IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY LABELS ON IT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

>> Cathy: SO I'M BY THE BIG MONITOR, MUST BE TIME TO REMIND YOU OF LAST WEEK'S HISTORY QUESTION, PLAY SOME WRONG ANSWERS, RIGHT ANSWER.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY TONIGHT.

WE DID RECEIVE A HANDFUL OF WRONG ANSWERS, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF HALF RIGHT ANSWERS.

BUT WE WANT YOU TO GET THE FULL DEAL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU THE QUESTION AGAIN.

HERE IS 1923.

IT'S SPRINGTIME IN St. PAUL.

THERE'S A NICE MAP OF THE TWIN CITIES FROM THAT ERA.

A BIG CEREMONY TAKES PLACE IN AN INTERSECTION NEAR THE OLD FEDERAL COURTHOUSE BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN St. PAUL.

AN IMPORTANT St. PAUL FIGURE DOES SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A NEWLY INSTALLED TALL STRUCTURE THAT WILL BECOME UBIQUITOUS AS TIME MARCHES ON.

WE WANT TO KNOW WHO PERFORMED THIS HISTORIC FIRST.

A COUPLE OF YOU ALLED TO TELL US WHAT THIS PERSON DID BUT NOT WHO HE IS.

MAYBE MITCHELL, THE POET, IS WATCHING TONIGHT AND CAN HELP US OUT WITH THE NAME OF THE St. PAUL PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIAL WHO FLIPPED THE SWITCH THAT DAY.

651-229-1500 IS THE NUMBER TO CALL WITH ALL OF YOUR CLEVER ANSWERS, RIGHT OR WRONG.

651-229-1500 -- 651-229-1430 IS THAT NUMBER ONCE AGAIN.

YOU CAN ALWAYS DROP US A NOTE INSTEAD.

YOU CAN FIND THE ELECTRONIC IN BOX AT ALMANAC@TPT.ORG.

WHERE'S THE CLOCK?

JUST ENOUGH TIME LEFT FOR OME MUSIC FROM THE ARCHIVES.

15 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK, SPEAKING IN TONGUES JOINED US HERE IN STUDIO B.

TAKE A LISTEN TO THE QUARTET OF PERCUSSIONISTS.

WE'LL SEE YOU BACK HERE NEXT WEEK.
