PICTURE NOW SHOWING
AT THE BlJOU.

maze sunday, the One-reel mOtlOn PIC
ture, describing in part the interesting
things about Brunswick, was placed
on exhibition and vii be shown today
in both the afternoon and night per-
fOrmances at one of the local the
aters.
The picture is a splendid example
of the film art and describes in de-
tail just what an interesting place
Brunswick really is.
Nearly all of us have observed from
time to time the wonderful travelogue
pictures which have brought home to
US living SCIENCES of foreign ports and
cities, but it is only when we see our
own habitation pictured among these
that we are truly able to compare
our city with the balance.
The old familiar style Of photog-
raphy has produced some wonderful
achievements in art, but it was left
for the cinimatographer to give these
pictures life and animation and there
by cause us to feel with emotion the
things which we see
Among the views showing today are
many describing the principal school
buildings, which we are able to see
through waving foliage and, as. we
study the architecture in the shadows
we suddenly observe hundreds of chill
dren, the future citizens of Brunswick,
rushing from the portals to partici
pate in the recess recreations.
The beautiful bay and it's marsh
flats are described in panamoric splen.
dor and all the activities of our cele-
brated waterway are set forth with
infinite care and eXactness.
The wonderful shipbuilding yards
are shown in full operation and almost
every angle. from driving spikes with
electric automatic hammers, to polish
ing the name plates prior to launch
ing. Launching is shoEn also, even
70 the first dip of the "Ressepeage,
amid the cheers and flag waving of
hundreds of people
True bravery is exhibited when sew
eral dozen ladies ride a huge barge
down the ways as it plunges into the
narrow channel of the bay on its first
inspection, when even the camera
man was obliged to cut the picture
in order to avoid being swamped
Every particular in ship building,
as conducted in Brunswick, is shown,
from the earliest preparation of the
keel, to the fastening the last strand
of rigging.
The Bijou screen seems we'll adapt
ed to the style and tone of the pict-
ures.

prices may have been, the fact is that
it followed closely after the great out
pouring of Californian and Australian
gold and rapid development of bank
ing
1873-1896.
Between 1873 and 1896 prices fell
in countries using the gold standard
and rose in countries using the silver
standard.
1t will be remembered that through
out the world and particularly in the
United States during this period, there
was much controversy over prices
and gold, silver and paper money. We
had in this country advocates of the
greenback standard, Of free silver, of
international bimetallism, etc, as rem
| edies for the great fall in prices and
the depression of trade of which there
were loud complaints. The ferment
eliminated in 1896 in the famous
Bryan free silver campaign
,eS., 1896-1914.
, But, by the irony of fate, scarcely
had the country become excited over
falling prices when the movement
turned upward again. and, with few
| exceptions, it has been upward ever
since. The old cry of too little gold
of too low prices of depression OF
trade was forgotten and. the opposite
complaint of the high cost of living
gradually gained strength. Meekers

from 67 to 100, or about SO per cent
| The most remarkable fact is that
the course of prices up to the out
/ break of the war was strikingly sim

which we have statistics, namely: The
United States, Canada, England
France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Den
