So it has been proven conclusively
that life can be created from cheni-
cals-another advance in the rapid
progress of scientific research. In a
lecture at Dundee, before the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, Professor Schafer of Edin-
burg university explained how vari-
Gus chemicals had been compounded,
and the processes to which they had
been subjected, to bring about the
end now achieved-the production OF
life. He declared that science has
solved the greatest of human prob.
lens by discovering the very essence
of existence. "But,' said Professor
Schafer ''though life may be made,
it cannot be prolonged Indefinitely
To all human life nature has set a
limit. The universal law, from
which there is no escape, and in the
face of which science stands power.
less, is death.'' !;

Mr.. Taylor quoted some startling

So-called corrective" operations,
many of which have recently, been
performed by surgeons upon persons
who possessed an irresistible desire
to commit crime, appear to have
brought about the desired effect to
have removed the criminal propen-

surgeons have opened up the skull
they have found and removed .cysts

Fair Notes by the Boss.

The fair of 1912 is a thing of the
past. The weather was fine, the at
tendance was large and the attrac-
lions were good, but the exhibits
were not what they ought to have
been. Right here and now we pre-
dict that there will not be vacant
stall in any of the barns or square
foot of unoccupied space in any Of
the exhibition buildings at the fair
of 1913. The management has
learned few things this year.
Hundreds of people visited the
ladies' rest room. It was crowded
with mothers and children every
hour each of the three days of the
fair, and the alert matron, Mrs.
Howard, kept everything in apple-pie
order. Governor Eberhart, Senator
Swanson, Congressman Miller; Hon.
L. G. Spooner and scores of other
strangers were lavish in their COM
pliments of the public-spirited ladies
of Princeton. for providing such a
comfortable retreat for weary moth
ers and children. Mrs. Henry
Webster remarked: "You have
many neat buildings on the grounds
but this rest room is what appeals to
me; it is the best of them all.'
The officers of the association. more
especially President Bryson and Sec
Rotary Stanley, are entitled to I'M
stinted praise for. their untiring
efforts to make it pleasant for exhibit
tors and visitors, and right we'll they
succeeded. The superintendent of
the several departments, men and
women, each and all of them, are al
SO entitled to especial mention, but
lack of time andsi space forbids.
Judge KEITH, ,lWho was neither an
officer of the association nor superin-
tendent Of. a department., took an
interest second only Ito that Of Presi-
dent Bryson and, by common consent
was dubbed the general utility
man.. The: Judge was the presI-
dents right-hand bower and coun-
selor in every move he has made for
the; retirement of the faif grounds.
Among the honored visitors at the
fair was our worthy senator. Hon. G..
j. Swanson of Fridley, who expressed
himself as pleased and surprised at
the extent of the grounds and build
ings. Senator Swanson has proven
himself a good friend of our fair, and
we hope he will be with us again
next year. Another old-time and
honored friend was Hon. H. E..
Craig Of Orrock, accompanied by his
good wife. May a kind Providence
permit them to visit our fair annually
for years to come There were many
present from Cambridge, Mora,
Ogilvie, Anoka and Elk River, and
