R. w. Davis, charged with
having opium in possession, was
on trial in the Circuit Court near
ly all of yesterday.
Davis is the bumboat man who
with one or two others were ar
rested when leaving the Olympia

tried in the District Court and con-
victed. Judge Perry sentenced
him to a fine of $3.50 but the deci-
sion was appealed from and ex-
Judge Magoon defended him yes
terday.
Judge Carriers charge to the jury
was fair and impartial and the
Jury in a very few minutes re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.

IN THE BEGINNING

Of the new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posture threatens sickness. 1t is then,
as we'll as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: That Hoods Sarsaparilla
leads everything in the way of medi-
cines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world, and requires the
largest building in the world devoted
exclusively to the preparation OF the
proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove, if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine fol-
you to take?

X RAYS FOR THE BLIND.
An Experiment Made by Edison Will
Remarkable Results.

An Experiment Made by Edison With
Remarkable Results.
A young girl was taken to Edison's la
boratory, in Orange, N. j., to have her
head examined by the x rays for the pur-
pose Of locating a cranial lesion which, it
was believed. had pressed upon the optic
nerve and rendered her blind. No lesion
was found, and the rays were then turned
directly upon the subjects eyes, when she
declared she saw light.
She was able to tell the different shapes
of objects before her eyes while suffused
with the x rays, and described them ac-
curately. In the case Of a disc Of brass
she even was able to tell the color, saying
that 1t was yellow. The experiment was
considered a great success.
Speaking about experiments in ST. Louis
and San Francisco, Mr.. Edison said that all
the accounts that he had seen spoke of the
sight being restored temporarily to the pa
tients by means Of the horoscope. This.
he said. was an impossibility as the fluor-
oscope stopped the x rays entirely.
He said he was experimenting on himself.
closing his eyes and being blindfolded. In
this way he could arrive at more accurate
results, for the reason that he knew abso-
lutely the conditions prevailing, and would
not be deceived by an appearance such as
might be the case with a blind man. He is
having special apparatus made that will
still further develop this side Of the oues-
tion.
