London, June 1o.-The horses for use
In the coronation procession are under

I am always rather chary of recon-
mending flute playing TO patients in Lon
don. It Is likely to keep them indoors
too much. II man has the courage to
SIT outside In the parks and play tho
flute, well and good, but 1t takes a boaA
man to do II.
The flute, however. is not a harsh or
noisy instrument and should not prove
objectionable to the neighbors If a man
played II in his back garden.
As for the sort of music to play? Well,
those slow, simple airs which are known
as plaintive not only suit the patient, but
suit the music of the flute as well.
The patient should lean back COM
fortably IN a chair and play the fiute In
an easy but uncramped position. When
the arms get tired he should rest, still
keeping up as far as possible the breath
ing which the flute playing demands"

wANTED-A PATRON SAINT.

Aviators Choose Ascension Day for
Their Fetes.
Paris, June 1o.-Airmen have no patron
saint yet. 1t is proposed in France that
Ascension Day should be chosen as their
fete patronale. 1t sounds like a joke to
make the choice by virtue Of a pun, but
It is really quite in accordance with
medieval precedents.
Already masons and brickiayers count
Ascension Day their fete patronale for
precisely the same reason. In order to
build houses they ascend ladders. What
is perhaps more curious Is that miners
and quarrymen also claim It as their
own.

London, June 10.-The flute is a medical

playing has precisely the correct action
on the lungs fof the benefit Of incipient

A prominent London specialist discloses
what may be called the theory Of the
unusual treatment.
IT would like It to be understood" he
said that I would not recommend flute
playing where there is any very active
mischief or where the disease is well ad-
vanced. Rest is necessary for the lungs
in such cases.
"Eut in cases where there is a weak
spot flute playing ought to be very bene-
fetal. The full inspirations Of the lungs

WOULD SEPARATE TAXES.
Governor Wants State and Local Lew
les Kept Riaidly Apart.

When Governor Osborn has named
the members of the commission of in
curry into taxation conditions i'm this
state. Il is probable that he will lay
before them as the particular thing he
desires investigating, the matter of a
separation of state and local taxes. 1t
is well understood that he believes
this should be brought as a means of
reducing the cost of collecting taxes,
eliminating friction over taxes and
lettering conditions both from state
standpoint and the counties as well.
other state officers are giving the
matter attention as we'll and il is pro-
bable that some definite line of action
towards the end proposed, will be be-
fore that legislature for consideration
within the next two years
Members of the legislature, when
the bill was up for consideration, which
provided for a commission of three
members To investigate taxation, asked
the question among themselves as to
why the governor had urged the estab-
lishment of such a body, forgetting
that i'm his inaugural message he re-
ferred to n separation Of state and To-
cal taxes as means of improved gov
eminent and a reduction of the cost.
In that measure Governor Osborn
said
There are n number of our states
that at the present time meet the
needs for state revenue solely through
specific taxation and that have no
need to resort to the circulation of our
Michigan tax system of levying a
state budget. apportioning it among
the county and primary assessment
districts with cumbersome and un-
equal equalization and expensive agen-
cies for collection, return and handling
Of delinquencies, etc. The states |
have referred to have effected COM
plete severance between the system of
state and local taxation to the very
decided advantage of both, and the re-
suits in most instances have been
brought about by the gradual increase
of the revenue realized by these states
through various forms of specific tax
