Which Surprise Her Friends.

says the spirits control her. They make
her do many things which in her normal
moments she modestly disclaims any
ability to perform. She has never pos
sessed much of voice, but of late she
has been able to sing in u melodious so
prano voice in a manner to charm all
her friends and relatives. Though ig-
norant of any language but English it
is claimed that by the aid of "the spirits"
she has spoken French, Spanish and
German.
She sang to party of friends under
the direction of "spirits" and those who
heard her say her tones were not those
usual to her.

GREAT WATER WHEEL.
California City's New Electric Light
and Power Plant.
The Source OF supply Is Distant Forty
Miles from Fresno Where the Power
Is to BE Utilized-Descrip-
tion of the System.

Fresno, Cal, is about to celebrate the
completion of an electric light and
power plant which is the result of
years of planning and year of active
work.
"The streets of the "Raisin City"will
have lamps of 1000 candle power each
in all directions, burning from dusk till
dawn every night in the year. 1t will
be the best lighted city in the state and
the cheapest service. Nearly every
steam engine in the city will be replaced
as soon as the machinery can be put
in, and arrangements are already under
way to apply electricity to cooking and
heating. And all this comes from a
water power more than 30 miles away.
On account of the great elevation of
the water and the pressure obtainable,
it is possible to operate the plant with
q stream which at first seems insignifi-
can't. The source of supply, says the
Chicago Record, is among the noun
tains of MADEIRA county, 40 miles from
Fresno, in an air line, but more than
so by the road. The north fork of the
San IDS us
sources among mountains from 5000
to $4,000 feet high. The streams flow
through rocky channels till they unite
and form the north fork. At an eleva-
ton of $500 feet the water is taken
from the channel by a canal, which for
some distance is cut in solid rock along
the mountain side, and at other places
is carried by fumes till it reaches a re-
gion less rugged. From there it con-
tinues several miles to the summit of a
mountain which juts out as bold
promontory over the main San joaquin
river more than 1,4O0 feet away.
The reservoir on the summit of the
mountain covers eight acres, and water
in it is ten feet deep. It's capacity can
be greatly increased if occasion re-
quires it. AS it is now it contains suf-
ficient water to drive the machinery of
the present installation 80 days. Should
the reservoir embankment give way
