Weather Notes.
The Lake region .area of high pressure
is moving off to sea over the north At-
lantic coast, and a sharp fall in tem-
perature has occurred in south Atlantic
states. The western barometric depres-
sion now overlies the eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains and it has been attend-
ed by general precipitation and thunder-
storms in northern Texas and' northward
to North Dakota. A second depression
over the north Pacific coast is causing
rain in that region. Local showers have
occurred over the middle and eastern cot-
ton belt. Heavy rainfalls reported are:
Dallas, 1.42; Fort Worth, 1.50; Kopperl,
2.30, and Oklahoma City, 1.40 inches. (There
has b^en but little change in temperature
in Texas and at time of report it ranged
from 56 degrees at Amarillo to 76 degrees
at Corpus Christi. The weather in this
vicinity will be unsettled, probably with
showers tonight or Saturday and fresh

tice by not taking advantage of the opportunity in this Easter Sale

should dictate that you come here now when it is possible to save from
$75 to $275.
The new instruments in this Easter Sale are marked at wonderfully
low prices. As to the used pianos, a brief examination of them ■will
prove to you that they are thoroughly reliable instruments at the pres-
ent low prices we are asking. Many of these are like new. All have

At the Majestic.
“The Night. Riders,” a story of the
tobacco war of Kentucky, will be the
attraction again today. This film
made quite a hit yesterday, it being
a subject with which the public is

wide publicity given it in the daily
press.
A feature of this film is the horse-
manship of the daughter of the to-
bacco farmer in riding down and cap-
turing the leader of the band of ma-
rauders. New pictures at the Majestic

Originated in the Spinning of a Coin
by Sir John Herschel.
Sir John Herschel after dinner in
1826 asked his friend. Charles Bab-
bage, how he would show both sides of
a shilling at once. Babbage replied by
taking a shilling from his pocket and
holding it to a mirror. This did not
satisfy Sir John, wrho set the shilling
spinning upon the dinner table, at the
same time pointing out that if the eye
is Blaced on a level with the rotating
coin both sides can be seen at once.
I Babbage was so struck by the experi-
ment that the next day he described
it to a friend, Dr. Fitson, who imme-
diately made a working model. On one
side of a disk was drawn a bird, on
the other side an empty birdcage.
When the card was revolved on a silk
thread the bird appeared to be in the
cage. This model showed the persist-
ence of vision upon which all moving
pictures depend for their effect. The
eye retains the image of the object
seen for a fraction of a second after
the object has been removed. This
model was called the thaumotrope.
Next came the zoetrope, or wheel of
life. A cylinder was perforated with
a series of slots, and within the cylin-
der was placed a band of drawirigs of
dancing men. On the apparatus being
slowly rotated the figures seen through
the slots appeared to be in motion.
The first systematic photographs taken
at regular intervals of men and ani-
mals were made by Muybridge in 1877.
At the Lyric.
The Lyric presents today and to-
morrow “Dora, a Rustic Idyl,” adapted
from Alfred Tennyson’s poem.
Farmer Allen desires that his
marry his niece. Dora, but the son is
in love with Mary, a servant girl, and
as Dora is aware of this she gives in
to the servant girl,
been secretly married the farmer ban-
ishes his son from his home and after
a period of 10 years, during which the
couple suffer much privation, the son
dies and the broken-hearted farmer
takes Mary and her son, now 10 years
old, back into the family.
/
This is a pretty little story, an<^
something which can be easily under-
stood and appreciated by all who
see it.
A short comedy subject, “The Danc-
ing Legs,” is also shown, and is some-
thing calculated to mystify the wise
ones and drive away the blues for the
“dead” ones.
