STATE UNIVERSITY NOTES.

The students are taking great interest in their
work. Yesterday afternoon a large number
were ut the college long after hours working at
the problems of the day. The professors cay
that it is "A good sign when the students stay
after class hours.
number OF the young men are working up a
sentiment for a gymnasium. Such depart
ment is certainly needed. The male students,
with few exceptions take the liyeliest interest
in physical exercises and they deserve encour-
agement.
Professor J. NJ. Taylor says that the faculty of
the State university appreciate very deeply the
present liberal disposition of the board of re-
gents in the matter OF granting funds for neces-
sary appliances for college work
Professor Taylor is now in correspondence
with a number of the Eastern makers of scien-
tifc instruments. The idea is to procure the
necessary apparatus for well appointed stu
dents observatory.
Arrangements have been made whereby the
library of the university will be increased by
the addition of a considerable number of needed
reference books. This will be great help.
The two university literary societies meet this
afternoon. The programmes will be of very
interesting nature.
There will be the usual weekly meeting of the
faculty this afternoon.

fire
Mr.. Smith was absent in Seattle attending
Masonic LODGE. and when Mrs. Smith went to led
she left the light burning on table in the din
lng-room for the convenience OF Mr.. Smith
when lie should return from Seattle. When
Mrs. Smith awoke the dining-room and front sit
ting-room were burning, and the house was full
OF smoke. Mrs. smith jumped out Of the win
dow, aud was considerably bruised, but man
aged to alarm the neighbors, who succeeded, by
forming a bucket brigade. in putting out the
hire. All the furniture in the sitting room was
burned and part of that in the diDng-room.
The walls OF both rooms are badly scOrched, but
strange to say, the room where the lamp ex-
ploded the fire did much less damage than in
the other room. The loss on the furniture is

Mr.. L. Sorensen will start at once to finish the
vessel which he began to build some months
ago on the south side of Salmon bay, opposite

Two years ago The number of children of
school age in tine Ballard district did not exceed
fifty. In the fall OF 1859 the school directors
built near the west end of Broadway a
new schoolhouse, which they thought would
accommodate the pupils for the next i've years.
Last spring the school census showed sos chill
dren OF school age in tho town, and the di-
rectors were compelled 10 build $4,000 school
house, with accommodations Tor so pupils.
Yesterday reporter visited the town schools,
and was shown the different departments BY
Principal J. NJ. Lahne. The children were
dergoiug the monthly written examination, the
results of which will be made known next

The figures in the bids were a surprise to the
