IL Half Inches.

Like all great men of the hour, Nou-
roulah. the Turkish wrestler, who OBJ
5ects to the name of the Terrible turk,
has been patronize6, and lionized since he
came to Boston less than a week ago,
writes Rob Roy. His appearance on the
street always creates a sensation, and he
has been in receipt of many requests
from specialists and medical authorities
to submit to physical examination
There is a great desire to get an idea
whence he derives his active and wonder
full powers.
Nouroulah SCOTS the idea of being
classed as a freak Judging from the ex-
preston on his face when people become
too famnar by commenting on his size
and other things that go towards making
him curiosity, he looks and acts as
though he would like to hand them an
lInDercut or ''croSS" with mis- right,
which looks like a small sized telegraph
pole
1t was only through the earnest per-
suasion of his interpreter and many
other persons that the mighty Nouroulah
agreed TO be examined and measured by
the famous DR.. Dudley Sargent, OF
Harvard, college, DR.. Sargent has gone
through the same process with more
notables and athletes than any man IN
the world and he is considered the
greatest living authority on such mat
ters
IT was for this reason that Nouroulah
consented to submit himself to the doc
tors hands that he could be compared TO
-,other world-famous athletes whose
names are recorded on the doctors BOOKS
at Harvard university.

also a big gathering or enthusiastic anu
curious students.
DIR. Sargent welcomed the party in his
genial way and murmured his surprise
upon being introduced to the pig IehoW.
He said he had expected to see a Dig
man, but not such mammoth chap as
confronted him.
The business on hand was Immediately
entered into, and when Nouroulah was
stripped the doctor said he was surprised
to see that he was such Well-put-to-
gether man. He pronounced him physi-
cal marvel.
Most big men, the doctor said, have
badly proportional bodies and naturally
look like freaks but in Nouroulah's case
it was to the contrary. He is an i'm
nensely large man, we'll proportioned and
graceful in his movements, as we'll as
being astonishingly active.

found the flesh hard and in healthy con-
Idition, and that the wrestler is pos
