A REMARKABLE EXHIBITION.
A Young Girls Wonderful Memory and Skill
in Describing Unseen Articles.

Mile. Eta, under the management of Madam
Lee, favored the Journal staff With a special ex-
hibition of her abilities as an expert in mnemon-
les, or the faculty of memory applied as a
science. Disclaiming anything like mind-read-
ing or clairvoyance, the young lady-for she is
about fifteen years of age-at once proceeded to
show what she could do in the way of describing
articles which she could not possibly see. Sit
ting at a distance, and with her back turned to
the operator and to those present, she readily
named and described in detail whatever
might be touched or pointed at by
Madam Lee. Repeated efforts were
made to puzzle Miss Eta by producing articles
not likely to be imagined by her, but in every
instance, with little or no hesitation, she cor
rectly named and described them to the salts
faction and astonishment of her audience. A
whalebone toothpick was presented, and this, for
a moment, seemed to puzzle her, but she soon
named it. When asked the time Of day by any
body's watch, she replied almost instantly, CIV
ing it correctly even to seconds. But perhaps
the best test made was on propernalnes. Madam
Lee would pick up a book and demand the
authors name, only to be answered promptly
and correctly. Taking up a hat. Madam Lee
asked for the initials of the maker. "W. d.

During the twenty minutes that the test was
made Mile. Eta must have answered two hun
dred questions, and in no instance did she fail.
Writing out a sum containing fifteen disits, and
with an unusual fraction at the end, she unhesi-
tatingly gave them all without error of any kind.
Madam Lee says Mile. Ettas accom-
plishments are simply the result of
systematic training, and that by a GER

of the supernatural, and even as it is, it is a
marvellous exhibition of a well-trained memory.

certainly be gifted above most people in her
ability to memorize so many things. Bright,
and pretty, and modest, she can but win friends

NECESSARY TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
The Local Board Issues Certain Orders To
Be Strictly 0beyed.

TIL City Health Board yesterday issued the
following order:
To the Public:
good sanitary condition, in order to insure the health
of our people IN protecting them against epidemic
diseases, the board, on July 5, issued the following
order:
With the limited sanitary force at our command,
we have been enforcing the same. yet so large is the
area under the jurisdiction of our two outside sanitary
officers that it is almost impossible to completely carry
it out. We, therefore, respectfully request all the
owners and residents of property within our city to
assist in placing our city in a good sanitary condition.
A few minutes work upon the part of each
pgroperty,holder or occupant in removing
the ofal from their yards, and in cutting the weeds in
the front and rear of their premises, and in removing
distractions from the cutters, would place our city in
a better sanitary condition. Where non-residents or
the owners or occupants of property fail or refuse to
comply with the above order, we will be under obiga-
tons TO persons who will report the same to the health
officers, with the number of the premises and the
name OF the owner, agent or occupant, and an order
Will be Immediately served upon them. The especial
attention of hotels and boarding-house keepers, resi-
dents and owners of tenement blocks. manufacturers.
hvery-stables, saloon and restaurant keepers, butchers,
produce-dealers and merchants is called to the above,
and the sanitary officers are ordered tie enforce the re.
quirements alluded to.
There is no cause for alarm or especial uneasiness
on account Of cholera; yet it is the duty of every citi-
zen to take reasonable precautions against any posi-
Bile spread of the disease should it be introduced, and
If cholera does not visit us, the efforts to place our
city IN a perfect sanitary condition will result in pre-
venting other maladies which destroy life. And our
city is in comparatively an excellent sanitary condi-
ton. Our death rate for the last three months has
been the lowest the city has any record of during the
same season of the year. Yet there is room for i'm
proyement, and we earnestly hope that all persons
will appreciate the Importance of this work and the
demands of prudence and experience.
