THURSDAY evening Professor Trowbridge delivered the fifth of the Natural History lectures at the Theatre on "Unseen Motion." The audience was the largest thus far, and the experiments were very interesting. We hope that the Natural History Society will give us another course next year...

By this means it is hoped that...
