Grand Opera House and Broad
way Theater Offers Not T. =
to Be Considered.

All but three sites for the proposed
Auditorium have been eliminated in
conferences by the city commissioners.
This action was the first definite step
towards the realization of one OF the
crying 'neeqs Of Superior. <
:. The three sites selected to make the
final choice from include, eight lots
offered by Wildner and Wildner at the
northwest corner of Belnap street and
Cummings avenue at $4,000. These
lots are within one block Of the High
school and beside church. Four lots
offered by, the, same firm on the west
side of Ogden avenue near 18th street;
at $4,000 is good site close to- the
Elk's building and in a section Of the
city close to the business district and
practically a part of it. This location
it is predicted will some day be an i'm
portant part of the business district.
The third site offered is that Of W. S.
Wingate; who offers four lots located
on the east alley corner of Ogden
avenue between Belknap and 18th
streets at $500. These lots seem to
be favored by the Representatives of
the Trades and Labor assembly be-
cause of the central location and the
RESPONSIVENESS in the price. The price
being 5000 lower than the lowest
offer of Wildner and Wildner. 1t is
pointed out, however, that this site is
close to the residence section Of the
city and for that reason may prove
to be undesirable: The location is in
the vicinity Of the Superior hotel and
the Grand Opera House. It is expect
ed that a definite site will be chosen
soon. -
- AS soon as the site is chosen the
bond of $4,000 carried at the last
election will be advertised and local
architects will be asked to submit
their plans for the structure.
Among other offers that have been
made. to the city, for the auditorium
were those of Robert Kelly, represent
ing the Superior Theater company,
proposing to remodel the Grand Opera
house for $4,000. and Of Wildner and
Wildner with a like proposal at $780,
900 for the $Brcaa*a theater. :~7,

paper reports to the effect that this
idea had been abandoned by the COM.

but not formally adopted against the
alleged hearings behind closed

Unfair Committee Reports,
The unfair committee reported that
after thorough canvass Of the vari-
GUS stores handling hardware in the
city only one store was found to have
the product of the Minnesota Stove
company in stock and that they were
assured by this merchant that as
soon as the: stock is disposed OF no.
more stoves made by this firm will be
handled. The reason for the canvass
of the committee was because Of in
structions from the Trades and Labor
assembly after communication, had
been read from the Molders' union of
Shakopee, Mimi, declaring the Min
nesota Stove company unfair towards
organized labor.
Clerks Report Cards in Stores.
The retail clerks reported that
cards had been placed in practically
all the mems furnishings stores south
of Eighth street and all OF the hard
ware stores except the Pease Hard
ware which will probably come into
the fold at the next meeting Of the
local.
The Kaplan System store near the
Peoples theater refuses to place a
card in the store as also does Siegal
Bros. and Brandser. The Bingham
Hardware company is the only store
north of Eighth street that has a card
of the Clerks union. Andrew Eek
strom's store while not having a card
is NOT really considered a non-union
store because of the peculiar circum-

that for the timebeing at least he be

All man made machinery runs with
wheels. Yet there is not q single wheel
in the human body. And the human
body is the most perfect piece of
mechanism in the world. 1t seems
strange that man has developed me-
chanics along all lines but those with
which his own body works. Practically
every motion we make is performed
by the direct operation of levers, and
living creatures are the only machines
SO built Almost all these human
levers are of one kind, that commonly
called the third. There are three kinds
of levers: a. that in which the fuS
crum is between the power and the
weight, or resistance. as in a pair Of
scissors; (2) that in which the weight
or resistance Is between the fulcrum
and the power, as in an oar; 81 that
In which the power Is between the full
crum and the weight, as In a pair Of
grass clippers. 1t Is true that each of
these forms of levers Is used In me-
chanics, but no great machine has ever
been built ON the purely lever prin-
ciple.-New York World.
