BOY OF 13 KNOWS
FOUR LANGUAGES.
Does Sums at Lightning Speed
and Can Memorize
Anything.


By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau Of
the Post Dispstch.
New York, Jan. Is Speaking Of
prodigies, Brooklyn has one that is
certain to be heard from In the next
few years. He ia Lyman Paul, IS
years old, grandson OF David Berger,
an official interpreter.
The boys education began when
he was only three years old. At the
age OF Ave he could speak both Ger,
man and Hebrew as fuently as he
could English. In the years follow
ingit became apparent daily that the
boy had a remarkable brain.
To him the routine studies Of the
public schools were child's play. In
figures he can turn the most astound.
ing flip flaps. In test to which he
W. subjected the boy added sums in
three figures at lightning speed and
multiplied, subtrscted and added
fractions almost as rapidly as they
could he called off to him.
Lyman speaks not only German,
Hebrew and English, but has fluent
tongue as well In the complexities of
Yiddish. Grandpa Berger put him
through his linguistic PAGES at clip
that was enough to dazzle the aver
age person.
The boy read newspaper parag.
raph picked out at random, then
without looking at the clipping he
recited the words In order backward.
He then translated the paragraph in
German and made it turn the same
handspring. He repeated the per.
Torrance in Hebrew and Yiddish, or
at least Grandpa Berger said he did.
Inc boy can write In all OF the6e IAN
guages rapidly.
Another of the boys accomplish.
ments is to memorizs whatever he
hears read. A newspaper paragraph
OF 81 words was read to him as q
test, and without the least hesitation
he reeled 1t of word for word.

said Mr.. Berger. "I'm going to
make great man OF him. II his
head holds out II shall be 80 full OF
knowledge that his greatness will
shine anywhere he may CO."

More State Normal

vided between the sexes as follows:
5,210 men and IL $50 women. From
the same source, the total number Of
graduates from the State University
since 1843 was 2 $50 and the total
number OF graduates from the three

was 1,601, making the total number

WASHINGTON, July SO.-The sub.

ed to have been settled adversely,
and the sailors of the Atlantic fleet.
under command of Rear Admiral
Evans, were not to be allowed to in.
dulge in the national game on the
Sabbath while the fleet touched mort
in Massachusetts. This action came
about as result of protests from
the city fathers of Proyincetown,

II now appears that committee

Massachusetts, has been in consulta-

generally understood they desired to
get his ideas on Sunday sports with
view to cddifying the laws of the
state in relation thereto.
Unless the laws are so changed
that the sailors may indulge In re.

no further attempt upon the part of
