Difficulties of Wrecking the Pal

Work is going ahead very slowly on the
wreck of the Palestine. owing to the heavy
sea that has been running over the sunken
ship. The vessel lies in very bad place to
work, owing to the strong tides which
sweep out over the bar at the rate of six
and seven knots an hour. making it very
difficult for a diver to stay down.
Another serious difficulty the men have
to contend with is the tangled mass of rope
and wire rigging that is swinging about in

PERVERTED VISION.
Small Girl Who Reads Printed Matter
Upside Down Only.

"A oInall w no lAeaus ffIntGu Matter
Upside Down Only.
A very peculiar case of perverted vision
has been presented to DR.. L. w. Brickley,
an oculist of this city, writes a York (Pa.)
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press.
A little girl Of 10 years, the daughter of one
OF this city's most respected citizens, was
discovered by her school-teacher to be unable
TO read her reading exercise unless the book
was held upside down. The teacher, Miss
Busser, immediately communicated the fact
to her parents, and they became very much
worried.
The oculist was called in and an examina
ton made of the child's eyes. They were
FOUND to be entirely normal. The only con-
cluslon arrived at was that the strange freak
oil VISION was the result Of habit OF irving
to read with the book pages in an unnatural
position. habit contracted some years ago
when the child was first sent to school. At
this time the child in writing numbers unon
slate always made them upside down. and
as it was never observed or corrected she
gradually dTifted into the habit Of reading
the same way.
The only means Of cure possible is TO teach
the child everything over again, as though
she never knew anything before This will
be carefully done, and a cure of this really
phenomenal case is anxiously looked for in
the near future.
