Emperor Yoshihito’s Temperature
101.48 Saturday Afternoon;
Was 99.2 Friday Night.
TOKIO. May 25.—Although there
was an abatement early to-day of
approximately four degrees in his
fever, the temperature of Emperor
Yoshihito, who is ill of pneumonia,
later rose more than two degrees. It
was 101.48 degrees this afternoon.
The following bulletin was issued
this morning from the Aoyoma pal
ace, signed by two of the eight phy
sicians who are attending the imper
ial patient:
“His majesty has passed a favor
able night and shows encouraging
improvement. His temperature is
99.2, pulse 76 and respiration 36.”
News that improvement was shown
in the condition of the Mikado caused
great rejoicing throughout the em
pire, but especially in this city. Pray
ers of thanksgiving were offered up
and a ministerial order was pro
claimed allowing the theaters to re
open.
Empress Sadaka spent several
hours at the bedside of her husband
to-day. She insists upon ministering
to him and was much rejoiced to
learn of his change for the better.
Congratulations From U. S.
The bulletin expressing news of
the Mikado’s improvement was car-1
ried to the foreign office, where the
Cabinet was in session discussing the
diplomatic controversy with the!
United States over the California j
anti-alien land law.
Arthur Blanchard Bailey, Charge j
d’Affaires of the United States Em
bassy-, conveyed his congratulations
to the imperial family that the Mika
do showed improvement and that he !
hoped it would continue.
Special services will be held in the I
Christian churches to-morrow.
Every Bone
Musical Ability Permeates Nearly
Every Tissue, Surgeon
Discovers.
If that gold bearing:, silver toned
voice of Fnrieo Caruso’s ever fail.s
him, all lie will have to do, accord
ing to the latest medical lore, is to
go around tapping himself on tile
bones and the vibrations that result
will be musical. He can tap his
knuckles and get a pleasing jingle,
whereas, with most folk, the result
would only be a discord.
Music, according to the new au- j
thority, is built into the frame. If
one’s chest and bones and throat art-
put together on p musical basis, there
isn’t any power on earth that can
keep the owner of the melodiously
built frame from being musical.
Dr. William Lloyd, the famous
London throat specialist, found f he
advantage that Caruso has over tho
rest of mankind when he made a re
cent examination. He found that
Caruso had physical characteristics
that allowed him to produce musical
sounds in almost unlimited volume
and that the quality of the structure
of the throat was just as much

Music in His Bones.
The chest capacity of the singer
gave him unusual aid in work, while
! the peculiar construction of the en-
I tire throat machinery enabled him to
let loose vibrations at a higher rate
than almost any other subject.
Then the doctor found that Caruso
had music in his bones.
The simple tapping of the Caruso
knuek.es resulted in a vibration that
was different from that of an ordinary
mortal. The pitch of the vibration
produced by a blow' is higher and
more resonant.
The distance from the front teeth
to the vocal cords is half an inch
more than in most tenors, and the
vocal tube, the doctor found, was of
unusual length.
In other words, Caruso was just
built that way when it came to sing
ing.
The suggestion that comes from
the doctor’s report on the plans and
specifications of the Caruso throat
and mouth is one that might give
the commercial age a chance to lo
cate future singers without the slight
est trouble.
All that would be necessary would
be for the experts in throat construc
tion to go around to the schools and
examine the children, sort them out
in bunches and let them develop.
Easy to Pick Artists.
It would be perfectly easy to pick
out the boys whose bones, vocal
corrls and throat material had the
tenor elevation, while the basso and
baritone chaps might be known by
the way their bones were set.
So little Willie Jones would not
have any trouble knowing what his
future will be. He could tell tile
teacher that there was no use trying
to pound electrical engineering <r
cube root into him, because the school
doctor had picked him out as a singer
REAL KNEE JERK'
Man From Monk Offers to Tell
Beavers Just How Far Patrol
man Walks in a Night.
Georgia has produced another ce
lebrity in Hurry Winthrop, of Monk,
Ga. Investigation show:! that Monk
is on the Atlanta and West Point
Railroad, near Fairburn, not a great
distance from Atlanta. It now will
take its place in the hall of fame as
the home of a famous inventor.
The Monk man fias invented the
“knee jerk.” This is not the knee
jerk that alienists use in testing in
sane criminals, but is a .mechanical
device to record the distance walked
by policemen on their beats.* It is
termed the ‘ Knee jerk,’’ says the in
ventor, for the reason that it Is
strapped to the knee and registers
every time a step is taken by the.
wea rer.
All of this information came out
Friday in a letter received by Uhief
<>f Police Beavers from Winthrop. who
urged that his invention be tried out
by the Atlanta police department. Ho
explained that he has already taken
up the matter with the N»w York
police department, but. being a Geor
gian himself, he is anxious for At
lanta to “get in on the ground floor.”
He made the proposition to equip the
entire police department of 250 men
with “knee jerks" at $50 each. The
regular price, he suggested, is $100
each. It will, therefore, cost Atlanta
but $12,500 to ascertain the distance
each policeman walks on his beat.
“The knee jerk registers only when
the policeman is actually walking—
there is no chance for him to make it
register while sitting or lying down.”
writes the inventor.
He added:
“The knee jerk is something on the
order of a speedometer, although not
quite so heavy. It is an accurate
gauge to show whether policemen are
properly patrolling their beats.”
As Chief Beavers chucked the let
ter in a waste basket, he laughingly
| remarked that he didn’t think At-
i lanta quite ripe yet for the “knee
jerk.”
“1 think I’ll write to Mr. Winthrop
| however, and suggest that he give
| Monk the honor of first trying out hi?
I wonderful invention.”

Cook School to Make

LONG BRANCH. N. J., May 25—“A

Once in possession of the scale, a
flexible foot rule will answer all of

Naturally, the critic might profit by
the development of science and place
his art upon the exact status of
mathematics by closing his criticism
of a singer in seme fashion like this:
“Miss Smith-Jones-Brown cannot
sing. That we may not- be accused
of bias, we submit that it is only
three inches and seven-sixteenths
from the southwest corner of the eye
tooth to the extended arc subtended
by the vocal cord; hence, quod erat
demonstrandum, she hasn’t a ghost
of a chance to sing because It would
take four-sixteenths of an inch more
of space to even get in the class
where the lady could gargle songs
through a megaphone at a moving
picture show.”
But that is getting science down to
a point that is beyond the average

doctor, and doctors do not a-gree.
who could not escape his future even
if he tried.
The veriest chump of a teacher
would know that if the front teeth
of one of her pupils had half an inch
the start on the other pupils in the
race from the vocal cords the owner
of the unhandicapped teeth had a
cincty on becoming great as a
warbler.
On the other hand the young men
and young women who have been
spending their money at conserva
tories tryin~ to cultivate voices that
are not and never will be will have
a chance to find out just where they
stand in the realm of art.

Walsh is quoted as saying his arm is
“far from right,” and attributing his

Acoording to the doctor, saliva needed
for Walsh’s digestion has been used on
the ball. With care the pitcher may be

Hitting the Bullseye

He was a tall, lean, lank individual.
He wore a black slouch hat and his
mustache was long and gave him a
fierce look. Nine men who saw him
strolling along Forsyth Street put him
down for a mountaineer come to town
o see ihe sights. He looked the part
to perfection.
The tall buildings interested him
mightily. So did the post office. He
•veil went' inside to get a better view
of the architecture. Then he walked
over ami took a good look at the work
hey are doing on the new llealy build
ing at Forsyth and Wklton.
The huge power-driven derricks were
a puzzle io him. But he made no com
ment. Others in the little crowd that
watched the work talked a good deni,
but Mr. Mountaineer said never a word,
iiis eyes and brain were busy. Wiiat lie
* hought he kept to himself.
Tired of seeing others work, he con-
nued his stroll until he mured the

these targets are in the shape of ducks.

got used to it. He blazed away time

Executive Committee of National
Committee Meets in First
“Get Together” Assemblage.
WASHINGTON, May 25 The first
“get together” assemblage of the Re
publican party since the Democratic
landslide last November convened
here to-day when the Executive Com
mittee of the Republican National
Committee met at the New Willard
to diagnose and prescribe a cure for
the party’s ailments.
Members of the committee tackled
the question of readjusting the basis
of representation in national conven
tions gingerly, and all conceded this
to be the paramount question facing
the party.
The meeting was called to order by
National Chairman Charles D. Hilles.
Among the others present were Na
tional Secretary Reynolds, National
Treasurer Sheldon, J. P. Goodrich, of
Indiana; Alvah H. Martin, of Vir
ginia; Thomas K. Neidringhaus, of
Missouri; Charles B. Warren, of
Michigan, and Roy O. West, of Illi
nois.
Although the committee was not
empowered to take, decisive action, a
delegation of Senators and Represen
tatives urged the committee to call a
national convention for this purpose,
and to make the State the unit of
representation instead of the con
gressional district as at present.
“If there Is to be a change from the
population basis of representation to
the basis of representation on voting
strength, we must no,t act precipi
tately or we may find the South
against us,” said Mr. Neidringhaus.
“There are 53 members of the Na
tional Committee, and a majority of
27 controls. The members from the
Southern States and the Territories
total 23, and it is easy to see if a few
Northerners joined with them they
could easily prevent the committee
from taking action. What we need is
statistics.”
Martin, the only Southern member
on the committee, declared he saw
no necessity for changing the basis
of representation. *
“I deny that the Southern Republi
cans are venal, as has been charged,”
he said. “I think the Democratic
tariff bill is going to help us In the
next campaign.”

ITS ALL IN THE
EXAMINATION
A pair of glasses are more than worthless if the
lenses are not absolutely correct. The correct lenses
cannot be properly fitted unless a careful examination
is made by a competent and skillful operator, aided by
the latest scientific eye-testing instruments and ap
pliances. Of course, the comfort of a pair of glasses
depends a great deal on the fit of the frames, the proper
adjustment of eyeglass mountings to the nose, and upon
the size and shape of lenses. But primarily and most
important of all is the correct fitting of the lenses. The
experience necessary to properly diagnose a difficult
ease of eye trouble requiring correction by glasses is
not obtained in a day, and the longer these years of ex
perience, the more you can depend upon the results ob
tained by your Optician. Our fifty years’ growth has
produced for you the very best optical service obtain
able. We offer you the best-equipped fitting rooms, the
very latest styles of frames and mountings, the newest
shapes and tints of lenses, the Kryptok Invisible Bi
focals, moderate prices, and we make every possible
effort to serve you pleasantly and satisfactorily. Come
