upon the words, when n man in mill

THE BRAIN OF MAN.
Theory That Its Records once
Made Are Never Enaced.

The brain OF mankind has been de-
1ned as a kind OF Photographic cylln-
der, which retains impressions made
upon II through the medium OF the
senses, particularly through the eyes
end ears IL this be true memory must
depend for rs intensity or retcntive
qualities upon the degree OF obserya-
ton with which the record Is made
Nor Is this all III memOrys record is
kept IN the shape Of lndentations upon
the folds Of brain matter, are they ever
entirely eiflcedI In other Ws~ds, DO
we ever really forget anythngi May Il
not be that IN the inner depths Of the
brain memory has stored up recollec-
tiOus Of things which are never sgaln
purpOsely turned 10 perhaps, but which
Instantly spring into being and flash
through The mind whenever we hear or
sec something which recalls themf
There are several well known men
tai phenomena which strengthen this
theory We know that memory often
brIghtcns during the last moments Of
NE ana there are cases on record
where Germans, French, Spaniards and
others who, upon falling sick I'm this
country scores OF years after having
entirely forgotten their native Ian
guagcs, recovered and used them upon
their dcathbeds. There Is a theory that
In all such cases the brain folds have
relaxed Just as do the muscles and
cords Of the limbs and body, and that
by SO doing they expose 10 the minds
monitor lndcntations (rccolcctlons)
which were long since folded mp and
put away a. material that could not be
Of any particular use.

A monkey i'm wood somehow got n
looking glass and went about showing
II 10 the animals around him. The bear
looked into It and said he was very
sorry ne had such an ugly face; the

of the stag with iis beautiful horns.
So every beast felt sad that il had not
the face of some Other In the wood.
The monkey then took II TO an owl that

BosToN. June by large majority
the alumni of the Massachusetts, Inst-

Ballots were sent to all former students
at Tech and the polls were closed

From an analysis of about 500 letters
received by the alumni executive committee.
the minority favoring the alliance believe
that the income from the Gordon Mckay
fund would relieve the financial condition
of the institute. The majority find that
the proposed agreement is 50 vague and nd
incomplete as to insufficiently safeguard

MRS. DAWSEY OUTSTARED THEN.
\ Cans OF Men Tried in Vain to Look Her
Out OF COuntenance

Mrs. Lima Dawsey. who owns a cottage
in Main street, Tottenville Staten Island.
and gang Of pole men employed by the
New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company spent two hours last evening
trying to stare each other down. Mrs.
Dawsey won. The gang has heen erecting
poles to replace line that is worn out. In
replacing one near Mrs. Dawsey's home
they chose a new spot which brought the
pole close to her front door instead Of at
the far end Of her property.
At o'clock last night they had the hole
dug and started to haul the pole to position.
When abe saw this Mrs. Dawsey forbade
the erection OF the pole. The men dis1e-
garded her protests, and Mrs. Dawsey took
chair from her front porch and placed
1t over the hole aud sat down on it.
The pole men to the number Of i've under
direction Of their foreman, sat down on the
butt Of the pole and attempted to outstare
the woman, but after two hours Of this it
grew dark and the pole erectors withdrew.
Mrs. Dawsey then hired a man to watch
the hole during the night, with instruc-
lions to call her IL any hostile move was
made. This morning che will resume her
seat.
