"The state certificate cannot be issued until this application has been received by the secretary of the state board of education."
"We carnely hope that every student who enrolls with the appointment committee will co-operate with it to the fullest extent; efficient service makes this necessary," he finished.

The new machine is the invention of Commander G. T. Rude, chief of the Survey's division of tides and curve-record comparative tests shown by more than 400 tubehiko used for this work.
The tube, which is a piece of 24 inch long brass pipe with a half inch bore, is attached to the sounding lead or weight. As the tube descends, water flows in through a small hole in it, and air rushes in compressing the air inside. The further down the tube goes the more the air is compressed.

spoken in test taken seriously can
be made into something worthwhile

Something came up and Miss Hedera made the remark that Duddy swiped the last clean sheet and joined the Ku Kui Klun.
