HAWAIIAN MUSIC.

ia " Allan hlO fo1Ss
Mark Twain, after his first visit
70 the Hawaiian Islands, said in an
interview: ''The music of the Ha-
waiians, the most fascinating in the
world, is still in my ears and haunts
me sleeping and waking. cal still
hear the pulsing of the surf at
Waikiki, see the plumy palms
browsing by the shore, the gar
landed erags, and the lcaping cas-
cadcs, and this music fills me with
the spirit of its woodland soil
tudes. just as this music fasci-
mated the beloved American hunor-
list and author, SO has it captivatcd
thousands of people from both hem
isphercs who annually stop at the
islands.
4 traveller writing TO the New
York sun from Honolulu, says Of
Hawaiian music: every one in
Hawaii can sing. and they dance TO
the songs as well. The natives
bring their owa quaint Instruments
and reinforce them with guitars,
maudolins and violins-all of which
they play by ear, for few Hawai-
iaus can read music-and they
strum off few bars and then break
into song. The Hawaiian songs
run To- harmony rather than mere
melody, and yet az the same tim,
there is no wc.lsustainad theme il
them. The singers glide from one
harmony chords they are
into another The timbrc of tn,
various voices is peculiar to Pacifi,
Islands, aud when the natives sins
there comes a blend Of notes sucl
as no chorus Of Anglo Saxons coult
make. The voices are hght-theN
run to tenors great dcal-bu
there is superb balancing Of ton,
in chorus music. But there is more
than that in them. When sa,
piece is sung, the sadness enters in
to the singers hearts. They clos
their eyes and a sigh comes iron
their lips with the harmony. Whe
they open their eyes, there is a mis-
in them. When they sing rolliellin
music, their eyes dance with thei
stamping feet >

4 few points regarding Victor and
Edison sound box or reproducer: If
the sound box on. your Victor or Edi
son is not giving you what you be-
| licve are the best results, bring it to
us or send it and we will fix it free
4 of charge. Here are a few causes
for poor results: Old insulators, no
| life in rubber; needle arm loose on
! fulcrum points; springs on needle
arm loose; diaphragm not -shellaced
to insulators; needle arm not set at
right tension; diaphragm screw loose
or wax cracked and loose; diaphragm
tension out of adjustment. These
defects are easily adjusted and no
doubt should you bring your sound
box to us we could explain to you
so you would understand all adjust
ling in the future.
The fact that we have always
strivcd to offer nothing but the best
in musical merchandise to the public
of Brattlcboro and vicinity, is our
main reason for success. Truth and
plenty of it is what helps to make
our sales.

Country Schools Consolidate.

Farm and Fireside tells how success
was made of recent consolidation of
country schools and the erection of fine,
modern schoolhouse and the establish
ment of a graded school system. 1t says:
"a territory of AZ sections of land
contiguous to the village was taken into
the district, which voted $4,000 bonds.
At Az per cent these were snapped up,
and premium of $1,000 paid on the
issue.
"There had been doubters and deter
mined directors, and the promoters of
the plan adopted clever scheme to ST.
lcnce or convert these. Representative
of the plan WIRE induced to
90 and visit districts in other counties
where consolidation had been effected.
They were asked to talk to school pa
irons, especially to those who had them
selves opposed the plan at first. They
found almost nobody to critieize-the ae-
tual working of the scheme had steam
rollered all opposition out of existence.
So the Dow City district carried its bond
issue with good majority"

MUNICIPAL CAMPS
IN FEDERAL FORESTS
Increasing Use of Reservations by Young

is reported by the forest service. Per
mits have already been issued to severa
cities and educational institutions anc
other applications are expected Official;
say that far more people use the forests
for public Fairgrounds than for any
other purpose, and that this use prom
ises to be one of the most important to
which they can be put.
The city of Fresno, Cal, has been
granted permit for the use OF l5-acre
camp on the shores of Huntington lake,

for 1000 school children and their par

normal school is now occupying tract
OF land which is rented from the govern
ment under a long term lease A num-
Der of buildings have been erected. all
of which, as well as many cottages and
camps, are supplied with water from a
water system installed by the forest
service. In connection with the regular
six weeks summer course, this school
gives a course in woodcraft and general
forestry subjects. The students visit the
nearby forest service ranger stations and
lookout towers and study the govern
ment's methods of fire protection Adj
dresses on the work of the forest service
are given by officials from time to. time
The Georgia state forest school has
camp on private lands on the Georgia ma
tional forest where a summer course is
given. A feature of this course is a Sc
ries of talks given by members OF the

Los Angeles was the first city in Cali
fornia to establish vacation camp in

a large camp built, costing about $4,000. |
This camp consists of a log and stone
lodge, 46 furnished cottages, tennis and
