Newspaper Page TextTHE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON Oboe, W ooden Instrum ent, B u ilt in T h re e Sections Often called the hautboy, the oboe is a wooden instrument of conical bore played with a double reed. Built in three sections—“top joint,” “lower joint” and “bell”—the in strument contains many keys and bores. Chief improvements are due to research conducted by Barre and Triebert. Like the bassoon, it evolved from that group called pom- mers, schalmeys and bombards. The tone, peculiarly distinctive without being powerful or obtrusive, is very penetrating. Cambert first used it in the score for his opera, “Pomone,” produced in Paris in 1671, relates a writer in the Chicago Daily News. The cor anglais, not a horn, dif fers in build from the oboe in that the tube is longer and ends in a globular or pear-shaped bell, and the crook which holds the reed is bent back at an angle. Its tone quality is melancholy and good ex amples may be heard in the shep herd’s pipe melody in Act III of “Tristan,” or in the slow movement of Dvorak’s “From the New World.” Gluck wrote for it in “Alceste” and “Orfeo,” but these parts were played by the clarinet because the cor anglais was not yet a member in good standing of the orchestra. Although Mozart, Haydn and Bee thoven composed for it occasionally, . it did not become a part of the sym phonic group until Wagner demand ed it. Consisting of 'a single beating reed, the clarinet is constructed with a tube pierced with many side holes terminating in a bell. The alto and bass clarinets, however, have keys instead of holes. Supposedly invented by Denner (Nuremberg, 1690), the clarinet traces its ancestry to the chalu- meau. In 1843 Klose completely re organized the fingering, basing it on the Boehm system. Although Ra meau had used clarinets in 1751 in his opera “Acante et Daphise,” their place in the orchestra really dates to about 1770, when Mozart employed several in his “Paris” symphony. t _ i. --- ---------------- -- Various K inds o f Ships A n d Styles o f R igging A full-rigged ship is one with a bowsprit and three masts, all masts being square-rigged. Any vessel square-rigged on all masts is termed full-rigged. A barken tine is called such because it is square-rigged on the fore and schooner-rigged on the other masts. Schooner-rigged means fore and aft rigged. Any craft that has more than two masts with the fore mast square-rigged is in the barkentine class. A bark generally refers to a craft that is square-rigged on two or more masts, with one or more masts schooner-rigged. Thus a four-masted bark, according to a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer, would be square-rigged on fore, main and mizzen masts and schoon er-rigged on the jigger masts. A brig is a ship of other days, although some are found in foreign waters. It is a two-masted vessel square-rigged forward and square- rigged aft; a ship square-rigged on two masts. The hermaphrodite brig is really a brigantine and is a two- masted vessel, square-rigged for ward and schooner-rigged behind. Isle Noted for Loneliness The loneliest place in the British empire is Tristan da Cunha, the largest and the only inhabited island of a group of three situated in the middle of the South Atlantic ocean and named for a Portuguese ad miral, Tristan da Cunha, who dis covered these rocks in the sea in 1506. There is but the barest means of sustenance on the island. Fertile soil is scant, being continually washed away by rains, and rodents poach upon the carefully tended gar dens. The fish supply is plentiful except in stormy weather, when it is dangerous to venture out on the rolling sea. Tristan da Cunha is an extinct volcano, the crater of which is filled with fresh water. The near est land is St. Helena, where Na poleon died, 1,320 miles away to the north, with Cape Town 1,400 miles to the east. Head-Hunters Hate White Men The head-hunting Marindanim tribesmen of Dutch New Guinea, na tives of the island lying north of Australia, practice head-hunting as they have for hundreds of years. The Marind-anim, inhabiting the Di- goel river district, are the most sav age and successful of the head-hunt ing tribes on the island. They re gard all other tribes as implacable enemies and raid them continually for their ghastly human trophies. So intense is their hatred of the white man that few whites ever venture near them. The Dutch government makes persistent but fruitless ef forts to stamp out the habit of head hunting. Cock o’ the Walk The cocker spaniel does not get his name from his confident manner . . although that might furnish reason enough for so designating him . he is called the cocker because he was primarily used for hunting woodcock . . . incidentally, the springer spaniel comes by his name in much the same manner, says the American Wildlife insti tute. His antecedents were original ly known as “springing spaniels” because of their habit of springing towards game to flush it. Strength o f L e ft H an d A ffe cted by In te lle c t The relative strength of the left hand increases with decreasing in tellect, Paul Popenoe, Ph. D., de clares in an article on "Left-Hand edness,” in Hygeia, the health mag azine. Of course, this correlation be tween handedness and degree of mental superiority or deficiency is subject to conspicuous exceptions. But as one goes downward in the scale of intelligence, the superiority of right over the left hand, as shown by gripping tests, decreases or is even upset by a stronger left hand. The pure right-hander is found by most tests to have the advantage; the pure left-hander comes next; the various intergrades are at the bot tom of the list. Hand and foot tend to go together, so that the hand used on the spade is an almost infallible determiner of the foot which will be used on the same implement. Hand and eye likewise tend to go together, the right-handed person usually being right-eyed as well. It has sometimes been supposed that a bodily balance is the highest state, in which the individual uses the right hand singly but the left hand in batting or sweeping, this being supposed to produce or to be the result of, a more symmetric bodily development. Such a situation is found most fre quently among superior males— those of the highest intelligence— while the commoner situation, in which the individual bats right- handedly but sweeps left handedly, is more usual among other males and among all normal females re gardless of their level of intelli gence. Handedness is inborn and inher ent, though there is still some ques tion as to its inheritability. Hand edness is correlated with other fun damental, biologic differences, such as those of sex and of intellect. Handedness is also associated with the hair whorl on the crown of the head, an inherited characteristic which is little affected by training, as many persons can testify who happen to have one of these whorls on some other part of the scalp, which has stubbornly resisted the hairbrush during an entire lifetime. The righthander most frequently shows a clockwise whorl, while that of the lefthander is more likely to turn in a counter clockwise direc tion. Tan n in g o f L ea th e r W a s K n ow n to the A ncients Primitive man was content to wear fur skins. Early experiment ers, however, discovered that the hair of animal hides could be re moved and the skin made into smooth leather. The skin was soaked in bark juice for a week or more, then dried. Oil was rubbed into it to make it soft and pliable. The resulting material was more useful and less clumsy than a hairy skin. Formulas for tanning were known to the ancient Arabs and Hebrews, states a writer in the Chicago Trib une. Leather was used for apparel, shoes, leggings, wine casks, money bags, and thongs. In some lands, says th,e historian, leather disks were used as money. Beautifully worked leather was placed in the same category with ivory, silver or gold. In Egyptian tombs, leather has been found well preserved although more than 3,000 years old. Warring nations covered their ships with tough leather. Soldiers carried hide protected shields or wore thick leather armor. Expansion of Water Water, like other substances, fol lows the general law by expanding when heated, but below the temper ature of 4 deg. C. (or 32.9 deg. F.) it forms an exception to this rule. It is at its greatest density at that temperature; when cooled below that point it expands. This expan sion with freezing is of great im portance, for it keeps the ice on top of the heavier masses of water, thus preventing the solid freezing of lakes and ponds, which would cause the death of animal life in their wa ters. It also causes the bursting of water pipes in cold weather. The Equestrian Statue Although the belief that the posi tion of the horse’s feet in an eques trian statue signifies the fate of its rider in battle has been widely ac cepted, officials of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts assert that it is without basis. This opinion held that a military equestrian sta tue with the horse's four feet resting on the ground indicated that the rid er came through the battle safely, but that when the right foot was raised the rider had been killed in conflict and when both feet were raised the rider had been wounded. Research indicates, however, that sculptors are guided by artistic con siderations rather than historical significance in this matter. Hospitals Called ‘Pest Houses’ Back in early medieval history when hospitals were first getting their start they were commonly known as "pest houses " And pest houses they remained for many years, until modern science and equipment put an end to the name. Or almost, for th.oughout the coun try that term is ap; hed to the na tion's isolation hospitals by a sur prising number of people. OREGON AR M Y DAY OBSERVANCE APRIL 6 Army Day will be celebrated April 6th throughout Oregon under the sponsorship of the Military Order of the World War, according to Hon. Joseph K. Carson, Jr., mayor of Portland, recently appointed com mander of the Ninth Corps Area of the Military Order, and who is also a member of their general staff. Mayor Carson also announces the appointment of Major H. D. Bagnall, U. S. Army Recruiting Officer, Port land, as his corps area chief of staff, with Hon. James A. Fee as Judge Advocate and Dr. Ralph A. Fenton as surgeon. According to President Roosevelt: “In these troublesome and disturbed times, it is fortunate that one day a year can be designated as belonging particularly to our army, on which day public attention is focussed on the military establishment— its rea diness to assume its emergency re sponsibilities— and its requirements; if we are to afford our defenders means adequate for the successful accomplishment of the missions as signed them by the people of the United States”. The membership of the Military Order of the World War consists of those who served as officers in the World War. The order has spon sored Army Day for the past several years. A troupe of wandering minstrels will play and sing for visitors to Treasure Island during the Califor nia World’s Fair Premiere, Febru ary 18 and 19.
