A DELIGHTFUL
MUSICAL TREAT

An audience that completely filed
the assembly room of the High school
greeted Frederick Preston Search
Tuesday evening, on the occasion of
his violoncello recital. With the ex-
ception of a limited number who at
tended with the expectation of hear
ing "Yankee DOODLE Arkansas
Traveller, and like melodies, everyone
present was delighted with the enter
tainment.
While still very young man, Prof
Search is a master of his instrument,
playing the most difficult selections
known to the musical world with great
precision. The piano accompaniment
of Mr.. Palmer was above criticism.
During the entertainment Prof
Abel addressed the audience briefly,
stating that if really irst-elass enter
tainments could be secured, they
would be given. However, as all the
bureaus have their dates filed for the
present season, it is extremely doubt
full if another entertainment will be
given this spring.

WINTER WINDS AND
THE SKYSCRAPER

The action and effect of the wind
on skyscraper is best illustrated by
comparison with that on a box model,
built of flexible material and set on
end. Such model, if exposed to a
strong wind, would Immediately tip
over. This illustrates the first ele-
ments in wind bracing-the necessity
for anchoring the building against
overturning. Tn buildings of large
ground area, the weight of the struc-
ture is usually great enough to pro-
vide all the anchorage needed. But in
very high buildings of small ground
area special anchorage is an absolute
necessity. In the tower of the Singer
building in New York city the col
umns are anchored by heavy steel bars
that extend downward forty-four feet
into the concrete piers. The forty
two-story Smith building, now being
built in Seattle, will be anchored to
the concrete piers by hundreds of
steel rods, each five inches in diam
eter, and extending to the bottom of
the concrete, seventy feet below street
level. When completed, this building
will be like a hollow iron post driven
one-fifth of its length into the
ground.-Popular Mechanics Maya
