PROFESSOR W. A. MORSE.
He Lectures on Liquid Air and Is Fav
orably Received.

Professor w. A. Morse of the De-
partment of Chemistry of the Detroit
High School, Michigan, is becoming a
very prominent figure in the scientific
circles of the East.
Since the introduction of liquid air
Professor Morse has availed himself of
every opportunity to advance in that
branch of science. Nearly three years
ago he left Amador City, this county,
after two successive years of principal
ship in the grammar school of that
place, where he was offered another
term, but, with an eye to financial bet
terment and more extensive know
ledge of his favorite study, chemistry,
he wisely accepted the position he now
holds and which was then open to him.
He was considered an educator of re-
markable ability, and in this respect
he was not flattered. Either during or
out of school he was always ready and
willing to aid his pupils. He would
mingle with them in their games and
enjoyed watching them at play.
He placed great stress upon the NOR
ality of his pupils and never failed to
put the subject before them whenever
he thought it necessary, and tho effect
was gratifying.
In his philosophy class he explained
minutely every point in the lesson. He
insisted on making apparatus for the
practical solution of every subject pos
sible, and it was through his efforts
that the Amador City school possessed
more apparatus than any other school
in the county.
The students in his department of
the Detroit High School give him much
encouragement and work with a will
under his instruction.
Professor Morse has given a series of
lectures on liquid air and they have re-
ceived much favorable comment.
His friends in Amador county con-
gratulate him upon his success and
sincerely hope he will take position
still higher in the ranks of science.

A Good Cold Cure.

Now that the season of colds and
coughs is on, the advice of medical
journal is useful. That is that con-
stant coughing is precisely like scratch
ing wound; so long as it continued
the wound will not heal. Let a person
when attempting to cough take long
breath. until it warns and soothes
every air-cell. The benefit will soon
be felt, and the control of the cough be
much easier the second time.
