DESTINY BY SCIENTIFIC MEANS

the student should bend his efforts
on learning to be farmer or lawyer,
physician or a civil engineer or a
banker; whether in play hours he
should play ball or billiards.
The old method OF sounding a mans
chest to ascertain II he has a good
pair of lungs, thrusting the fingers in
the side to see If ones liver Is all
right, listening to the heart and other
stereotyped forms of ascertaining a
mans condition, he says, are back
numbers. Measurements are the thing
and he proposes to show that instru.
ments will verify his opinion. And
the instruments which he will use are
not new to the scientific world.
DR.. Savage in one examination pro
poses to tell the student just what he
should not do-not 80 much what he
should do. He says there Is lust az
much difference in the appearance of
the human heart as there is in the
human face. AS for diet, what might
be the ruination of one man would be-
Just the thing for another.

TO MARK EVERY BULLET.
Keeping Tab On Chicago Police In
Shooting Cases.

Chicago Especially Every bullet
in every pistol carried by Chicago
policemen will have it's own distin-
gushing mark, in accordance with or
ders just issued by Chief of Police
Steward.
By arrangement with the bureau
of Identification each pistol Will be
given an individual mark, and the
bullets also. all to be registered at
the bureau.
In riots and at other times it is
often impossible to discover who did
particular bit of shooting. A po-
liceman's revolver is sometimes
wrested from him and himself shot
with it. For these reasons, given by
Chief Steward, the new development
in the Identification system is ex-
pected to prove of use.

"The tide has turned In Maine,

ised the people relief from oppres-

DineIey tariff. Instead of reduc-

GOV. HARMON. RAPS
COLUMBUS MAYOR
Ohio Executive Refuses to Call a
Special Session of the
Legislature.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 13.-Gov-
ernor Harmon has refused to call the
legislature into special session at the
request of Mayor Marshall, who
asked to have enacted compuI-
sorry arbitration law with which to
end the car strike and a law to pre-
vent the overcapitalization of cor
porations.
He said, if the Columbus street
railway had been paying dividends
on watered stock a reasonable in
crease would have been given the
men and the car strike would have
been prevented.
Harmon says that in view of the
great expense the strike had caused
the state, the mayor should be the
last to suggest a special session. He
said that the republican legislature
had paid no attention previously to
his recommendations and there was
no indication that they would now
even if he were in favor of Mar
shall's measures.
He says the mayor shows great in
genuity in asking new laws when he
has failed to enforce the old ones.
