Watches

can best be indicated in terms Of beats"
Every backward or forward turn OF the
balance wheel is beat. There are five
beats to a second, and with magnifying
glass over the seconds hand of Hamil-
ton Iimekeeper one can count all five
OF these beats as the hand moves second.
A Hamilton Watch makes 157, 100000
beats in year. 1t is interesting in this
connection to note that watch which
may lose fifteen or twenty beats PR
month during the summer, when the
owner OF the watch is engaged in more
energetic pursuits. will promptly begin to
pick up as cold weather advances and the
individual settles down to more scden-
tary life. Thus, on the whole, the watch,
considered from the end of one year 10
the end of the next, will be found pretty
accurate at any given time.

THE EMpR E SS.

The stage carpenter and the scenic artist are preparing new vestments for the stage at the Empress and the opening night will find it transformed into a bower of beauty in which there will be no familiar line.
 Harry Marshall, scenic artist for the Worlds Fair Stock Company, ar rived Thursday morning and is en- Cagel in tiie work of transformation Marshall is no nature fakir. his work in scenic effect is so striking that it lpewitchingly invites you 10 revel in its simple beauty. They tell Sood one on Marshall. and the police records confirm it. to the effect that in a i''C. cnt scenic production prepared for a Long Beach theater. a flock of swal- lows were a feature of the sky effect. and the whole was so true to life that the police of that city, where "swal- lows" are h- ordinance confined to the drug stores, entered q protest and backed by q petition from the drug gists. Marshall cut out the swallows.
 The story may be taken for what it is worth but the fact remains that Marsha1l-s magic will so transform the stage at the Empress shat it will be worth the price of admission to get q glimpse beyond the tormentor wings.
 The seat sale opened up strong to- day and suggests to thoSn who 6rsir a good seats the wisdom of getting them early.

SEILS.FLOTO CIRCUS

William Haines, contracting agent of the Sells Floto circus. was in town yesterday MT. Haines has come in advance of the show in order that supplies necessary for their engage ment here, which is on Friday, April ,, shall be ready to be delivered just as soon as the first section of this popular circus makes its appearance.
 It would be repeating an old story now to endorse the Sells-Floto people as among the very best purveyors of attractive amusement visiting this city. For many years they have been coming back with an attraction more important in every way than those which preceded it. For the last three years they have adopted the policy of cutting the regular price in half. while at the same time they have augmented and strengthened their show from every standpoint.
 MT. Haines promises that this sea- son the performance of the Sells Floto circus will in every way be worthy. Many new and startling features have been added to the program, among
