of one who is destined for the army.
AS an officer of the Dusseldorf Hus

enant before he passed into the re.
serve three years ago. He had not
up to that time entertained the pecu-
liar views to which he now adberes
with SO much fervor, but has been
gradually coming to them since that
time. A tour of five months in Egypt
did much to change his ideas of liv-
ing. He there fell into the practice
of eating almost nothing but bananas,
not because the cooking in the
hotels was not good, and not from
any theory on the subject of diet.
"I took to them instinctively," said
the lieutenant. "I am convinced that
no cook can improve on nature. L
attention had been called to it by the

A day or two ago the ADVERTISER
drew attention to the arrival by the
Australia of German by the name of
Boeter, who lives like the birds on
fruit, taking no further thought for
the morrow what he shall eat,and not
drinking anything at all.
An ADVERTISER reporter called on
Mr.. Boeter yesterday and found him
enjoying the shade of a cool veranda
at the house of Mr.. Fetter on Young
street, with whom he is lodging.
Near him was pile of young and
promising looking cocoanuts, which
were to serve as the staple of the ap-
preaching MONDAY meal. Mr.. Boeter
is a well proportioned man of medium
height, clear, fair complexion and
blue eyes, and the expression which
distinguishes the face of the sensitive
enthusiast. He wears a moustache
and beard, with rather long hair
pushed back from the forehead. The
picture presented below shows him as
dashing young German cavalry
officer, who thinks more of running
his horses on the race track than of
working a revolution in the habits
and occupations of mankind.
Mr.. Boeter received the ADyER-
TIsER man with great courtesy, and
expressed a willingness to talk,
though he was modestly inclined to
keep his own individuality in the
background. He does not resent the
propensity to jest at his opinions and
