the tent.
Queen Was Present.
A large number of people were at
tracted to the tent before the hour for
the opening of the doors, by the pres
ence of the queen of the carnival, Miss
Mamie Skogerson, and her maids of
honor, who arrived in automobiles and
were shown to seats on the platform.
Mr.. F. s. Burrage. representing both
the management of the show and the
Imperial Military band, made the pre-
sentation speech, lauding the hand
some young lady not only as the queen
of the carnival but as a Laramie queen
as well. He placed the beautiful dia-

These ceremonies ended, Queen Nan.

witnessed the third and excellent pro-

Best So Far Given.
The performance was better even
than on the night before, the large
crowd evidently forming an i~nspira-
ton for the ladies and gentlemen who
so effectively filled the roles assigned
them. Miss Adams, Mr.. McCabe and
Mr.. Miller are almost irresistible In
their merriment, the other members
of the party winning encomiums at
every appearance. The other features
of the carnival were all well patron
lied. Not an untoward occurrence has
befallen any feature so far, the show
people proving to be ladies and gentle
men. b.

when it developed that the parts were

and well drilled chorus that did not
seem discouraged at the smailness of

chief interest, but there was a chance
for everybody to do something, and On

How Fast t4iawatha Ran.

from tine London post.)
th.trrmtn. how fast, asks Prof.
Ereenhill. Hlawatha eau run from the
followin data:
Strong Of arm was Hiawatha;
He could shoot ten arrows upward
And the tenth had left the bow
string
Err. the first to earth hal fallen.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha:
He could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swift
ness
That the arrow fell behind him.
Seglecting the resistance OF the air
and granting that Hiawatha could
shoot one arrow "A second. the solu'
ton IL as follows:
The time of flight of the arrows
shot upward must have been nine sec
onds. Therefore the velocity with
which they were shot. being equal to
the time multiplied into half the value
of the constant of gravity. was la
feet a second.
Now. In shooting as arrow from
him Hiawatha, to obtain the furthest
flight. would let fly at an angle OF 46
degrees. and by a single trignome'
trical calculation WI therefore arrive
at the fact that the horizontal velocity
of the arrow would be rather less
than i44 feet a second, and would In
fact be 102 feet a second. or seventy
miles an hour. Hiawatha would there
fore have to run faster than this
Gould he do 1t on a sprint?
Again having recourse to caicula
ion we find that an arrow shot at IA
feet a second would fly. ZIG yards. o.
nearly a furlong. Hiawatha would rur
that distance In about seven seconds
SO that he would be able to give thu
