ADJUSTMENTS
Sousa's Band to Appear at The Colonial
in the Near Future.

According to, John Philip Sousa only
one per cent of the persons interested in
music-composer and executants-have
genius. The.leader of the famous Sousa
Band makes the statement that the
musical profession is overcrowded with
what he terms mechanics
They form seventy-fve per cent of the
whole engaged in music" declared Sousa
few days ago and who will soon be
present in this city with his musicians to
be heard in concert. Fifteen per, cent
probably will cover those who have a
certain adaptability to music, and nine
per cent will include those who have
talent.
''The trouble appears in the ignorance
concerning music. While it is the univer-
sal language it is the subject of all sub
jects in which there is little knowledge,
and, as we all know, a little knowledge
is dangerous thing"

BoNNETT DIDN'T FLY.
Made Balloon Ascension Saturday but
Aeroplane Would Not Work at
The Fair Grounds.

Prof G. C. Bonnet is certainly
working in hard luck this season.
Last Thursday, the day he advertised
his exhibition at the fair grounds
the weather was so bad he could not
do anything he wanted to and no
one would face the weather if he was.
Undaunted however, he put up
notices that he would give his exhibit
ton on Saturday afternoon and
about 1000 people were on hand to
see him make his last ascension in
a balloon and his first in an aero
plane.
He did make a good ascension in
the balloon and went up about A.,
900 feet, one of the highest ascen-
sions he has made in recent years.
He also made the slide for life which
was all the hearts of the crowd could
desire. But at the time he advertis-
ed to start his aeroplane he did not
start There was something wrong
and though he worked until dark and
the crowd waited and watched he
was unable to make a start.
Hefhen invited the people to come
again on Monday afternoon when
he would make another effort. He
was there but the engine was not in
working order and again he had to
announce his failure to make an as
cension. He thinks the engine was
injured internally in the fall he re-
Gently had with his machine and
Monday night thought he would have
to send it to the factory for repairs.
