An exchange prints the following
curious item: Tie II string about
yard long to common door key.
Then take the string in the right
hand and hold it so that the KEY
will clear the floor four or five
inches. fyou can hold the key
steady enough it will begin toswing
back and forth in a straight line.
Let another person take your left
hand in his, and the motion Of the
key will change from the pendulum

ON the shoulder of the second person

while they were enjoying themselves
in that way and annoying ali the
neighborhood and particularly the

had them all before a squire on the
charge of disorderly conduct. They
all stepped up to the Captains desk

The very readable series of paper,
which Edward Everett Haleis writ
ing for The Outlook continues to
grow in interest. That printed in
the February Magazine Number
deals with Lowell's life and friend
ships in college, and contains some
examples Of his poetic work when
he was one OF the editors of .'Iarv.
ardiana." DR.. Hale in this INSTALL
ment tells the true story of LowelPs
suspension from college just before
his graduation, about which for
many years absurd and absolutely
unfounded stories have been circulat
ed. The true cause of the suspen-
sion was simply and solely young
LowelPs lack Of regularity in the
attendance upon the college chapel
exercises. ($3a year. The Out
