To Slngerii.
For the low notes of the female voice
from middle C upward to F the mouth
should only be opened the width of a
finger: from F to C gradually o ncd to
the width of two fingers: from . to high
F sharp gradually wider to the width of
three fingers. So. it seems. the uniform
rule of opening the mouth to the width
of two fingers is incorrect. The high
notes of the male voice are best formed
with the teeth separated only the width
of a finger. and the mouth should be
opened wider the lower the tone to be
produced. The lips, if thick, deaden the
tone. They should, therefore. be drawn
rather ti htly against the teeth. It was
for this t at the direction of most sing~
ing teachers has been: assume a pleased
expression of the countenance. because
thus the. corners of the mouth are drawn
back and the li tightened. But if any
have thin lips t ey should not do so.
The tongue is t e greatest hindrance
to correct singing. That dull. milled
tone. having no fullness and no‘ reson-
ance, which we frequently bear. is be
cause the root of the tongue rises and
makes the a rture through which the
sound must ow too small. If it is na-
sal it is because the tongue directs the
stream of vocalized sir too far back.
But if the ti of the tongue lie lightly
against the rout lower teeth. if the root
of it be very much depressed, if
a kind of groove the whole len
tongue. as when one sings t a vowel
sound a in man. then the tone which re-
sults will be the best possible. It is val.
unble to every one to watch the o In.
tions of the vocal organs bofom n g
as they can thus determine the comet-
ness of their mode of singing.
Every one must have noticed the dou-
ble chin of great singers, which is reall
only a perversion of nature, by wbic
the tongue takes as little of the space of
the mouth as possible. .
It is in the lower tones of the male
voice that the greatest chan can be ob
footed. In fact, the tones low I", itth
lino bass staff, can only be
duced when the larynx
prominence at the throat called dam’s
Apple). is drawn below where it is in
quiet bros . Then the tones hove
much more fu ness and breadth.
That one may sing well only two
things are necessary: a clear uncla-
tion and an easy, unsflec mode of
singing. Correct pronunciation is food'-
thcmouth. ties on tho syllables

The natural growth clsmming and
by star grounds near our harbor have pro~
duced an abundant harvest this year.
and the public have profited thereby.
nonwhites of the Darienl Ring have
made desperate efforts to drive the pub-
lic from three grounds by arresting
them on charges of stealing oysters.
Many arbitrary and malicious arrests
ave been made by a woman whom th
Ring are making a cat‘s w of. but no
the tables are turned an the the pie
have coined the arrest of the $2101:
Oyster Commissioners Hicks. Coles and
Kinefcltcr. for commissioning natural
growth oyster and clamming grounds.
They are each charged with six offences.
The line for each offence is fifty :dollars.
which will amount to six hundred dol-
lars for the two. Their property has
been attached and they have been t
under bonds. It is expected that 0 er
arrests will soon be made by this much
injured community.
