to SEQ member making a speech with

The opinion Of the body was not

intolerable- Efforts were made to find
another hall, free from the pests, but in
tho flies grew worse, and the Tapping OF
handkerchiefs was heard all over the
hall as an accompaniment to the voices
of the speakers
In despair at last some ono suggested
that matters DO hurried, so that the
body might adjourn and get away from
the flies. There were few mild pro.
tests, but no one needed them, the i'm
mortal declaration was hurriedly copied,
and, with handkerohiefs in hand fight.

cestors of the Human Race
The descent of the human race from
some particular species of tree is one of
the oldest myths that can be found run
ming through tho folk stories of every
nation. In Virgil we find reference
to tho race Of linen who took their birth
from trunks of trees" and among some
of the early commentators on that
statement we even find speculations as
to the particular species of tree from
which the race sprung. The very earliest
Egyptians as we'll as those who lived
under later dynasties had legend of
tho tree of life," and many of the
leading Investigators, both ancient and
modern, have Expressed tho opinion
that from Egypt came the Biblical story
of the tree of knowledge of good and
evil" which graoed the original garden
made by tho All Wise for our first par
