What 10 a Miracle?

The phenomena which are usually
spoken Of as miracles are dlstin-
guished by the following facts:
1. That only q very small fraction
Of mankind is, or was, permitted to
witness them, under q wholly excep-
tional set of circumstances.
2. That they are usually Of less In
terest to nOnparticipants, and because
Of their great rarity seem less sig
nificant and less real to the world in
general, than the miracles which we
live among continually and have be-
come accustomed to, and which we
consider TO be caused by the constant
operation of natural laws.-Arthur
Sehnitzier in Vanity Fair.

"The Fast Train"

The Los Angeles Times delivers 4
little essay on speed.
"Just eighty years ago this month
a train on the then newly established
Boston & Maine railway was opened
wide for a record and for some dis
lance raced at a speed Of a mile u
minute. Up to that time this speed
was the fleetest that humans had ev-
er attained. It's different now. They
say that flyer has made FIVE miles
minute, while motorist has done
better than three. Sixty miles an hour
is getting to be around the normal
gait for human movement"

that that was because of the mis-

and Clinton schools" Mr.. Quigley
said.
Mr.. Downes Landed
Mr.. Hall agreed, saying one Of
the boards greatest accomplish
ments was that of engaging John E.
Downes as building supervisor. He
said that if Mr.. Downes was in the
employ of the school department
five years ago $4,000 could have
been saved annually.
At this time Mr.. Hall also de-
clared that the predicted increase In
next five years would not be as great
as in the past FIVE years. He gave
several reasons. With this in mind
he felt that the school population
would not increase as rapidly as the
school authorities had predicted. II
was his opinion that the addition tt
| the school would take care of 1900
pupils and this limit would b.
reached in 1888. eight years from

the 1000 limit could not be reached
for Il years.
At the close of the meeting. Mr.
Quigley urged upon the member
the necessity of discussing the ques

tional feeling and to try to find tn
best way out without using a selnsl

MANCHUR|A should

Chinese Student Talks to vii.
Jamestown Institute Of Politics

,Nilliamstown, Mass, Aug. s Up
The rising tide of Chinese national
ism demands that Manchuria be
freed from japanese Influence Y. c.
Hoe, a young Chinese law student at
Harvard. told a general conference
of the institute of politics in an i'm
promptu address last night.
Jumping to his feet at the con-
clusion of an address by NJ. Zumoto,
Icy of Japan in Manchuria was de-
Tended, Mr.. Hoe declared that Man.
churia was Chinese territory, that
his country would permit no foreign
power to hold it forever an that if
the interloper did not withdraw it
would be driven out.
He declared the argument that ia
pan has special rights in Manchuria
because she developed it was fall
lacious. Should Japan possess the
valleys of California that have been
developed by Japanese farmers" he
asked.
Not Strong Enough
China is not now strong enough to
fight for her rights with such a pow
crful nation as Japan, he declared,
but she might be twenty years from
now.
Mr.. Zumoto had defended Japan's
position on the grounds that China
was not strong enough to protect
Manchuria from foreign aggression
and that the raw materials of the
province were so necessary to ia
pans factories that she must retain
her place as protector there.
To this MIR. Hoe answered thai
China needs markets and raw mater
ials just as much as Japan.
General Yokhontoff. a former
member of the kerensky cabino il
Russia, declared that if Japanese ag
gression in China continued he fear
ed a return of communism there
What Japan really wanted in Man
churia was not the market for he
goods but the great coal and irol
deposits of the region. Manchuri;
belongs to China, General 1okhon
toff said, China needs it and is no
disposed to give it up.
