THE NATIONAL OPERA COM.
PANY TONIGHT At THE
AUDITORIUM

The National Opera Company has
selected "The Bohemian Girl" and
Fra Diavol0' as re two most pop
ular operas in their repertoire to
be presented at the Auditorium.
These two operas rank among the
highest class of light opera and
border so strongly on the realms of
grand opera that there is little d.
viding line betwee. The company,
composed of Aida Hemmi, James
Stevens, Elba Seabrooke. Frank
Preisch, Maurice Darcy, Charles
Cotuers, and the grand opera
chorus, costumed with the richest
materials and each opera embel-
lished with specia. scenery and
electrical effects, will mark the visit
of the company as a musical event
to be remembered.

precipitous road to the top; and
when the time came for closing the
Hold to those who had no way of
navigating the air, Mr.. Shayne had
built across them immense dams,
using materials biased from the
mountain sides at such places as to
render quite unscalable every place
where ascent might have been pos
sible before. The STEPPED preci-
pices thus carried across the ra-
vines in masonry made a lofty wall
entirely around the mountain. The
water filled up the abyss behind the
dams; and thus, where roads had
been, were now deep lakes, stocked
with fish, and cruised over by every
craft which sail or oar or motor
might fit for ministry to luxury and
pleasure.
The dams furnished electricity to
light and heat the Hold, and to pro-
pei its vehicles. Every effect that

headed by the Four Bard Brothers,
without doubt the greatest aero

young men are real brothers, essay
and accomplish series of acrobatic
feats the like of which were never
before seen in Spokane. Their work
is mostly along the line of arm bal

the nature in Spokane. but nothing

Curiosities Of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height Of
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress Of the land and sea. her
people worshiped black bull. There
was some discrimination. however,
even in this form Of worship. In order
to be an object of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with circular white spot in the ex
act center Of his forehead. and the
advent Of such a creature in any herd
was the signal Of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
of the Lybian desert. Even as late as
the time of Cleopatra. star eyed god
dess, glorious sorceress of the Nile,
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal. Herodotus tells of a man who
died with grief because he sold COW
that soon after became the mother of u
black bull calf marked with the sacred
white circle in his forehead.

Lead Pencil Experiments.

An English statistician was asked
how many words could be written
with an English lead pencil. and. be
ing determined to answer it. he bought
a lead pencil and SCOTS 'Ivanhoe"
and proceeded to copy the latter word
by word He wrote 95.6OS words and
then was obliged to stop. for the pen
Gil had become SO short that he could
not use it. A German statistician who
heard of this experiment was dissat-
isfied with it because all the lead in
the pencil was not used on the work.
and therefore he bought pencil and
started to copy long German novel.
When the pencil was so short that he
could not handle it with his fingers
he attached q holder to it. and it is
said that he wrote with this one pen
Gil 100000 words. Possibly. however,
his pencil was longer or the lead in
it was Of more durable quality.

now a matter of history. Altogether
about three hundred horses were sold
and in every respect the sale fulfilled
the fondest anticipations of its prOmot-

The financial success Of the sale is
known to have been exceptionally good
but the amount of the dividends to be
declared and the total amount which
changed hands had not been determin-
ed at noon. At this mornings sale
but two horses sold for high prices.

sold for 800. 1t was owned by Charles

to Eastern firms. The other horses
put upon the block includes those
which had been turned back by dissat-
isfied buyers. colts, mares with colts
and other animals. in which little value
is placed. However, there were a
number of buyers present who were
willing to take a bargain in even this
class.
