old bride-to-be to Probate Judge
Anderson's desk this afternoon.

the law for me to marry anyone
under age without the consent of
the parents"
Yes, but judge-mother doesn't

well, I'll have to have her con-
sent first before marry you two,"
continued Mr.. Anderson.
Just then the hopeful groom re-
ceived an Inspiration. Suppose we
call her over the phone" he said.
The Judge did that very thing and
20 minutes after the call was turned
in Miss Dorothy Goodall and Ray
Weis, both Of salina, were husband
and wife.
When asked why they came to
Abilene to be married the bride said:
"oh, we didn't want SO many people
to know about it. But l guess 1t |
doesn't make any difference as ev-
sryone seems to know all about 1t
already"
The groom purchased a box OF
'igars at Abilene and about half the
igars were given away before the
Ifternoon train pulled out for Salina.

Teleohone Voice.

The voice heard over the tele-
phone is mechanical reproduction
Of the original voice and differs from
that of a speaking tube or megaphone,
where the sound waves produced by
the speaker at one end are transmit
ted directly to the other end. In the
telephone the diaphragm Of the trans
mitter IS caused to vibrate by the
sound waves produced by some one
talking into the transmitter mouth
piece. This diaphragm is connected
with a small, receptacle having a fex-
ible front and partially filed with
granular carbon. This carbon offers
resistance to electric current in pro
portion to the mechanical pressure
brought upon it. The diaphragm, thsre-
fore, in vibrating produces vary
ing pressure against the carbon. The
carbon is included in an electric cir
cult, so that the variation in its resist
ance will vary the current strength in
the circuit.
