TESTING FATIGUE

A machine to show just how tired
a man is after light or heavy days
work is now proposed by a noted
French scientist as the best
means for deciding what hours of
labor should be fixed for each trade.
Many tests on post men, printers,
typewriters and men following other
lines of work that require moderate
muscular effort have shown that the
machine he uses can detect fatigue
with much accuracy.
The apparatus is common enough
now to physicians-a device to rec
ord blood pressure. His expert
ments show an increase of blood
pressure with increasing fatigue
and additional check on the results
being furnished by another blood
test.
Having demonstrated that fatigue
can be detected with fair accuracy
in this way his next step is to find
a standard of fatigue that would
constitute fair days work-in
other words, to find the number of
units of increased blood pressure
that would result from normal
working day.
His preliminary results showed
that the amount of fatigue for an
eight or ten hour working day var
les considerably in different trades.

OUR PROTESTANT CHAPLAIN

Some time ago the board of direc-
tors of the Northwestern College at
Fergus Falls, Mimi, extended call
to the Rev. G. E. Benson, pastor OF
the Swedish Lutheran church and
Chaplain of the Minnesota State
Prison, Of tins city, to become the
president of that institution. The
inducement offered to the popular
pastor of the big Swedish congrega-
ton here were fattering, but not
withstanding, Mr.. Benson has de-
clined the post and will remain in
Saltwater.
Mr.. Benson states that he has be-
come so attached to his work and to
the people of this community that he
could not bring himself to the point
where he felt he could accept the
proffered place.
Northwestern College is one of
the most active ard aggressive col
leges in Minnesota. 1t was founded
in the year 1900, and numbers
among it's alumni some of the lead
ing men of the state. Besides the
regular college courses the North
western has a fine conservatory of
music and also commercial de-
partment.
The college will have an enroll
ment this year of over three hun
dred students.

Presents To The Groom

Presents for the groom, is now a
new and novel idea from girl friends
of the bride-to- be, and story Is be-
ing given press credulence wherein
a girl who was going 1000 miles
away from her home to be married
had been the recipient of numerous
showers and presents. Her sister,
wishing to entertain In unique
way, gave luncheon in her honor
and by way of surprise asked each
guest to bring a small gift for the
groom, this gift to be accompanied
by letter or an original poem ad-
dressed to him. Imagine the BRIDE
to- e's astonishment, upon opening
the boxes and parcels, to find, not
presents for herself, but socks, ties,
handkerchiefs. pajamas, collar but
tons, shaving soap, powder, tooth
paste, and everything else that a
man 40 miles away from civilization
might appreciate" A few such
presents wouldn't go a-miss. not even
to us fellows in the Silent City; but
pshaw! What's the use of wishing,
we have no prospective sister law
to start the present scheme for the
groom-to -be in our case? Our only
hopes while in durance vile for little
tokens of love must and do come to
us boys from wives, mothers, sisters
and other dear ones.

cHAUTAUQUA OPENS SUNDAY

The Pierian Circle of the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle will meet in
regular session Sunday, September 10th.
This meeting will mark the beginning of
the twenty-fifth year of the Chautauqua
movement in this institution. Past years
have been very successful, proving in
structive and beneficial to the members who
have perused the edifying literature and
course of studies with determination and
desire to improve their education and ex-
tend their mental capabilities.
ssThe aim of this Circle is to improve the
moral and intellectual faculties of those
who experience desire to improve their
minds by elevating and instructive litera-
ture, and by systematically pursuing the
course of readings arranged by the c. L.
S. c. each year; to encourage individual
discussion of the various subjects under
consideration, and thereby attain that
knowledge which is essential to all who
aspire to an honorable position in the
world, and which is, in itself. rich
guarantee of future good citizenship.
A large number of books, containing the
most excellent and helpful literature, have
been added to the library ofthe Circle, aud, as
will be seen the new volumes embrace some
of the most recent publications and re-
present the most famous of our modern
authors. A list of these books will be
found below.
To lie. NJ, president of the Circle,
much credit is due for the untiring efforts
that he has put forth to make the Circle one
of the best to be found irrespective of sur
roundings.
A large number of inmates have handed
in their application for membership to the
Deputy Warden, but as the membership at
present, is limited to thirty-one there will
be many disappointments.
The officers of the Circle are the same as
was at the old prison: ]. E. NJ, Pres;
]. W., Vice Pres; A. F., Sec. May this
year prove to be the most successful year in
the history of the Pierian Circle.

What mem'ries must press into consciousness
now
What scenes or the past hover DER!
What visions forgotten come throngng to view,
AS troops from far reaching shore!
If we as beholders could catch but glimpse
Of those pictures unrolling for you.
We also would long for the swift passing years
To yield us such happiness. too.
What more could one ask of the Master of time
Who the keys to the future holds fast.
Than that treasures of years that were lovingly
spent
Be stored up for us at the last.

SERVICE
Robert Browning

The sweetest lives are those to duty wed.
Whose deeds. both great and small,
Are close knit strands of an unbroken thread,
Where love enobles all.
Inc world may sound no trumpet. ring no
bells.
The book OF life the shining record tells:
Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes
After its own life working A child's kiss.
Set on thy lips shall make thee glad,
sick man helped by thee shall make thee
strong
Tho shalt be served myself in every sense
OF service which to men thou renderest.
