Yesterday morning and continued
throughout the day, gaining in inten-
sity late at night. a strong north
wind drove the seas into all the har-
bors until the wharves were almost
submerged. At Kjel the tide last
night was seven feet above normal
and all the lower part of the town
was flooded. the depot being inacces-
sible.
Flcnsburg and Lubbock are partly
flooded. Boat services have been cs-
tablished in the streets in the lower
parts of the towns.
The storm has been very severe at
the seaside resorts. The bathing
houses and landing stages at Herings-
dorf, Misdroy and Warnemunde have
been destroyed. At Misdroy the water
is the highest in forty-two years
II Is feared that many lives have
been lost. The fishermen have suf-
fered severely in the loss Of boats and
nets.
Reports from other sections Of Ger
many tell Of great storms in which
several persons have been frozen to
death and others killed by avalanchcs
in the Bavarian and Saxon mountains.
In the Black Forest the storm blew a
girl into the river and she was
drowned.

MORE DISCUSSION
TUESDAY evening
Board Will Continue Plans
For New High School
Building. /,

The proposed new high school
building will be the chief topic Of
discussion at the regular meeting of
the school board scheduled for next
Tuesday night. and 1t is probable that
some definite plan will be reached in
the matter.
AS a result of the meeting held last
Monday night. it is apparent that the
Of the city is in favor Of the now
building. The board will probably
proceed on that idea, which leaves
only the question of the location Of
the new building to be threshed out.
1t is believed that q majority Of
the board feel that the new structure
should be erected OH the site of the
present high school building,
1t has been pointed out that any
attempt TO change the present loca-
ton would probably result. in dis
agreement among the residents Of the
various parts of the city, and that a
situation similar to that in Mfnot al
the time Of the choice of a location
for the Minot normal school may re-
suit.
There are several plans now before
the board for the erection Of the new
building on the unit system which IL
sirable. and 1t is probable thai one
ct these will be selected either at the
meeting next Tuesday evening, or at
another meeting in the near future.

Sixty Companies to Exhibit
at Annual Exposition

Sixty automobile companies are

i've machines were exhibited last

Der Will be exceeded at the coming

Uses Caesars Calendar.
OF all these rcyisions, tho calendar
of Julian Caesar has proved the most
successful. sue 1t is the one used today.
When Caesar turned his attention
to 1T IN ~ B. c.. the Roman calendar
on schedule, and the first Of January
was coming along toward the end OF
March! In other words. the winter
solstice. from which the New Year
was reckoned. approximately, was
running about three months behind
timc! Caesar put January back
where II belonged by adding a total
OF eighty days to the year AZ 3. c.
Months Iengthened.
Then. to get tho months put to
rights. he decreed that they should
all thenceforth have several days
more than they really ought to have
a true average month, measured by
the cycle Of the moons phases. has
?9h days. Caesar, however, arbi-
trari!y decided that some months
should have 10 days and some 81.
There have been numerous other
revisions Of the calendar at different
times and in different countries, un-
til finally New Years day corres-
ponds with nothing at all in nature.
An Arbitrary Day.
1t is nine days too late for the WIN
ter solstice, which would be an APP
propriate time for the new year to
begin. and it is more than Il day too
early in the perihelion-the time
when the earth reaches the point in
its orbit nearest the sun.
But probably we shall continue to
watch the old year out and ring the
new year in at midnight of Decem-
ber 81. though there is not the slight
est reason why that moment should
be chosen rather than any other mid
night of the 365!

tronomers. And so, to correct it.
they are planning a general revision
Of the running time!
Will Drop Day.
According to this plan, it is sug-
gested that March 20 Of the year 1000
be cut out from the calendar and
completely annihilated. This will be
the simplest method of bringing the
calendar year again into accord with
the true solar year, or actual time it
takes old earth to travel once around
the sun.
The calendar year is composed Of
", takes 385 days, S hours, is min.
utes and 48 seconds for our mundane
sphere to make its annual round trip.
Leap year adds one day to the calen-
dar' every four years. and thus cor
rects the above error-nearly. But
not quite. The additional day is a
trifie too much--enough to make a
difference of three days in every 400
yeae. This further discrepancy was
corrected in 1862 by Pope GREGORY
XIII, who ordered that the years
1900. 1900. 1900. 210o. etc, should
nc. not be leap years. In other words.
the centenary years not multiples of
900 should have 365 days instead of
366: and thus the superfluous three
Gays per 100 years were eliminated
y. Still Too Long.
But, with all these amendments.
the calendar year is still Is seconds
too long. AS result. by the year
1000 the earth will reach the winter
solstice-the time when the day is
ehortest-about - hours before the
calendars schedule it's arrival Hence
the proposed elimination of March 80
Of the year 1000.
Similar readjustments have been
made on numerous occasions in past
history. In England, for instance, in
order to put the English system in
accord with the alterations made by
Pope Gregory, eleven whole days were
suppressed from the month Of Sep
tember, 1852. There were big riots
In the nation when this was done.
