When you were a boy, the first
time YOU tried to whistle, in imita-
ton of the older boys you probably
uttered an unmusical and uncontrol-
liable squeak. Your ear told you that
you were not reproducing the sounds
that you heard from the others, and
you tried again. You called your eye
sight TO your aid, and observed how
the others puckered their lips and
occasionally wet them with their
tongues. You took advice from the
accomplished whistlers. who, if they
were particularly interested in your
efforts. put their hands on their hips,
stopped down close in front of you,
and showed you exactly how TO man

The Mystery of
Speech and Song
BY Garrett p. Serviss.

.'Wiu you explain the philosophy
OF this phenomenon: In whistling a
tune, march. waltz, dirge. old Hun
dred,' Yankee Doodle 'Marseillaise,'
or what YOU will the sound in the air,
and to he ear, is accurately what is
conceived by the mind. How do you
account for that production, in the
mere external vibrations of breath,
Of the mental conception? The tune
is in the air; the conception is in the
mind. How does the breath perform
this mystery externally SO that all
listeners obtain the secret concept Of
the mind ?-E. s. F.. Chicago"

II we begin with the brains of the
earliest types of men that have vet
been discovered among the fossils
contained in the upper layers OF the
earth. we find that there is a certain
development of those parts of the
brain which have been recognized as
associated with the power Of speech
(they lie at the sides Of the front half
of the brain). and that there is no
similar development in the brains of
any lower animals, though the man

The fame of the upper Cop per River as a producer of copper has long been known. but the re cent strike is of a new character, namely, silver and lead. The ledge Is about sixty feet iR width and lays on the contact betwen the lime and greensboro. The ordinary formation lime oyer greenstone has been reserved 3nI thst case, the lime being on the footwaIl and the green stone being above. Some good mineraIOgists have examined the rock and agree that T quantity such as is claimed by he locatOrs will make mine which will rival the famous Bonanza and Jumbo mines. The locators will put tur- uel lll in the spring and bring out a large shipment for smelter test as soOn as possible.

No use to rub or apply plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskan residents would do well to profit by the following example:
 Mrs. G. G. Fosdick, 6015 S. Lawl ence St., Tacoma,W ash, says: My back was so sore and painful that if l wanted to take up any ethiDg from the floor, l had to get down on my knees. There was a lump about the size Of e dollar over each of my kidneys and this made my back so tender and sore that I could hardly bear to have my clothes touch me. Al night l could scarcely turn in bed and moruings was so lame and sore that I could hardly geS around. These troubles We're brought On by a cold settling in my kidneys.

CURED in various sections of Man
Eattan when attempts were made to
Jun cars on the Forty-second and Fifty
NTH street cross-town surface lines.
tEobs of strikers and their sympathiz-
hrs stormed two car barns over-power-
ing the police and putting to flight all
Hallway employees in the v.cinities.
Several motormen and conductors,
who had not joined the strike, were
eaten. Much property damage had
feen done before police reserves ar
lived.
Police at Polling Booths.
The police assert that the strikers
took advantage of the fact that many
policemen were detailed to polling
booths in the primary election here.
Disorders occurred in many places al
the same time.
At Forty-second street and Broad
way, one Of the busiest spots in the
city, great crowd bombarded car
with stones they had gathered from
q subway excavation.
Numerous arrests were made and
many of the rioters were dubbed by
the police. Later, the strikers at,
tackled the elevated trains, with bottles
and bricks, from housetops. Police
men then were stationed on the roofs
along the elevated routes.
Fail to Effect Settlement.
After citizens committee had fail
ed to effect basis of settlement be

employers here, it was announced that
apparently the only hope of preventing
a threatened sympathetic walkout OF

lies in fiGal appeal to be made to
the labor leaders Thursday.
The citizens committee probably
will confer at once with Mayor Mitchell
and Oscar S. Straus, chairman of the

to find some solution of the problem.
