Who Seeks a Divorce.
Mrs. Myrtle B. Frank was granted a d.
vorce in the Circuit Court yesterday. She
said she had married Frank in 1896 when
but sixteen years old, and that she was
forced by him to go on the vaudeville
stage. She said her husband secured en-
ployment in a drug store when they were
first married, but that he soon afterward
signed a contract with a vaudeville COM
pany for both of them to do a song and
dance turn. Later, she says, Frank took
up the study of kypnotism and forced her
to be his subject. She alleges that he put
her through such trial as dislocating her
arms, making 1t appear that her neck was
dislocated and sticking pins and needles
into her arms and hands. She said this
caused her intense pain. but that she dared
not cry out for fear of being beaten. Then
he began practicing putting her to sleep for
twenty-four hours at a time for the pur-
pose OF burying her alive and 1t was then
that she summoned up courage to leave
him and come home. She has not since seen
her husband

PRATT MAY GO
BACK ON RIO
Leper Who Came From
Frisco Agrees To
Return.

When the steamship Rio de Janeiro
had moored to the Pacific Mail wharf
last night, the ships doctor and the
agent of the vessel discussed the mat
ter of sending back to San Francisco,
as a passenger on the Rio, George
Pratt, the leper, who arrived here the
other day on the China.
The doctor went UP town concerning
the matter and IL was understood that
| II room could be made for Pratt on the
Rio he would go on the boat. He would
have to be isolated and would neces-
sarily occupy much more room than
an ordinary passenger.
Up TO a late hour last night il had
not been decided whether the lepei
would be taken on the Rio or not.
IL is understood that the Pacific Mai
Steamship Company will be fully re
munerated for Pratt's passage, and
that Pratt had agreed to go of his Owl
volition.

TREES AND LIGHTNING.
The Oak Is Said to Furnish a Favor"
able Target for the Discharge
of Electric Fluid.

The person who in storm seeks
refuge under tree should beware
of the oak. 1t is dangerous shelter.
Its stout heart furnishes a tavorlte
target for the thunder bolt.
The German government has been
making systematic inquiry into the SUBJ
iect of lightning-struck trees. Over
seers of nine forestry stations, scat
tered throughout an area OF 25o,ooo
acres in the district of Lippe, have
made thorough investigation OF the
forests in that locality.
They report that the oak is the most
susceptible to lightning. The beach
is the most seldom struck, and next in
exemption comes the pine. In that To-
cality the forests are composed OF trees
in the following proportion: Beach,
10 per cent; oak, II per cent; pine' ID
per cent; fir, per cent.
There have been 275 trees struck in
this acreage within three years. Ex-
amina ton shows this to be the ration:
Fifty-eight per cent. oaks, q per cent

until a solitary club came along, when
he would catch him.
The cat and dog do not wait Tor
their owner to accompany them now,
but two or three times a day the dog
will 60 down to the waters edge ana
begin to fish, and the cat will observe
that he is meeting with success and
ioin him. Sometimes they seem TO
hold consultation on the matter Of
going down, and will start on together,
walking side by side until they reach
the lake, when the dog will 90 to the
waters edge, and the cat stand near,

Judge is something Of a hunter him
self. and sometimes disappears into
the woods, where he remains for two or
three days, living on the small game
that he catches. He captures small
birds occasionally, and brings them TO
his mistress, and, although he has
learned through frequent punishments
that this trait does not meet with APP
proyal. he is so vain of his accomplish
ments as hunter that he cannot re-
sist the temptation to catch one oc-
casionally.
AT about five o'clock every morning
he gets lonesome and declines to be
comforted until some one gets up to
keep him company. If another cat
comes around he gets jealous, and, GO
ing long way off, will sit alone until
he sees that the rival has gone away.
He has one pleasure that the other
pets do not share, for almost every day
he accompanies his little owner to
school. and, taking his seat on the top
Of her desk, is permitted to remain
there until school is dismissed, when ne
| walks home at her side.

and likes vegetables better than meat.
