FLYING PIANO"
ACT DELIGHTS

volant and his flying piano" COM
prise a great act at the Garrick The
atre this week. and it is proving quite
a sensation because of its novel char
acter and the mystery which sur
rounds il. Volant is himself a re-
markable pianist. while Miss Ruth
Gurley, who stands on the piano and
sings as the instrument is whirled
through the air. is an accomplished
vocalist, and if it we're for nothing
else, it would prove highly entertain
ing but the manner in which the me-
chanical portion of the entertainment
Is given is hair-raising. II is re-
markable how a full sized piano can
move about in the air with the grace
of a swan and finally with the vio-
lence of a cyclone, and through some
unseen force, and it is also wonder
ful how the player and singer can
maintain their places while all OF
this is going on. 1t is indeed a start
ling act.

REV. DR, Y0UITG TALKS ON ALAESKZA

The following clipping from Chicago newspaper e losed in letter recently received the Pioneer office:
 Alaska .Americas Last Frontier" was the subject address delivered before the Presbyterian ministers by Rev. S. Hall Ioung D. D.. who has been doing nIis- sionary work in Alaska for tue last B years.
 Alaska has developed wonderfully in the last 13 ycars said Young, b0t it is going to keep at an even greater rate in the decade You watch Alaska the few years. There is copper stampede com ing the grip of the big corporations is released There is coal stampede the way, we get out the devil and the deep Bangersm hand and Pinchotism the other The great est salmon in wold the Yukon has not yet been touched.
 You people get wrong impression of the character Aaskans from the writings of Jack London and Rex Beach, As portrayed by them the Alaskan is cross be- tween an Arizona cowboy and Mexican 'greaser. But this only the lowest class These writers didn't meet best people, They associated with the miners, very little different from the miners of any community.
 "In point of strength energy, respect for law and in the world.
 In winter the temperature gets down to 60 degrees below But don't feel it much do your winters here I've suffered from cold feet since have been in Chicsgo than did in Alaska all last winter And that's the truth. Up there you depend on the weather. You pat moccasins and know that you'll get your feet wet
