There is great deal of serious illness
in town this spring more than there has
been for a number of seasons. The
doctors are all kept SO busy, that they
have scarcely time to get the rest that is
absolutely necessary to keep on their
rounds. Measles still continue to
spread. though it seems as if there
could be few victims left for the disease
to attack after its long run. Lung
troubles and low fevers are prevalent
and if the winter lasts much longer,
there is no telling what other ills may
attack us. But it is long lane that
has no turning and warm and settled
weather is bound to come soon and then
we'll all get well.

DER FLUGA-The article on the in
side which bears this unique heading
went to press as ''Der Flugapparat. "
but by some unfortunate circumstance
In putting the forms into press, some
of the type got loosened and fell out
without anyone being the wiser, until
the printed article stared at US under
this singular title. 1t might properly
be suggested that in this case literally,
the "devil" was in it. But he had
nothing to do with it, nor is any one to
blame for the accident which has ac-
Cured in our well regulated family.
At first thought we would pass 1t off as
Volapuk. and ascribe it to the readers
ignorance of this universal language,
if he could not understand this new
tangled word But then we concluded
that some of our German reading friends
would see just enough of the original
germ In it to make them suspicious.
and so we decided to town up and
ask our readers to supply the missing
link mentally, and for Fluga, read
Flugapparat.

A Problem that Puzzled the Professors.

EDITOR HERALD:-Lately 1 saw,
copied from Philadelphia paper, the
following problem, which, it is said,
none of the professors in the university
of Pennsylvania could solve, but which
was solved by Philadelphia butcher,
who was noted as mathematical phen-
emon. He kept his solution a secret
but his result was verified by actual
experiment. The problem is: What
is the longest piece of carpet, three feet
wide, that can be laid in a room 40x1S
feet carpetto be laid in one piece forming
an exact MATHEMATICAL parallelogram.
The result given is 42.6 feet, but, as |
have said the solution was not given.
Now, do not believe it requires a
mathematical phenomon to solve it.
/ believe there are teachers and High
school students in Grant County who
can do it, and it may be a good exer-
else for them while the evenings are
still long and the billiards linger in the
land. l send with this a solution of
my own, which you may publish after
others have tried their hand at it.
