1t Is designed as a museum exhibit and
lecture-room, but great many changes in
its internal structure will doubtless have TO
be made before the room can be used for
public speaking.
AS it is at present no lecturer would ever
be forced TO hesitate for the proper word
noticed by his auditors, for the words he
last uttered would keep on repeating them
selves until the least gifted speaker had
recovered his flow Of language.
Or should some fair pupil, listening to the
words Of wisdom from the lecturer, move
her rosy lips with more than wonted energy
in shifting her chewing-gum, the resultant
tumble OF sound would startle everybody
and heighten the ruddy hue of her own rosy
cheeks.
Should she cough or giggIe or move her
combination of noises would be astonishing,
not to say highly disagreea6le to the learned
lecturer.
Mr. Stanford must have that room fur
nished In some way before the lectures
begin.
At present the big skylfght in the roof
furnishes abundant light, aud in other ways
the room is admirably adapted for museum
and lecture hall, but its echoes must be dis
PEELED before it can be brought into prac-
tical use.
There are two or three other rooms in the
building which have peculiar acoustic
properties. but in the clearness OF sound
and lis remarkable ech0ing powers this large
room is unique.
Probably no other room In the country is
lis equal in these respects, and a trip to
Palo Alto is amply repaid by q visit alone
to this remarkable room

Klein, the well-kBown Notary Public "The
people have become disgusted with fragrant
abuse in public Office There is room for
reform in that part of the CITY government
not already controlled by Non-Partisans.
During the past ballot-boxes have been
stuffed and enough votes purchased to Offset

Rea monopOlized and manipulated affairs
IN this city until the citizens arose in their
wrath to extermnate the old gang of trick
sters."
Two score of Democrats met last night
and gave suggestions to the City Central
Committee. which is controlled by Jim Rea
and the ring. The committee was author
lied to organize clubs and elect 100 dele
gates to the city convention, which is to be
held on March 10. AS an evidence of their
fear of the reformers nearly every speaker
said mean. petty things about the citizens
movement This malice merely shows that
the Democrats fear defeat only at the hands
Of the determined N0n-Partisans.
