It will include the overture from Tambaner with its title music, also the Fourth Symphony from Technikowski, a work of unparalleled beauty containing for its third movement the celebrated scherzo in which the whole movement is played with plucked strings by the string section of the orchestra at a great feast of virtuosity.
The solist for the evening is the distinguisher of American baritone, Bernard Ferguson, who will sing the stirring totorong song from "Carmen," as well as the second aria from "Masseret." Mr. Ferguson has sung for me in festivals in Illinois, and I know the sterling worth of his voice and can promise music lovers a great treat."

Special bleachers are being arranged and the children are being given lectures on the numbers to be played under the supervision of Barnhart, supervisor of music in the public schools and instructor of public music in the School of Fine Arts.

Scientists to Study Ethnological Data on Island in Bering Sea
Smithsonian Men to Observe Civilization and Life of Nunivak Tribes
(Holtzman Regulus)
Though Nunavik is about 70 miles long by nearly 50 wide, it is so surrounded by shoals that most ships give it a wide berth. In consequence the Esquimau who are known to have lived there may comparatively little contact with white man's civilization. They are divergent from the mainland tribes but retain many more of the ancient customs of the original Esquimau than the latter. For this reason they are of especial interest to science because careful study of their culture may shed considerable light on their needs may shelter considerable light on the manners and habits of the original inhabitants of the Far North.
Seattle, April 26—An island in the Boring Sea, never before visited by any scientist, yet large enough to make a sizable spot on the map, is the object of the research of the Smithian Institution, sailing from here in the near future.

The scientists will make measurements of the native physique, records of their language, and observations of tribal customs and art, and hope to bring back skeletal remains of their remote ancestors from old villages to study in the laboratory and add to the museum collection. The acquisition is under the joint auspices of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Smithsonian Institution.

by Porter
Trial of Two Italian Radicals Scheduled for Discussion
