Dr. Tiffany of Kansas City has been conducting some interesting optical experiments at the University during the past week. These experiments were to determine the influence of literary work on the eyes; whether the color of the eyes has any relation to the strength or weakness thereof; if the shape of of the foci is any criterion, etc. He

informs us that literary pursuits do not appear to effect the eyes to any serious extent; that he finds that eyes of hazel cofor are the weakest and those of positive colors—very light or very dark—the strongest. Some of the experiments were highly interesting. Professor Blake was found to have the best eyesight of any of the faculty, Will Curry could see a petticoat around a corner; Jim Challis could see a ten-cent piece in a man's inside pocket. Reed put on a pair of solid brass specs and declared he could see "Hobo" everywhere; Miss Lou Barker was found to have a peculiar affection of the right eye, which was due to the habit of closing it whenever she saw a Phi Psi; Will White made a searching examination for a pair of glasses which could magnify the "Times" subscription list, but failed to find them. Mr. C. E. Street, however, gave evidence of the most acute vision. He adjusted a pair of mercury-backed glasses and made solemn oath he could plainly see the man who stole the historic book.

The inter-state oratorical contest will be held May 2d. This contest is looked forward to by the Washburnites with special interest, since they furnish the orator from Kansas.

The following is from the St. Paul Daily Globe, containing the Minnesota State Oratorical Contest, held April 9th.—
"Soares, second !" and then the University men know no bounds in their joy, for they had second place as well. "Winter, third," and Macalester put in her yell, not quite so lusty to be sure, but still thoroughly audible. And then the rah! rah! rah! started again as the audience dispersed. The points were, Dickinson 15, Soares 16 and Winter $17\frac{1}{2}$. The Phi Kappa Psi's were jubilant, for the first two men were members of their fraternity, and they carried them out flowers and all. As the crowd poured out into the street the ground shook and the motors stopped and the theater people homeward bound turned pale in terror as the cry broke the air.
"The judges not only did very satisfactory work, but as is uncommon to such occasions, did it quickly, and the noise quieted when the president stepped out with the slip in his hand : "Dickinson, First," a storm of applause and then the unquenchable rah ! rahi rah ! rah ! ski—u—ma—min—so—lal—whoop! nearly lifted the roof as the university boys lungs sent it three times pealing through the church.
Rah !-Rah !-Rah !-Ski !-w-Ma-Min-
so-ta! Whoop!
The University Times, of March 22d, contains a lengthy editorial on "contests." It is amusing to read the Times' confessson that contests have fallen into disrepute by order of the faculty. Was there no cause for it? Yes, Washburn students "pull together" and doubtless you could do the same, if you would cease your bickering, and go to work. Say, Times isn't it rather egotistical for you to call Washburn "an ant" or "a mole hill" as compared with your own institution?
