There is, unfortunately it must seem to every one who desires authoritative student control of the Society, temporarily a necessity for keeping artificially the number of members below the present maximum, and this might best be done probably by a slight increase in the cost of membership tickets. Such an increase would go to the clear profit of the Society; and strictly it seems no more than just if the incorporation brings all the financial improvements which are anticipated from it. But even the increase of less than a dollar, required immediately to reduce the membership by 988 would...

However, this scene is greatly obscured from the fact that the author condenses; his story throughout. The names of persons also show great divergence and are thus...
...meteoric displays were of extraordinary brilliance; in the fall of 1899 it was expected that a shower as extraordinary as in those two years would be visible, and although to unusual display appeared, astronomers look again this year for an exceptionally brilliant shower. Those marked display seem to occur after periods roughly averaging about thirty-three years. November 13 is the day believed the most likely date for the display this fall...
