The latest plan of electric lighting is soon to be installed in the Memor- ial and Library building. that will ne cessitate the removal of the present elaborate chandeliers.

Pendleton, q member of the board of trustees. and of the spe- cial committee on lighting Sidelights were placed near the landing of the staircase leading to the second floor and MT. Pendleton declared that the time would come when an overhead light, would be placed from the high ceiling at that point. By reason oi the height a chandelier was considered impracticable.
 MT. Pendleton, as a matter of econ ony, ordered that the wiring contrac include a branch to the point men tioned. It was done and a contro switch was placed in connection there With.

are so sharp that unless the warming is
given with the rattles person would
hardly know what bit him. Side wind
