The two senators voting for the bill

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS INCREASE
Sixty-Five Places Instituted for Chill

sis Since January, 1907.

New Yorkshire January I, 1907,
IS open air schools for children af-
f1icted with or predisposed to tubercu-
losis have been established in 2S cit
les, according to an announcement
made in a bulletin issued recently by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first open air school in the
United States was established in jan
uary !, 1907, by the board of education
Of Providence, r. l., at the instance OF
DR.. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established in May of the same
year at Pittsburg, a third one at Bos-
ton in July, 1908, and the fourth at
Bellevue hospital in New York in De-
cember, 1908. During the year 1909
ten schools in five different cities were
opened; in 1910, 16 schools in u cit
les we're opened; and eight schools in
five cities have been opened to April
l, 1911, while definite provision has
been made for q more schools in six
cities. Many cities are considering
the question and will act during the
coming year.
New York city now has in operation
12 open air schools and classes, and
definite provision has been made for
Il similar classes to be opened by
next fall. Boston has five open air
classes in it's schools, and Chicago also
has several
According to reports received by the
National Association, the result of the
open air class work has been to re-
store most of the children to normal
health and efficiency. One of these
open air schools or classes should be
established for each $4,000 popula.

dents of the town appeared in the
continuous uproar of shouts. The in
surrectos began to collect thousands
of rounds of ammunition from the fed
eral barracks and they easily have
made the most valuable capture of
the revolution. They now have two
mortars, three machine guns and two
field pieces. Their ammunition belts,
somewhat depleted during the attack,
are filled again.
The town of Juarez has been mauled
by bullets and shells beyond recogni-

burned to the ground. Numerous

Repairing the City.
Telephone wires were soon being
repaired and shattered telegraph poles
replaced. The insurrectos now are
trying to make their new capitol a
habitable place.
Happiest among those who were
about the streets were the prisoners,
liberated from the Jail during the day.
Many Of them claim to have been in
nocent of any wrong doing. James
Monaghan, whose address is Philadel-
phia, student in Swarthmore col
lege, who went sightseeing in Juarez
on Sunday, says he was arrested as a
spy and since then has been in prison,
being forced frequently during the
fighting to carry water from across the
street to the federal soldiers who
fought from the top of the Jail.
The sympathy of the people in the
state of Chihuahua is with the rebels
and if they march southwark toward
Mexico City it is most certain they
will recruit thousands of men.
The probable course of action of the
insurrectos now will be to determine
whether the government is ready to
make definite peace concessions. Ne
gotiations for peace probably will be
resumed in a day Or two, but the rebel
demands probably will be much stron-
ger than before. Erstwhile peace
commissioners and rebel political
chiefs were in Juarez last night con.
ferring with MaderO.

is introduced by an apparatus he calls
the horoscope, by means of which he
suspends the influence of the con-
scious state 1t is small black mask
fitted on a spectacle frame. There are
no eyeholes, but two white dots where
the eyes should be. The patient has
to concentrate his attention on these
white dots, and think of nothing else.
And the two white dots become one.
''It limits the ideas to oneness,
Doctor Brown explained "The pa
tient becomes SO sick of oneness that
his consciousness falls into allegiance.
He is conscious, but does not want to
be bothered with anything; he makes
no active thought or active muscular
action-just as when you first awake
in the morning. And in the subcon-
scious state your senses are far more
alert than in the active; tho faculties
are six times more alert"
Psychotheraphy has undoubtedly
great future in all cases of hallucina-
ton, epilepsy and nervous disorders of
every kind.

HEAVY WIND STORMS.
Vicinity of Fargo Visited by Destruc-
tive Breeze.

Fargo, May 1.-Two dozen houses
and barns blown down and many of
them carried far across the country
hundreds of shattered windows, a de-
moraliZed telephone and electric light
service hurt is the total claimed by a
heavy wind storm, approaching a cy-
clone in magnitude, which struck each
side of this city.
The storm first struck west of this
city at Marion and vicinity in the after
noon causing panic. The sky grew
dark, and it was necessary in Moor
head and Fargo to turn on the electric
lights. However, the wind had it's eff
feet here also for the lights were soon
put out of commission and nothing but
gas was available.
At Marion and the section in that
neighborhood people rushed for their
cellars to escape the debris and flying
timbers. No reports of fatalities were
heard from the west. Barns, machine
sheds and some small houses were
taken bodily from the ground and car
ried a considerable distance. At about
1 o'clock heavy rain set in at Itch
vile and Lucca in southern Barnes
county, followed by a terrific wind
storm. A number of valuable horses
and COWS were killed by falling debris
and flying timbers.
One large barn in Marion was TAX
en- up by the wind and carried over a.
dwelling house, doing no further dam
age than to take off the chimney. One
of the largest barns in this section,
built last summer by Jacob Schroed-
er, was totally destroyed.
The storm from reports jumped
Fargo and Moorhead and struck again
shortly after o'clock at FELTON,, Mimi,
p miles north of Moorhead. Here all
of the windows in the town in both
residences and business places were
blown in. A large barn belonging to
Andrew Peterson, living two and one
half miles west of FELTON,, was carried
into the air and totally destroyed. Pc
terson was in the barn at the time and
as the barn was carried away drag
ging timbers. struck his head causing
deep cuts and gashes. He now lies in

in Behrine Sea Does Not Exceed
More Than 1000.

st. Petersburg.-In accepting the
cry conference In Washington, the
Russian government appears to be ami
mated by a somewhat belated desire to
repair the mistake committed at the
Behring sea conference in not Indoors
ing the 60-mile limit The result has
been that the seal rookeries in the
Commander islands are rapidly becom-
ing exhausted.
These fisheries are leased to Rus
sian company under a contract which
expires this year. The substance or
the report drawn up by the official sent
by the government to report upon the
condition of the rookeries is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, formerly 10000 to $4,000
skins were obtained annually, the pres
ent yield does not exceed 1000 Even
this number is attained only by the
slaughter of fair proportion of young
females. This procedure is necessary,
since the killing off Of the males is
already leading to a decline in the
number of brood seals
The conclusion arrived at is that
unless some measures are taken to
put stop to pelagic sealing it would
be best to kill off the whole herd.
Although pelagic sealing has dimin-
ished the stock in the Pribyloff islands,
the enforcement of the 60-miles limit
has enabled the Americans partially
to cope with the evil. The main and,
indeed, the only offenders, appear to
be the Japanese. Although Japan has
not recognized the 6O-mile limit, Amer
lean gunboats police it against all
corners. In the waters around the
Commander islands Japanese poach-
ers, although frequently fired upon by
the alert guards, commit incessant dep
relations, and boldly come 1nshore
after fur seal and otter.
Much satisfaction is felt here over
the prospects of putting an end to this

terested in what they were doing, and
whenever the curve showed signs OF
whiting they began to look around for
the delinquents who had caused it..
Such was the general desire to see the
line on the upward grade rather than
going down that not only did individ-

bear on erring members of the class,
