Washington's birthday will be observ-
ed in the various schools next Monday
afternoon by special memorial exercises
when ceremonies will be held appropri-
ate to the occasion. This is by special
order of Superintendent Jolley, who be-
lieves in instilling patriotism and love
Of the country and government into the
hearts of the pupils. The exercises will
be free for the public to attend and the
presence of parents and others inter
ested in school work would really be APP
preciated by both teachers and scholars
A number of the rooms will be consoli-
dated and hold the exercises together.

Mrs. Ella Stair, principal of the high
school, was remembered by her pupils
last Sunday, who made her birthday the
occasion to present her with a number
Of handsome and valuable presents. This
testimonial of her pupils regards was
entirely unexpected by Mrs, Stair and
she was deeply touched by it. Most OF
the members of the senior class, as well
is many of the others, called on her dur
ing the afternoon to extend their con-
gratuations and show their regard for
their teacher.

to erect small brick structure for the re-

be still greater.

In the Patent Office.

Commissioner Allen Of the patent office
was heard briefly. He stated that there
were great many old men in the service.
and when asked if their experience did not
offset the disadvantages of increasing age
he stated that in the case of clerks expert
ence was of some value. but that in the
case Of examiners the information gained
twenty years ago was OF no value today.
The arts are moving forward so rapidly
that it requires the best efforts OF the ex-
aminers to keep up to date.
Mr.. Allen was asked If there were any
examiners in his Office that were not worth
to the government the amount paid to
them in salaries. After celebrating for
some time he said that there were some
such in his office. but not many. He de-
clared that the body of examiners as a
rule were as fine lot of men as could be
found anywhere in the government employ.
The Office experienced some difficulty in
keeping men whom would like to re-
tain in the service on account of the attrac-
tive offers made them by patent attorneys
and others outside.

The sun is believed to be an immense
ball of yak meat and fat. whereon
the spirits of departed ancestors are
supposed to feast. the light being

When sun or moon fails to appear in

And the parched and sterile condition
of bleak regions is ascribed to the
fact that many thousand years ago the
