HOII,
Ihe display of Monday evening
reached its first maximum of illumi
nation at about S d'clou!; and cnntin
ued to pass from maxiiiwim to mini
mum at Intervals ot 3U minutes until
11:30, when thu more striking phe--nomeiia
failed to reapiear. At one
maximum the greatest display wouTd

be in the northwest, and occasionally
which we have not seen In any pievi-
ous aurora: Circular luminous clouds,
glowing nebula, would appear alteve
the aurora. These would suddenly, as
it we-e, explode, scattering heir iight
over vast areas. These clouds of lu
minosity would appear in rapid, regu
lar succession above tho crest of the
aurora, as if they were waves sent off
from some mighty wireless generator.
The aurora borealis is a very striking
and .awe-inspiring prenomenon and I
was surprised today to tind so few
people in Salem who had witnessed
center ana front streets, was report
ed to police this morning. According
to a report made at headquarters an
auto drove up to the barn late Wed
nesday night. One of the occupants
got out and entered the barn.
An old man stationed there as
watchma l paid little heed for . a
while, and when the intruder did not
reappear, he searched for him, and
found him near the egg store, room.
When he was asked what he wanted,
he said he was looking for a place to
sleep.
The auto reappeared at about ono
that of Monday evening. For a goodloclock tn'8 morning, and the fellow
many centuries natural philosophers I made a second attempt to enter. The
have speculated on the plivslcal cause
of tho aurora; it still remains some
what obscure. From remote times ob
servers have noted many uuggeative
facts with reference to the aurora, viz.,
that the streamers of lignt coincide
with the magnetic meridians of the
earth; that the aurora is periodic and
correspond to sunspot periods, and
magnetic storms on the sun and earth;
that the
number of the car was taken and do-
lice were aiding iA a search for it today.

Cheney Orchestral
Chambers .
The small, medium aad
large chambers develop
nigh, intermediate and low
tones respectively.
Tones are reflected from flat
surfaces-the distortion re
eultmafromreflectionsfrom
curyed surfaces is avoided.
This original invention in -the
Cheney is of great im
portance in keeping all tones
in proper relations to the
whole.
The Significance
of Tone Control
One cornetist, in an orchestra of a hundred
pieces, could destroy the masterful work of the
- others by playing hi3 part too loudly.
Similarly the most beautiful musical reproduc'
. tion loses its charm if the component parts or
the original are not held in proper balance. ,
Tone control in The Cheney has been brought
to a high state of perfection through the in
vention of a series of resonating chambers.
Not only is the rich quality of the onginal
brought out in all its beauty, but every
maintains its relative tonal value.
