FINDING THINGS.


Miss Bailey is Gifted III that Direction.
Marion Bailey of Waldo is surprising her
friends by her mysterious methods of find
ing lost articles. Miss Bailey accomplishes
these things after trance, and in every
case so far she has located what the persons
are searching for. The power possessed by
Miss Bailey was not discovered until short
time ago, when one of the family came into
the house unexpectedly and found her in
trance state. She was watched after tha<,
but does not have the spells often. A few
days ago she had a trance while sitting
with her mother, and on coming out OF it
she went to the chimney and began talking
with an imaginary person. At the conclu-
sion of the talk she told her mother that a
Mexican dollar belonging to the family,
which had been lost for long time, could
be found in the wood pile. The dollar was
found. few days later she located lost
watch, which had been missing some
months Since that time her powers have
been taxed by filling requests to find lost los
or stolen property for the people OF the
neighborhood. After she has one of the
trance states she is able to locate the prop
erty, and in every case she is successful:
She has no accurate knowledge herself OF
how it is done, and her friends are equally
mystified. 49,.
Miss Bailey is the daughter of a well
known cigar manufacturer in Waldo. AT
school she is considered bright student
and learns quickly.-BangOr News.

The hair is one of the greatest promoters of

knowledge and consequent carelessnesS is the
cause of the great amount of badness, prema-

entirely neglect the hair, others give it too much
