Larkin street. There were between thirty
and forty present, Daniel Sewell being in
the chair.
Jacob Fowzer acted as secretary pro TEN.
There was considerable talk after the
meeting was opened as to what the objects
Of the proposed organization were.
At the previous meeting committee ON
constitution and bylaws was appointed,
but IL reported that it would like to hear
the views OF those present. so as to guide
them in preparing its report.
One member stated that the objects were,
in tho first place, to elevate photography
and the arts and correct the many abuses
that we're now lowering their calling He
referred to canyasseTs. who solicited copies
to be enlarged at price that was out OF all
proportion TO the work and where the work
itself was OF the poorest. There were hon.
est canvassers, but there were also scoun-
drels and blackmailers among them.
There were many other evils which by
organization they could crush out.
After some general discussion a commit
tee was appointed to prepare preamble
showing the objects OF the organization,
which would be incorporated in the const-
tuition and bylaws.
A recess was taken and on resuming bust
ness Secretary FowZer read the report of
the committee on bylaws and constitution,
which was discussed clause by clause and
adopted with some slight amendments.
The objects were briefly as explained by
the member previously referred to. and the
organization is to be known as the United
Order of Photographers and Artists.
The election of officers will take place at
future meeting.
Ii is expected that large number of
photographers throughout the State will
join the organization.

A Meteorological balloon.

ii. Renard of France, thinks he
has obtained a cloth and yarnish at
once sufficiently light and imperyious
to hydrogen to make a balloon which
will put below itself eleven -twelfts
of the earth's atmospheric, ascending
to "a height Of twelve miles His
proposition is to equip such a balloon
with a self-registering barometer,
thermometer and then set 1t free.
The instruments are to be packed in
a sort OF interior skeleton Of ligh0
willow work. The weight Of the
whole thing is o6ly twenty pounds,
and nearly half this is allotted to the
meteorological apparatus. The eS
timated cost Of each ascent is $40.
