 Capt. Hugh w. Henry, who has been spending some weeks at. Ocean City, Md, Is expected here in few days, where he will visit his sister. Mrs: H: awaits him. The Captain Is in fine physical trim and is good swimmer: Last week while enjoying his usual surf man struggling in deep water and call seized with cramp and was drowning, rescue and skInf1iiiy and courageousiy held him above water till another swimmer came to his assistance and together they brought the helpless and half drowned man to shore"

 As to sixth Sense.
 T don't know that l believe what some people at various times call the sixth sense" said a Montgomery citi. convinced that each of the five senses we have becomes unusually more acute and active on ocasions. l don't know
  been told by a sixth sense alone that a black wall Is in my way or some other invisible article which has been placed there ssince I last walked across the room I do know. though. that while lying still in my bed at night l can hear the ticking of my watch fnil no noise in this case. would fail to hear the ticks. I don't know that in tultlvely or by a sixth sense l would turn in my chair and look around to n a IT window. Yet with my auditory nerves abnorm- ally sensitive I have been many times aroused from sleep by the most insig- nlficant noise that has any suggestion of stealth. If I were awake I would perhaps not hear the same sounds: l have also seen somnambulists rise from straight to the front door strS ighter most likely than if they were awake: carpenter In his sleep once ascended by m unheard of route to the top Of ten story building with just the steel frames standing. He strode from top beam to top beam with surprising alac- fear he would drop to death, knowing that such feats had never been per. formed by conscious men. Instead or calling it sixth sense, then, why not say 1t Is an example of touch. vision and hearing senses used absolutely for all they are worth at time when the con scious brain exercises no will power or pays any attention to ulterior objects or ideas?'
