HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
THE LYCEUM.

The debate in the lyceum last Friday
was the most spirited which has been
held for months. The resolution dis
cussed was: "Resolved, that the intellect
OF woman is inferior to that of man."
President Frank II. Lowell and Myron
Kelley were the principals on the affirm
alive; Miss Alice Latin and Miss Ethel
Jellison, negative.
The extemporaneous disputants were
Charles w. Campbell and Harry f. Rowe
on the side of the sterner sex; Misses
Whiting, Mullan, Friend, Smit and Bon
sey for the side of femininity. Misses
Hattie Bowden and Maude Hamor and
Harry E. Rowe were appointed to decide
which pair Of the original disputants had
the better arguments. They reported for
Miss Latin and Miss Jellison. The school
question was the better.
Besides the debate he exercises OF he
lyceum included music by Misses Lillian
Joy and Grace Lord, destinations by
Misses Ella Jude, Bertha Giles, Mary Joy,
Bernice Latin, Theodore Higgins,
Eugene GrindeI and Willie Jude, and
readings by Miss Nellie J. Mullan and
Henry II. Higgins.

Fret Bad storm.

There was anything but "a hot time
in the old town last night" as the frozen
'waterpiDes and snow, banks in the
streets this morning bore testimony.
The storm which sprung up late Wednes-
day night was eveu worse last night and
although the wind was not so bad this
morning the thermometer took another
tumble and dropped several degrees
below the zero mark.
The storm was felt every where, more
than usual perhaps because it was the
first Of the season and people we're not
entirely prepared for it.
The merchants were rather pleased
than disappointed with the storm TO- it

Foot Hall Team pIsbands.

The foot ball season has closed for this
year and the boys OF the High school
team feel quite proud OF their record, con-
sidering this Is the first year they have
played any team outside the county. In
all they played seven games out OF which
they won four. The three games they
lost were two against the Ishpeming
team and one against the Michigan Col
lege of Mines. In the frat game with
IshpemIng, the iron country boys had it
all their own way. but within a weeks
time the boys had improved so that the
score was only II to o, which is the
smallest score made by the Isbpeming
team in any game this year. The game
with the Michigan llege OF Mines was
also very close, in fact the school team
were ahead at the end of the first half,
and the score for the entire game was II
to 10. The four games In which our
boys came ont victorious were Mar
quette, to IL: Hancock, q to II; Drill
Boys, to Sc; and the Alumni, o to "a.
The outlook for team next year is
not very bright, considering that five OF
the regular team are members OF the SEN
dor class. However Lyon. this years
haliback will be in school and will un-
.doubtedy be captain OF next years team.
Many OF the substitutes on this years
team will be in school next year and will
play on the regular team. There is also
plenty of good material in the classes
which go into the high school next year
from which to choose.
The team this year succeeded in arous.
ing considerable interest in the game and
1t is probable that there may be several
teams organized next season outside 6f
the school.

An Infant sandow Nine Months Old.

An Infant SandOw Nine Months Old.
Here is a nine-months-old Sandow He is
Henry Edward William Ward, the child of
Mr.. and Mrs. II. ID. Ward of Lewiston
Maine. At an early age this miniature
giant began to show signs of remarkable
strength for an infant. When three
months old his weight was twenty pounds
and his parents commenced to notice his
unusual development. Neither Mr.. nor Mrs.
Ward are of large proportions. and the
rapid way in which their young son took
on flesh surprised them.
Mr.. Ward, who was something of an ath-
lete In his younger days, thought he saw
the foundation for remarkably strong
man In his son, and when he was about
three months old adopted a gentle system
of exercise, through which he put Young
Henry every day. He also put his little son
on a oiet that was muscle producing, and in
few weeks was delighted to notice q
great improvement.
Then some light dumbbells were secured
for the boy. and under the careful tuition
Of his father he soon manipulated them
surprisingly well. Young Henry's weight
was so great for youth of his age that
he did not develop much speed as sprint
er, and his main strength, brought about
by dumbbell and Indian club practice, is in
his arms and chest When only nine
months old he was able to lift a dumbbell
weighing twenty-five pounds clear of the
floor.
Mr.. Ward. who has full charge OF the
athletic training Of this youthful Sandow,
says:
MY boy is a wonder, and am willing to
back him against all corners OF his age.

Holland Stfu Growing.
From the Literary Digest.

from the Literary Digest
Holland has determined upon a gigantie
engineering feat-the reclaiming of 1s7
square miles of land now lying under the
Zuyder Zee. Eight hundred years ago all
of Holland contained but 800 square miles
of land, or less than one-third of the area
of the state of Delaware Gradually, by
means of great dikes land has been re-
claimed until the present area is nearly
1900 square miles. This is more than
twenty times the original area. The new
work involves the construction of a dam
twenty-seven miles in length. The line
Will run from point near Heider. which is
north of Amsterdam, 10 the Island of
Wieringen. Then from the east end of the
island, which is ten miles long, connecting
at a point just south of Workum. The dixie
will measure thirty-five feet at the base,
tapering to eight feet at the top.
The first task is the driving of two rows
of piles on either side Of The proposed dixie
forming a passage fifty feet wide. Against
these there will be packed bags Of sand un-
til two parallel entertainments are raised
above the sea level. The water will then
be pumped out of this area and a dry canal
formed from shore to shore. Here on the
bed of the sea the dixie will be built of
solid masonry. Behind the wall will be a
bank of earth, bound with willow twigs i'm
a series of basket work. For the drainage
of this great basin colossal windmills are
to be constructed 289 feet in height with
arms seventy-five feet long. These will
raise the water into the network of canals
which will cover the reclaimed area Nor
is this the end of the task. The bottom of
the sea is sand of little fertility. Top soil
and fertilizers will be brought from every
Dutch colony, and in two or three genera
tions the depression will De brought to the
level Of the canals. Where once the sea
flowed unrestricted there win be green gar
dens and farms, dotted with cottages and
towns, and canals covered with heavily
laden barges.
Holland will have spent s50.O00.OoO in
completing this enterprise, but she will
have added $6u0,VWO0 to her national
wealth. and will have demonstrated afresh
the moral greatness of a people who in the
face of such tremendous natural disad-
vantages, have the patience to compel
earth to yield her treasures
