It is a condition, Of universal pos
session. Its force is derived from
sources that are indeed wide spread,
but vet are closely allied with these
animate beings, man and beast, and,
in an extreme sense, with nature.
For example of this spirit in hu-
though not in themselves
proof, let us recall number OF his
torical incidents that are Of seeming
significance, namely, Columbus, be-
lieving the world of spherical form,
was so animated by curiosity, and
so eager for proof of his contention
that, finally succeeding in gaining
the assistance of Isabella and Ferdi-
nand, he set sail for America. In
like condition, it is possible to con-
ceive, were his predecessors, the
Norsemen, and his successors, Yes
pucci and Cabot, and Drake, the
first to circumnavigate the. globe.
In fair way, then, this spirit OF
unrest is a condition of being that
denotes dissatisfaction with the pres
ent state, desire for different mode
of life, different position, etc.
1t is an inductive supposition-
that it is brought about through our
possession of the five senses, to wit:
We see something we'd enjoy hav-
ing for ourselves; we hear of a po-
sition to which another has attained
and we'd like to; we smell the aroma
of wooded depths and blossoms OF
the fields and meadows and genera
!, fragrance of the outing places; bu
in our busy days of toll, we find NJ
time for journeys to these.
We taste, in intellectual delight
the romances of Worlds beyond
our KEN and find, in sealed-tol
: bottle goods, the healthful waters o
9 a Bethesda Spring, or vintages from
y sunny France, and old Madeira; bu
to these we cannot 90. We Tee

n needed presences, we feel to pass U
. by; we are like empty match boxe
n feeling our discarded selves useles

management, becoming the lead

of New York city. His half interest
at his death was valued at one mil
lion dollars. Possessing abundant
means he purchased large estate
on Long Island called Cedarmere
and surrounded himself with para
disc such as lover of nature would
enjoy. Here with his wife and
beautiful daughter he lived the life
of a country gentleman and poet.
Hale and hearty TO the last, lover
| of freedom, his last and most eloquent
address was given at the unveiling
in Central Park, New York, OF
statue to Mazzine the Italian patriot.
Over exposure from hot sun caused
an illness from which he never re-
covered. Bayard Taylor wrote OF
him:
"Our country's earliest bard,
For all he sang survives in stream
and tree, F. .
And bird and mountain crest,
And conservation of uplifted lives
. To Duty's stern behest."

g pen than that possessed by the writer.

Harry D. Maxim Is Now Super

BERKELEY, July Three years
ago Harry p Maxim was cleaning the
campus path and walks of paper and
other refuse He spent four years In
college doing odd jobs of a similar
nature and had hard time to make
both ends meet in the struggle for a
university education Today he was
notified of his election as supervising
principal of the MADEIRA schools, a posi-
tlon which carries with it the salary,
duties and responsibilities of a super
intendent of schools. His brilliant
scholarship attainments, combined with
his unusual executive and disciplinarian
aplilt1es, after year as principal of a
MADEIRA school, won for him the i'm
portant place
Maxim has had life of reverses as
a student rarely paralleled in univer-
sity life. He came to America from
Russia when his father, an influential
citizen of the great empire, incurred
the diSpleaSure of the authorities
Young Maxim soon decided that
college education was an essential for
success in the new world in which by
fortune of politics he had been cast.
He set about making plans to secure it.
BY d1nt of hard work he applied him
self so well that he was graduated near
the head Of his class from fashionable
New England preparatory school.
JOINS ROWING BAND
The west he believed held the oppor-
tunities for a young man struggling
for an education. and joining rowing
band he turned his face westward, ar
riving here after many hardships over
years ago
The University of California was the
bright light on his horizon and he en-
tered the institution after working for
some time in San Francisco with the
class of 1907. He encountered reverses
from the beginning, and the various
jobs he worked at to make his expenses
would fill a page.
Still he had time for his favorite sport.
football, and although he had not the
opportunity to continue this activity in
his first year he made the scrub"
eleven, apd his prowess on the gridiron
perfected the varsity for its annual
Stanford game.
FIGHT CAMPUS FIRES
He was a member of the Prya club
of the students, and many times with
others he was called upon to quench an
incipient t-blaze which, but for the en-
ergy and daring of the fire brigade,
would have resulted in the loss, per-
haps, of a college building.
The coveted degree secured at last,
Maxim secured a position in the Uni
versity boys school of San Francisco.
but he was arrested on a battery charge
preferred by pupil under him. The
case was, however, dismissed. and as
told in The Call, he received hundreds
of offers from all parts of the west of
in schools where strict
discipline was the rule.
Maxim knows dozen languages and

student of history and English, as well
as being well versed in other branches.
He is a modest young man and was

regarded as hard working student
with a brilliant future before him.
