Perpetual motion device claims from Dr Gray of West Falls

A fragmentary Alma Record item describes Dr Wim Gray of West Falls Maryland asserting a 26 inch diameter wheel with gravity driven motion and brass bearings that has run for three months. It also mentions legal punishment debates, Sproule in British Columbia, a St Augustine celebration, Spaulding of Italio, and various oddities from weather to jokes.

Annual Meeting of Michigan Poor Directors in Jackson

The annual gathering of Michigan superintendents of the poor was held in Jackson with Mayor Bennett welcoming attendees. D. A. Greene outlined last year’s aid to about 44,000 people at an average cost of 14 dollars, and a committee was formed to draft resolutions on ex Governor Croswell’s death. Discussions covered prison reform, home industry for discharged prisoners, and state schooling for delinquent youths, with several officials and legislators named as participants. The report also details Agricultural College resources, land sales, and state board activities, including postal revenue comparisons and legislative committees.
