Frank A. Wtckman, n brother or
Mr. R. J. Montgomery of LaBt
slde, and of Androw V. Wlckman
of Empire, has written Tho Times
from Ilerlln, aormany, a most In
teresting story of hla European
trip. Mr. Wlckrunn has attained
considerable tamo nt Borkoley, Cal
ifornia, ns a musician. Ho Is now
completing his courso and when ho
returns will bo ono of tho best ar
tists on tho Pacific Coast. His
letter, which will ho of Intorost
to his hundrods of Coos Day
friends, as woll as educational to
all who road It, la ab follows:
I aupposo soino of my Coob Day
friends would bo Interested m
earing about this part of tho
world. I loft San Francisco Juno
29, and camo cast Tla tho Cana
dian Pnnlfle. Stonncd off at Port
land. Seattle. Victoria and Van
couver. Victoria Is as English as
any of the small cities you rco
In England. Also stopped off at
Glacier, Canada, and at Danff,
which to my mind Is ono of tho
moat linautlful resorts In Amorlca.
While at Qlaclor I wont up to tho
Illeclllenalt glacier, which waB
moat Interesting. Tho Cnnadlan
Rockies aro magnlflcont and con
tain aomo of tho flnost mountnln
scenery In tho world. It Is aur
prlalng the numbor of Amorlcans
ona moots over hero, that know
practically nothing of our Bconory
at home. I met an onthuslasttc
California boostor who had noror
afen Lako Tahoo nor Yosomlto
Valley. It doosn't Hcem possible
tct you meet hundrods In tho snmo
boat.
From Fort Wllllnm I crossed
Lakes Suporlor and Huron to Point
MeXIcol. It waa a most Interesting
(rip on a beautiful lako steamor,
auch larger thnn our Coos "Jay
atwimero. From Point McNIcol I
went down to Buffalo, tla Toronto.
Spent a day at Niagara, which ev
eryone should bco boforo coming
abroad. From Duffnlo I went to
Rochester, N. Y and from thoro
to Charlotto, whore I took passago
on one of tho magnlflcont St.
Lawrence rlTor boats for Montreal.
The trip down tho 8t. Lnwronco
through the Thousand Islnnds and
to Montreal Is Tory beautiful. Mon
treal linen s a Tory inionuunsrrlloat buildings In Europe
utu Vlkj. At in n Ul'iw" "
French city. In fact, I got on
a atreet car, tho conductor of
which could not spoak n word of
Ilncllah.
The next stopping placo was
ICrene, N. II., whoro I apont n
day with frlonds. Thon camo a
week In and nround Boston. Mo
tored with frlondB nil ovor the
tato of Massachusetts. Massa
chusetts haa such wondorful roads.
It waa Indood Tory Intorotlng seo-
Inc all tho historical plncos I had
to often road about. Tho Now
England States aro full of inter
esting landmarks, especially to tho
atndent of Amorlcnn history.
From Doston I wonf Jo Now
port, R. I. Newport Ih without
exception tho most bountiful spot
I havo toon. Tho mngnlflccnt
summer homes (thoy aro virtually
palaces) of Amorica'a Rreat mil
lionaires, surrounded by their
magnlflcont gardons and sot up on
a magnlflcont bluff overlooking tho
broad Atlantic, Is a picture novor
to be forgotton.
Took tho Fall Rlvor stonmor for
New Tork, whoro I spont flvo dnys.
Juat a llttlo disappointed In Now
Tork, probably on nccount of tho
dullness of tho summer season.
Thero Is a great numbor of Inter
esting things to bo seen In Now
Tork.
I sallod from Now York July
27 on tho steamor Olympic Una
a very flno nnd pleasant trip nil
the way across. For onco I was
free from Hen sickness. I hnd
orten thought on my trips up ami
down botwoon Coos Day and San
Francisco If It was possible to
build n Btoamor largo enough to
free me from seaslcknoss. Thoy
havo auccoodod nnd sho Is truly a
wondorful steamor In ovory way.
Arrived In Plymouth on tho
sixth' day, whoro wo stopped long
enough to put off Bomo passen
gers and tho mall, Plymouth Is
a very quaint English eoacoast
town and a Tory Important naval
base for England. My, but rt did
Boom good to seo land after six
days of nothing but wntor. I
From Plymouth wo crossod tho
English channel to Chorboug,
Franco, whoro tho Paris passen
gers dlsombarkcd. Cherbourg Is
also a very Important naval bnso.
for France. Rocrosslng tho chan
nel, arrlvod at Southampton early
the morning of tho sovonth day.
Friends Invited mo to motor with
them from Southampton up to
London. It was a delightful trip
I m I ii i ' - '
of 82 miles, and a most pleasant
Introduction to tho bonutlcs of
England. Tho brick wnlls, lmdgos,
and thatched roofs were now nnd
Interesting to mo.
Remained thrco days In London,
which of course, was much too
short a tlmo to bco such an im
portant city. Mudo tho boat of
tho tlmo I had, and saw tho House
of Parllamonr, WcBtininstor Abboy,
St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham
Palace, British Musoum, London
Bridge, Towor of Loudon, and tho
many interesting squares and mon
umontB so numerous In London.
Took a boat trip down tho Thames
to Greenwich, which was most ln
tcstlng. Tho Thames ombankmont
is Justly noted for its great pic
turcsqucness. From London I wont to Brus
sels, crossing tho channol via Dovor
nnd Calais. Tho channol trip j
noted for its sovorlty, and it was
no oxcoptlon tho day I crossod,
but tho crossing took only an
hour, bo I did not havo tlmo to
Buccumb. I now apprcclato fully
tho often discussed "white cliffs"
of Dover. From tho mlddlo ot
tho channol, duo to tho Peculiar
clay formation, tho cliffs havo al
most n chalk wluto uppouranco.
From Calais to Brussels is a flvo
hour journoy by train. Tho riao
through Franco and Bolglum was
bo enjoyable Evory inch ot tho
ground la under cultivation, Doing
divided up Into smull farms. Tho
mothods of farming aro thu eamo
no woro used by their fathers and
grandfathers. You seo moro wo
men than men working in tho
Holds. Oxen aro used for heavy
farm work, moro than horses.
BrusculB is charming. It la woli
named "Tho Miniature Paris." The
peoplo scorn a froo and easy picas-uro-lovlng
sort. Brussols Is full ot
Intorest for tho tourist. Tho roy
al palaco Is ono of tho fow beau
tiful royal palaces in Europe rt
lias boon recently built, so looks
now and Imposing. Tho royal pal
aces as n wholo aro very disap
pointing as to tho exterior. I
think wo Amorlcans aro apt to for
got they havo many of thorn boon
standing for hundrods of yoaru.
Tho hall of Justico, built on top
'of a hill, Ib considered ono ot tho
I en-
Joyed tho DrusBola plctura gallory
more so than any gallery I havo
seen In Europe It Is not as long
ns many galleries, but ovory pic
luro scorns n mnstorploco.
Tho Grand Placo, a sort of city
nnuaro. In which Is located the
Hotel do Vlllo, Is tho moBt Inter
esting squaro I have soon. Evory
building Is of a wondorful arcni-
tccturo, and bo unlquo. Mucn
gliding la used In tho oxtorlor dec
orations and tho offect Is very fas
cinating. Tho churches, stntuos
and boulevards ot Brussels nro nil
beautiful.
Antworp Is only a half hour's
trolloy rldo from Brussols. Spont
only a fow hours In Antworp. i
wont through tho fnmoua Antwerp
Cathodrnl and Baw tho two world
ronownod RubonB' pictures of tho
"Descent from tho Cross." Ant
worp teems with historical Inter
est. From Brussols I wont south to
Paris. It would requlro pages and
pages to try and mention tho many
wondorful attractions of Paris. I
saw It aulto thoroughly. Wont
through tho historical Notro Dame
Cathodrnl, tho Pantheon, La Made-
Inlno. Trnenilnrn. tho world-ronown-
I od Louvro gnllory. In which ono
could spond weeks, Luxembourg
gnllory and many ouier pincua ioo
numorous to mention. Attended a
lorfornianco of Rlgolotto at tho
,'nrls Orand Opera Houso. which
Is consldored tho most beautiful
building as to Interior decoration,
in tho world. It la truly very
magnlflcont.
My noxt stopping placo was
Cologno,, whoro I wont through

Finally camo Berlin, which wbb
most wolcomo aftor two months
of gadding about. Berlin like
Paris and London rcqulrca col
umns in do It iuatico. Such clean
Btroora and auch a wondor,ful light
ing nvstnm is to bo found In no
other city In tho world. At long
no I havo been noro, ovon now
ovory tlmo 1 go out, I can't help
exclaiming at tho wondorful clean
liness. Tho strcotB fairly shlno,
they nro bo smooth. Four largo
arc lights suspended In tho mld
.lln of tho Btroot. to ovory block.
Borlln is modorn In ovory rospoct
and lacks much of tho fascination
rni- tm inuriBt wnicn otnor Eu
ropean cities possess. Miles and
miles of npartmont houses, all flvo
stories high. Thoy must bo built
flvo stories, not moro and no loss.
Tho plcturo gallorles, musoums nnd
pnlaceB of uornn nro nu jnmrcoi
lng and good.
Spont a fow dayB In Dresden
rccontly. Drcsdon Is vory old and
very plctureequo. Tho Drosdon
plcturo gallory containing Raph
ael's world-famous Slstlno Madonna
(tho most valuablo painting in tno
world) Jb consldored ono ot tho
nincst gnllorles of today. Whilo in
Drosdon took a sldo trip to MoIb
son. noted for Ub famous o a
modlnvnl castles. Tho royal por
celain factory is also in Meis
sen nnd wno most Interesting. I
spont a day In Saxon, Switzerland,
which contains somo mnrvolous
mountnln sconory.
I spont last Monday at Pota
dnm, a suburb of Borlln, which xb
tho military contor of Germany. I
went through' tho fnr-famod SanB
Soucl palaces and gardons whilo in
Potsdam. Tho San 8oucl palaco
was built by Frederick tho Groat
In 1745-47, and Is still In its an
ginal decorations a mnrvol of
beauty. Also wont through tho
now Sans Soucl palaco, used by
tho present Knlsor ns a Bummor
nalaco.
I am hard at work at my mu
sic, nractlclng from four to six
hours dnlh. I nm studying with
Victor Holnzo. tho man I worked
with In Chicago for threo years.
Borlln has wondorful advantages
for tho music student. Tho world's
croatcst teachers aro hero, and
thoro aro hundrods ot concerts glv
on horo very season, ono has so
oral concorta to choose from night
ly, and it Is BomotlmoB porplox
Ing to know which ono to attend.
Thoro aro hundrods of American
students horo.
Thoro is an erroneous idea In
Amorlca that music Btudy la cheap
In Gormnny, and other European
centers. I camo ovor with aomo
what- that Idea, but soon hnd It
knocked out ot mo. Living Is as
oxponsivo, nnd In most cases moro
so than in our largo American
cities. Lessons from the best
teachers nro very oxponsivo. In
most cases ten dollars an hour.
It Is mostly Amorlcans who enn
afford to nay that. Concerts nnd
a fow of tho luxuries such as cabs
and taxis aro cheap. Clothing and
othtor necessities nro equally as high
as In America. It tho conditions
woro bettor known throughout Am
orlca, thoro would bo many less
cases ot stranded Americans. Too
many people judgo conditions as
they were many years ago. Living
In our country was nlso much
cheaper somo years ago.
I don't know just how long
shall remain over here. At least
threo years, and probably five, or
six. Expect to come out to the
exposition in 1915. and will then
como back to Borlln via Honolulu,
China, Japan and India, and the
Mediterranean countries.
I camo over horo with tho In
tentlon of remaining until I h'nvo
appeared with somo of the big or
chestrns. That requires a great
deal of study and preparation, I
havo beon guaranteed thre orches
tra appearances providing I remain
three years. So It looks as though
my ambition will be realized. Mr,
Helnzo nlso exnecta me to play
In recltnl hero In Borlln.
I hone everything Is flourishing
in good old Coos, nnd that I will
bo nblo to como In by train In
1915.
