HIS EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS
Minister, by Exercise OF VIII, "Tele-
pathed" His Bodily Presence
to Friend.

The Rev. Clarence Godfrey, on re-
firing one night, determined that he
would try to 'telepath" a phantasm
of himself to a lady living in anoth-
err part Of the city, tells II. Adding
ton Bruce in Success Magazine. For
about 10 minutes he e~ndeavored, in
thought, to appear to her. At the
end of that time he fell asleep.
About four hours later the lady
on whom he had been .exerting his
will" awoke with an impression that
she had heard a curious sound. She
felt nervous and uneasy and thought
that if she went downstairs and took
a drink of soda water it might have
a quieting effect.
Coming back, she was astonished
to see the form of Mr.. Godfrey
standing on the staircase. He re-
manned standing there for three or
four seconds, while she stared at him
in Mortified amazement. Then, as
she approached the staircase, he dis
appeared.

Answer. Yes, the term may be
longer but cannot be shorter un-
less the forty cent levy, the cash
on hand and the public funds are
insufficient to produce an eight
months school, in which case the
board is under the necessity of
continuing the school as long as
the funds derived from the several
sources above mentioned will pay
for. To fail to do so is to lose the
public funds for the next year.

Editor Tribune :

Editor Tribune
In my article of last week on the
tariff, 1 closed with the downward
revision of 1888. Previous to that
time all the revisions had sent the
protective tariff upward and the
prosperity and progress of the
country sky ward. But a fearful
and disastrous crash followed this
reduction of the tariff of 1888, so
much so that President Van Buren,
convened congress in extra session
to devise ways and means to stay
the march Of financial destruction.
In his message to congress . Sep
TENDER d, 1887, he described the
conditions of the country as
follows =" This nation, n of the
most commercial in the world and
but recently enjoying the highest
degree of prosperity, has suddenly
in a time of profound peace, and
without any great national dis
aster, been arrested in its carrier
and plunged into a state of en-
barrassment and DISTRESS"
The electors were so we'll salts
fed that this downward revisio n
of the tariff brought about those
disastrous results that in the
Presidential election of 1910 Van
Buren, was defeated for the End
term and General w. H. Harrison,
a high protective tariff advocate
was elected President instead, so
that in 1912, the protective tariff
was again restored and was follow
ed by another season of pro-
sperity. James X. Polk was elect
ed president in 1874, who was a
tariff for revenue only" advocate.
and who said in his inaugural. ad-
dress March 4. 1916. 81 congrat-
ulate my fellow citizens on the en-
tire restoration of the credit of the
government and we are happy to
perceive a settled, disposition on
their part, as their ability returns
after a season of unexampled
picunary embarrassment to pay
all just demands" In his first
annual message December 2. 1S45.
President Polk again said. II am
happy to congratulate you on the
continued prosperity of t G
country" and thus it is shown by
a tariff for revenue only, President
that the credit and prosperity
which was lost by a tariff fol
revenue only was regained under
a protective tariff"

School Notes.

To Scho oil officers, Teachers and
Patrons. Questions and answers
on the School Law.
The County Superintendent has
been very busy all winter visiting
schools. l lind a great many pup
lis crippled in their school work
and not interested because they
are trying to do work to difficult
for their work they are not ready
for the teachers and superintendent
have labored faithfully to remedy
this condition and have made quite
improvement, but much more
needs to be done. Let US be care
full in making promotion at close
of school, so as to put the school
in the best possible condition for
the beginning of next year.
The child wastes his time when
he tries to do work beyond him
self. Nor can such a child ever
become interested in his work.
Haphazard work or work half done
Is practically worthless. The vital
question is not how many pages
has the child been over, but how
we'll has he mastered the work he
has gone over?
In a short time l shall be ready
to announce the nature, time and
place of the graduating exercises
to be held this spring.
Copies of the new school law
will soon be sent to presidents and
clerks of school boards. The
County Sup't. will prepare a
memorandum sheet to go with
each copy, calling attention to

Death of M. N. MaIlerson Sr.

Moses Newton Mallerson, the
subject of this sketch is one of
Montgomery's oldest and most

pleasure that during his Western
experience in those early days he
killed a deer on the ground where
the great city of Denver, Colorado
now stands.
For many years the deceased
was connected with the business
interests of this city, and he will
be greatly missed in all circles.

the news of his passing away. He

JAPAN's MARINE FARMERS
LEAD WORLDS PRODUCTION
America Beginning to Realize Edible
Qualities of Ocean Vegetation.

While the people Of the United
States have not, in the sense that
the Japanese have, utilized to any
great extent the marine vegetables
they have nevertheless not overlook
ed in every case the profit to be de-
rived from farming the ocean on the
Atlantic coast.
On Cape Cod, for instance, the gath
ering of what is known as "sea moss"
is an important industry, and the
product is widely employed in the
making of certain desserts. A fine
blancmange is compounded with the
help of this species of seaWeed. La
YER" kind of sea spinach, but in
dubitably a seaweed, is much eaten in
Philadelphia, being cooked like ordi-
nary spinach, and there is "dulse,"
widely known as an article Of diet in
Europe, that is not without recognition
on this side Of the Atlantic.
It should, however, be added that
the American crop of seaweeds is yet
exclusively wild and of that which is
available only small part is gath
cred. We are assured that there are
number of marine plants, plentiful
enough in the shallow waters of the
Atlantic and gulf coasts, which might
furnish an addition to our tables were
their merits once recognized. In ia
pan similar plants are deemed great
delicacies.
The Japanese are said to lead the
world in their utilization of the re-
sources of their waters, and compe-
tent authority has it that their ocean
crops reach each year the value of
| more than $1,00O,OOO.
The seaweed known as porphyra is
in Japan deemed the most important
of all marine foods, and it is cultivat-
ed in many districts Bushy twigs
| are planted in regular rows in shall
low and brackish water, there being
left between the rows sufficient space
to permit the passage Of canoes.
| Late in winter the delicate marine
plants gather upon the twigs between
tide marks. They show the form Of
leadike sheets, purple in color. Girls
| pick them from the twigs, wash them
to remove mud and sand and dry
them on reed mats in the sun. The
pieces adhere to one another by their
/ own gelatin. and when peeled off in
large sheets they are folded and sent
to market. For edible purposes they
are usually baked.
