Visitors ride a limited capacity elevator to the top of the Washington Monument for panoramic views of the city and Potomac. The shaft rises about 555 feet 618 inches high with weekday schedules from 9 00 am to 2 00 pm. Sunday crowds fill seats and form long queues near the Lincoln Memorial.
Dr J H Jeans of the Royal Astronomical Society in London champions a bold idea that stars near the sun may harbor life. He argues the sun’s heat does not reach Earth fully and that other planets could support life in nearby space.
Visitors learn the monument houses 184 memorial stones donated by States, organizations, and individuals. It cost 1.3 million dollars and opened to the public on October 9, 1888. If scaled, it would weigh about 81120 tons and ranks as the third tallest enclosed building after the Woolworth Tower and the Singer Building.
Interior Department offers fifty three buffalo from Yellowstone National Park to the public at no charge, aiming to coat and prepare them for shipment. An additional twenty six animals are noted for distribution pending readiness.
Most of the Buffaloes have been given to individuals and private preserves, with twenty sent to cities for zoological parks. The Yellowstone herd decreased from 730 to 661, a drop equal to three quarters of the year’s calf births. A film company took sixteen for a Western, while many other proposals failed government approval. A boy wrote about building a backyard pen.
A suggested remedy uses two Bayer Tablets of Aspirin dissolved in four tablespoonfuls of water as a gargle for tonsillitis. The ad promises harmless relief and advises repeating in two hours if needed. It cautions to use genuine Bayer tablets marked with the Bayer Cross and notes a twelve-tablet tin sold for a small price.
A request to send the buffaloes was made promptly but could not be granted, leaving the matter unresolved.
