NOTES If I print in this number a very interesting article entitled, “Moulding and Mailing the Human Voice." It is due to the courtesy of the editor of Public I mpro vzmknts that this is possible. Mr. Auld calls his periodical “A Magazine of Modem Resources" and it certainly lives up to its name. *[ W. C. B. You ask for the words of a certain Recdrd; stating in your letter that the words, as played by your machine, were not clear at all times. I find on very care- ful investigation that the Record in question has never been made by the Edison people. It is a Disk Record. I went to a store in the vicinity and asked to hear this particular Record, taking my pencil with me; but my ears are con- structed no differently from yours, and I had to give it up. The singer who made this Record is well known in the business, but I think for the past year he has affected a kind of coon vibrate which seems to have affected him with locomotor ataxia of the larynx.

After all, the Edison Phonograph is the only talking machine that gives complete satisfaction. ^ I was over in Philadelphia the other day, and as I was walking along opposite the post-office to call upon a friend of mine in the business, I suddenly found the sidewalks blocked by a very good-natured crowd. To my surprise I found they were clustered around the store of my friend.
