...gratifying to see that the "push" and energy for which the inhabitants of the great northwest are famous is showing itself here in the younger generation by the formation of the Minnesota Club. At the present time there are only a few men here from that state, and it is always pleasant for students coming from the same section of country to be on more intimate terms with each other than a mere nodding acquaintance. The twin cities of Minnesota, St. Paul and Minneapolis, have grown enormously during the past few years and the young men are looking...

In a tug-of-war the tension on the rope is equal, and the question is, not who can pull the hardest on the rope, but who can push most vigorously on the cleats. The same results are produced by a great pressure for a short time and by a small pressure for a long time. This is the principle which enables dynamite bombs to be fired. If shot from a cannon the sudden shock explodes the bomb immediately...
