Of the Flames.

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 11.-Every fire.
fighter that can be mustered is being
sent out to check fires and locate bod
les in the burned area.
Fires are still burning in every d.
rection, making progress into Mani
tOba. Canadian Northern bridges and
culverts are burned out and wires are
down.
All the way from Beaudette and
Rainy River west to Warroad, a dis
lance of fifty miles, is solid mass of
flames. Beaudette is only charred
remnant of town. Spooner is wiped
off the map. Cedar Spur, Graceton,
Pitt, Swift and Roosevelt, mere ham,
let's, are burned to the ground. Every
settler in a district bounded by
Rainy River and Lake of the Woods
on the north to twenty-five miles south
of Fort Francis, Ont, and from
Spooner and Beaudette on the east to
Warroad on the west who is not &C.
counted for is dead, according to the
most conservative information.
No one now estimates the dead at
less than 200 and estimates run as
high as the appalling total of 1000.
Probably that is too high, but it is
certain that the dead will reach close
to 500.
Nine dead bodies we're seen on the:
Canadian Northern tracks by women
who mounted horses and fed down
the railway. Four unknown dead are
in the roothouse west of Pitt, includ-
ing one man, two women and baby.
-Four railway men went through the
burned bridge between Pitt and Beau

wick, a homesteader; Mike Beaver,
Kate" woman homesteader known
by her first name only, and three un-
known men are dead at Beaudette.
Seven settlers up the Beaudette river
and eleven settlers between Rapid
river and Beaudette are dead. The
bodies were found on the logging road
by fleeing refugees.

The Symphony.

Probate Judge.

no symphony
The symphony was the result Of
growth rather than a direct creation.
It grew in proportion as instruments
came. The direct form leading to the
symphony was the sonata of the seven
teenth century. Then came the con-
certo, invented by Joraln. who employ
ed the ordinary string quartet and the
solo instrument. Wind instruments
were later added, and finally the in
strumental parts were doubled, and
thus a real approach was made toward
the symphony, the great tone epics of
Haydn. Mozart and Beethoven. The
musicians generally associated with
this formative time are Gossec, Joeske,
Vanhall and Bach, with Gossec in the
van.-New York American l.l.,
