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.
Mr. Burright leaves a wife and
a large family the youngest of
whom is but a few months old,
to mourn their bereavement.
