A Hindoo named Bava Luchman Dass
1s attracting the interested attention Of
the London medical profession. Mr..
Dass is Yogi, and if all Yogis are lilo
Mr.. Dass the ordinary treatises ON an
atomy must be subjected to revision. He
was exhibited to the Students Anatom.
zeal society Of st. Georges hospital and
introduced by the lecturer as IAN unu-
sually complicated specimen of the In
dian Yogi-a Brahman, namely, Of a
very high caste-who goes through GER
tain religious exercises with a view of
Qualifying himself better for paradise. &"
These religious exercises seem to take q
physical form, and Mr.. Dass, little,
dark gentleman, sat upon the table and
proceeded to exhibit selection from the
"a abnormal positions which he has nut
IN 40 solid years in learning.
He seemed to have igaments Of the
gutta percha persuasion, while his
joints evidently work on all bearings.
He formed his legs into q cravat and
tied them about his neck. He horned
about on one hand and strolled about
ia'.ntily On his knees, a position which
IS said to greatly assist thought, though
the thoughts Of a white man in such a
position would hardly be fit for publica-
ticn. He folded his legs tightly around
his body and stood thoughtfully on his
finger tips for several minutes, in which
posture he declared he was able to re-
main for seven days. However, as the
medical students did not wish to carry
out this particular experiment to its bit
ter end, Mr.. Dass proceeded to tie him
self up in knot and to go to sleep on
one leg like q fiamingo. Then sitting
down suddenly he brought the soles Of
his feet together, his knees being at such
an acute angle that nothing short of
complete dislocation could have made
the performance possible. The lecturer
endeavored to follow his movements on
an extremely suggestive looking skeleton
which be had by his side and finally
came to the conclusion that Mr.. Dass
had no ligaments at all.-London

Decided To Rebuild.

At the meeting OF the German Aid soci-
ETY. held last evening it was decided to re-
build the stand and other buildings de-
stroyed few nights ago and arrange
ments were made to have the work CON-
menced at once. 1t is estimated that the
stands will cost at least $500. A new
kitchen, larger and more convenient than
the old one, will be built, and new dan
cling pavilion will also be erected on the
opposite side OF the picnic grounds.
The society intends to have the new kit
chen and dancing payilione rected by the
Goth, in time for their annual picnic.
Preparations for the celebration on that
date are now about complete. The Fifth
Infantry band has been engaged and a
big parade will take place in the morning
followed by the festivities at the picnic
grounds in the afternoon and evening.
The German Aid society's picnic is al
ways looked upon as one OF the most en-
joyable events OF the season and extra
efforts are being made TO have this picnic
eclipse all others.

On the Lake In the storm.

A party OF Lake Linden young men
consisting OF Charles Fredericks, Charles
Mcintyre, John Cameron and +. s. Blair
had quite an experience on Torch Lake
last night during the storm. They we're
out in Neil ellis yacht when the storm
came up. They Immediately put for the
stamp mill dock. but in attempting to
land they stopped the engine and were
unable to get ashore. Before the engine
could be started again the wind carried
the boat out into the middle OF the lake.
The rudder was lost in the storm and
the boat driited helplessly Tor an hour or
30 and finally struck the logs at the saw
mill where they were glad to leave the
boat and walk home around the lake.
The boat was pretty well filled with
water and. the party, was also badly
soaked before they got ashore. -, = - 80

4 NIGHT WITH THE SPIRITS.
J. Randall Brow n. the Adeptin Occult
science. at the opera House.

Sunday evening at the Opera House the
mystery-loyiDg people Of this section will
have an opportunity 10 see and inyesti-
gate the remarkable powers oil j. Randall
Brown, the greatest exponent OF physcho-
| logical and spiritualstic phenamena in
the world today. IL will be remembered
that Mr.. Brown came before the public
some twenty-five years ago, and created
the most profound sensation through the
exhibition OF the wonderful powers OF in
tuitive perception or telepathy. He has
since appeared before the faculties Of
nearly every scientific institution in this
country and has Travelled all over the
world, and, indeed has just returned from
a trip abroad, where he was summoned
before many OF the crowned heads OF
Europe.
Mr.. Browns seance is OF a refined and
intellectual character and appeals TO the
elite. His audiences are invariably CON-
posed OF the best class OF people, and his
extraordinary work is looked upon With
the greatest interest.
The spirituallstic part OF his demon
stations is quite out OF the ordinary line
and devoid of the usual rope tying leafs
and other stale manifestations. Mes
sages from the dead, table lifting and
orher startling phenomena will be includ-
ed in the program.
Mr.. Browns assistant, Lille May
Brown, is remarkably handsome and
fascinating little lady, vhose strange and
inexplicabie powers as a materializiug
medium have excited the admiration OF
all beholders.
Professor Brown will give some delicate
tests both in the mental and the spiritual
istIc line. de will no doubt draw very
large audience, and those who attend
may do so with the assurance that they
will see something OF an exceedingly in
teresting character.

Alter remaining in session since Mon
day the national convention OF the Sla

headquarters. The Pennsy lyanIa dis
trict was also represented at the conyen-
ton and there were also delegates from

pices OF st. Peters society OF this city,
It was one OF the most successful
national conventions ever held and the
visiting delegates went away more than
pleased with their visit 10 the copper
country and the treatment they received
at the hands OF their local brethren.
The Slavanic Union il composed OF

the Austria Hungarian Empire known as
Slayia. The society is the ymost poN,e
full one among the Slayanic people in

which have large memberships and are
distributed over different parts OF the
country. The different societies are
bound together by the union, in which
each society is entitled TO delegates ae-
cording 20 its membership.
The union has meeting once year
when all matters of business importance
are brought up. The most important
question brought up at the meeting just

OF that State the society must have a
membership OF over SOD IN the State TO
