Annual Election Not to Be Held I'm

Annual Election Not to Be Held I'm
til September.
The early closing of the MINNEAPOLIS
schools upset the regular order in the
proceedings of the Teachers club Of
the city to such an extent that at the
meeting held at the West hotel yes
terday afternoon 1t was found neces-
sary to postpone the annual election
from the third week in May till the
third Saturday in September. Notwith-
standing this change, however, the
president of the club, Mrs. George B.
Harrison, delivered her farewell ad-
dress, in which she reviewed the work
accomplished by the organization a
year ago and outlined briefly the posi-
bilities in store for the future. She re-
ferred to the efforts which had been
made to prevent an early closing of the
schools. and admitted that the asso-
citation had at one time seriously con-
sidered appearing before the school
board and presenting the many cogent
reasons why it would be an irrepara-
BILE injury to the city not to make the
curtailments contemplated. They had
refrained, however, believing that
whatever they might say would be in
adequate to meet the reasoning of the
members of the board who had given
the subject such careful consideration
and only adopted heroic measures
when it was evident nothing else would
do.
The club had been approached and
asked to take quarters in the proposed
new woman's building, and the presi-
dent thought it possible that within
very short time they might be comfort
ably housed in quarters set apart espe-
cially for them.
Miss Martin was named as chairman
of a committee delegated to secure re-
duced rates for the summer vacation
period, and a communication from the
Minnesota Federated clubs asking the
Teachers club to exhibit at the Omaha
exposition their year book or a
typewriter copy of the information
usually contained in a year book, was
readsand committee appointed to look
after the matter.

mounted on his hobby and enjoying an early
morning gallop, would think of him astride
of a car of flour or fiat of coal, but, with
Mr. Plough railroading, while it may be a
pleasure, is even more a business, and his
hobby is a horse of quite another color. 1t

The Leaf Cnfter Rec.

A writer in Knowledge describes the interesting operations of the bee called the "leaf cutter" This insect drills in a sand bank hole 10 inches deep and half an inch in diameter and divides it into about a dozen compartments or cells. Each cell is composed of pieces of leaf, cut into proper shapes and care fully fitted together. Rose leaves and sweet pea leaves are among the favorites of the bees.
 The cutting is done with the jaws, while the six legs hold the leaf in posi- tion and enable the insect to turn itself about with the precision of a pair of compasses. Some of the cut pieces are perfect circles. Others are oblong figures of varying proportions. Having cut out the segment of leaf, an operation re- quiring about 20 seconds, the bee car ries it to the sand bank and then re turns for more materials. When a piece has been nearly cut off, the bee, ill or der to prevent tearing, poises itself in the air with it's wings and completes the operation with clean cut.
The St. Johns herald., 1898-09-03
Thunderstoru,A

Do not imagine that because heavy thunderstorm is far away to leeward it is not likely to arise and wet you. Even if the wind is blowing right against the cloud it will come your way all the more surely, for thunderstorms always travel against the wind
 The reason for this is that there is invariably a countercurrent of air above the breeze that you feel close to the earth, and this sky high wind blows in the opposite direction to the one which alone you can detect. Thus the tempest seems to work it's way right through the winds eyes in very con- trary sort of way.
 Fog never does this; neither does ordinary rain-at least very seldom but snow or sleet some time works its way up wind just as the tempest does. Sheet lightning, by the way, is not a distinctive sort of light, but merely the reflection in the sky of forked flash many miles away. You can tell how far away a tempest is by counting the number of seconds that pass between the flash and the peal. Each second stands for about a mile.-New York Herald
