The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1909-04-03

appeared Thursday and satisfied the
curiosity of the expeetant students,
One OF the most noticeable things IL
the large number of pictures II con-
tafns and their excellence With It's
100 illustrations 1t surpasses previous
publications in this respect. On the
margin OF each page Is small indian
head design which is in keeping with
the annual's name, Wau Kau and also
the activities Of the class, most OF
whom belong 10 the organization
known as tine tribe" One OF the most
interesting pages is the one which tells
what each of the faculty members,
when entirely off his guard, said to
the Junior asking for his signature Tor
the annual. These are given so ac-
curately, are so characteristic and the
incident so unusual as to be nlghly
amusing. The hits in Wau Kau OS
are not hard ones, and are in harmony
with the kindly and peace loving cha
racter of the authors. 1t is dedicated
to Miss True. The Junior class. is to
be congratulated upon putting out so
excellent a book. 1t is hoped that the
expensive and difficult venture may be
a financial success.
The lecture on the Great Pyramid of
Egypt by President Vittum last Tues
day evening was as interesting as
novel. This great wonder was built a
few thousand years before Christ by
unknown persons and in unknown
ways. 1t ranked first among the seven
wonders of the world anG is the only
remaining one Of them. There Is suf-
ficient stone in it to build a wall four
feet high and one and one-half feet
thick from New York to San Francis
co. In it are three chambers and pas
sages. with provisions for ventilation
Each of the stones in the ceiling OF
one room weighs. according expert
authority, at least fifty-four tons. How
such could be cut, transported 1,OOC
miles and then raised 200 feet and put
in place over 1000 years ago, is indeed
a deep mystery. The walls OF this
granite finished cha mber is highly pol
ished and the blocks so perfectly put
together that it Is almost Impossible tc
tell where they are Joined. A 'magni'
fying glass has to be used for this
purpose. The Great Pyramid is locat'
ed about in the center of the land o.
the world and it Is near the meridian
and parallel that pass through thu
I longest areas Of land. Why the pyra'
mid was built is almost as great
mystery as how it was made.
