Whites Star Concert Company, Mon
day, April 10.
The Meistersingers Male Quartette is
giving Gunnison a return date. They
have . record for doing so and are al
ways enthusiastically received. Their
organ chimes are 30 beautiful in tone
and so full and resonant in volume that
they resemble a pipe organ or an
orchestra. This feature of their pro-
gram is unique on the lecture platform.
Newton, master magician, enter
tanning, laughable, popular, holds an
audience in open-eyed wonder, A

q skillful conjuror, he alternately
amuses and mystifies.
Ikemoto halls from the Sumarai class
which furnishes the high officials of the
state and navy in Japan. He appears
on the platform in his native garb. His
subject. "The Changing Orient" treats
of the progress and aspirations of
Japan. A student for several years in
the colleges of America, he can ably
compare the institutions, home life and
dominating influences of both Japan and
America. He has made study of the
international Peace problem and will
bring us ideas of paramount interest
concerning international aims and poll
cies.
The four young ladies of the Sorority
Singing Club have been coached by the
famous tenor, Holmes Cowper, who
heartily recommends them for concert
work. They supplement their vocal
work with readings and numbers on the
cello and violin. A delightful evening
say all who hear them.
The White Star Company consists of
Cora Higgins, violin virtuoso who capti-
Yates an audience and receives enthusi-
astic praise from all; Margaret Bruner,
impersonator. dramatic and humorist
reader, who by her able coaching of
some of the commencement events last
June is known to Gunnison, and Maizee
Bridges, soprano soloist, one who comes
from long training and practice in
Chicago.
If one enjoys a continuous roar of
laughter he should hear the humorist
Thomas McClary. His eloquence, wis.

LONDON, January II.
81 you could go up into one of the

YOU would be able to see yourselves as
babies going out for the first time"
Professor II. II. Turner made this
puzzling remark in the course of a lee
ture on "a Voyage in Space" at the
Royal Institution. He capped 1t by add
ing
If YOU went to the more distant stars
you might even see your grandmothers

The explanation is the length of time
1t takes light TO travel between a star
and the earth.
Speaking Of the wonders of the spec
troscope. which. being more sensitive
than the human eve. feels the slightest
amount OF light. Professor Turner said
that It had revealed to astronomers
many things.
For years 1t has been observed that
one star. known as Algol becomes dim
for some time and then gradually shines
brilliantly again." he said. "and the ex-
PLANTATION has been that there were two
stars and that one was a dark one
which revolved round the other.
But quito q new thing has been
learned by the spectroscops.
cit has been found that the light star
also goes around the dark star. which is
not entirely dark. and astronomers have
calculated that the body which they had
previously thought to be dark is really
sixteen times as bright as the sun. while
the light star is quite $40 times as light
as the sun"
