...first number was somewhat marred by unevenness and restlessness but upon the whole, was a very faithful rendition of the favorite overture. The trumpet-call in the distance would have been more effective had the instrument been tuned to the same pitch taken by the orchestra. The same unsteadiness was also noticeable in the second number. This defect, it is true, prevails in most of the very good orchestras, but seldom to such a degree as in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Notwithstanding the lack of precision of some of the performers, the second number was well given and deserved more...
...some of the long tubular ones, and being restrained by a kind of a trap till their work is finished. Bees and balancing flies are fond of tubular flowers. Moths fertilize Orchids, carrying pollen balls clinging to their tongue or eyes. Humming-birds attack long necked flowers like the Trumpet Vine. Flowers allure these animal friends by colors and odors, and guide them by a beaten path to their goal; they discourage intruders by ingenious safeguards...

From Thayer and Matthews and Hollis and Weld and Stoughton and Holworthy and Grays, rushed the frightened students. They stopped not to admire the classic features of the gleaming angel, but on they sped...
...event of such a case then, arrived at the fire, the fore girl will shout, as loudly as is consistent with propriety, through her speaking trumpet, and the firegirls, after putting on their rubbers and waterproofs, will connect the water pipe-for it would be hardly delicate to refer to it in public as "hose"-and turn on the water. Armed with large tack hammers, the firegirls will break open doors and windows and place step ladders against the wall of the burning building to assist the inmates to escape. That the firegirls should actually ascend the step ladders...
