Commencement.
A Gala Week.    Nine Graduates Launch
Out Into Life's Sea.
Last week was a busy one for our
scho.il interested people. The closing
exercises of oui* school were an honor
to both teachers and pupils. The parts
were well assigned and each one who
took part, did nobly. This is always
looked forward to with pleasure.
The Baccalaureate
Sermon or address was giveD by Dr.
Ryan of Ypsilanti, at the school hall
Sunday evening. The speaker took
for Ms text the words "What Think
Ye of Christ." His remarks were good
and much appreciated by the large
audience that listened to him Mr. R
is a pleasant and pleasing speaker.
Promotion
Exercises were held in the chapel
Thursday morning as usual and the attendance good. The decorating committee had not forgotten their duty
and the room gave an appearance of
pleasure and welcome. The number
promoted was fifty three.
Commencement Exercises
were held in the opera house Thursday evening, and the weather though
warm, was not suffocating as in many
previous occasions. The class, consisting of seven young ladies and two young
gentlemen, were seated on the stage
with the Professor, Rev. Wallace and
the chairman of the school board.
The house was well filled at an early
hour and the exercises passed off most
pleasantly. The muoic which was furnished by a quartet from the Normal
Conservatory was very good
The first of the literary program was
the
Salutatory
by Linnie A. Rogers. Not excessively
long, but bright and cheerful, in a
pleasing, graceful, manner, she bade
the citizens welcome to the exercises.
Her number was a pleasing introduction to theeveni ng program.
A Recitation
by Gertrude R. Miller, was the continually interesting poem 'Scotlauds Maiden Martyr." Gertie is one of qui- dis"
trict school graduates, and completed
the three year jjgnglish. course in two
years, She rendered the production
witb a clear well modulate-1 voice
which reflected upon her much credit.
The first
Essay
on the program was given by Olive A.
Cressy. She treated her subject,
"Common Sense in Education" in a
some what unusual way, but the production showed that not a little of the
element of "'Common Sense" had been
used in the production of her paper,
Agnes J. Mclgin.nQ.q. folluwlng her
adaptiibiUty'n
"RlieiTATION"
rendered the very difficult poem, '*Mo-
nas Waters." Agnes has an exceptional
voice and moreover ha? splendid control of it. Her Impei'gomUlon of the
different characters of the piece was
one of the pleasing numbers ot the program.
We are always glad to give credit
where credit is due, and certainly   tbe
Oration
"Honor to the Greek" by Chari.es
Wllliarcs deserves special mention.
The subject matter of the oration
was well selected and the control of the
English language shown in its arrangement was beyond that usually found in
High School productions. Added to
this was a strong ■'■onvincjnii forcible
delivery. Charles U i credit to the
tbe school, our village, nnd his race,
and we wish him continued success.
The Class History
was the usual chrtiniuling-* of the un
usual happenings uf the uiiuuskI ohiss.
These facts and iigun-s wero very interesting as compiled by the class Distort''n Ril-jti W. Iibelt. The mini
pleasant aovcdott s told aud sharp j-ib
given his classmates were well given
and well received.
An Essay
The ''TJselessness of War" was the t-ub
jejt chosen by Rose L Wood. The
paper was a strong arrangement of the
savagery of war and equally stroi g
argument for international arbitration.
It was a nicely wo/ded. a*id, well delivered nlutni'-'e*j.
E^ery QO,e. is ip^ere-^ed in this clus*
of-"'J?, what it is to ba was for-told in
the
Class Prophecy
by Caroline L. Friis. If prominent
characteristics are any criterion, 'Lena*
has undoubtedly told with considerable
accuracy.the fate of her eight classmates. Her piau was nicely arranged
and well evolved and reflected much
Credit to her ingenuity.   The prophecy
took well with the audience.
The literary program closed   with the
"Valedictory. ■
Mabel S. Kyte, because of her scholarship for tbe whole High School course,
was chosen Valedicrtorian. In the
literary ro irit >C h :>• effort and ihe.
pleasing delivery, she surely t-u&tained
her well earned reputation. It was a
fitting climax to the very pleasant exercises.
The first part of the Alumni program
was given as announced at the school
hall, after solos by A. P. Clark and P.
H. Rouse the assembled alumni und
friends were given a rare literary treat.
The Orator of the occasion was Judge
H. Wirt Newkirk of Ann Arbor, and
his subject, Moral Education. The
Judge is a polished orator and his address was a schoarly effort. In the
future Mr. NewKirk may always feel
assured of a cordial welcome by Sallue
audiences. The exercises closed with
a duet by Messrs- Rouse and Clark.
These gentlemen are always favorites
with Saline people and the music wos
of the usual high order furnished by
thera The alumni and friends then
adjourned to the opera house where
plates were spread for their sixth annual banquet. No efforts had been
spared by the officers and committee of
the association to make this fully
equal to any of their previous reunion
ana no one who partook of their refreshments and listened to the response
toasts doubts their success. B. P.
Davenport the patriotic alumni of :72
acted as toastmaster, and there were
nearly a dozen sharp and witty responses given and responded to.
There has been for some time a little
lack of interest in the alumni association but the unqualified success of
this gatheringdispells «U doubt as to
the pleasure and bteq-sEH of these reunions. Prom, this time on the alumni
will always be one of the pleasant
features of commencement week.

Users of Paper.
England uses more of the 7,900,000,-
000 quires of paper produced annually
by the'4,000 mills of the world than
any other country, the United States
coming next, followed in the offer
named by Germany, France, Austria,
Italy, Mexico, Russia and Spain. Of
the above amount 600,000,000 quires
are used for newspapers, of which the
United States is the largest consumer.

Tunneling the Strait of Messina.
Engineering achievements and possibilities, from the modern point of view,
are receiving an additional illustration
in the case of the projected tunnel between the mainland of Italy and the island of Sicily, plans and details of
which, in model, as executed "by the
Italian civil engineer De Johannis,
have attracted much attention at the
University of Padua. After thorough
and careful studies of the strait of Messina, its varying depths, the nature of
the ground and of all other conditions
which might assist or interfere with
such an undertaking, De Johannis decided that the beginning of the tunnel
should he near San Giovanni di Sani-
tello, at the foot of the Aspromonte
mountain range, the mouth on the other side to be located on the degli Ingle-
si plain. The entire tunnel will be nearly two miles long and will consist in
the main of two shafts of about 10,000
feet each, descending at a grade not exceeding 32 feet in each 1,000. Such a
tunnel is thought preferable to a bridge
that would involve such a great span
and wind exposure.—Harper's Bound
Table.
Tbe Obliging "Bankrupt.
Good comradeship may count for
ranch. No man ever typified this better
than the Wall street broker who said
to his friend tho reporter: "I didn't
fail until after the evening papers went
to press, so that you could have it all to
yourself in the morning. Come around
in an hour or so, and I'll give you the
figures."—Writer.
