IT WILL MULTIPLY POWER
Frank Frame Tells of an Invention
in Which His Father Owns Stock
From K. c. Times, April "a.

FRANK Frame OF SaWyer, Barber courS-
ty, Kansas, is in town to assist in looking
after his fathers affairs. His father, Lou
is Frame, is interested In a device to mul-
tiply operating power, invented by one
Henry Olney Of Chicago.
A visitor called on the younger Mr..
Frame last night at the Windsor hotel.
1000 Wyandotte street. to learn Of the
wonderful machine. MIR. Frame had
Just returned from Spiritualistic seance
and talked in a very optimistic manner
about everything.
We are not quite ready to put our
device on the market as yet. and i let
out the whole secret some unscrupulous
person might take advantage Of US and
reap the reward Of Mr.. Olney's genius
But there is a certain part Of the machine
"a new attachment which no one ex-
cept the inventor has ever laid eyes on.
and without it the invention cannot obtain
Its greatest efficiency. So | guess I'm
safe.
About two years ago my father met
Mr.. Olney in the hotel at Medicine
Lodge, which is near our home. Say,
wish you could meet that man Olney and
hear him talkI He'd fascinate you'll
He's a regular old fox for wit and brains.
And as for telling aoriesI He's the best
hand that ever listenedto. Oney is the
spryest man to be 65 years old that you
ever saw.
We'll. Olney and father swapped
stories for a while and then Olney. who,
you must know, was chief mechanic for
the Waltham Watch company for twenty
years, commenced telling about an in
vention that he was working on. Father
quickly grasped the value Of the invention,

Frame.
Leading the way to room with frost

unlocked door. and let the visitor in.
After carefully locking the door behind
him, he lighted lamp which revealed
an iron contrivance which looked like a
cross between a surveyors instrument and
an exaggerated form Of the clock which
our g1eat-grandfathers used.
TO look at this you might think it to
be perpetual motion machine. We
don't make any such claims for it. though.
We simply say that if you put one horse

take ten out That's all.
"As you can easily see its workings are
simple. The principle upon which it j:
based is simply moving the center ol
gravity.
The full secret Of the machine, how
ever, is a compressed air apparatus
With this contrivance the power multi.
