MUSIC OF THE ABoRIGINEs
Norwegian Explorers Secure eoms
New Photographic Records In
Northern Canada.

The explorers, Christian Leden and
Harald Thaulow, have Just returned
to Christiania from an expedition to
Northern Canada which was underta-
ken with the object Of collecting phon-
ographic records Of the folksongs Of
the various Indian tribes and compar-
ing them with those obtained in ear
Her expeditions to the Esquimaux,
with the view Of establishing how far
was their common origin.
The largest tribe visited was the
Cree, which numbers over 10000.
Their chief, Montonigik, was at first
hostile, but, after a few presents Of
tobacco and glass beads and after
having been tL1d that the explorers
had been sent by the king Of Norway
to make his tribe famous, he became
more amenable to the wishes Of the
explorers.
They brought back with them a
most interesting collection Of films
and records Of Indian life and music.
Leden will go in the fall to Greenland
for further investigation in the spring
of 1918 and a long final exploration OF
Northwest Canada which will extend
for three years. He will visit tribes
that have never been In contact with
the whites, he says.

MAN CANNOT LIE ABOUT FISH
Nothing One Can Say on the eubIsct
10 Too Weird to Be Duplicated
In Actual Experience.

Everything Is possible where fishing
is concerned. This talk about fishing
men outraging the truth or departing
from ~veracity is bosh, tommyrot and
%nonsense. A man may think he can
manufacture a lie about fish, but 1t Is
a mistake. Nothing you can say on the
subject Is too weird to be duplicated
by actual experience. There are fish
which weigh 5000 pounds, and there
are other fish who speak French and
eat with an oyster fork.
Philip G. Kennedy, the engineer.
who knows all there is to know about
fish, heard a man ridiculing a story
that bass could be caught in the mud
dy water Of the Potomac river by a
man striking an oar on the surface Of
the stream and watching the fish leap
merrily into the boat. Then the engi-
nee told this:

this boat attracted fish Ia large guam

inclination to Get Into Ruts.

We are all too much inclined to get
into ruts. For one thing 1t Is easy.
For another, some of US dislike doing
the unusual for fear of being talked
about or laughed at. Laziness, indif-
ference, or self-consciousness holds us
tight and fast in the same routine Of
living year In and year out.
Women shut themselves out Of much
that is live and vital by not Joining
some Of the woman's clubs that are
now so important a part Of life.
They are shutting out whole uni.
verses when they confine themselves
to one line Of reading.
Indeed, one can create many new
worlds for herself by bringing into
ones life new interests. It is one
Of the most effective ways Of keeping
