DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 9.-The audi
forum of the immense new Central
high school building was today scene
of beauty, the decorations being in the
honor of the forty-siXth annual meet
ing of the American association for the
advancement of science. The attend
ance of members was about 200 at the
opening, and the galleries were filled
with citizens of Detroit. About twenty
members Of the British association oc-
cupied seats Oh the PLATFORM.
Secretary Frederick w. Putnam call
ed the meeting to order, and announce
ed the death Of the associations form
er president, Edward F. Cope. In the
absence of the president, Wolcott
Gibbs, of Newport, r. l., the chair was
taken by Prof. Theodore Gill, of Wash
ington, who in turn handed over the
gavel to Prof. w. J. MCGEE, of Wash
ington, senior vice president of the as
ISOLATION.
Mayor Maybury delivered an address
of welcome. He hoped the scientists
would go away, having found Detroit
a city of science. Said he: Detroit
greets you as those VINO come to set
the world right; the struggle between
the religious and scientific world has
largely come to be thing of the past.
The old fear that somehow the discov-
cries of science would upset the teach
ings of religion has passed away. What
fear should religion have from the dis
closures of the Creators handiwork?"
Prof. MCGEE, in expressing his ap-
probation of the hospitality extended,
said the object of the association was
to kindle interest in scientific matters
and cultivate a closer relationship be-
tween scientists and the general public.
He traced the parallel advance of
science and the country's progress, and
gave it as his opinion that one of the
most potent institutions in giving
America her pre-erninert standing
among nations has been her scientific
achievements.
After the adjournment Of the general
session, the nine sections were organ
lied, and each sectien was addressed
by it's chairman. "ImproHident Civili-
zation' was the subject Of an address
by Prof. Richard 7. Colburn, chairman
of the section of social and economic

the limits of safety for representative
or currency money ale certain to be
fully worked over by the powerful
vested interests concerned in reports of
commissions and printed volumes. His
explanation was that these questions
are but parts of a far greater question
of controversy. Prof. Colburn spoke of
the waste of warfare and armament,
the decadence of races, pernicious COM

Of parasitism, the role of superstitions

morning by Watchman Brown at the Frank
lin avenue bridge for riding his bicycle on
the sidewalk. The doctor was called upon
