THERE'LL Be SIX MORE !.
WEEKS OF WINTER COLD
Grounding Would Have Seen His
Shadow, Today, Had He Been
Out "Rubbering." Sd. ..

Today Mr.. Groundhog held the
boards as the weather prognosticator
supreme and the weather bureau at
Washington, which made such a
complete fizzle of it's long distance
predictions last week, Professors
Foster, Hicks and the other weather
prophets, as we'll as the oldest
inhabitants" were relocated to the
rear.
Bemidji people are not any more
superstitious than the average of
mankind, but without any exceptions
we were interested in the ground
hogs opinion of the weather today.
The grounding or woodchuck is
endowed with the happy and very
convenient faculty of being able
to bridge over the cold frozen
stages of winter in a prolonged
and peaceful slumber known as
Information.
According to tradition, the
grounding sometimes facetiously
called "sausage") in coming out
February 2 always looks for the sun;
and if he can see his shadow, the
prognosticator (who is suspected as
being also something of a prevari-
cator) goes back into his hole, pulls
the hole in after him and takes
another forty winks. six weeks of
winter succeeding his appearance, so
it's said.
If the hog" appeared today after
g, he would have had no trouble to
have seen his shadow; as the weather
has been clear, with "Old SOILS" rays
beating down in midsummer fash
ion.
If you believe in the habits of
groundhogs, look out for SIX more
weeks of winter.

a Coin Trick.

Rub a coin against smooth, upright
surface for little while, then press it
hard and take your hand away from 1t.
You will be surprised perhaps to SEQ
this coin stick to the wood. The rea-
son is that in rubbing the coin over the
wood and then pressing it hard, you
drive out all the air between the two
objects, and the pressure of the at
mosphere keeps the coin in it's place.

Cherry, ILL.,, Feb. 2.-The st. Paul
mine, in which upwards Of $50 miners
lost their lives in November, has been
opened for the first time in two months
and within few hours it is expected
that most of the 200 dead bodies which
still remain buried in the depths will
have been brought to the surface.

scended to the second level, $50 feet
underground, and returned safely. The
temperature proved satisfactory and
the whole lid was torn off preparatory
to an entry to the levels.

The Antiquity of the Organ.

The organ is the most magnificent
and comprehensive of all musical in
struments. While the pipes Of Pan,
aside from that mythical parsonage,
indicate a very ancient use of pipes as
a means of producing musical sounds,
the water organ Of the ancients" fur
nishes to the student of organ history
the first tangible clew regarding the
remote evolution of the instrument.
In the second century the magrlpha,
an organ of ten pipes with crude
keyboard, is said to have existed. but
accounts of this instrument are In
yolved in much obscurity. 1t is aver
red that an organ, the gift of Con-
stantine, was in the possession of King
Pepin of France in 757, but Aldhelm,
monk, makes mention of an organ
with "gilt pipes" as far back as the
year 700

The Little Things That Tell.

for a tea the other afternoon when the

the maid that if the visitor appeared
to be about to make formal call to

mother had not counted on the 5-year-
old daughter playing in the front
yard.
The maid, seeing woman dressed
as If for calling, obeyed instr ctions.
..She is not at home" the maid said.
"Why, she is, too, Minnie came a
sharp interruption from the child on
the lawn. II saw her lower the cur
tain just now"
Perhaps she Just came in," the
maid responded weakly. "Pll see."
The situation was saved by the fact
that the visitor was the mothers sis

A Bernhardt Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
we'll as an actress, was recently called
upon in one of her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role of sculptor,
and to model certain bust in view OF
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap,
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it is
placed damp clay of the same color
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

WOMAN MAY BE CANDIDATE
Name May Appear on Ballot, but e.
igibity to Hold Office Not
Decided.

Madison.-Attorney General F. L.
Gilbert has decided that Mary Ander-
son had the right to have her name
appear on both the primary and regu-
lar election ballots as candidate for
the office of county treasurer of Pc
pin county.
The attorney general, however,
held that the question whether a
woman is qualified to hold. the Of
fee of county treasurer after she is
elected should be deceived by the
courts.
The decision was given at the re-
quest of w. E. Plummer, district
attorney of Pepin county.
The opinion also is given that a
child under 16 years old may not
strip tobacco in his home without
violation of the state law, and that
children under IA years old may not
work III printing shops nor carry
messages into factories, though they
may work in offices under certain
conditions.
The child labor decisions were at
the request of J. d. Beck, state labor
commissioner.
