Gully Reporter (April 24): The fishing trip of A. 0. Wehus and Anton Melbo as chronicled in last week’s issue panned out better than was ex- pected. The party returned Thurs- day evening and had a fine catch of pickerel, the size of which would seem more like a fish story than a reality. if they had not had the fish to show for it. Two of the pickerel weighed between twenty and twenty- five pounds and were as fine a speci- men of the finny tribe as a person would care to see. They were as gen- erous as their luck was good and the fish ‘that they gave to their friends were as good as their generosity was great. The following was taken from the Kelliher Journal: “Sunday after- noon Orrin Noble and Ruth Grytbak brought Mrs. Esten Roe from Eland and Monday Dr. Gunn with Mr. Noble took her to St. Anthony’s hos- pital in Bemidji, where in a few days she will be operator on for tumor, which will probably save her life. Mrs. Roe has been failing for some| time and it is thought an operation might be successful.” The Pioneer is informed that. Mrs. Roe has not un- dergone an operation as yet, as it is necessary that she gain some strength before the Operation can take place. It is expected that she. will be oper- ated upon next week.

SCUNDS THAT ARE NOT HEARD In Many, the Limit Is Either Too High or Too Low for the Human Ear to Catch. In the sense of hearing numerous problems. have interested the experi- mental psychologist. Among these may be mentioned the range of sounds that can be heard by an individual, that is, the limit both above and be- low which no sound can be heard. The solution of these two problems, the determination of the upper and lower limit of sound, has occasioned a great deal of careful work and the construction of many forms of appara- tus.. For determining the upper limit of sound for any individual, and in- dividuals differ considerably, the Gal ton whistle is generally used. It consists of a tiny pipe, which iz lengthened or shortened by a piston adjusted by a micrometer screw. Thig little instrument can be regulated to make a tone which is too high for any human ear to hear, and which will fin- ally produce only a painful sensation. The Galton whistle was devised by Francis Galton for his study of indi- vidual differences. He had one of the whistles built into the end of his cane, says the Strand Magazine, and as he walked through 'the Zoological Gar dens he would blow it near the ears of the various animals. He adjusted the whistle too high for his own ear to hear, and if the various animals re. sponded to the sound he knew that their upper limit was greater than that of the human ear. . The ordinary human ear can detect ‘a tone whose vibration rate is at least 25,000 vibrations a second, while the whistle will produce 50,000 a second. This upper limit varies with the age of the individual to such an extent that, if the upper limit at 16 years of age were 50,000 vibrations, at 60 yeara of age it would be about 25,000 a sec ond. TWO OPINIONS AS TO MERIT Mr. Blank’s Verdict on Dancer Did » Not at All Agree With That Expressed by His Wife. At a social gathering a bachelor with a somewhat satirical opinion of feminine prejudice approached a party of women who happened to be speak: ing of plays and players they had seen during the last season in New York. “By the way,” he ventured casuaHy, “did any of you go to see Gaby Des Lys while you were there?” “We saw her in London,” .repl.(el Mrs. Blank, “What did you think of her?” “Oh, she was positively nil. She couldn’t sing or dance and she was 8¢ bold that Mr. Blank and I were both disgusted as well as disappointed,” came the ready criticism. . The topic changed and the bachelor excused himself to join the men in an other room. His curiosity was arous ed, and finding Mr. Blank’s ears nof directly engaged, he slngled him ouf for a chat. “You saw Gaby Des Lys in London. did you not?” he began. “Gaby?” responded Mr. Blank with a sudden impetus of interest. “Yes, | saw her in London and I sneaked of and saw her again in New York, too She certainly is a peach!” Profitable Swindle Ended. A curious fact about London sand- wichmen has been revealed in the working of the insurance act. The act has spoiled a little game which cer- || tain sandwichmen used to play with great profit. A man would hire hime self to one employer and go off with the boards. But he would merely de- posit them in some secret corner and then go and offer himself to another employer. - In' some cases this could be worked several times over without detection. In the evening the man would deliver up the boards in the order in ‘which he had received them. But the working of the insurance act Stewart, | 18 gave the show away, for these plural- had perionce w),th Seldiitr Pows Startling Soene la. monarch became deeply {nterested in the ' accounts ofi the - refreshing draught. ‘A box.was: brought to the king in full court, and the interpreter prht.ned to his ma!nty hmv 1t lhould Intoa .oblat he vnt the contenta of the twelve blue papers, ‘and, having added water, the king drank it off.

Everybody jumped to . their feet,. for they saw the roof had been carried away. They were about to turn and make one dash for the exits, when the comedian, com- ing down to the footlights, looked up into the air, and, quick -as a flash, turned to the lady, and sald: * ‘There, what did I tell you?’ “The audience howled with laugh- ter, .-and the quick-witted comedian was undoubtedly the means of: pre- venting a serious calami Paris “One Hundred” Club.

Man is a creature of habit. He is doing things, unin- tentionally and unknowingly, every day from force of | habit. . He reads the newspaper for news because it has be- come a habit and he has unintentionally acquired the habit of glancing at-the ads. This is-evident as when people buy - soap, baking powder, canned goods, etc., they buy a certain ‘Why? Because they have unknowingly read and been influenced by advertising. We generally buy products . that are well advertised. A-large number of readers see ads but few stop to read them, unless the ads are attractive. The advertiser should ructeach ad as to catch and hold the casual :glance ‘It is capturing the casual glance that counts. : That glance must interest the reader in the subject . matter of the ad, and when that interest is created the chances are certain that the reader will want to read the “If an ad isn’t read, it’s dead.” It is a matter of common knowledge that a reader per- uses-the paper for the news, whatever the news may be. * The news the reader is looking foris the news that interests. _Therefor it-pays:the advertiser to so construct his ads, giv- ing business news, as to attract and interest the reader. Why is it that department stores, house furnishing, and automobile advertxesments are read so generally? Because 80 ¢ of the reader. ° ad to.the end: they contain so much interesting matter of news value. ‘Whether or not ads are read depends upon whether or not the ads are worth reading. The.reader tells at.a glance whether or not he wants to read an ad, and if he does not it is the advertiser’s fault. If the advertiser wants his ads read he must.educate himself to write ads worth reading.
