LIETLE } BABY |l!I eARRSlsIa
Known In San Francisco as the
Human Phonograph.


Baby Ethel Carroll. OF Oakland, Cal,
10 - human rhonograph. Every word
sof q ccnversntion-no matter how long
names. dates. figures and bits Of ora
tory Of all degrees OF merit, songs and
jokes spoken il her presence, seem to
register themselves indelibly upon her
brain, and by virtue OF her remarkable
memory she is able to recall them, word
for word, even though 1t be weeks and
months after. at her age--for she Is
only four years old-much that she
hears 10 doubt Is quite nninteliigible
to her Ms are the words Of a phonograph
to q wild beast. She simply repeats
everything from memory, without
knowing aught Of the text OF her words.
Al the Hotel Crellin. says the San Franz
cisco Examiner. where she lives with
her parents. she Is the idol and wonder
Of all who know her. for she is as pretty
as she is clever. The first time that the
child showed her phenomenal trait was
at the age of II months. Atthat time
she was taken to see one Of Hoyt's plays
at The MaciCnough theater. Upon re-
turning to her home she surprised every
one by repeating word for word one Of
the popular songs. From that time un-
tilsnow little Ethel has been regular
piaygoer.
Now. ut the nge Of four, her memory
has developed 80 remarkably that 1t is
"a common thing for her. after seeing
new play, to sing, without q single mis-
take or the least sign Of hesitation. song
after song. that she has never heard be-
fore. She can also repeat the lines OF
the play with wonderful correctness.
The child has q resentive memory for
names and dates. In spite of the fact
that large numbers of people see her
daily, drawn by curiosity, she never
fcrgets the name of anyone who is in
trpduced to her. and cnn tell even Tie
exact day when she first met them,
Enough it may I've months after.
dt is strange indeed to hear Ethel talk
about questions Of public interest that
have been discussed within her hearing.

.
Several mon tbs ago, while the Durrant
lcase sgils the one absorbing topic soi
public Interest, tiny Miss Ethel heard
her mother read several OF the lengthy
newspaper reports. Since then the sub
ject has not been mentioned until one
day last week, when, for the purpose of
testing her memory, the mstter was re-
called. She atonce wentoyer the entire
subject, using language almost identical
with that of the newspaper articles.
Her answers to questions often took the
form OF q quotation Of entire sentences,
and these she repeated perfectly after
the lapse Of so many months without
perhaps. understanding their meaning.
Recently her wonderful memory was
put TO 9 severe testat a concert recital
In Oakland. After the performance she
was asked 4 she q pbsrs { .. 9 CERTAIN

BILE alike for its length and peculiar
phrasing. She had never heard It be-
fore, but with confident smile and
certain enchanting carelessness of man
ner, she recited the entire piece without
single break.
It will be interesting to note as this
child grows cider whether her memory
broadens with age, or whether. as in
the case of the famous Italian boy
mathematician, 1t lapses altogether and
leaves her more stupid than the yeriest
infant.
