A FAILING MIND
Has Caused Portland Bookkeeper to Middle
His Firms Business.

Portland, Nov 3.-John B. Crisham,
who has been book keeper for A. +. Stevens
q Co. for % years, lately has been troubled
with pain in his head and has shown indi
cations of a failing mind.
1t is discovered now that the firms
affairs are in great confusion by reason OF
the failure of Crisham to deposit checks in
the bank, making short the bank account,
and the books are in such state that il
will be difficult to straighten them out.
There is no suspicion of Crisham's dis
honesty, and he has been sent to Martini
que for his health.

whom lies his wife and successor,
Catherine I. Catherine II lies near
the il1onostas. Opposite the tomb of
Peter 1. lies Nicholas l., with whom we
warred forty years ago. His brother
Constantines tomb is distinguished by
two great iron keys, with colored
ribbons attached, these being the keys
of the old Polish fortresses of Zamosc
and Modlin. Other of the sarcophagi
have pedals and medallions in morocco
cases lying upon them-Peter the
Greats has the golden centenary
medal of the foundation of this city,
1903, while on the tomb of Alexander l.
lies silver medal commemorating the
eventful year 1912, when la grand
ar1nee entered Russia seven hundred
thousand strong and left it scarcely q
tenth that number. There is an open
gilt ironwork railing round each tomb,
on the east end of which is fastened
plaque giving in Russian letters the
name of the great person who lies be-
low. Around the walls are trophies
of arms and shields, flags, fortress
keys, regimental standards showing
by their colors or devices that they
were taken from Turks and Persians,
Swedes and Poles, Circassians and
French. There is not one British flag.
and there are only two British boat
flags in all Russia. Altogether, if the
church is bizarre in its ensemble it has
much that may well detain a visitor
for hours, and while one cannot but
think it would be more impressive if
the windows were filed with stained
glass it must be confessed there is pic
toria1 color enough scattered about.
Twenty-nine of the golden-framed
ikons were painted by Russian artists
to the order of Catherine IL, and not
one of them but deserves little atten-
ton, which may also be properly
claimed by a marble Descent from
the Cross bought abroad by Peter the
Great, and real work of delicate and
sympathetic art which seems, however,
contrary to the spirit of the rule of
the oriental church that there shall be
no other sculptured image than the
crucifix. =

THE PERI ECT MAN.


!
Physical Doctor Studer has done a
great deal to improve the condition of
young and old men in this city, SAYS
the Detroit Tribune. His success is
based on his scientific ideas. He be-
lieves in the old maxim that you must
have a sound body to support a sound
mind He says that if you will bring
him boy at sixteen years CT age, and
will agree to leave the lad in his hands
for a period of four or five years, by
means of regular exercise, he can ac-
complish almost anything as far as
that boys body is concerned. He can
change his height, his weight and his
temperament; he can equip him with
force that will be fine and robust; he
will give the youth fund of strength
md energy that will fit him for with
standing any great and sudden mental
or nervous shock, such as comes to all
at one or another time in this life. AS
in incident OF his work he can rid his
patients of the blues, regulate their
livers and stir up sluggish blood. He
is the physician of arms, legs, lungs
and heart, following natures remedies,
sir, water, sunlight and sensible, con-
sistent exercise. When you decide that
you ought to look to your body and
you call on Mr.. Studer. he begins by
giving a physical examination. 1t is
'as searching and exact as science.
Nothing is left to chance. He jots
down twenty or thirty important items
which tell the story of your physical
life. Next he takes a small sheet Of
paper ingeniously arranged in parallel
and horizontal squares, and records
thereon in fine, straight strokes Of the
pen chart of your physical condition,
showing your relation to the normal
standard.
That normal standard is the very sub
stantial perfection of the imaginary
one-thousandth man. In other words
LOCO men, Of all ages and conditions III
life, were carefully measured, gen
eral average struck, ard the result is
made the basis of all the records of the
school. Never yet. on first measure
ments on entering the school, has sub
ject presented himself whose bodily
perfection CHANGED to score accurately
with those of the very perfect one
thousandth man. In one or two in
stances that record has been ap-
preached. but it yet remains to be du-
plicated. The measurements Of this APP
proximately perfect lone thousandth
man. will interest every lover of his
race. They are given as follows:

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
reports OF the chiefs OF the naval Bu-

Department, have been made to the

by the Government. The ground for
the recommendation is that the arbitrary
contract requirement was not made un-
der a provision OF law, but at the voli-
ton of the Secretary Of the Navy, and
that. therefore, the Secretary is not bound
to compel adherence TO the letter of the
contract, but may modify 1t as he
pleaseS.
In addition to this. II is urged that
