ELECTRICITY RULES
LIFE OF HUMANS
San Francisco Doctors Declare Elk
pertinent Proves Source Of
All Action.

San Francisco, Nov. 12.--Before a
number of medical. men and scientists
Drs Albert j. Atkins and E. J. Lewis
! have succeeded in charging an .electri-
cal circuit with human electricity to
such degree that s. external sound
waves were transmitted and heard thru
an ordinary telephone receiver.
The experiment consisted Of the ap-
! plication of two platinum electrodes to
/ the walls of the living stomach. BY
means Of copper wires the electrodes
were connected with a telephone and
microphone, sensitive instrument
! which greatly intensifies sound. There
! was absolutely no mechanical or chemi-
cal battery in the circuit, yet the mo-
ment the electrodes were swallowed
sufficiently to touch the walls Of the
stomach, human electricity flowed over
the wires, rendering audible sounds.
The electric charge measured from Z to
8 millivolts on Weston galvanometer.
Electricity Governs All.
Doctors Atkins and Lewis asserts
that by this experiment they have dem
onstrated the law Of action Of the hui
man senses. They reason that if sound
i is transmitted over copper wire when
it is charged with human electricity, it
is reasonable to consider the principle
the same when the auditory nerve is
charged with the same force. In other
words, we hear when the auditory nerve
is made sensitive with human electric
ity on the same principle by which we
receive telephone message. =, RI
Furthermore, these Z, scientists claim
that by a series of experiments they
have proven that digestion is an cleo.
tro-chemic process, that all life action
in the body is dependent upon the activ.
ity of the electrical forces within the
organism, and that variations Of sense
manifestation, as. sight, hearing, etc.
are caused by the different rates OF
vibration set up by the human electri
cal currents, acting on the special SENSE
nerves. . a..-

Corvallis Wins Championship.

The o. A. G. basketball team won
the championship of Oregon by de-
feating the Dallas College team on
the Corvallis floor last Friday night.
The game was very close during the
first half, but later 0. A. @. took the
lead and maintained it until the end
of the game. The final score was II
to IL in favor of D. A. G. Both teams
put up fine ball, being very evenly
matched in teamwork, and it was
only through the superior basket
throwing of the 0. A. G. boys that
Dallas lost the game. Jack Sibley, Of
Dallas, off1ciated as referee, and q.
Thorp, of Monmouth, was the umpire.
The special motor carrying rs Dallas
rooters arrived home from Corvallis
about midnight. The Corvallis con-
test was the last college game Of the
season.
Tomorrow night the Dallas boys
will play the "Meteors" of Chicago on
the home floor. The Illinois boys
come to Oregon with fine record, and
a good game is promised.
