What 10 q Boarding Housed
From the Tacoma Ledger.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
The city attorney at Renton. in this
state, has our heartfelt sympathy. He
must find an answer TO the most diff
ficult question we ever knew to be
propounded to a public officer. This
is the poser he must solve: What is
a boarding house? A town ordinance
provides for lower water rent from
boarding houses than from private
dwellings. Consequently great many
users have sought to pay under that
clause. The city council became sus-
picious and began an inquiry. Many
confusing definitions were given. One
councilman offered to prove that one
place was q boarding house because q
great many shirts were hanging on the

The Calendar Serves Well.

From Scranton Tribune Republican.
BY suppressing ten days of the cal
endar Pope Gregory XIII, in 1882, re-
stored the equinox to March 81, in
spite of the equalizing Of things in the
arrangement of leap year the calendar
Is still ahead of the solar year, but as
the error amounts to only one day in
1896 years, there is no necessity that
we should worry about it. This cal
endar has answered all purposes SO
we'll that it is impossible to see why
there should be any demand for an
other arrangement that would create
half months and independent days.

The order for a radium safe was ex-

safe had not only to be absolutely bur-

difficult requirement to fulfill.
Steel would not serve the purpose,

yesterday, Harvard crews taking all
three of the annual races from Yale.
The freshmen Fights rowed first and
Harvard's boat finished three good
lengths ahead of the New Haven

Harvard men won by four good
lengths and in the varsity eight con-
test the result was the sameas in
the four.o cared race. Slow time was
made in the first two events, owing
to the wind. The Harvard men won
on stamina. and though the Yale
crews led at times in all three events,
they proved unequal to the hard pull
at the finish. In the varsity eight
