Viewed as an optical instrument, the
human eye may well be called perfect,
for 1t is an apparatus contained In a
globe less than an inch in diameter, In
which is produced an image practically
perfect in form and color and which
can be accurately adjusted almost In
stantly for every distance from five
inches to infinlty, which Is movable in
every direction, has an area small
enough for the detection of the most
minute details and at the same time
large enough for the appreciation Of
large objects, and which enables us to
see all shades Of color and to estimate
distance solidity, and, to some extent,
the consistency Of objects, and yet this
wonderful instrument, perhaps the
most varied In Its capabilities OF any
part Of the body, is persistently mis-
used and neglected. Is 1t any wonder
that some day nature resents this treat
ment and leaves the offenders In total
and perpetual blindness?

temple of Cybele, huge earthen jar,
that had held wine or oil for the serv-

the Great came up to him one day and
asked what he could do for him. Don't

ROLLER SKATER TRIPS ON SPIKE

In the presence Of large and en-
thusiastic audience the brothers Brosky.
gave most interesting roller skating
exhibition yesterday afternoon at Lor-
ing park. Since the ice went out of
the ponds, the aquatic weeds have been
growing apace, the small. why tops
mating down as they reached the sur
face so that an excellent, level floor
was provided for the skatorial artists.
After executing various intricate fig
ures separately, the artists essayed
some acrobatic team work on the roll
ers, the first act of the sort introdu-
cling Louis at high speed with Henri
standing upon his shoulders. While
passing across the upper end of the
pond, Louis tripped on a. large spike
which a careless workman had driven
into the surface of the water, leaving
some two inches Of the steel sticking
up into the air. A terrific fail followed
and Henri was picked up bruised and
stunned. His injuries were not serious
except for the temporary disability, and
the brothers expect to complete their
exhibition on the afternoon Of june 81.
An investigation will: be held by the
park board to identify and discipline

Minneapolis is entertaining royalty
in the person Of Princess Wah-Ta-Waso
of the Iroquois nation. Her home is
near Montreal, where her people are
permanently settled as prosperous
householders. Her title comes to her
thru her mother, who was the daughter
Of the great chief of the Iroquois, and
tho the tribal form Of government no
longer exists, the proper distinctions
paid to royalty are still accorded to
members Of the family. ! Wah Ia Waso
is charming young woman Of 20, who
has the rich, warm color, the dark hair
and eyes and the issome figure OF the
Indian, but who speaks English as per-
fectly as a Wellesley graduate. She
has travelled widely, but In all the 40
cess Of information thru contact with
the world, she has never ceased to be
proud Of her race. In fact, Indians
wherever found are her kindred spirits
and she has just come here from lama,
Iowa, where she and her cousin were
honored guests Of the exclusive Mus
quake band Of Sacs and Foxes.
Thru acquaintance at Tama. Wah-.
Ta-Waso came to Minneapolis with let
