vey is to extend from the entrance OF the
harbor TO the mouth of the Cheha)lis
river and up the river to Montesano, a
distance OF about fifteen miles. The sur
vey is to ascertain the cost Of removing
oh .tructuns 10 such an extent rs to adj

A MAGNETIC YOUTH.
Young Louis Hamburger's Ability to Make
Things Stick to His Hands.

IhlngS Suck to HIS HANDS.
Louis. the sixteen-year-old son of
Philip Hamburger, is possessed of a
mysterious power which is pulling
scientific men. This power enables him
to make objects of considerable weight
adhere to his finger-tips, contact only
being necessary. The young man, who
is quite small, has been studying chem
istry some time at the Maryland College
of Pharmacy, and has shown his par
ents and friends some astonishing feats
and bits of magic. BY merely pressing
his tully-distended fingers against a
heavy cane, he holds it suspended in
air for a long time. He is also able,
by placing the balls of three fingers
against the side of glass tube, to raise
the weight of five pounds attached there
to, lie says he has always remarked a
peculiar feeling when touching small
objects which are wet or greasy, and in
order to get the best results in his ex-
perimentS he must have both the hands
and objects dry and very clean. For this
purpose he always washed his fingers in
alcohol and ether and wipes them and
the objects dry.
In the presence of friends he gave an
exhibition Of his powers. The first ex-
pertinent was to place a number of pins
around the palm Of his hands and on
the tips of his fingers. On holding the
palms vertically the pins are found to
drop only after a long time. He next
showed his ability to pick up from the
table by pressing his dry finger tips
against it any highly-polished, smooth
body, such as pencil or pen. Much
more striking, however, was the manner
IN which pen held perpendicularly
stuck to the ends of his fingers.
Both hands have the same remarks
Die power though the right one does
the better work, The tips of the fin
gers which are more than usually
heShy, are capable of the greatest feats.
lie touched his fingers against rlass
tube three-quarters of an an inch in di
ameter' and they stuck with such force
that, as he pulled them away from if
one after another, there was click
Inc end of the tube thus raised was
frelghted with plaster of paris block
ana on TINS were gradually piled leaden
welghts until five and one-half pounds
were reached. This he was able 10
raise with the open palms.
Inc young man loses control of his
secret force when the objects become
damp by perspiration or otherwise and
can only show its action on very smooth
