Queen of the FIGESTA by
Mayor Richard Hire, having
been duly escorted with proper
fanfare to the band stand.
Looking very regal in her col
orful costume, her majesty &C
copied the obeisance of thou
sands of enthusiastic subjects
assembled in front of the band
stand for this historic occasion.
Immediately following the
coronation, her Majesty's first
official act was to greet Queen
Josephine Paul who arrived
with her retinue from Chicago,
having made an overnight
flight from Los Angeles where
on the preceding Wednesday,
she was the winning contestant
on the popular "Queen for a
Day" radio program.
After the presentation Of
gifts the program of the after
noon Immediately began. This
included delightful music by
the Zion Concert Band, Macs
tro David McElroy conducting.
In addition to superb band mu-
sic the crowds, which by this
time were increasing by the
moment, were RECALLED with ex-
cellent solo numbers including
accordian selections by Miss
Gloria Ruesch, Marimba selec-
tons of a lively nature, musical
specialities by the Zion Saxo-
phone Sextette and a generous
presentation of assorted num-
bers by their imitable Mifflin
Sisters who may always be
counted on to give a full meas
ure of top entertainment, and
received ardent applause.
Now if bull fighting should
be adopted as the great Amer
lean sport, it can truthfully be
said that the 1913 FIGESTA
at Zion, Illinois, gave it it's
first impetus.
Go down into Mexico, jour
ney to Seville, Barcelona, yes,
even to Madrid itself, and you
will never be privileged to see
a bull fight like the one staked
at the FIRST ANNUAL FIGES-
IA. 1t was the climax of the
afternoons events and not only
entertaining but highly educa-
tional as we'll, depicting as it
did, a little insight into the ha-
bits and customs of our Latin
friends. At the conclusion of
the bull fight it was not readily
determined who had won, ell
tore in the persons of Jim Sch
malfuss and Jack Robinson or
the toreador, Edward Mehaf-
fey.
Suffice it to say that the act
was we'll received by all the
noisy spectators, some of whom
came from many points to wit
ness this bold spectacle.
1t was a busy day, too, at the
Zion Baking Industry which
was host to many cookie and
candy buyers from all parts of
the country. The new Fig Bar
oven was in continual opera
ton throughout the day for the
edification of the folks in the
biscuit business who came to
the city to kill two birds with
one stone, namely to join in the
fun and marvel at the last

Apparatus Records
Hits on Plane Target

STOCKHOLM, February pa
(By airmaiD Two Swedish avia-
ton engineers, T. Faxen and E.
Wilkinson, who earlier have con-
structed a remarkably accurate
diving bomb sight, have recently
perfected an invention which
promises to revolutionize shoot
ing at lowed targets.
It consists OF a microphone, at
tached to the sleeve target, which
registers the hits-and the misses
and via the towing line records
them on a special apparatus in
the plane, or sends them over the
radio to ground observers. If the
instrument is set at it's lowest de-
gree of sensitivity, it will register
projectiles passing within three
feet of the target. At its highest
sensitivity, hits within twenty
five feet will be recorded.
Several units have so far been
sold in Sweden, and Mr.. Wilken-
son is now in the United States
to negotiate for sales to America

StraInder Helps
Create Garden

John S. Strander, pioneer Scan
dinavian nurseryman and owner of
Strander Evergreen Nurseries of
Seattle, announced recently that he
had donated over 100000 worth
of choice nursery stock to the Sc
attic Park Department for land
scaping purposes. The grant of
evergreens will be used for the
landscaping of the newly designed
Municipal Rose Gardens at Wood
land Park.
Mr.. Adrian Gallaher, in charge
of constructing the gardens, says
that now Seattle will have one of
the finest rose testing and exhibit
ton gardens in the United States.
Upwards of 1900 different varie-
ties, including all of the latest
patented ones, will be grown.
The evergreens are for the pur-
pose of setting off and bordering
the rose beds. The finished effect
will be a complete garden unit
planned with the purpose in mind
Of exhibiting the best qualities of
each variety. The gardens were de-
signed by Mr. Roland Koepf, land
scape architect for the Seattle
Park Department. They will be
completed during the spring of this

Swedish Research and
Planning for Europe's
Reconstruction

STOCKHOLM, March 17.-Swe-
denis Foreign Minister, 0sten I'm
den, was among the delegates at
tending the opening of the second
meeting of the sixteen-power Eur
opean economic conference. The
other Swedish representatives at
the meeting are Karl Ivan West
man, Ambassador to France, and
Minister Dag Hammarskjold, fl
nancial adviser of the Swedish For
eign Office.
Mr.. Hammarskj0ld also serves
as chairman of special Swedish
committee, which has just been ap-
pointed by the Foreign Minister to
coordinate all research and plan
ming activities in Stockholm in re-
gard to the European Reconstruc-
ton Plan. Other members of the
committee are representatives of
the Food, Trade, Industry and Fuel
Commissions, and the Finance and
Foreign Departments.
The Swedish Government has
come to the conclusion that Swe-
denis participation in the study
group for European customs un-
ion would further the preparations
aiming at a Scandinavian union,
and at the groups meeting in
Brussels on March 10 Sweden
therefore will apply for member
ship. Knut v. Horn will represent
Sweden at this meeting. At the
invitation of the general secretary
Of the group, another Swede. H. D.
Brejde, has been appointed to a
position as expert at the perma-
nent customs tariff bureau estab-
lished in Brussels.
When making this decision
known, the Swedish Government
referred to the meeting of the
Scandinavian Foreign Ministers in
Oslo February 1924, which dis
cussed the Scandinavian coopera-
ton in regard to a customs union
and decided to place joint tariff
as the first item on the program.

OF special interest are letters
from the early 1850s, but those of
later date are also welcome. Pro-

this kind gathered in museums.
but that many private cupboard
drawers undoubtedly hold a wealth
of material.

Urn With Ashes of
Swedish Seaman
Drifts Seven Years
KHOLM. March

STOC K HOLM, March = (By
airmaiD. = Some weeks ago a
wooden box was washed ashore
on the coast of one of the He
brides, northwest of Scotland. In
side was found an urn containing
the ashes of Swedish marine
engineer, R. B. Harnesk, of Goth
enburg, who died in London in
1910 and was cremated there.
The urn with his ashes was
originally sent with a Swedish
ship bound for Murmansk, in
northern Russia, from where it
was to have been forwarded to
Gothenburg, but the vessel was
torpedoed and sunk off the coast
of England. When found, the box
with the urn had been buffeted
by winds and waves in the North
Sea for seven years and must
have travelled hundreds of miles.
The box was in good condition.

aged.
At the time of his death Mr..
Harnesk was about sixty years
old. His wife and daughter are

Mr.. Strander, owner of Strander

garden of this perspective should
be built into one of the showplaces
of the city. Already the project

Hannikainen Leads Orchestra
In Stirring Performance

trast were clearly and succinctly
defined in the reading.
The choice Of Rachmaninoff's s
Symphony No. 2" was apt, for this
program for its dark and tempetuous
mood held some relation to Sibe-
Illus in spite of its Tschaikowskian
moments. Mr.. Hannikainen had q
vivid picture Of the symphony and
what he wished to disclose but was
only partially successful in getting
the orchestra to realize it. Except
for the two last movements, the
playing was labored but the adagio
found the orchestra more at ease
and the final allegro vivace was
nobly set forth. The work.. on the
whole, is overburdened with material
firmly knit together. It's power is,
however, unmistakable, for there is
never moment without intensity of
some kind and passionate under
current. 1t would be interesting to
hear it again as Mr.. Hannikainen
conceives it and after more rehears-
ais.

pronounced success in his perform
ance of the Chopin concerto. The

first and third sections and its ad-

The National Symphony's final
event for the Wednesday night
subscribers might be called re-
ciprocity concert, for while DIR
Hans Kinder was directing orches-
tras In Finland, a Finnish con-
ductor, fauna Hannikainen, took
over the direction of the National
Symphony. Making his first ap-
pearance here, Mr.. Hannikainen
received a warm welcome that grew
into enthusiastic acclaim as his
particular talents revealed them
selves. 1t was stirring performance
throughout, further enhanced by
Artur Rubenstein's playing Of the
Chopin Concerto in E minor" as
the soloist of the program.
Mr.. Hannikainen brings intense
vigor to his conducting but it has
so much freshness and elan that it
is in no wise pedantic. He has
the music literally at his finger
tips, for it is with quick and vivid
gestures of his hands that the
musical idea is sketched. There
is no pretense in the almost con-
slant movement of his entire body.
It is as though he were alive with
the music and that not one iota
of it should suffer from lack of
force and desire on his part. 1t was
a new kind of conducting for the
local public, which was not long
in discovering the sincerity, mu-
steamship and deep knowledge that
inspired it.
The program was anything but
hackneyed and Mr.. Hannikainen
brought a breath of the north by
including Two short but effective
works of his famous countryman,
Sibelius, and two works by Russian
composers. the Overture" to Kabal-
evsky's "Colas Breugnon" and
Rachmaninof1's Symphony No. q"
Geographically suited was the
Chopin concerto, which was given
its first performance in Warsaw
well over 100 years ago.
1t would seem that Finnish musi-
clans see somewhat clearer the very
core Of music, for the same keen
penetration to be found in Sibelius'
writing was also in Hanpikainen's
directing. 1t was natural that the
"Elegie" from, Sibelius' King
Christian Suite" quite apart from
its innate beauty, should be made all
ductor's understanding. 1t is a
simple. poignant work in which the
orchestra did some of its finest play

Journey is part of the tetralogy of
which THE Swan of Tuonela" is
the most familiar. This Is music

made familiar to a larger public
than that of the concert hall. It was
brilliant, easy playing, fully cogniz-
ant of style and mood. Although
the orchestral accompaniment is not
meant to be intrusive, the back
ground given the artist was wanting
in positiveness. 1t did not matter
much to the audience. for it was
listening to Rubinstein and his
dynamic personality held the center
OF the stage. A demonstration fol-
lowed the concerto's finish that in
sistently begged for an encore. Mr..
Rubinstein, bringing the conductor
out with him, bowed repeatedly but

of winter sports during the war
when skis and snowmobiles along

Increasing numbers of Ameri-
cans now think in terms of winter

Whitefish's Big Mountain repre-

it leads to hundreds and thousands
of December-to-April visitors to

spirit and energy to actually start

locality deserve vote of thanks
from the entire county. MIR
