Dr. Snow's Reports Show Decrease in Velocity of Wind. Willis Moore, chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau, has written to Dr. Snow of the University, inquiring about the instruments with which he has measured the velocity of the wind. The report or Dr. Snow and the weather bureau do not coincide. The weather bureau in its report claims that the velocity of the wind has not decreased in the last seventeen years. Dr. Snow declares that the velocity of the wind has decreased 15,000 miles a year from the records of the preceding seventeen years. He bases his assertions upon the records of the anemometer, the anemoscope and other instruments for measuring the velocity of the wind. These instruments were installed in the University observatory July 1, 1872 after the building of Fraser Hall. These instruments cost the University four hundred dollars and are absolutely accurate having been tested several times. Dr. Snow says a higher velocity is registered by these instruments than by any in the west, except on the highest mountains. The reason for this is the favorable location, as the top of Fraser Hall is eleven hundred feet above sea level and 250 feet above the Kaw valley. He attributes the disagreement with his observation to the comparatively low situation of the other observing stations of Kansas. Dr. Snow also states that the amount of rainfall has increased at about the same rate the velocity of the wind has decreased and that there is more moisture in the air than formerly. N. E.

The University basket ball team will start on its second trip Tuesday afternoon at Warrensburg, Missouri, where they will play the Missouri teachers that night. Games with K.C. A.C., Independence A.C., Wyandotte A.C., Kirksville Osteopaths and two games with M.S. U. at Columbia follow in order. The team won half of the games on the first trip, but as there are seven games on the second trip they expect to win four. The men who make the trip are: McCune, William Miller, Hackett, Milton Miller, Woodward, Wohler and Bergen. The Man in Overalls. Next Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel Rev. A. A. Tanner, of Alton, Illinois, will give the lecture which was so enthusiastically received by the Knife and Fork club at Kansas City last December. The subject of the lecture is "The Man in Overalls," and the lecture accordingly deals with the old question known as the Labor Problem, but it treats it in an entirely new light. Rev. Tanner left the ministry some six years ago and entered a large factory in Cleveland, Ohio, as a day laborer. He stayed with the company until he was promoted to overseer. Having experienced the workmen's hardships and the employers' troubles and having made a careful study of them both he left his work in order to lecture on the relation of laborer to employer from the standpoint of each. Rev. Tanner is especially sane and liberal and his lecture should be a treat as well as profitable. The lecture is under the auspices of the Sociology departmet and Professor Blackmar is especially anxious that there be a large crowd present. Co-ed Wants Square Deal. An anxious co-ed hands this piece to the Kansan for publication: "Mr. Notestein has invited the boys of his English history classes to come around to his room of evenings and discuss the work with him over their cigars. The girls of the ciass feel that their opportunities for acquiring a thorough knowledge of the subject are being curtailed, that Mr. Notestein is obviously discriminating against coeducation. It is their opinion that Room 11 of Fraser Hall is admirably adapted to a five o'clock tea." If you are going to entertain for Washington's Birthday, get your souvenirs at Weidemann's.
