THE NORMAL COLLEGE.

that some OF the statements viii be

quote from Free thought, Dec. -, 'SS,
as follows:
1t IS no wonder that the pulse
beats high with such sp1endors of
material prosperity before the eye.
But the lookout Is not all for bust
ness. The educational facilities are of
a high order; and the advanced cui-
ture Of Seculalism is taking the lead.
The atmosphere of F'recthOWght is
among these golden pictures. The
Port Townsend North Western Col
lege has been Incorporated, and its
founders have put it upon an entire
~ non-theolosical basis. 1t is for
science and humanity. The site has
been salected-a beautiful one en-
Mountain View. commanding scenery
unsurpassed for magniticence, a hun
dred miles in every direction. Ma
ture will have Ler royalty here. In
the articles of incorporation Is the
following: No book. tract, paper
catechism. or other publication of a
partisan OF denomination character
shall be used or distributed in the
school, nor shall any partisan or sec
tartan doctrine be taught therein, ii
being the intention of the incorpora
tors that only Secular subjects shall
be relegated to the homes and

this is q Secular college. The incor

Total Eclipse of the Sun,

On Tuesday next New Years day
will occur one of those sublime spec
tacles which are seldom Witnessed
a total eclipse of the sun. Victoria
and Port Townsend will be favored
localities, being in the line of total
ity, consequently our citizens will be
enabled to have Il perfect view, if the
weather Is clear, of this rare and pc
culiar natural phenomenon.
The path of the total eclipse, as it
is technically called, will begin near
the center of the group of Alentian
Islands, which stretch across to
Kamschatka, and, sweeping south
ward and eastward over the North
ern Pacific Ocean, will reach the con
tinent somewhere near the southern
point of Vancouver Island at the en-
trance of Fuca Strait. Continuing
on its broad curve, it will end far up
in Canada, about half way between
Port Arthur at the western extI EN-,
ity of Lake Superior and Hudson:
Bay, being visible as totaIity DUR
ing the whole length of its course.
A total eclipse of the sun is mag
nifcent and awe inspiring, being at
all times wonderful; and if the at
mosphere is clear, our citizens can
see the verifcaiion of those words:
sand the sun shall be darkened."
A sight they Will always remember.
Partial eclipses are of comparatively
frequent occurrence. but Il total
eclipse of the sun is seldom seen
twice in persons lifetime, and TO
be seen in its full grandure. the OBJ
server must be within the belt of
totality, SO that the moon, at the
timo it comes between the sun and
the earth, will be exactly in line
between the observer and the sun.
