all parts Of the United States have very
seriously taken up tho problem.
Can photographs be taken of the in
hsbitants of another world?
In fact, are there such things as ghosts?
These two questions, which are of tho
greatest Importance to the students Of
the occult and, indeed, the world in gen.
eral, are both involved in the investiga-
lions Of the various societies.
The Importance of this work has been
recently enhanced by a well-authenti-
Gated coincidence.
A Miss SybeN Corbet, while staying

historic manor houses, took photograph
Of the interior of the library The tense
Of her camera was left open for an i1our
No one was present with Miss Corbat
when the photograph was taken, but
when she developed the negative a semi
transparent head and body of an elderly
gentleman appeared seated in high
back arm chair, his right arm resting on
the arm Of the chair; his other arm and
legs were invisible.
The figure could only be seen to the
waist. and although the face was rather
indistirct, 1t appeared to have a short
beard.

- With man, being ir love is
an intermittent fever. A woman Is in
love from the cradle to the grave either
with soma man or an ideal her magma
ton has contured UP, while a man is only
subject to occasional attacks of the tender
Orleans Picayune.
Generally speaking, there are seven
ages of love in the life Of man.
The earliest indication that a boy
gives of susceptibility to the opposite
sex is when he first becomes willing to
wash his ears. Up to that time he has
regarded bathing as a relic Of the in
QUESTION, and brushing his hair and
clothes as an unnecessary waste OF time
that might have been spent on tops and
marbles.
The next age of love Is the schoolboy
stage, when the female sex divides itself
into two classes-pretty women and ugly
wonderland the pretty class sub-divides
into units out Of which stand some par
ticular girl, with rosy cheeks and long
pigtails of hair hanging down her back;
tiate between women he is no longer O.
boy-he has reached his majority.
In his soul, Tommy still has secret
contempt for girls, as poor creatures who
are afraid of fishing worms and can't
throw straight, but the fact is beginning
to steal in upon his consciousness that
you can feel a strange delight In the So
ciety of a person, particularly if she has
nice pig tails and rosy cheeks, whose
ryNrV Il
recants all his heresies about girls, and
shamefacedly sees little Miss Rosy Cheeks
home. The rubicon has been passed.
Thereafter he is woman's.
The third age Of love Is when a youth
becomes enamored Of some woman old
enough to be his mother. He realizes
that a brutal world laughs at this, but
this is because the world does not know
how very. very old he feels, and how
very. very wise he is.
After youth RECEIVERS from the blight
Ing affiiction Of having his suit rejected
by his grandmamma, he enters upon the
fourth age of love-an expansive state Of
the affections in which he Is the slave
or the petticoat. He becomes a universal
lover.
Blue eyes and black, locks of gold and
locks of Jet, each makes its separate
appeal to him. and he could be 'shappy

are his delight. He spends his sub
stance on violets and chocolate creams
1t is a time of peril in a mans life, and
nothing but the safety Of numbers and

for any newspaper to do its duty and
give all the news. There are inter-

the newspaper not to publish the

year that newspapers are not called
upon to suppress some news item and
sometimes it happens several times a

of an election will be held on Monday,

ing

two years, and
Three persons to serve as Town
Councilmen for 4 like period.
The future welfare OF the town de-

the nomination and election of good
men who are not biased in their opin-

iority, and not select few, at heart.
Business men of Oakland and citi-
zens generally of the business section
of town begin to realize the necessity
of water works system even though
it be on small scale. A plan is now
being evolved whereby water can be
conveyed to town and pumped into a
reservoir at nominal cost and con-
veyed from thence to the lower parts
of the town through mains. We will
have more to say on this subject in a
later issue of this paper and in the
meantime we invite contributions
upon the subject which will be given

also the testimony offered by Adams
