much anticipated new series of

exhibitions at the University Exhibit
Museum has been delayed until next week
due to an unforeseen problem with a
missing artifact. Dr. Robert Gladding,
Junior Curator at the museum, spoke to our
reporter yesterday. He confirmed that at
least one of the new artifacts, on loan from
the Boston Heritage Center, has
disappeared.
At first it was suspected that the artifact

had been misplaced, but on examination of
the entire consignment from Boston the
Police were notified. Gladding said,
Although theft is unlikely, as the artifact
in question has little value, we cannot rule
it out at this time. The investigations
continue and now work is underway to
change the exhibit in order to compensate
for the missing items.

LP it must not happen again! CS
Concerned citizens of Arkham addressed

the bi-monthly town meeting last night and
chief amongst the concerns was the
increasing numbers of strange, foreign
people slipping ashore via the docks late at
night. It is as yet unclear from where these
people come from but the regularity of this,
so called, human smuggling has prompted
the city to launch a civil investigation into
the matter with the dock authority
responsible for the matter.

TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
Frankly I am appalled that the police have
failed once again to take prompt action to
stop illicit activities from occurring on the
Unvisited Isle. It is clear to all who live
within sight of the cursed Island that there
are miscreants, no doubt devil worshippers
or some such, conducting ceremonies
there. Fires have been seen from the
Garrison Street Bridge. Reports to the
police have fallen onto deaf ears with the
response that there is not enough evidence
for an investigation. It is about time the
APD started to take our childrens safety as
a priority!
Concerned of Arkham.
Dear Sir,
It is clear that adult education should not be
taken as lightly as the rather trite article
that appeared in Tuesdays edition of the
Advertiser. Many adult residents of
Arkham have benefitted from the
application to life long learner as advocated
by our centre, and to suggest that it was
nothing more than a club for housewives is
both ill-informed and disrespectful.
