%GRANDFORKS JEWS
TO OBSERVE FEAST
Services VIII Be Held Sunday AMI
Monday in Synagogue On the
Anniversary of Shabuoth.

Next Sunday and Monday Grand
Forks Jews will observe Shabuoth,
the Feast Of Weeks, also known as the
Feast of the Fruits, with morning and
evening services at the local syna-
Gogue. Rabbi Papermaster announc-
ed last evening.
The Jewish stores will be closed for
a portion of the day on Monday.
shabuoth falls this year on Sunday,
May 9th. It's name is derived from
the fact that the Mosaic legislation
does not prescribe the date Of this
festival as being definitely on such and
month, which is the case with the
other festivals. but instead simply
states that ave full weeks are to be
counted from the time the Omer "a
of grain al an %offering) is
brought. Hence. the name "The Fes-
tival Of Weeks" and also the name,
~"Pentecost," meaning "hftieth," since
the festival is seven weeks or the f1f-
tieth day after the second day of
Passover, so fixed by Rabbinic tradt-
ton.

How Deaf Mutes Feel Music.

Deaf mutes love music. 1t thrills
them. They feel it. says the Popular
Science Monthly, by placing their
hands and elbows on a piano while the
teacher plays it. The vibrations not
only give sensations which enliven the
body, but they actually stimulate them.
The parts most sensitive to vibrations
are the chest, head, lungs and feet.
IAN exciting feeling comes up through
the floor" is the way one deaf boy
describes 1t. without music would
be lonesome" wrotesa little Italian
deaf mute. 1T gives me a strong
shock through the feet to the head
stated another. Others when asked to
explain their sensations said, IL feel
1t in my temples and in my legs" II
feel it through my whole body" and
II feel 1t in my chest and lungs"
According to teachers Of deaf mutes,
musical instruction is more important
as an educational factor for the deaf
child than 1t is for the hearing.

Value Of Rsspo biIity.

Greater than the value Of contact
with facts is the value of responsible
ty. In a mans life it is the arrival OF
some responsibility which arouses the
powers and makes durable the quail.
ties Of manliness.
The effect Of responsibility is instan-
taneous. 1t is like a magnet In its
power to charge the individual with
the faculties needed for the matter in
hand. A light is generated among the
fragments Of information. Even after
a systematic education these frag.
ments seem to lie in the mind in a
chance order until this light appears
and shows them ready for use; then
abilities develop which never would
develop, even with practice, without
