TO BE RECKONED WITH When appearing a entertain ers, whether in the home, the public hall or the open air, there are certain conditions peculiar to the environment which should receive careful consideration. A speaker who can modulate his tone ho that his audience can hear his discourse distinctly has paim-d u point of advantage, and if he can then maintain i plane just above that of his hear crs so as to lead them in thought his efforts will be appreciated, as will all occasions where he emphasizes what his audience already believes. Likewise the singer or musi cian has to reckon with environ ment where he occupies, taking into consideration the accoustic properties whether parlor, hall or the open air, and the distance to which tone must penetrate as well as the purpose for which the assembly lias congregated. Having observed all these it is then necessary to remember the lesson Elder Brewster taught when he remarked that "he ex pected to sing 'Old Hundred' after he would get to Heaven," that of association. High class music is excellent for the display of talent am training, but it may be of too high a standard for the listener and then there is not that appre ciation which otherwise would obtain. To natisfy the demands of all classes each must be met within the bounds of his or hei comprehension. Some Differences Urcgon lias lieen lavoring us with some ilelightlul weather, during the past week, although Saturday and Sundav were a lit tle warm and ice cream was in demand. Mureury registered well up in the eighties, in the shade, and the average Oregon- iau felt like staying in the shade too. Up in Newfoundl uul, which is far lo the Northward on the Eastern coast, on Monday citiz ns were sweltering, heat being S degrees in the the the shade; down in Georgia a snow sUniii was raging, each of these instances having no precedent in the localities mentioned for the month of April so far as history goes. In the South the cotton crop is reported materially in jured and most likely other damages obtained. In lYnnsyl vania rains have Hooded the anthracite regions and put 10 "i(t coal miners out of employ ment. Is llalley's comet guilty ? Wo tried kindling tire, one morning this week, with u small amount of powder mixed with our kindlings well we didn't do nothing but we won't do it again. The effort, however, was not intentional. Zook, the paper hanger will do your painting. Kxtreme heat to the far north ward; verging toward the frigid zone toward the equator, at one and the same time, are incidents of note and if these conditions are laid to the credit of Halley's comet that gaseous wanderer through space must be an erratic creature in the dispensation of its behests. The Portland base ball team is forging ahead, having first dace in the Pacific Coast League and ought to honor Oregon by capturing the pennant. Frank Mulkey and J. B. Wright visited Sheridan and Willamina Monday and Tuesday in the in terest of the Normal School in itiative petition and came back with three hundred names added to the list Frank says that the citizens of those towns treated them royally and he was very much elated at the success achieved and the interest mani fested. A Fatal Accident Word reached here a few days ago of a fatal accident which oc curred in the hop yard of Horst Brothers near Independence last Friday by which C. W. Burright lost his life. Mr. Burright was working with a stump puller and was be hind the sweep when the tugs broke letting the lever fly back with terrible lorce. lie was struck on the right arm and side and expired in about an hour after the accident.
