All in Plans of Nature

What we commonly call the car
that is, the external parts little
more than a telephone receiver" as
it were, to the inner or true ear, with
which all hearing is done. or this
receiver" the lobes form an essential
and necessary part. In Natures won
derful way they are made to serve
very important purpose in keep
ing the drum of the ear properly
stretched. Many waves, of sound
would be lost to the real ear were it
not for the lobe.
The lobes of hunted animals, such
as the hare or stag, point backward,
and of hunting animals, such as. the
dog, forward. Originally, 1t is be-
lieved, our human lobes were Nov
able, but, as with the advance Of
civilization. man had TO depend less
and less upon his sense OF hearing
for protection against danger, the
muscles connected with our lobes fell
into disuse and resulted in the lobes
becoming practically a fixed part of
our hearing machine.

The people of Finland embrace Fin
landers who speak only Swedish
Firms, who speak only Finnish.
There is, according to the Helsing-
fors correspondent of the Nossische
Xetung, Il fine distinction between
the two words.
However, Il traveller might he un-
aware of this distinction. for cltE
people. especially in western Finland
generally speak three languages
flucntly, having mastery of German
as well as Swedish and Finnish.
Russian, which used to be compul-
sorry in the schools, has been inten-
tionally forgotten.
Only Finnish is spoken in the cast
crn and northern parts of the coun-
try, and there one is more likely to
find a knowledge of German than Of
Swedish.
Their common language makes it
easy for Finlandcrs to establish them
selves in Sweden. The latter coun-
try is regarded by many OF tlcm as n
sort of promised land. on dNcount of
its urban attractions and higher wage
standards.

DENY ACTIVITY
OF XII KLUX KLAN
IN CITY WATERV|LLE

Inc l\u NluN Khan, has it arrived
IN Watcrville? Have the priests OF
the Catholic Churches received
warnings that their Cathedrals are
TO be burned? These two questions
are the main topics of conversation
and rumor in Elm City at the pres
ent time. Father Kalenl when inter-
viewed concerning the rumor by the
kcnnebec Journal reporter yesterday
sad that he kneW nothing about it,
except what came to him by rumors.
He said that he had had several tel
phone calls asking for information
regarding the matter and that he had
received one call from 4 Portland
paper which had got hold of the
story. 1t was thought once yestcr-
day that the rumor must be fact as
scme of the school children who at
tend the Convent on the plains said
that Father OrieuN came into the
school room Tuesday afternoon cry
ing and wanted the scholars to all
play that their church might be
spared. This story however. was
denied last evening. Father kalem
said, when asked if he had any idea
how the story started, that all he
could lay it to was some OF the
children who cut lot of pictures
OF the cscapades of the Khan from Il
Sunday paper and created quite Il
sensation among the children by
showing them around the yard dur
ing recess. The first yarn that was
circulated about the streets was that
Father kalem at seven O'Clock mass
Sunday morning gave strong ser
mon, denouncing the klan as u body
and saying that the murderers of
women and children should al be
captured and done away with. The
story when told to Father Kalem by
the reporter, was fatty denied. He
said that he himself gave the seven
o'clock mass and that the sermon
did not touch or bear on the Klan
in any way, 'in fact" said Father
Ealcm, my sermon was merely a
SORT of a general report on what the
church had accomplished during the
past year, and the I<u kluX klan was
not mentioned. L have thought the
matter over before and decided that
il would not be my policy to inbamo
the passions and anger of this band
Of secret workers by prcjudiccd ser
mons and talk" When asked If 1T
was true that a force of armed
guards were employed during the
past few nights to protect the church
pl Operty he answered saying, mo.
Why should We? We have received
no warning and all the prccautlon
that VIC have taken is to eXtinSuiSh
the candles in the building so that
if a fir occurred it could not be said
that it started from that source 1T
is thought by many of the people
that the fright was needless. and that
the rumor is all bunk without any
fnllndat ton.
