A question lately asked on a Physics exam- ination paper has caused much pondering. It reads: 4'How can a deaf person become conscious of a sound ? After a great deal of deliberation, we have concluded that the only case in which a deaf person might recognize a sound would be when the sound was in the key of see, CLASS PROPHECY. Flora Ethel McMillan. As the last week of school drew near, the future of my classmates became a subject of great interest to me. One evening as I sat out of doors in the twilight, wondering what would be the future of my classmates after they had scattered from the old familiar halls, I unconsciously wished aloud that I could know the future of each member of the class. All at once I noticed that a star that had pre- viously attracted my attention by its bril- pf

Judging from the actions of some of those who call themselves Juniors, one would not guess.-that they were to be graduated in only another year, but rather, that they must have some connection with the third grade. ,In the Freshmen, the Juniors in question may End an excellent example of manliness which they should try to imitate.

Fascinated by this strange spectacle, I kept my eyes fixed upon it. and to 'my great astonishment saw that it was coming directly toward me. Finally it fell with a great crash at my very feet. XYhen I had sufficiently recovered from my fright and surprise to look around me, I saw a large rock lying upon the ground split into two pieces. The end of a small iron box projected from one of these pieces. I drew it out and to my great amazement saw my own name writ- ten upon it.

After he has completed his college course, he will go abroad to study under a famous Italian painter. -Xlthough he would rather study under French instructors, for reasons best known to himself he will be obliged to keep away from France. .Xfter several years he will return to ,-Xmerica and establish a studio in New York city. He will first attract public notice by a painting called Visions of the Past, which represents a grey haired man seated before a fire, smok- ing. In the wreaths of smoke are pictured the
