THE CHICAGO BALLOON RACE.
Great Crowd Sees Nine Airships Sail
OF Into Space.

Nine balloons sailed away with sew
enteen men and one boy from the
grounds of the Aeronautique Club of
Chicago Saturday in the second race
for the balloon championship of the
world. Dispatches said there were
heavy winds and much thunder and
lightning along the route in which the
balloons were travelling and anxiety
was expressed at the Aeronautloue Club
over the storm reports Lightning is.
of course, the chief dread of the aero
naut To him it is what rocks and reefs
are 20 the mariner.
The start from the clubs grounds ut
Sixty-seventh street and South Park
avenue was witnessed by 100000 per-
sons. In point OF spectators and the
number and character Of entries it was
the greatest aeronautic event that ever
has taken place in America. and places
Chicago on par with Paris as a cen
ter for aerial sport.
The accounts of the race" seem tn
show that luck was the most importan:
factor in determining place The bal
looms went in the direction of the wind
They sailed high or low, not as their
occupants desired. but us the air eur.
rents carried them. Those that were
favored by luck reached the ground
with no accidents to their occupants.
Those that were unlucky hit the sur
face of the lake or landed their passen-
gers in dangerous places. In all ac-
counts of the contest the element OF
control is conspicuously absent.
The balloon race made good show.
1t afforded topic of interest to many
thousand people who watched the start
from Chicago. 1t is a matter of salts
faction that none of the contestants lost
his life, despite the exciting experiences
through which some of them passed.
1t requires a stretching of the word
race to describe haphazard air Jour
ney in which one balloon managed to
get 65 miles, another less than 500, and
the winner $50 miles farther than the
nearest competitor.

ODD CURE FOR PARALYSIS.
German Professor Says Ambidex'
trous Man Can Save Himself.

German Professor Says Ambfdex-
trous Man Can Save Himself.
"Man must become ambidextrous,"
declares Prof. Manfred Fraenkel, Ber-
Inns celebrated authority on the brain,
according to a Boston cable to the
New York World. "He must be taught
to employ his left hand as frequently
and as adroitly as his right hand.
Then both hemispheres of his brain
will be equally developed, equally
nourished, will send forth equally
powerful nerve stimulation. And if the
left half of the brain be damaged by
injury or disease, the right half, hav-
ing been constantly stimulated by ac-
tive use, will continue to act. SO the
number Of men plunged in intellectual
gloom or rendered helpless by paralysis
will be vastly decreased"
Fraenkel says positively, as the re
suit Of his researches, that had they
learned to use their left hands many
persons now helpless paralytics would
be useful members of society, thanks
to the right lobes of their brains. He
goes even further, and makes the as
tonishing statement that many cases
Of seeming paralysis can be cured by
the simple expedient Of teaching the
sufferer to use the left hand.
He tells of a patient whose tongue,
right hand, and right side were para
lived. but who recovered his power OF
speech by constantly practicing writing
with his left hand The patient suf-
fered a second stroke of paralysis
which robbed him OF all sensitiveness,
but did not again deprive him OF
speech. Fraenkel reports another case,
that of 13-year-old boy, who lost his
left hand from gunshot wound.
When he was 80 he became paralyZed
on the right side and. besides, lost the
power of speech. He had an artificial
left hand. He was a miserable object.
Prof. Fraenkel and DR.. Gutzman fixed
ring of wood with string on his
artificial hand and began to teach him
to write with It. This stimulated the
right lobe Of his brain, and in a short
time he found himself able to speak
not only his mother tongue (German),
but he learned French and Russian.
Renewed life had been given to
him." says Fraenkel, who adds that he
could give numerous similar cases out
of his experience.

Avoid DandruR.

Dandruff is infectious. Many men
get the germ from the brushes and
combs used In barber shops, and wo-
men from those used in hair-dressing
establishments. There is great danger
of this kind. In some places there is
no doubt that the brushes and combs
are thoroughly cleansed and soaked in
antiseptic solutions each time they are
used, but these places are very rare
Even at home the dandruff germ may
be passed from one member of the fam
lily to the other by the interchangeable
use Of combs and brushes without first
cleansing them thoroughly.-Harpe
