rooms, the library, principal’s office, and auditorium. On the second floor the hall is similar to that just discribed, except that it is lighted by a large skylight. From it opens the class rooms, the art department, and the physical and chemical laboratories. Each of the three stationary tables in the chemical laboratory will accommodate twelve pupils with space, sinks, drawers, compartments and faucets. In the physical laboratory each of the four tables will accommodate eight pupils. Here a beautiful new cabinet endows all of the apparatus, much of which is new. All the rooms in the building are in white plaster wuth golden oak woodwork and hardwood floors. Hot and cold water is supplied throughout the building; sanitary foun¬ tains in the halls, and w ' hen the building is completed it may be lighted by electricity, and the laboratories will be furnished with gas. We wish to express to the patrons and to the honorable School Board our appreciation of what they have done for us in the erection of this beautiful new building. A public reception to be held in the new building in the near future is being planned. We hope to welcome large numbers of patrons of the schools and citizens of Astoria on this occasion. “Stick to me close,” said the envelope to the stamp. “By gum, I will,” was the reply.—Ex. Mr. Eply: What is a lake? Bright Student: A dammed stream.—Ex. First Girl: Did you take “gym” last year? Second Girl: No, Jim took me.—Ex. “Why is a cigar like a play?” “Because if it’s bad it won’t draw, and if it’s good you want a box.”—Ex. He: Will you marry me? She: No. And they lived happy ever after.—Ex.

©ur Bevv Mt0b School We, the members of the Astoria High School, were very much dis¬ appointed at the beginning of this semester to find that the new building was not ready for occupancy. But now ' that we are settled in our new quarters, we feel that we are more than repaid for waiting, as the building is nearer completion and we can better appreciate its advantages. Situated just beneath the brow of Coxcomb Hill, it occupies one of the loftiest positions in the city, from which it commands a view of expansive harbor extending from Tongue Point on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west and including the breadth of the river to the northward and the hills beyond. It is centrally located and is in the most desirable part of the city. The grounds cover a block, leaving room for a tennis court at the rear of the building and for a lawn in front of it. These are not in perfect order yet, but we expect them to be so in time to make a good showing during our Centennial in August. The building itself is a concrete structure, about one hundred and seventy by eighty feet, with two stories and a basement. It is plain and rectangular, the straight line of the front being relieved by the main entrance and the projection of the two corner rooms. The entrance is approached through a porch of Doric architecture, constructed of terra cotta, and lending dignity to the appearance of the structure. We have twenty rooms, eleven on the first floor and nine on the second, besides a gymnasium, manual training department and a number of rooms yet to be completed. In addition to this, our assembly hall will be, when completed, fifty by eighty-five feet. Each floor has a long hall from which the rooms open. The corridors are especially beautiful. Around the walls in subdued salmon colored burlap cornice and frieze of white glazed plaster. At each end of the lower hall which extends half way to the ceiling, and above which is the horizontal are the stairs leading to the second floor and decending to the rear en¬ trance of the building and to the basement. The main entrance opens into a vestibule which is also finished in glazed plaster, but with a fancier cornice and frieze than that of the halls. This vestibule leads up to the lower hall from which open the several class

DER DOM ZU MERSEBURG. Der Merseburger Dom ist einer der interessantesten Kirchen in ganz Deutschland. Es wurde mir geraten ihn zu sehen. Weil es gerade Sonntag war alsich ankam hatte ich gelegenheit dem Gottesdienst bei zu wohnen. Nach der Predigt fuhrte uns ein Diener durch den Bau und zeigte uns viele interessante Reliqien, wovon die meisten aus dem vienzehnt ' en Jahr hundent stammtin. Die Orgel welche 5876 Pfeifen hat ist eine der groszten Europas. Die Pfeifen Konnen aber nicht alle gheischzeitig gespielt werden sonst wurden die Tenster zerspringen. Die sitze in der Kirche wurden im vierzehnten Jahr hundent von Monchen geschnutzt. Dann gingen wir hinunter in die “Gruft” worin die Sarge einer Anzahl verstorbener Bischofe Platz finden. Die Sarge waren aus Bronze gemacht. In einem Glass-schranke hingen einige von Alter zerfallen Kleider. Eins davon war ein Rock den Martin Luther getragen hatte. In einem Glass- Kastchen lay eine ausgetrocknete Hand. Es war die Hand die einem Rivalen Kaiser Heinrich’s des vierten in einem Gefacht bei der stadt abgeschlagen wurde. Als man ihm die Hand zeigte soli Er gesagt haben,” Das ist die Hand mit welcher ich dem Kaiser den eid der Treue leistete.” Im auszerem Schloss-hofe steht ein sehr grosser Vogel-Kafig der wenigstens zehn Tuss in Durehmesser miszt. In diesem Kafig wind seit hundente Jahren ein Rabe gefangen gehalten als Gedachtnisz an ein unschuliger Opfer der Ungerechtigkeit. In dem vierzehnten Jahr hundent wohnte in der nahe in einem Schlosse Bischof Thilo von Thrata. Eines Tages vermisste er reinen golden en Siegel-ring und deschuldigle seinen Diener Johannis des Diebstahls. Dieser beteuerte seine Unschuld aber alles Sugnen half ihm nichts und er wurde zum Tode verurteilt. Noch auf den Richtplatz rief er Gott zum Zeugen an dasz er unschuldig sei und sagle er wurde die Flande zum Himmel heben nach dem ihm der Kopf abgeschlagen geworden war, und er tat es auch wircklich. Einige Jahre spater fand ein Dach-decker als er dasz Dach eines der sieben Turne ausbessente den Ring in dem Neste eines Raben, und brachte ihn dem Bischof. Voller Reue befahl dieser dasz hinfunt fur ewige Zeiten ein Kabo gefangen gehalten werden solle als andenken an den unschuldig cnthauptetin Johannis. Auch liesz er i den Mauern der Gebaude, die den innern Schlosz-hof umgeben, das Bild Johannis einmauern. Jetzt Kann man 2 3
