The Bride Wins,

At Yarmouth. in st. Nicholas church,
one Of the most curious objects is
known as the Devils Chair. 1t is
formed out Of the huge jawbone Of a
whale and stands at the west end Of
the church. When fisher lasses get
married, they think it good for the
newly welded couple to race from the
chancel, and they believe that whoever
reaches the Devils Chair first will rule
the roost in the little household they
are about to set up.-London Graphic.

east. says the Frenchman. In these
positions you receive positive waves
OF electricity, the negative currents

The operators were Miss Anna
