Queer Story About Human Magnets

A remarkable story comes from tn:
Upper Yakima, in Washington State.
Two wears ago, Mr.. Peter Stromstadt
located on piece of lanl near wntS
is now known as Borax Springs, his
family consisting Of his wife en-; twH
children. a few days after his settle
lnent Mr.. Stromstadt discovered
spring close to the shack he hal cree
ted. tie water of which was strongly
improsnated with iron, but not I'M
palatable. MIR. Stromstadt dug out
anil deepened the spring, and since
July, 1898, the family have usel the
water for all domestic purposes.

from her hand. Her husband, hear
ing her scream, ran to her assistance,
when, to his surprise, he found that
be, too, experienced great difficulty
in detaching the particle OF iron With
which his hands came in contact.
Breakfast was finally prepared AID the
family sat down to the meal. The
children, two girls Of five and seven
wears, drank their milk from the tin
cups, and upon raising the cups to
their lips found themselves unable to
detach the cups from their mouths.
Mr.. Stromstalt, who is an intelligent
immigrant from Sweden, was non
plussed, and while unable to account
for the wonderful occurrences, never
theless laughed at his wife's excltei
declarations that the family were be-
vitched. Mr.. Stromsta1t hos written

small bed on which the children sleep
is upon roller casters, and that IN the
morning the bed is Invariably polnteI
