mastered by science, to make them part OF
our daiiy life, to render them common
property of all. 1t is now no longer ques-
ton of accommodating scientific truths and
discoveries; we need, most OF all, the
spread Of the same throughout the
mass of mankind. We have to
make science no longer a luxury, but
the foundation of every mans life. This

ganized yesterday. Great enthusiasm
reigned and the feelings of the audience
gave their expression in strong applause.
The hall was full of people, of which about
one-third was American.
Mr.. Haese, of st. Paul. and Mr.. Gellerup.
Dane of Minneapolis addressed the meet
ing. speaking very forcibly i'll favor of the
organization of an American branch. Mr..

dog of American monopoly we must do it
with one stroke; not as the Knights of
labor cut. one bit at time, but the whole
at once. The following gentlemen were
elected as officers in the new section: A.
Gardner, organizer; Evert Nymanover,
secretary; &. A. Gunderson, treasurer;
