In spite of her appetite, the empress

certain anniversaries which she cele-

German court has the emperor for a
hero. He was going away for a little
trip and left Che palace in such haste
that he did, not say, goodby to the

after all, too early for his train, he
dropped in for friendly visit with
the minister Of Austro- Hungary. The
minister noticed that he was nervous
and absent=minded and at last the
kaiser said, suddenly: HConnect your

The connection was made and the

i many have Just celebrated, their.
silver wedding, altho the German
people find st hard4to believe it is TWEEN
ty-fve years since their kaiser brought
the princess to Sc hleswig Holsteins to
them as their future empress.
The empress deNotess herself to- her
home,a her children and her church, but
she has considerable influence with her
versatile husband, which she uses clev-
erly and does not Wastesson petty af-
fairs.
When the empress was a. girl, her old
nurse came to her in great &excitement
one day to tell her of q dream in which
she saw her mistress crowned a Queen,
and sitting on throne of gold. The.
young princess laughed, but, when the
dream came true she sent for old> nurse
to see her with the crown son her head
and sitting on the throne of Germ my.
There is a story that the princess of
SchlesWig-Holst was chosen as a
bride for the future emperor by Bis

saw the healthy buxom Augusta Vic

the Yaws were here they lived in Cam

rope almost continually for six or seven
years now, and her mother has been
with her. Her brother and his family

Miss Yaw's voice Of four octaves has
placed her among, the musical celebrities
of Europe. Pauline Lucca and Nilsson
sang the high F in Mozart's tMagio
Flute, and Mozart himself placed on
record that he heard in Parma in 177U a
singer named Lucrezia Ajugari, who
could sing from G below the treble staff
to c on the sixth space above. Cata-
laai had.a similar range. Miss Yaw ex-
ceeds Ajugari by three notes, singing
from G, two lines below the staff, to q
on the seventh space above.

"A NINA CHRISTIE MILLER, a 16-
n year-old girl, attending the public
schools in Sioux City, Iowa, has
within four weeks discovered that she
has exceptional psychic ability. Miss
Miller is pupil Of the Armstrong
school in Sioux City. She came from
Grant Center, Iowa, where her father
obtained employment in the boarding
house Of Mrs. Ella Mahaney. At this
establishment she washed dishes and
does other work to pay for her board
and lodging while she attends school.
Her ambition was to become teacher
in the public schools, and her aim in
going to Sioux City was to fit herself
for this work. Now, however, Miss
Miller is imbued with another idea.
She has discovered that she possesses
ability along the lines followed by
Anna Eva Fay, the Georgia magnet,
and others who have demonstrated psy-
chic power.
The girl has been aware of her pc;
culiar powers no longer than a month.
Knowing that she possessed etraordi-
nary faculties, but not recognizing
them as such, she needed an accident
to discover them.
The discovery came as the result of
her proficiency in her studies. At every
recitation and in every examination her
markings were 100. Her teachers
searched her papers in vain for an op-
portunity to give her a lower mark
ing. When they failed to find any flaw
in her work they decided that she was
|"cribbing." They went to the extent
Of accusing her Of the offense. They
could find no other explanation of the
perfection Of her answers. The accu-
sation was met by panied surprise on
the part of the girl. She had been
honest and she resented the imputation
Of her teachers.

as well as Of the sith grade,' she

CHAPTER XII

The woman who sits on a platform at
a public meeting for the first time I'M
dergoes peculiar exhilaration. The
rows upon rows Of faces, a curious sense
of isolation, with the consciousness of
being in the public eye, combine to
produce a psychological change in the
woman, lifting her out, of herself into a
rarer atmosphere Of calm or throwing
her into the terrible alternative Of
stage fright. cannot remember that

my home and my babies, forgot my irate

it in book.''
The teachers did not yet understand.
They planned a test. Problems were
given her belonging to grade far
advanced over the one to which she
had qualified on entering the school.
She did them accurately. Her ability
astonished the teachers and her fame
began ito spread.
While the boarders were holding an
nights ago, Anna was requested to
undertake experiments in mind reading.
A picture was placed before her. while
she sat blindfolded. She described it
accurately. Other experiments were
attempted and in all she proved sue
cessful. From that time on there was
no attraction for the boarders outside
of the Mahaney home. Anna amused
them nightly.
Soon some one suggested the posi-
bility that Anna could perform the
feat accomplished by Anna Eva Fay.
A center table was drafted into service
and Anna undertook to control it. The
result astonished all in the room. After
she placed her hands on the table it
began to show signs of life. Gradu-
ally two of the four legs lifted from
the floor. Pretty soon the table began
to walk around the room and eventu-
ally it stood on one leg.
Muscular men undertook to hold the
table as it followed Anna at her bid
ding across the room. They could not
| prevent it's moving. It made no diff
| ference. After few moments con-
tact with Anna s fingers the table wab-
bled along, sometimes straight and at
other times in circle about the room.
AS proficiency grew, Anna was able to
make the table dance a Jig across the
room and fall into her lap and do other
| odd things.
