Berlin, Aug. lo-The rumor emanatins
from London that Count Zeppelin, the
inventor of the dirigble balloon which

he is quickly recovering from the effects
of the minor operation which had been

Wind from the sea,
Come, sing to me.
Sing OF the open bay,
or the heavng deep,
And the swift free leap
OF the pillows at their play.
Sing of the days
When you and l
And tho waves together roved.
Wind from the sea.
Come, sing to me
For you sing OF the things I've loved
Sound Of the sea.
Come, sigh with me,
Sigh for the days long past;
For the days when youth
With it's love and truth
Forever and aye should last
Sigh for the time
When life's full tide
Swept on. nor was tempest-tost.
Sound OF the sea,
Come, sigh with me.
As sigh for the things I've lost.
