BOY HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE
BEDSTEAD FALLS FIFTY FEET IN
THEATER AND JUST MISSES HIM
WHILE HE BANGLES FROM ROPE
I'M MID-AIR.

Joe Benoit, small boy who was help
ing behind the stage OF the Astoria
Theater on Friday afternoon, had a
narrow escape IRON being killed by some
falling scenery, which came shooting
down from above the stage within a few
inches from behind him, while he WAS
suspended in mid-air.
In the performance of Camille" there
is a heavy bedstead used in featuring
one oi the acts. After the performance
Thursday night it was found that there
was no room on the stage for it. Ropes
we're tied to the bed and it was hauled
up to the dies.
In the performance Of "A Western
Gentleman" on Friday night. corset
is used in one act, and yesterday it was
found missing, One OF the stage hands
suddenly remembered that it was on
the bed before the latter was hauled
above the scenery,
! Young Benoit was on the stage and
offered to 90 up after it if he were
pulled up by the scenery ropes. He
was securely fixed in a loop and the
men commenced hauling him up. II was
at this point that he narrowly escaped
being killed.
/ When about half way to the suspended
bed, the latter came apart from the
ropes and fell about so feet to the lloor
with a loud crash, passing within a few
inches Of the young lad as he dangled
in tho air.
When they lowered young Benoit he
was looking vely white and said that he
felt quite sick at his narrow escape, One
Iyomgster sitting on bench near where
the bed dropped, grew so limp at his
close call that he said never word
but slipped to sitting posture on the
floor as though paralyzed.
I Other people on the stage We're luckily
out OF reach of the falling bedstead,
which sustained no damage from the
crash

Our Lost Sense.

One of the greatest discoveries Of
physiology is that we once had six
senses. What the lost sense was no
one knows, and probably no one will
ever know, but that our forefathers
possessed it there Is no doubt. for
the remains Of that part Of the brain
in which it resided are still to be seen
in any one of us. These remains
are simply small and now perfectly
useless little mass of brain substance
called the pituitary body, 1t consists
of two tiny little oval lobes joined
together and lying In little cavity
Of the SKULL strangely named the sella
turcica and situated over and behind
the nose. 1t is quite possible that it
may have enabled our forefathers to
see in the dark before lamps and can
dies We're invented, or 1t may have
placed them in communion with ghosts
and fairies. or it may have been an
organ that enabled them to go home
In bee line when they lost their way
in the primeval forests. On the other
hand, it Is possible that it was a bad
substitute fop vision Op smell or hear
ing and died out when the improved
sense organ developed.
