GETS VALUABLE PARCHMENT
Illinois University Given Translation
of Aristotle of 18th Century.

Urbana, H., May S.-President Ed
mund j. James of the University of
Illinois has presented to the univer-
sitv library beautiful written and IL
Illuminated parchment manuscript of
the fourteenth century The manu-
script consists of siXty-six folios which
contain a Latin translation of a por-
ton of Aristotles works. 1t is le-
garded as a rare and interesting work
The university library rapidly is be-
coming one of the major collections
in the state.
The manuscript was presented to
President James by Dr.. Frank w.
Gunsaulus of Chicago. DR.. G'msaulus
thinks it is the work of a scribe who
lived in Bologna in the thirteenth CEN
tury. In his opinion this translation
is valuable because Michael Scotus
must have brought from a Greek text
a purer Aristotle to modern times
than would have been possible, or at
least probable, if it had come around
by the way of an Arabian translation.

Des Moines, Ia, May 8.-Couples
wishing to be married in Des Moines
will have to get preacher to perform
the ceremony. There are no justices

A joker in the law that omits any
specification for the Municipal judges
to perform marriages was discovered
by Judge Joseph Meyer when he pre-
pared to marry d waiting couple.
81 guess you'll have to go to a min
lister. The law doesn't provide for us
to do anything of that sort"
The next legislature will be asked
to amend the Municipal court law to
permit Municipal judges to preform
ceremonies.
