a more effective means of leaching as
tronomy in the university and live hun
dred dollars were voted to erect a tem
porary observatory. Five hundred more

the weather depart nont's furnishing the
university with a printing press. With
this amount the present building has been
erected. The observatory has three
rooms, ono for tho telescope, one for the
transit and ono which will be Prof.

the university will bo used; but Prof.
Swe.oy is having a first class transit in
strument made in Germany which he
will put in as soon as possible. The ob
servatory will also be fitted with a irood
time piece, probably a chronometer.
Prof. Swezoy has two classes in Astron

will be used mainly by those classes.

Prof. William James, of Harvard, says
that in Norway the life of tho women has
been entirely revolutionized by tho use of
tho ski, or snowshoe, as a sport for both
soxos. Asa result they are "not only say

pallor and delicacy of constitution, but

At this period of tho program a recess
was taken to eject tho -Sophomores who
had innocently strayed in to assist the
meeting. Owing to a slight misunder

the hall belonged, tho recess was pro
longed and an exhibition of valor and
prowess was given for a half hour which
would have done credit to our 'Varsity
eleven. Much now material was do vol,
oped in this encounter, which will
strengthen our prospects in foot-ball this
foil if the men will use the same energy
in tho athletic park. At the suggestion
of R. P. Ruggles tin battle for suprem

sides claiming tho victory, Vidotto Re
