machinery with nothing more than
bruises A. the result Of the drop Of
fifteen feet.
The cause Of the accident vas given
out a. the slipping OF a chain which was
used In Transporting granite. The der
rick was manufactured at the Lane oom-
pany In Montpelier. Working neafby
were four or five granite cutters, and
that they were not caught and crushed
by the machinery or ia weight is the
most satisfactory thing about sorry

Of commission and whether or not II
was rendered permanently useless has
not yet been determined
As those familiar with granite plants
know, the travelling crane runs along an
overhead railway constructed OF heavy
beams, 70 designed TO carry very heavy
loads. The operator Of the derrick does
his work from a platform on the crane,

students and classes in the high school.
The entering class this year is the larg-
est that there has ever been, and the
average in failures this year is 80 per
cent, against 40 per cent. last year.
One reason for the smaller number of
failures ii that the class Is the best one
the school has ever graduated, and an
other reason is that the students from
the country are now required TO pass an
examination before entering the high
school classes.
