1t has been the good fortune of the
Science club of the Rock Island High
school to secure Prof. Hussey, of the
great Lick observatory, to give an as
Economical lecture in this city on May
10. Prof. Hussey will be on his way
from the University of California,
where he delivers his lecture to the
students of that institution, to the
University of Indiana for the same
purpose, and he has consented to stop
off in Rock Island The lecture is to
be accompanied by stereoptcon views
and will be open to the public, with an
admission fee of % cents. 1t will
probably be given in the assembly
room of the High school, and ckets
should be secured at once, as the ac-
commodations are limited. The pro-
ceeds are to be used in purchasing
scientific apparatus for the High
school.
During his stay at the observatory
Prof. Hussey has collected splendid
set of slides, including views of the
sun, planets, comets and other won
ders of the heavens, which can be
projected upon screen, giving to our
people the rare chance of seeing with
their own eyes the wonders usually
reserved for the select few.
1t certainly will be treat, as Prof.
Hussey is an entertaining speaker,
and one which does not often occur in
4 lifetime.

Mrs. G. f. Merryman Entertains at Daw-
son City-Nuggets for Souvenirs.
Mrs. G. E. Merrymau writes enter
tainingly to friends of life at Dawson, in
the Klondike district. She says she
has enjoyed the novelty of life there
but states that the doctor and she are
coming out this summer to dwell in
civilization, but will wait till after the
spring cleanup, and will leave the
country for good on the last boat down
the Yukon, though they have not yet
fully decided whether they will come
ont by st. Michael's or go up the river
and come out via White Pass and
Skagway, and touch at Juneau.
Mrs. Merryman recently gave a
party at Dawson, which was quite a
society event, the guests including
Mr., McCook, the American consul.
The event probably lacked the hot
house plants and the foliage decora-
tons of such n function in the states,
yet the cabin house was bright and
sparkling. Mounted nuggets were
pinned on the lapel of the coats of
the gentlemen guests, and the ladies
received similar souvenirs.
DIR. Merryman has turned his atten-
ton to mining, having given up his
medical practice some time ago, after
the Canadian government denied the
American physicians the right to prac-
tice in that territory. For several
months the doctor has been engaged
in developing some of the claims on
bunker and Eldorado creeks in which
he holds an interest, and will wait till
the dirt il washed ont in the sprinp
before coming out. He says he never
wants to spend another winter in the
country.
