Chairman Bell began vigorously to rap
for order and to direct that the congested
aisles be cleared.

shouted time and time again, while the
hum of voices continued.

When the son of the dead shah of Persia declared a little more than a year ago that he would undo the lib- eralizing work of his fathers last days the world was in doubt as to the young rulers capacity for the throne. In fact, the first accounts of his attitude were revised, and he was made to say that he thought his father had gone too far, but that he was in sympathy with the aspirations of the people for political progress. Gradually differences between the shah and the nationalist party wld- ened, with the result that artillery was turned upon the hall of parlia- ment. Under similar conditions re- gently the czar of Russia dissolved the douma by imperial edict. It is noticeable that the new shah of Per sia has Russianized his army by or ganizing Cossack bands under Rus sian officers. Evidently he intends to initiate Russian absolutism at its worst. Not only is the national army loyal to the monarch, but the people seem to side with him against the nationalists. Without public support constitutionalism is certain to undergo an ecplse in Persia. a

MYSTERY OF LOST MEMORY. Y..
Not An Uncommon Occurrence fo,
 Persons to Forget Names.

A young Parisian actress who had for weeks held the title role in a pop ular play, recently, it is said, was, while on the stage, suddenly afflicted with forgetfulness and was utterly unable to repeat the lines of the last act, though she had successfully passed through the three preceding ones.
 It is not an uncommon happening with stage people, lecturers and oth- CTS, and seems more likely to occur when the matter memorized has been so often repeated that forgetfulness would appear impossible while intel ligence remained.
 The same thing happens In less marked and conspicuous way to a great number of people, its most com mon manifestation being forgetful- ness of proper names. A name ordi- narily familiar and just about to be spoken will vanish from the mind at the instant and be to the one about to utter 1t as if 1t had never been. His consciousness grasps at it in vain, and, as it were, beats against a blank wall. It Is alwasy disagreeable ex- perience. this momentary failure of the meHpry, and sometimes extremely embarrassing. Often itThappens when the victim Is about to greet an old acquaintance, or when it is desirable to introduce two men, eacn of whom he knows well. .. Doctors do not clearly explain this occasional defect in the mental pow CTS, but those who experience it know that 1t occurs when they are especial-' ly weary or overworked, and they may therefore assume that it is a form of brain flag and as readily ac- counted for as lameness of arms or legs. That 1t is most often displayed in connection with proper names is perhaps due to the fact that these are each held in the memory by sep arate and arbitrary action and not through association, and are there fore most easily lost. But whatever the cause, the multitude of persons who forget names will have a sympa- thetic comprehension of the state of mind of the French actress when she helplessly sought to find the words of her play.-Indianapolis Star.

Although the recount of the may oralty vote in New York city showed that there had not been extensive frauds committed in favor of the candidate who was declared elected, the result of the recanvass strength ems the belief that our ballot and election system is in need of improve ment. In hundreds of cases it was difficult to tell offhand what the in- tention of the voter had been. This uncertainty threw out many ballots and perhaps led to the misplacing of as many more. And yet the election for the municipal officers in 1905 was closely guarded by several rival in- terests. Many of the measures sug- gested for the reform of :he ballot are opposed by the people on the
 'ound that they interfere with the right of the voter. This relates more particularly to the forms of ballot which call for a high degree of in- teiligence in the voter to express his will. The simpler the ballot the easier 1t is to deposit illegal votes It seems that a certain amount of corrupt and illegal voting will take place anyway. To counterac. the in. fluence of such an impure vote the honest and the intelligent voteT should be extra jealous about placing his own ballot where he wants it to count. If all the clean vote Is pOlled it may still be possible to declare q clean majority in spite of the igEor. ance of a few and the dishonesty oi many.
