SPARE IN LAST WEEKS
MATCHES.

Dickinson, N. D., Jan. 21.--The third
match Of the Inter-club Indoor Rifle
league series was closed Saturday
evening, with Dickinson at the head of
the list Of twelve clubs entered. The
score of the local FIVE was 965 out of
a possible 1000, while their opponents
or the week, Adrian, Mich, could
muster only SOL This gives Dickinson
two matches out of three. Butte and
St Paul remain unbeaten. A report
from division headquarters at Mime
apolis states that G. W. Keys Of ST.
Paul and j. II. Wolford of the local
club divide high honors of the week
in the league with 1876 points out of
possible 200
The local marksmen have been
steadily improving their scores since
the opening of the schedule, and
have risen to place in the very
front rank of the western clubs. And
reports from the eastern division show
that in their third match but two
clubs made higher scores than the 965
Of the Dickinson five. They were the
Winchester club and the New York
club. In this connection it is we'll to
note that the Winchester men are all
salaried shooters, and do nothing else.
But at that, Dickinson ranks third in
the entire United States for last week.
This week S scores of the clubs
comprising the western league are:
Dickinson 965, VS.. Adrian, SOL.

We resolved not to undress, but to
sleep or rest upon the coverlets. We
sat up together until close upon mid
night, spending what would otherwise
have been very pleasant evening
Our host was man of vast informa-

consent, no further word was spoken
regarding the object of our visit.
Shortly before midnight Celaye began
to yawn.

At the University of Upsala there
is a sound proof room. By building it
on platforms of thick lead and cement
and by constructing its walls of many
thicknesses of felt, cork, asbestos and

been eliminated. The room is so quiet
that the beating Of ones heart or the
creaking of ones muscles is at once

only defect of it as a laboratory for
acoustic experiments is that ventila-
ton is absent and no one can remain
in it for more than an hour at time.
