from the
arched passages and might have
shaken down the fort itself. So the
fort was dismantled and the guns re-
moved, and a year or two ago the
whole rock, fort and all, was sold for
a few hundred pounds to a private
owner, who uses it as a seaside house
for his holidays.-Argonaut.

OAKLEY DRUGGIST FINED
Judge Walters Policy With Reference
to BOOtlegging

EXcnanSc-
w. M. Warrington, an Oakley
druggist, was convicted in the dis
trict court at Albion last week on a
charge of selling liquor on an illegal
prescription and was sentenced to pay
a fine of $500 and costs. In passing
sentence Judge Walters said:
This is not ap ordinary bootleg
ging case. There was an attempt
made to comply with the law by the
defendant Worthington, but the pre-
scription was not in accordance with
the law and the defendant should
have known this. 1t is the intention
of the Court in the so-called bootleg
ging cases, where there is manifest
and brazen attempt to evade the law,
that Jail sentence be imposed In Of
lenses of that character, and as this
case does not appear to be that kind,
the Court does not feel that jail
sentence is imperative, but the Court
will impose the maximum fine OF five
hundred dollars and defendant will
pay all court costs. 1t is the duty
of the druggists of this county and
state to see to it that they do not
make saloons of their drugstores.
