The Journal is informed that the only
feeling among the students of objection
relative to the Bowdoin College en-
trance examinations, reference to which
was recently made, is that though an
applicant bring a certificate that would
admit him tossYale or Harvard he
must nevertheless take the entrance
examination if he would enter Bow
dom. Certificates do not admit except
in the case of a very few fitting schools
in this State where an instructor from
Bowdoin conducts the examination at
the close of the fitting school work
Moreover it is said an erroneous i'm
preston concerning this entrance ex-
animation has got abroad. Many boys
thinking it more severe than it is are
deferred from going to Bowdoin. 1t is
safe to say that while the standard is
high it is no higher than any healthy
youth Of good ability and proper fitting
ought to be willing to take

moose has been an idler and a loiterer

lots of moose. both dead and alive, but
the inhabitant of the region around
Lobster lake was the biggest he ever
saw. This moose has a double name

The fact that transportation COM
panies engaged in transporting goods
to the Klondike region shipped whis-
key instead of food in several in
stances, if not startling is at least
significant. There was a demand for
the food at exorbitant prices for there
was not food enough in that region to
sustain life, properly at least. And
yet the whiskey was shipped instead.
But after all there is nothing so very
novel about the matter; many people
every day sell whiskey to those who,
they know, need food instead. The
Klondike situation differs, however, in
that the consumer would buy, the
food if the dealer proffered it instead
of whiskey. OF course there is little
more profit in the latter and profit is
the corner stone of the rum traffic.
