I WONDER WHY?
To the Editor:—Why should all
tradesmen, including the Bank o£
Alaska, not hare a slot in the door
of their respective places of busi
ness connecting with a box inside
which would permit dropping lo
cal letters, etc., »ud thus save the
expense of sending suqh communica
tions through the mail.
-Vow that stores do not open un
•til & o'clock a., m. such a conven
ience would be used for delivering
orders for goods by a number of the
■ >ffice men and others who have
t-j be at their respective places of
[justness at that time.

THE "HROICA" SYMPHONY.
A Musical Portrait of Napoleon as Bee
thoven Idealized Him.
The most notable example of a may
terwork wltli a political or)sin In
Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony. Gen
eral Bern»dott«> during his residence
In Vienna In 179S a* ambassador from
tb'e French nation suggested 10 Bee
thoven the composition of a symphony
In honor of Xapoieou. Ai that time
Napoleon was tanked upon as the
champion of freedom. thr su ior of
his country, the e;abjdi iicjit of re
publican* Weill?, witii which Beethoven
was in ilii'iou;?) »>lupalhy, and he
willingly uci.epied lue propositi.
Before tlu- s> mphony wan published
Napoleon became emperor, and when
the news reached Vienna Beethoven
was violently aiifered. "After all.
then, he is uothiir; ^luit an ordinary
mortal! lie will tr.imp'e all the rights
of men tinder foot to Indulge bis ambi
tlon and become a Kreater-tyrunt than
auy oue!"
With these words I 3 petal the inh
ale. tore the title piijte In Imlf and
threw it 0:1 rh,- xroitiid. lie never
again ieferred to tile cjiiwition be
tween his work and Napoleon until
news of t'.io latl^rV dentil reai he:l him.
Then he said. "1 b.ive alrev.t'y com
posed the proper inus'c for that catis
trophe." meaning, of course, the fu
neral march. But the who.e symphony,
with Its essentially revolutionary char
acter, is u musical portrait of Napo
leon as Beethoven idealized him.
Why 1881 Wai Chosen.
In 1S81 a so called prophecy of Moth
er Shipton's was In every one's mouth:
The world then to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
A traveling tailor denied inspiration
to this prognostic, nor. as now appears,
was it remarkable for accuracy. But
he went further. He demonstrated iti
the dust of the road why that exact
date was chosen. Not only was it ca
balistic, a multiple of nine, etc.. but
it was the only date available to Moth
er Shipton which in Arabic numerals
was the same backward, forward aud
upside down. Eleven hundred and
eleven was past; aud not till ]SSI would
the coincidence recur. The next Moth
el Shipton will select POOr, which is
"not tomorrow or next da*. - I.ondon
