HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Trudgian was conducting the
delinquent examinations last week.
The number Of pupils in tbe high
school has increased SO much lately
that there are not seats enough for all.
The physical geography class can
now read the angle the sun makes
with the / and plane Of ecliptic by
means of an experiment.
We hope the Meeker troop did not
have half as much trouble in learn
ing their military tactics, rs the first
years Latin class have in mastering
their Latin lessons.
With the permission Of the school
board, Prof. Hopkins sent after a
great number Of deep sea specimens,
with which the zoology class are now
trying their skill. These are proba-
bly, the first real deep sea specimens
that have ever been seen in Meeker.
Last week the physics class per-
formed an experiment.: they took the
picture of the lines of force Of a mag
net by means Of a ruby lamp and
dark room. The experiment was a
great success-the resulting picture
being as good, If not better, than that
shown in the textbook.

Another Mine Disaster.

An accident occurred at the 1nde-
pendence mine in Victor Tuesday
morning which cost Is men their
lives. The holsting engine failed to
work properly. and when the cage,
containing 16 men, reached the top of
the shaft it continued on up at full
speed until the sheave wheel in the
gallows frame was reached. The
large wheel was smashed and J. P.
jackson was caught between the
wheel and the heavy timber and torn
to pieces. Another man, James Bull
beck, managed to cling to a timber in
the gallows frame and was soon res
cued by friends. When the cage
struck the sheave wheel tte cable
snapped and the entire cargo of
human freight was dropped down
the shaft 1900 feet in depth.
The bodies of the unfortunate
miners were all recovered by mid
night, but out of the entire humber of
victims, but one was found with the

in Chicago Saturday, caused a panic
among the 1000 occupants of the
building and damaged the stock and
fixtures to the extent Of 10000.
All occupants of the building es-
capped without serious injury, through
the bravery of the elevator men, who

their cars while dense clouds of
smoke filled the building.

facturers of X-ray apparatus. A
