‘_ A really excellent concert was preâ€" wnted in the United Church on Thursâ€" thy night here, under the auspices of the choir. To some of us, who are getâ€" hng used to turning a dial to«#et our imusical inspiration and diet, it comes mws somewhat of a shock to know that here in our own home town, there is ‘Talent with a capital T. We forget that the producers of the music which pomes to us from distant places originâ€" ate such towns as our ownâ€"but a proâ€" phet, or a musician (0r a hotkey playâ€" tr?) is not without honour, save in his cwn country! Therefore, although the United Church, was filled to capaâ€" tity on Thursday the programme preâ€" kented was good enough to have filled a hall of much larger dimensions. Each Htem was in itself good, there was not programme to tire us, and the yariety of entertainment was stimulatâ€" ing. Dr. Fraset acted efficiently as thairman, Mr. Suttee as choir leader and director, and Miss Wanless and Miss Coritne Carlson as accompanists, Excellent Concert by South Porcupine Choir Mrs. W. W. Wilson who was rppointâ€" td president of the choir at the last election, was responsible to a certain Pxtent for promoting the concert and to her a vote of thanks is due. The poncert stands out as a complete sucâ€" * The choir opened with "Ye Gates Lift up your Heads," and followed with The Bells of St. Mary‘s". These, and fTollowing numbers of the choir wore finely sungâ€"some excellent voices in both bass and soprano blending well with the tenors and contraltos, but not drowning them out! ‘‘ Bouth Porcupine, April 25th. pial to The Advance. : Mrs. A. Stanlake, whose beautiful effortless soprano is not heard often gnough, excelled herself when she sang FFor All Eternity". A deserved encore was responded to with ‘"When the Apâ€" ples Grow on a Lilac Tree" Beautiful songs, really beautifully sung! After the choir sang ‘"The Harp that once," Mr. Tom Kelly sang ‘"Don‘t Forget the Old Folks." This met with a good reâ€" ception. One of the outstanding numbers came next by the male section of the choir, "O Who Will O‘er the Downs With Me!" Sung unaccompanied,â€"an Old Country glee, sung superbly. Two visitors from â€" Timminsâ€"Mr. Popischel and Mr. Leo Smitmanâ€" ‘cello and violinâ€"delighted the audiâ€" ence with their real talent. Mr. Popisâ€" chel is known to us and has played here before, but the violinist is new and in his rendition of "Sunrise and You," proved his ability. Upon an encore beâ€" ing demanded be played "One Fleeting Hour.‘" _ _Miss Betty McIntoshâ€"a little girl of 13â€"astonished us when she played a classical pianoforte solo with good technique, and also accompanied it with a remarkably clever imitation of a bird whistleâ€"and a musical birdâ€" whistle too, reminding us of an Old Country nightingaleâ€"and, in order to correct the impression that she did it with a whistle of some kina in her mouth, we want to tell the world that it was real whistle unsupported by George Woodsâ€"possesed of a fine tenor voiceâ€"sang "Smilin‘ Thro," and was rapturously encored.

Explanation of Why Rats Leave the Ship Wellâ€"Known Jack Tar Says it is Knowledge Not Inâ€" stinect. letter written by Mr. Doiing re "r@‘ s leaving ship." There is, or rather, hais been. truth in this matter in years past, but from knowledge of oldâ€"time sailors and discussion of the topic of rats which I have,heard from time to time on different ships, I would say it is not instinot which tells these rodents that a ship is doomed. but knowledge. The desertion of a ship by rats is raâ€" ther confined to wooden ships. A rat will penetrate to the vitals of a ship, where a sailor would be puzzled to folâ€" low. A ship is like other vessels, such as ‘boilers, etc., in the fact that its strength lies in its weakest part. The rats, like other rodents, can tell the best and thinnest po‘nt of penetration, as householders know only too well by loss of food. Soa, consequently, whilst the rats are delving below for fodder, they discover a weak spot where no food is to be found, ‘but death. These parâ€" ticular ships have been too long out of dryâ€"dock, anrnd rats are no fools, and like the birds of the air and all creaâ€" tures of wild nature, they seek a proâ€" To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins interesting pioneer pericd of British Columbia.
