PHENOMENA OF DREAMLANp
Scientists Explanation of the Visions
of Sleep,

A scientist explains some of the
strange phenomena of dreams by say
ing that they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory" He takes the
falling through space" dream and
points out that after suffering the
mental agony of falling the sleeper
escapes the shock of the actual STOP
ping. The explanation is that the fall
ing sensations have been transmitted
from remote ancestors who were for
tunate enough to save themselves,
after falling from great heights III
tree tops. by clutching the branches.
The molecular changes in the cere-
bral cells due to the shock of stop
ping could not be transmitted, be-
cause victims falling to the bottom
would be killed. In a similar manner,
by reverting to the habits of animals
which existed centuries ago, the
same investigator finds an explanation
for the mental state experienced by
individuals in various dreams-the
pursuing monster" dream, the rep
tile and vermin" dream, color dreams,
suffocation dreams, flying dreams and
the like

Sandy, Utah.-After many hours of

Of Alta miners. the bodies of the six
victims who suffered death in the aw-

Powell was in charge of the board
ing house conducted in the camp by
Mrs. John Matson of Sandy, his
mother Gray was a miner employed
by the Columbus Consolidated Mining
company. The remaining victims
were strangers who had come to the
camp seeking work.
In the dead of night, while all the
victims were asleep, the avalanche
rushed down the mountain side with
out moments warning, sweeping
away the boarding house referred to
and the saloon of Ross Ormburst, the
adjoining building. Gray and Muir
ply were sleeping in the saloon; the
other victims were in their hunks at
the boarding house.
Armburst, the proprietor of the sa-
loon; Lee Herrick and John Baker
were sleeping in that portion of the
saloon which escaped the heaviest
portion of the slide. and by some
freak of chance they escaped death,
although they were hurled in from
three to six feet of snow. Armburst,

with only their night garments to pro-

hat hour-2 o'clock Saturday morn
ng-was raging fiercely, worked for
hours in an effort to locate the other
yictims. All suffered greatly, and
Bakers feet were badly frozen.
Although the slide, which came
rom the Ruster hill, on the south

Wants Party Circle Omitted.

/ Judge Edward O. Brown in an ad-
dress to the City club of Chicago said:
Il hold it to be self-evident that
the man who doesn't know whom he
wants to vote for isn't qualified to vote.
We asked the legislature several years

racy should demand of our next legiS-
lature that the ballot in Illinois be
made like that of Minnesota and Mas

That's the only way we can give the
Australian ballot system a fair trial"
The argument used by politicians in
favor of the retention of the party cir
Gle. is that its rejection would give the
Independent voter too much power.
The politicians fail to see, as the
Springfield Register comments, that 1t
is the man who is always guided by
the circle who is a menace to good
government. He votes for his party
right or wrong. The Independent voter
is the safety valve. He cannot be
bought with the money furnished by
the insurance companies and Wall
street "financiers" as the republican
machines bought ignorant voters in
1896 to defeat William j. Brayn.
The demand for the elimination of
the circle is spreading. 1t has been
abolished in Iowa, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Massachusetts. 1t is under
stood that Governor Deneen will re-
commend in his annual message that
the circle be displaced from the ballot
in Illinois. The man who votes should
