Jake Struble, of the mechanical engineering
department of the class of ’B9, has made the
drawings of a wind-engine, and is going to
construct the engine, which is of his own de
sign. The drawings show thoughtfulness and
care in design. The governor is the distinc
tive feature of this engine. It is constructed
on an entirely new plan, and may become
quite largely used in the construction of wind
engines, as this is the sticking point with all
builders We await with interest the comple
tion of the wheel.

Have you seen the double-sided, barrel
shaped, spy-glass, suspended by a black tape

Recognizing the growing necessities of this
Institution, we, the undersigned, this day make
known to the public the organization of the
corporation known as 11 Bouncing Shakers,’’
The object of this organization is, to give oppor
tunity to any student to be awakened at any
hour he may designate. The main office is 594,
to which all orders may be sent by mail, tele
phone, or telegraph, where they will receive
prompt attention. The Superintendent’s office
is 590. He will have charge of the working
force. The rates will be reasonable, con
sidering the work done. A gentle tap on the
door and told to get up, five cents; if door is
left unlocked and the party wishes a gentle
shake, fifteen cents will pay for the privilege;
but to an old inveterate, who will require the
services of the Superintendent, two men and a
club, charges will be made according to the
risk run. In sending in time at which it is
desired to be awakened, please state time you
are in the habit of rising, that we may form an
intelligent idea about how many men will be
required. We think a trial will convince you
that this organization fills a long-felt want.
