This Now Agitates Numbers of
School Board.
There Are But Ten Members of tho
Board-Committe on Law
Wanted.
MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED.

A question now agitating members
of the board of education is, if quo
rum of the twelve members of the
board is necessary to make appropria-
tions or transact important business
when the board has only ten members.
Since the resignation of Trustees
Fuller and McFndden the board is
short two members, no SUCCESSORS hav.
ing been elected. and at the last board
meeting the discussion as to what
should constitute quorum was
brought up The members differed
and while the matter is not of vi
tai Importance now, it may be
should any important measure como
up for consideration before any sue
cessors to Messrs. Fuller and MoFAd-
den are elected.
Some members hold that the quo
rum necessary to transact business
must be . quorum Of twelve members,
but other members claim that quo.
rum of the ten members only is nec-
essary.
In other cities there is committee
ON law has such matters as.this to look
after, but no such committee exists
here and the trustees are thinking Sc
riously of appointing one. There is
no way to get at any legal matters.
At the meeting next Friday night
it is probable that some action to-
wards appointing a law committee
will be taken.

NOTE AIMED AT ENGLAND.

st. Petersburg, Feb 26-There are
active preparations Of Denmark and
Sweden and with the recent presence
there Of a special message from the
kaiser may be taken as representing
that in case England becomes involved
in the war, the Baltic will be closed
by the smaller powers, under the
agreement and protection of Germany.
England was aimed at directly in the
late Russian note concerning the in
dependence Of Korea.
The Novoe vremya takes up the
matter saying: England keeps silent
now when Russia demands the reoog-
milton of the independence Of Korea,
but will howl loudly when the time
arrives, which will surely come, that
Russia begins to drive the japanese
back. If England does not declare
herself Russia will have full right to
consider the Anglo-Jspaneso treaty as
directed against herself"

Wisdom Of It.

The belief Of good luck and bad luck
coming from certain omens is almost
universal, and even people who con-
slider themselves enlightened have pet
superstitions. Sometimes, too, it seems
as if they were justified in holding
them. For instance, woman warned
a friend not to walk under ladder,
which was propped over the sidewalk
against house, because it would bring
misfortune. The injunction was not
needed. and the bold defer Of bad
signs was soon after showered with
the contents of pot of paint which a
workman above had carelessly tipped
over. This spoiled her new spring
suit, and now she AYERS that there is
