MYSTERlES!
The Nervous System the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries,

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con.
troll OF the nerve centerS. located In or near
the base OF the brain. and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When It Is re-
membered that Il serious Injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point. because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching tho
paralyzed portion. it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thirds OF chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action OF the nerve centers at
the base Of the hrain,- not frena a deranse-
ment primarily originating in the organ it.
self. The great mistake of physicians I'm
treating these diseases Is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are this cause OF the trouble.

cialist. has profoundly studied this subject for
over 70 years. and has made many important
discoveries in connection with il. chief among
them being the facts contained in the above

told of a yacht that sailed into that harbor
80 years ago, driven in by a storm. On
board was DR.. George Barton Ide, of
Springfield, Mass, an eminent and elo-
quent divine. long.since gone to his reward.
A large fleet of fishermen had come in be-
fore the storm and.o Sunday the next day,
the crews were lounging about the shore.
DR.. Ideson his way to the church, exclaimed
in his heart way Come on boys, let's all
go to cuhrch." One of the rough fellows
stared at the stranger in his yachting suit
and exclaimed 1--WE will, if you'll preach"
1t SO happened that the pastor of the
church knew DR.. Ide and. as he appeared
in the door, came hurriedly down the isle
to meet him exclafning ''you must come up
and preach The DR.. protested that he
wasn't properly dressed .or prepared,
but it was mouse; he must preach. The
news reached the fishermen and thoy filled
that church-as it was never before filed by
them.
Though taken by SUR rise DR.. Ide
preached a sermon that no one sof them
ever forgot. He took for his text Cast

made striking analogy between the right
and wrong sides of fishing and of lite. One
OF the last things he ail WAS that if they
threw their net on the wrong side of the
boat they would probably catch the Devil.
Anchored in the little harbor between the
great rock Manana and the rocky shore
and fish houses and few homes of Monhe-
gan, the Neckan was something of uon-
trast to the fleet of fishing boats and
dories and the two small lobster stea mers.
The party were rowed ashore and landed
on the beach. DR.. Burrage who is very
familiar with the island, took Charge of the

faint white cloud that is sometimes visible,
yet still holding to his theory that Mt.
Washington was Weymouth's landmark.
1t was with much satisfaction, therefore,
that Friday, after they had mounted the
lighthouse. they heard Mr.. Baxter exclaim.'

And finally everybody saw it, the faintest
white spot imaginable, that appeared and
reappeared as the retina struggled to re-
tain an impression of it. Through the glass,
it was plainly the royal peak of New Hamp-
shire
And that was Weymouth's invitation to
a harbor, while he ignored the Camden hills
rising from the waters edge!
There is one street in the little fishing
hamlet on Monhegan. 1t is worn smooth by
feet, not roughened by hoofs, for there isn't
a horse on the island, which is II miles out
to sea.
There is pair of oxen and one OK cart,
but all supplies have to be carried up the
rough, rocky path to the lighthouse by men.
Almost 1870 people live on the island. The
men are now getting their lobster traps
ready for the winters fishing. They set
their traps the last of November and take
them out in the spring. On pleasant day
as many as 5000 II APPS have gone into the
water together. Most of the island is owned
collectively by the Sterling, Trefethen and
Studley heirs. 1t cannot be sold unless all
consent and that hasn't happened in the
past century and may not in the next.
However it is destined to be a favorite
watering place. Already there are a good
many summer visitors and comfortable
boarding houses.
The Neckan sailed around the island and
uader the great cliffs, on the outer side that
make White Head seem small and that rise
over 15O feet above the water. And vet in
a winters storm the spray dashes over
them.
The voyage home was rougher than the
mornlng sail. but the Neckan, narrow and
high as she is, with only seven feet draught
made nothing OF the big white-capped roll
lers. She steamed up Middle Bay to Mare
Point and landed Mr.. Hartley Baxter, who
had TO 90 to Brunswick and then proceed-
nm the harbor in the evening arriving
at the Yacht Club wharf at GAO o'clock.
That trip to Monhegan will never be for
gotten by those who 50 much enjoyed it.

In his narrative it is stated that Weymouth
when he visited the coast in 1904, was in the
close vicinity of Monhegan and from there
saw high mountains on the main land to-
ward which the ship sailed and found and
entered the mouth of river. It has been
held by some historians, first by James Nc
Keen the first president of Bowdoin Col
lege and now by Hon Rufus K. Sewall, Of
Wisconsin and DR.. DeCoster, an Episcopal
clergyman of New York, that the mountains
Weymouth saw were the White Mountains
and consequently the river he entered was
the Kennebec, which would be in that di-
rection. Dr. Burrage went to Monhegan to
see for himself. He was there week and
saw Mt. Washington but once. 1t was such
a clear day that the men on top of the
mountain announced that they could see
vessels off Portland harbor, yet DR.. Bur-
rage from the top of the lighthouse, on Mon
hogan, 17S feet above the ocean could see
nothing of the mountain. He had started
away when Capt. Stanley. keeper of the
light, told him that the mountain could be
seen. The DR.. went Lack, scanned the hori-
zon, but could see nothing. It was not IN
ill Capt. Stanley pointed it out to him that
he discerned faint white cloud just pro-
jecting above the horizon.
And that was the landmark that Vey-
mouth saw from his ship three miles nearer
the mainland than the island and towards
which he sailed! On an unusually clear
day that faint Write cloud might perhaps
be seen from the water, by one who knew
about it and where to look, but from the
lighthouse it is only visible on exception
ally clear days. Capt. Stanley for six
months kept record for DR.. Burrage
and during that time was able to
Mt. Washington but Is times.
The Camden hills rising boldly close at
hand, were the mountains those early voy-
ayers saw, if their eyes could see at all, and
the Georges river must have been that
up which they sailed. Of course it is of no
Importance whether Weymouth explored
the Kennebec or the Georges river. The
interest of this is that there are still men
who can hold to the former theory.
Some years ago DR.. DeCoster came on
from New York and stopped a week on Nor
hogan on purpose to prove his theory.
Day after day he gazed from the light
house, but no grand mountain peaks greeted
his vision, though it was pleasant weather.
He went away without even seeing the
