Interpreting a ProbIsru.

Apropos of the problem of the great
est number that can be expressed by
three figures, L. Capitaine writes that
the figures 9s' may be interpreted in
two different ways. They may mean
the ninth power Of the ninth power Of
., or they may mean o raised to the
ninth power of 8.
The ninth power of 0 is 3s7, 42O, 4s9.
This number raised to the ninth power
Is nothing SO tremendous; any one
could do the necessary calculation with
little time. as the result has only
about seventy-five figures. But II we
accept the second Interpretations
raised to the ninth power Of Cit
means that we shall have to multiply
0 by itself 3s7. APO, 4s9 times, which is a
very different thing.

WILL ORGANIZE BRASS BAND.

Cottonwood it at last to have a brass
band. This decision was reached
at a meeting held late last week when
some twenty of the young men of this
town and vicinity got together and
talked over the proposition and decided
that town as good as Cottonwood
must needs have some music The
plans have not yet progressed far
enough to perfect an organization but
the boys have decided to furnish their
own instruments and figure on being
able to secure sufficient support around
town and by giving concerts and dances
to meet the expense of an instructor
and to buy the necessary music. Prof
Shattuck, of Ferdinand, has agreed to
come over twice a week and put them
through thei rpaces and it is hoped that
they will be able in the course of a
few weeks to make an occasional APP
pearance in public.
A band has long been needed here
and we sincerely hope tie present move
will result in a permanent organization
beig maintained. There are plenty of
boys and young men hereabouts who
can take part in the work to make the
band success and at the same time
they will be securing much valuable
musical instruction while members of
the band. The town should give the
boys loyal support, for it is much bet
ter to have band of our own than to
pay out large sums each year for out
side organizations and often go without
music on occasions when it is almost in
pensible.-Cottonwo Chronicle
