Occupying Our New Building.

Did you ever move modern
printing Office with the thermome-
ter lowering around 100 in the
shade? It's a mighty big job, and
we have been putting in our best
ticks at it during the past week,
with big force of men at work
superintended by Peter Johnson,
who has moved more printing Of
fees, We'll bet, than any man in
Iowa, and knows just how, too. We
have the heavy machinery all in
stalled and running in the new
building, with the rest of the plant
in the old location, and are getting
out this paper in this way, between
times. We don't expect it will be
as good a paper as usual. Ninety
nine out of hundred offices would
skip the issue under similar cir
cumstances, but Public Opinion has
never missed since it was establish
ed.
1t will be couple of weeks or
more before we get Strengthened
around, and then we want all our
friends to come in and see one OF
the very best weekly newspaper
plants in Iowa, and that means one
of the best in the northwest.

DIR. TyndalI's Lecture

DR.. Charles II. Tyndall, the we'll
known scientist and lecturer, was
greeted by another large audience
at his second appearance here
Thursday evening at the Universal
ist church, under the auspices of
the local Y. M. @. A. He was hap
PLY introduced by President Fl. w.
johnson of the association, and spoke
for an hour or more on Radium,
the rarest and most remarkable
element known to science. Radium
has been extracted in an appreciable
quantity only from pitchblend, a
rock found in Bohemia One has to
pay $4,000 to $4,000 for little of
it, and pound of it at present rates
would be worth 100000. The
lecturer had very minute portion
of radium in a glass tube. This,
however, on close examination could
be seen throwing off sparks,-in
constant eruption, 80 to speak AS an
indication of it's remarkable powers.
When it came to describing the
wonderful properties of radium, like
the penetrating power of it's light,
its electric energy and it's mechanical
effect, DR.. Tyndall talked in big
and bewildering figures, of atoms,
of elektrons, and such things, but
he explained the mysteries of his
subject as clearly as it could be done
to unscientifc minds
The lecturers demonstrations
were effective and interesting, DR.
Tyndall setting few hundreds of
millions of elektrons to work for
the pleasure of the audience.
