The lecture last night by Prof Otis S.
johnson of the Walingford graded school
was one of the best ever delivered in this
place. A full house listened with breath
less Stiffness for over an hour, while the
Professor gave us Headquarters of the
Light Brigade This was the caption to a
scientific lecture upon Light, the head
quarters of which he styled the Sun. The
lecture opened with beautiful and vivid
description of a sunrise from Mount Wash
ington as witnessed by him year ago last
I August, after which he proceeded with
general unfolding Of the great and over
powering wonders of astronomy.
The immense distances and incompre
hensibc numbers that denote the size and
positions of the various planetary bodies
were beautifully shown and illustrated by
familiar comparisons.
While the latest discoveries and most
plausible theories regarding the sun and its
hight was given in language that everyone
could understand and appreciate.
He managed to interest his hearers deep
~, whether he was converslng of the We
lociiy of light that would merely encrcle
the globe eight times in a single second, or
OF star that the mariner was at that time
watching, whose light had been traversing
forty years to reach the earth.
In eloquent language he told of the mag
netic changes that originated upon the sun,
. and thrilled throughout the universe. AL
together the lecture was well calculated to
interest," TO instruct and to awaken thought.
and we cordially recommend our professor
