Tuning a Bell.

No matter how great may be b care
taken in making the mold. a bell has to
be tuned before it will ring a clear,
true note. AS a matter Of fact every
bell sounds five notes, all of which
must blend together tremendously. II
one is the least bit out the tone will be
spoiled. The first Of these notes is pro-
duced by the vibrations at the mouth
Of the bell. the second by the vibra-
lions a little higher up. the third still
higher up. and SO on to the 6fth, which
Is produced quite near the top. As the
character of the sound which rings de-
ponds upon the thickness Of the metal.
it Is possible. BY taking thin shavings
from various places in the inside Of the
bell. to alter the Eve notes until they
are all In harmony.

Oh, why should | be cast aside
And scorned as something vile?

And greeted with a smile.

Until such time as she
Saw fit to take me out
And make good use of me
She'd pat me on her pretty cheeks
And rub me on her face,
Till they would glow with beauty
And with loneliness and grace.
I'm sure I've been the leading cause
Within my lady's hand,
That enabled her to fascinate
And finally catch a man.
Without me | am very sure
No lady would ever be
Half so sweet and charming,
Then why should she discard me?
But the topper breaks the bottle
When TIE contents are all gone;
We eat the luscious peach,
But we throw away the stone.
So, since I'm an empty vessel,
My beauty powers used up,
I'll have to take my medicine"
But oh! IT'S a bitter cup.

GRITTY COMMERCIAL CLUBS

Both the Cordova and Seward Commercial Cu0s have gone on record wanting the district al toincy cf the Tfird Division removed from office. The Cordova Club p9ssed resolution requesting bo the President and the Attorney General to take nl- mediate action and the who is objection able and whose actions are detrimental to the best interest of the parry.
 Without discussing the merit of the case, we may say that in opinion those clubs took the right course to the objection, we believe that all such complaints should be made through q commercial body of men, women For individuals here and there to take up such matter only serv- es to bring trouble to the individuals from the fact that the appointive power oths to acknowledge poor judgement of men and prefer to suspect prejudice or personal grievances and in nine times out of ten, nothing will be done let the official com planed of be objectionable. We need nos go far for proof of that statement have it right here. Concusvely. gritty commercial body is just as essential to the welfare of a community en- terprisng spirit is commercially. When complaint is made by commercial body of business men, ap- pontive power will not dare to ignore it and soon CT later the objection is removed. Grit is what counts in this world.

NOT so BAD AFTER ALL

Glance over the statement recently made by Mir. A. W Sterrett superintendent of the New England Fish Company, to the Tacoma Daily News, which statement appears another column in this issue, it is evident that the Grand Trunk Pacific must come here if 1t wants the traffic most of the fish still goes to Sesstle and will continue go, unless we said before, that the company comes here after the fish. As it is now, it leaves but small margin which cannot be worth bothering with. With the Grand Trunk Pacific terminal for the fish business located here, those boats which make Seattle, would naturally come here.
 From the statement, 1t appears that there IS drawback in the shipment of fish by way of Prince Rupert that very few of took into account, and that is the lack of trains leaving that place The company has only two trains week during the winter months and three during the summer, which can hardly be said to be improvement over the old route
 There is another point upon which little enight- ment would be welcome to many of us, and that is this: It has been said here that the Grand Trunk Pacific route shorter by two days to the eastern market than the Seattle route. Now comes Mir Sterrett who says just the He says, Tt takes about two days: longer for train to reach the Atlantic from Prince Rupert than it does gain nothing by going Prince Rupert, provided the rate of transportation is the Is it?
