tee TO transact business.
Each committee shall, at each an
nual meeting, report in writing a sum-
mary of its proceedings since the last
annual report, together with any sug-
sestions deemed suitable and peril
nent to its powers, duties or BUSH ess.
A general summary of all such an
nual reports and the proceedings of
the annual meeting shall be prepared
and printed by and under the direc-
ton of the executive council, together
with the constitution, bylaws, names
and residences of officers, standing
committees and members of the asso-
citation as soon as practicable after
each annual meeting.
In the constitution, as reported by
the committee, it was provided that
the annual dues should be SO per
year. After considerable argument
the dues were fixed at IS, and the
constitution was then adopted without
further amendment, although several
proposed amendments were offered
but defeated.
Permanent Officers Elected.
A committee to select the names of
officers and report the same to the
convention, was then named, and re-
tired. This committee consisted of
William Hunter, of Tampa; W. B.
Clarkson, of Jacksonville; sgd L. Car
ter. of Gainesville; A H. Mickler, of
st. Augustine, and W. A. Carter, of
Tampa.
The committee was out for quite a
while and finally reported the names
mentioned near the beginning of this
article as those nominated for the per-
manent officers of the association.
The secretary OF the temporary Or
ganization was authorized by unani-
nous vote to cast the vote for the
election of the officers nominated and
all were declared elected.
This perfected the organization and
the newly elected president, Mr. r.
L. Anderson of Ocala, was escorted
to the chair and presided over the
further proceedings.
To Meet in Jacksonville.
An invitation to hold the next an
nual session of the convention in
JacksonvIIle was extended by Mr.. w.
B. Ciarkson, on behalf of the Jack
sonyille Bar Association. As the
place of meeting is to be selected by
the executive council, on motion OF
Mr.. r. E. Davis. of Gainesville, it was
declared to be the sense Of the asso-
citation that the executive council Sc
lect Jacksonville as the place for
holding the next meeting.
Some routine business, only of il
terest to the members of the associa-
ton, was then transacted, and the
convention which had organized itself
into the State Bar Association, ad-
journed, subject to the provisions OF
the constitution and bylaws, and also
with the avowed intention of all the
members to meet at the banquet last
night at the Aragon, given by the
Jacksonville Bar Association.

John Knox, the reformer, would
seem to have possessed In 10 ordinary
degree the spirit of prediction and to
have foretold with accuracy not only
certain remarkable events of public
Importance. but also the ultimate fate
of certain individuals. Thus when con.
dcmned to the galleys Mt Rochelle he
took his sentence with the greatest
composure, merely remarking TINT I'm
spite of 1t he would within two or
three years preach the gospel I'm. st.
Giles, Edinburgh" This prediction,
most improbable of accomplishment at
the time 1t was uttered, was afterward
literally fulfilled. Knox predicted with
accuracy the deaths OF Thomas Multi
land and Kirkcaldy of Grange and sol.
emily warned the regent, Murray, not
to go to Linlithgow, as IL he did so he
would there meet his death. The re-
gent disregarded the warning and did
, meet with the fate of which Knox he'd
forewarncd him.

CHINESE USE TIME STICKS.
Each Will Burn Throughout a Period
Of Involve Houra


The Chinese have several contriy-
nnces for keeping the time of day. The
water clock has often been described,
but the use OF burning sticks is leas
familiar. These are described by Colo
mel Bridges In his book, pRound the
World In Six Months"
We bought n small bundle OF time
sticks. The sticks, each OF which Is
thirty-two inches long, are used, as
their nnme more or less implies, for
the purpose of measuring time. For
use by day some are especially made,
while others for service by night are
particularly constructed.
Each burns during Il period of twelve
hours. or these king Alfreds can

them, we bought two nnd from print

the man who sold them we learned
the following particulars:
The materials from which these time
measuring sticks are made are pre-
pared according TO the directions of
the official or imperial astronomers or
astrologers. The duration OF each
time stick is adjusted according to the
clepsydra or water clock, 80 that the
time which 1t indicates when burning
may be regarded as correct.
Time sticks which are manufactured
to mark the hours OF the day must DO
lighted at day dawn, when the lines
on the palm OF the hand are just Wis
lble. while those which are constructed
to mark the hours of the night must
be lighted Mt dusk, when the lines on

be placed In perpendicular position.
