A., Priucipal of Wingham : a t School, fa vored the Epworth League on Monday, evening with a most interesting and instruc- tive address on "Wireless Telegraphy." Mr. Taylor brought apparatus with him and illustrated terrestrial tele- graphy, showing the various modifica- tions of this convenience. After all, the modifications of terrestrial tele- graphy, to form the wireless system, were comparatively slight. The spea- ker showed how the etheric oscilla- tions were produced and collected by the cohere', at a distant station, and then utilized in running the relay. Mr, Taylor then discussed the impe- diments to the operators of wireless telegraphy, which are- 1—The rotundity of the earth, as the oscillations travel in straight lines. 2—The diversity of the landscape re- duces potency of vibration one-half. 41—ofo the paasssage of the osc llationsy weaher is more suitle ;Isun- light is disadvantageous. 4 -Oscillations are more easily collect- ed on Iow land than on high ground. 5—Electrical disturbances seriously in- terfere with the oscillations, so does lightning and radiant energy. 6—Swaying of poles is a serious hin- drance. But Marconi states that if we could secure terminals 30,000 feet high, and 100,000 voltage, all these impediments could be overcome, and no doubt in time they will. The speaker then referred to the discoveries of the past, commencing with steam ; later, those of the 19th century—bicycle, antiseptics, anesthe- tics, automobile, telephone, incandes- cent and arc lights, motors, dynemo, spectrum analysis, wireless telegraphy and X rays. These were valuable in themselves, but the greater value lay in the possibilities to which they led. For instance, X rays may yet, prove an inestimable boon, as the cure for what are now known as incurable diseases. Mr. Taylor then outlined the bene- fts and possibilities ; among them the following':- 1—No loss of time ; a cable message may take a day to repeat, etc. ; wire- less telegraphy instantaneous. 2—Small cost; ordinary telegraph line costs $100 a mile ; a cable line, $1,000 a mile ; wireless, only a few dollars, 3—Marconi claims that with a balloon seven miles above Niagara, and an- other seven miles above Paris, power and light sufficient for the world could he transmitted from the Falls of Niagara. 4—It would be a harbinger of peace; as there could be no secrecy as to the position of an array or fleet.

Mason conducted service at Jamestown on Sunday evening last, Wingham Baptist Church is con sidering the question of selecting a pastor. Rev. Mr. McInnes will present the claims of Queen's University Endow- ment fund, in Wingham Presbyteri- an church, next Sunday evening. The 'Bishop of Huron will visit Wingham this month. lie is expect- ed for Sunday evening, April 28th, in St. Paul's church, when the rite of confirmation will be administered. The Rev. W. G. Howson, pastor of the Methodist church, may be expect- ed to speak next Sunday upon the fol- lowing subjects :—At 11 a.m., 'People who walk lame"; at 7 p.m., "A hit of Sarcasm." The ushers will be pleased to show strangers to seats. The congregations of Auburn and Smith's Hill had a joint meeting on Thursday to arrange for the filling of the vacancy in the pastorate when Mr. Small takes charge of Blyth. The name of Rev. J. A. Hamilton, formerly of Londesboro', and at pre- sent stationed in Essex, was highly spoken of. The feeling expressed by the meeting was in favor of giving Mr. Hamilton a call at once. Rev. D. N. McCamus of was in ast. f lwas the speaker for the day. In the morning his remarks were addressed our chiefly to the pupils of the school, t ,t who with the adult Bible class oc- cupied the centre seats. The passage ace, chosen was "Keep thy foot when so o thou goest into the house of God"— LiEec. 5:1. In the afternoon, another s it interesting service was held in the ent auditorium. In the evening Mr. Mc- Camus preached a very practical ser- eia mon from Luke 1: 00— "What manner est- of child shall this be," showing that the character of the individual de - ted pended largely upon the influences of brought to bear upon hire during his in- earlier years. Terrible Sufferings. How thankful Canadians should be that the horrors of famine do not visit their fair land ! The suffering and death roll in Chinese provinces in- crease daily, and the worst is not yet passed. Whole families have been found dead in their houses, and corpses are seen lying by the roadside. Probably 5,000 persons are dying daily from starvation. Newly -made graves have been rifled of the bodies, and parents are exchanging their children to be eaten. A dollar, the relief com- mittee reports, will save one life until the harvest, June 25, and $10,000,000 is needed. The whole amount cannot be raised in China. The situation is desperate, and Americans are urged to give $3,000,000 in the next three weeks, not for Christian but for humanitarian work. Winter Lingers. On Sunday last, a blizzard was re- ported covering the western States. Green Bay, "Wisconsin, had ten inches ofso snow, and n crops are said to be seriously damaged. In the vicinity of Wingham, cold weather prevails and Iittle.or no progress can be reported in spring work. Wingham Business College.

The adult Bible class of Wingham Methodist- Church met as a social gathering in the lecture -room of the church on Thursday evening. A solo by Mr. Rave, and an instrumental duet by Mrs. Hontuth and Miss Spar - ling were followed by short im- promptu speeches by a number of the members of the class. Refreshments were then served, thus closing an evening, 'which all agreed had been pleasantly spent. Listowel Carnegie Library. Listowel Public Library, donated by Mr. Carnegie, has been opened.

Sermon On Decision. On Sunday evening, Rev, T. S. Boyle completed a series of addresses to young men, choosing as his text : 1 Kings, 18:21 ---"How Iong halt ye between two opinions ?" Re said that alike in the history of nations and in personal lives there were great crises, when destiny hung upon the choice. In the world of politics, business and other secular affairs, the successful men were those who unite resolution with good judgment. Vacillation and delay spell failure. In spiritual things the need of decision was still more urgent, for greater issues hung upon it. It was a choice between God or no God ; between Christ and infidelity. The speaker said he had already used the argument and logic of Christiani- ty to bear on this mighty choice. Now it must be direct appeal. It was a choice again between righteousness and unrighteousness, truth and false- hood, vice and virtue. Why did men hesitate ? Because sometimes they thought Christianity too feminine? This was one of its glories, in that it showed men's best strength to be in chivalry and purity. Sometimes Christ was misunderstood. The real Christ was all attractive, true and brotherly, and democratic. More often men wavered through lack of will and Iack of self-control, through fear of ridicule ; ridicule from those whose opinion was worth less than nothing. Christianity truly inter- preted, was the manliest thing. The best and greatest men in history were avowedly Christian men ; leaders, statesmen and warriors though they were, Men did not decide because they did not foresee the result, the folly and degradation to which their weakness might bring them. In con- clusion, they were urged to decide courageously; not to renounce life and its claims, but to consecrate it wholly to what was honorable and true; to rise above the world's opinion or its mocking, and to take their stand for God and Christ and right. May Change Date. It has been proposed in the Ontario Legislature to change the date of holding the municipal elections in On- tario. It is thought that it would be an improvement Pioveme to have the elections held on the first Monday of December. Most of the elections are now held on the first Monday in January, but it is conceded that the holiday season in- terferes too much with the elections and the incidental campaigning. The matter will be placed before the muni- cipal Councils of the province, who will be asked to vote for their prefer- ence for the first or second Monday in December, with nominations ons ott the Monday preceding either day. TmtvNxs AND VALrens.—Strong and durable, with first quality locks, Full stock to select from, --W. J. Greer. Printed Splendidly. McGee & Campbell, Clothiers, have received the following let- ter from one of their wholesale firms, referring to the Advance : UNTLEMIIIN "We note that the Advance is printing the cuts we sent you splendidly. Your advt. of April 4th was one of the best printed advta, that came to our atten- tion that week, and we get them from all over Canada, We think it very attractive, and we know that this is the kind of advertising that brings results." Respectfully Yours, The Lowndes Co., Limited Toronto, April li, 1907, It ONT„ THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1907, 00 The Track, As the Teeswater way freight south- bound wee approaching Bolton Junc- tion on Monday afternoon, about 4.80, in charge of Conductor John Carroll, four cars heavily laden with merchan- dise left the tracks, tearing up the roadbed and ties and scattering the contents over the road. The auxiliary from the Junction was despatched to clear the track. A broken car wheel was the cause, Lacrosse Meeting. Those interested in Canada's Nation- al game are invited to meet in the Council room, on Monday evening next, at 8 o'clock. Wingham had a good team last year, and through they failed to win the championship, they played well. Unfortunately, they were not well supported, and many of the players had to go down deep into their own pockets. They expect to organize on Monday evening, and hope the citizens will patronize their games. S. Gracey has a full, up-to-date stock of Bedroom suites, Sideboards, Buffets and Couches. Special bar- gains for cash, Cheaper School Books. The Ontario Legislature may pro- rogue towards the end of this week, or early next week. It is likely an im- portant announcement will be made before the session is .over as to cheaper text books in public schools. Nothing has been said as yet, since the report of the text book commis- sion, but it is understood the Govern- ment has been quietly working out a scheme by which the present prices will be materially reduced. This would be very acceptable, especially, as in these days, the number of books required by an ordinary family is by no means small. It is also intimated that the Legislature may vote a gratuity to the widow of the late Speaker, Hon. J. W. St. John. Preparing To Build. John Wilson, V. S., is preparing to build his block on Main street. The frame building, lately occupied by Mr. Hewitt', was moved from the place where it had been for so many years, and by Monday night had been moved as far as the corner of Patrick street. An amusing incident occurred just about six p.m, on Monday. Two of our respected citizens were induced to go up on the roof to hold up the tele- phone and electric light wires, while the building was moved under them. They waited patiently for the building to move, but after a while discovered that the men had unhitched the horse and gone home to supper, having care- fully removed -the ladder. A friend passing replaced the ladder, and those on the roof lost no time in descending. As we close our forms, the building referred to has been moved safely as far as Losr.—In Wingham, on March 30, a fancy brooch. Finder please leave at Advance office, and receive a re- ward, as the brooch was valued as a gift. Gone Forever. Ten years ago a. farmer put his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neighbors. The last time he got it back was four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness tohimself i nu sel f and his neighbors. Patron nine your local merchant who helps you to pay your taxes, 'supports your schools and churches, and lends a helping hand'in times of sickness and trouble. Married In The West. The Medicine Hat News gives the following :—"A quiet wedding was solemnized by the Rev, Mr. Bryant early Monday x londay morning, April Sth, when Mr, Phil. Chevalier, of Maple Creek, Sask., was married to Miss Zara O. Wade, daughter of lllr and Mrs. Geo. Wade, of Wingham, Ont., at the residence of Mr, Robt. Collier (brother-in-law of the bride) Montreal Street. There were no attendants, Clans t and the bride wore a dress of cream silk colienne over tanraline silk, trim- ined with cream satin and embroider- ed chiffon. At the close of the cere- mony, a dainty breakfast was served, after which the bride retired to don her travelling costume -ea smart tailor-made navy blue ladies' cloth, with waist of point d'esprit net over taffeta, and bat to match.

Hollister and John Netlrery, The greatest harmony and interest was evident, and the prospects of the church are very bright. Palmistry And Phrenology. The editor of this paper, when a young man, devoted some time to the study of phrenology, and hence has always been a believer in that science, knowing that traits of character can be accurately determined by the de- velopment or non -development of the organs of the brains. But we must confess we were rather sceptical as to palmistry, until we were invited to visit Prof. O'Brien's rooms, and allow- ed to examine his charts, and listen to his scientific explanations, He made it clear that the thought forces conveyed through the nerves to the hands, do delineate character, and he quotes passages of scripture by the dozen in support of his favorite sci- ence, Prof. O'Brien does not appear to us as a mere peregrinating fortune- teller, for he does not profess to tell fortunes. He does claim, however, to be able, from head and hand, to de- lineate character perfectly, to give suggestions how best to succeed and what is best to avoid. He appears to be able to make good his claims in this respect. His hints as to health are often timely, and his suggestions as to the future, when acted upon, have resulted as he has predicted. Of this he has ample proof. Already, he has had a large number of callers, Dr. Nelson Tait of 498 Spadina Ave., Toronto, will be at the Queen's Hotel, Wingham, on Friday, April 20th, from 8.30 a.m. till 3 p.m., for consulta- tion in diseases of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.
