CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Largely Attended Meeting OF the
Board of Directors.


The meeting of the board of directors OF
the chamber of commerce was well attended
yesterday morning, though nothing OF any
special interest transpired.
MORE ELECTION PRECINCTS NEEDED.
The sub-committ of the executive COM
mittee made a report which will be found
below in favor of increasing the election
precincts in st. Paul, which was adopted
and the secretary was directed to send the
same to the city council:
To the Board of Directors of the Chamber Of
Commerce:
The special committee, to whom was re-
ferred the matter of election precincts in the
city of St Paul have had the same under
consideration and find that the whole num-
Der of election precincts is seventeen only,
and the voting places in each are as indicated
in the list hereto attached, and that the legal
vote of the city cannot be polled without great
loss of time to the industrial classes, and
our judgment cannot be polled at all
the time that the polls can lawfully be
kept OPEN that the increased expense Of
largely increasing the number of precincts
is insignificant when compared with the loss
of time and wages by the laboring classes re-
sulting from the long distance that many of
them must travel to reach the voting places,
and the delay then made necessary by the
crowded condition of the polls.
The fact, too. should be kept constantly in
mind that in a government like ours the
right of every citizen to cast his vote with
the least annoyance and delay is OF inesti-
mabe value and should be treated as a mat
ter of primary importance by all municipal
governments.
1t is impossible to cast the 20, 200 votes Of
the city in seventeen precincts.
We therefore recommend that the number
Of precincts be increased to at least thirty
two, and the voting places in the new pre-
cincts be so located as to be most convenient
to artizans, mechanics and laborers of all
classes, and that of the additional precinc cts,
four be located in the Fifth ward, with one
as far east on Seventh street as
the point where said street abuts upon the
line Of the Canada road that four be located
in the Fourth ward, with the voting place Of
one as far west on Seventh street as Stahl-
mans brewery, and one north of the Mani
tCba railroad near the railroad shops; that
two additional precincts be formed in the
First ward one additional in the Second, two
additional in the third, and two additional in
the Sixth, in such manner as most to accom-
modate the voters in those wards.
Respectfully submitted,

The Church Punkah.

A popularity of the churches in India
Is the punkah, which is a framework of
wood covered with cloth and with a
deep white frill. Rows of these hang
from end to end of the church, sus.
pended from the ceiling, and swung by
ropes, which pass through holes in the
wall, and are pulled by natives lin pri-
vate houses there are relays of punkah
coolies, who relieve guard night and
day.) Why some simple machine has
never been devised to do this tedious
work is matter for wonder, but some one
suggests that no machine would do it
for I'd. day, which is the wages of
these men-certainly none would be so
noiseless. And the gentle Hindoo has
no objection to work that merely in.
wolves sitting still and pulling q rope.
The effect of these rows of great white
frilled fans chasing one another irregu-
larly up and down the church is posi-
lively bewildering. Sometimes they
seem TO overtake those in front OF them,
then they are just left behind. After a
while, as you watch them, the effect be.
comes soporifc. To the parson it must
be sxceedinly irksome to preach to an
invisible congregation, now revealed for
a second, now again hidden in white
moving clouds of cotton.
