nounced. 1t will be the climax of a pretty
romance.
The ensign was in charge of the engine room
of the gunboat Bennington at the time it's boil

harbor of San Diego. Cal court of inquiry
recommended that the ensign be court martialed-

The ensign had met Miss Fabrigou, at Santa

After the operation the surgeons pronounced
Wade's case hopeless and none were allowed 70
see him. Gangrenous peritonitis developed, and
ID was only then that Miss Fabrigou was per-
nitted 10 visit the bedside of her sweetheart.
After each visit the doctors noticed that the
ensign's fever was slightly abated and his tenn
perature a triie lower, and finally his recovery
became assured. The court martial exonerated
him.
Miss Fabrigou is a daughter of retired pro-
fessor of Columbia University.

Rochester Jan. 31-That brain waves. or
what may be so termed. capable Of produc-
ing Photographic effects is the problem that DR..
NJ. A. Veeder, a well known resident OF Lyons,
believes he has solved.
DR.. Veeder invited several friends TO the pho
tographic studio of Mr.. Russell. in that village.
A plate from an unopened package put in
the holder and placed on a table. the shutter
being closed. Each person present placed one
hand about four inches above the plate, with the
other hand under the plate and table
After an exposure in this position for about
one minute the plate was taken into the dark
room and developed. whereupon IL was found
that a. spot had formed the size and shape of a
silver dollar, which. as a matter of fact, was
the form OF the object which the persons partic-
ipating in the experiment had in mind at the
time
