Failure to corre late their rhythm results dismally. sometimes humorously, as in the first experiment of "interlapping." when. more than one kind of sound was transmitted at a time.

The Inhabitants' of the little vil lage ot Bernard, three miles frohi here, experienced their first tidal wave today. Unexplained in its origin, .the phenomenon which ec ru red about noon caused the sud den emptying of Bans Harbor fol lowed a few minutes later by a ten f odt rush of water and then two smaller waves. No one was injured but about fifty fishing boats were hurled ashore and two men In a dory had a narrow es cape from falling; cakes of ice when their craft was suddenly grounded. Tho first sign of something wrong -was a rumbling from the direction of the harbor.' Towns people ran to the: piers to see their harbor -emptied with a rush. William1 Kelley. who has a fish packing plant on the eastern shore of the barbor told -what happened next. t - .j- "It was , about tow tide when the first' wave came," he said. It floVed In- steadily ' like the even flow of a river. Then; came (wo lesser,, ones, and in less than ten minute's the whole harbor was filled to near ' highwater mark. Great, whirlpools wera formed. Small' boats were tosed About at their moorings and the seventy foot -fishing smack Fish Hawk broke from her lines at the Under wood jdock and crashed against the pilings. The entire harbor was a masi of foam. i "The .water left the harbor so rapidly thatra waterfall was cre ated at the harbor mouth. In less than fifteen minutes it was all over.' I The -chief menace to the. fisher men was the tumbling of the ice cakes to the bottom of the har bor. Chester Sawyer and Forest Albee were anchored in their dory near Parkers wharf when the wa ter was sucked from beneath them and the dory went aground. They ran for shore, dodging the crash ing Ice cakes.

How are conditions today ? Better? Or worse? , i These are questions which The Statesman sought to have answered. Mayor J. B. Giesy, head of the city government, was asked to pictured conditions before prohibition, and express his opinion on condi tions today. In his official capa city, he Is? intimately conversant with problems of the present. As a long time resident of Salem, he recalls ' vividly the days before prohibition. ! There were either 15 or 17 saloons ii Salem before the ,pro hibition amendment went into ef fect," stated Mayor j. B. Giesy when interviewed. "So bad was the condition that ir was a rare sight to see a re spectable lady walk ' along tho north side of State street between High and Commercial streets. 'Conditions "were so undesirable that any woman realized she would doubtless be insulted by some drunken rowdy. ! "In front of each saloon a rrowd of loafers was a daily sight. Usually the sidewalks were litter ed up in a disgraceful: manner. "It was nothing unusual to walk down the street in those days and to see from one to a dozen drunks staggering around. There was hardly a day but what a rumpus or street fight of some sort did not take place. "Drunks were so ordinary that L.o one even paid attention to the most of them. They were just taken for granted until they be came too offensive. Often, when passing a saloon, you! could hear loud talk and profanity from in? side. "Carousing and drunkeness were common during the eve nings. Women scarcely dared to go down town alone after dark. Gambling was -wide topen in the saloons. No pretense was7 made to stop that gambling. "One or two sajoqhs tried to run respectable' places, as tar as the nature of their business would permit, but for the most part the saloohs did not even; pretend to keep their places from being hell holes.
