The members of the Artillery Battery regret very much that they will not get a chance to use the new cannon. The car riages of the pieces have come but the bar rels are still "nit." A new paper has been started in the Uni versity bearing the euphonious title of "Phyzooks Reporter." It starts out under very favorable circumstances and, although the present conditions of the University does not warrant the establishing of another news paper, yet it is to be hoped that it will be a financial success. The scientific students excursion did not take place May 4. Professor Ward had a premonition that it was going to rain.

Besides the well-prepared papers of Mr. Alexander, Mr. Thomp son, Miss Edwards and Miss Dundas. the naming of the different pictures of noted persons scattered over the room proved very interesting as well as instructive. In this part of the program, Mr. Hendy and Miss Elizabeth Russel took the honors and the roses. Bench work! bench work! bench work! Everyone is taking it.

Cupid lurks around the green foliage and looks down from the branches after ho has sent his shaft. Who can tell which is the better place, whether by the Chemistry building or by the main way.
