After installing escala- tors in native huts, painting the towns red, and putting a banana in every dinner pail, the noted Nicky angered the savage rulers hy demanding that the equator be moved live inches south. Lord Craig, many times pre- sented in Asiatic and Hawaiian throne rooms, on this occasion gave a hall in the Saahis honor, l'ea,turing the hell march, and Lady of the Lake before ad- vancing his cause. Stating that the present location of the equa- tor caused the sun to rise five minutes earlier than necessary, he moved that the line be trans- planted to such a position that old Sol would appear at 8:25 in- stead of 8:20, still allowing ample time to arrive on campus before the tive minute hell. The Saah, an educator of the old school, roared his disap- proval-claiming that no mere two-legged jitter-hug can jitter the sun out of position.
