GRAYS HARBOR RAILWAY & LIGHT
COMPANY

The Grays Harbor Railway & Light
Co., which serves Aberdeen, Hoquiam,
and Cosmopolis, with light, heat and
power, is one of the many public SER
vice corporations nowadays whose con-
slant endeavor is to merit the good
will of the people whom it serves.
The company's current is produced
by two separate plants with combin-
ed generating capacity of 26O Kilo-
watts which is equivalent to 1852
horse power. These two plants are
located in different parts of the city
and are interconnected in such man
ner that in case of breakdowns, at
either plant, the other would take
care of the load. This insures relia-
bility or service impossible to obtain
from a single plant.
The company also enjoys another
advantage in having the generating
plants located within the territory

Power of liqhtnino.

1t is hardly possible to use instru-
ments for the purpose of figuring the
forces Of lightning. yet there are many
other ways OF calculating familiar to
every mathematician. The amount of
light given by single lightning fash
is enough to illuminate an area two
miles square. The bolt itself would
be visible several miles farther off. but
the remotest part Of the region men
toned would have as much light as
would be given by a candle-quite
enough to read by. To produce such a
light it would be necessary to expend
$1,000 horsepower for second. These
figures appear very large. but the time
is short The fash might be for only
one-thousandth part of a second, but
the impression on the eye would con-
tinue for a tenth of a second anyway.
Figured down to an exact hour this
amount of force would mean only
about four horsepower.-Electric News.

One Of the Most Trying OrdeaIs In an
Opera Artists Career.
Specially constructed violins, cellos,

are required as accompaniment to the
grand opera singer when he or she
essays to watt the voice upon a phono-
graph record. And it is safe to say
this singing to the photograph Is the
most trying ordeal in the artists ca
reer.
Singers like Caruso. Melba. Farrar,
Amato and a host of others are united
In declaring the singing for records
Is the hardest work they ever have
undertaken. They are bereft of their
audiences that inspire confidence. and
they necessarily must be careful to
avoid false notes or infections The
slightest clearing of the throat or the
muff1ed shutting of feet will spoil a
record, And then it all has to be done
over again.
The singer Is ushered into a great
barnlike room. curtained off at one
end. Through this curtain protrudes
gigantic brass horn. suspended from
the ceiling. 1t is attached to the pho
nograph record.
1t Is then the singer notices bevy

In any theater. The violins are Of
different shapes from the instruments
with which he Is familiar. The horns
are Of varied shapes. and to each is
attached a little funnel that points
in the direction Of the large receiving
horn. This is to concentrate the sound.
The conductor sits on q platform
high above his musicians and the
singer. Thus he offers no obstruction
to the free transmission Of the sound
waves. The singer Is stationed upon
platform and close to the mouth
Of the horn.
A red light flashes. the musicians
pour forth light. soft melody. for
which their instruments are particu-
larly designed. and the grand opera
artist loosens his vocal cords His tone
must be steady and strong. The
slightest variation Is recorded upon
the wax record. and a trivial noise
may spoil the performance. Once he
has finished. the record Is placed upon
a producing machine and played over
to detect faults. These errors are
pointed out and the singer rehearsed
to prevent them. Again he repeats
the song, and perhaps dozen times
he is forced to sing before perfect
