Sig William Ramsay the noted Scotch
scientist.
That the selection oi one OF these men
for one OF the most important scientific

ever, that nothing definite will Ice done

something extraordinary and unlocked
for inJervenes. the board will formally
invite Prof. Fisher or Sir William Ram
say 10 become tie secretary. which is
also the executive head Of the Smith
sonian Institution.
