New Orleans.-Miss Jessie Fishel,
daughter of Lewis Fishel of this city,
whose power of speech was restored
several weeks ago, when shocked by
lightning, became dumb again from
the same cause. She has been under
the care of physicians for many
months, but they have discovered
nothing indicating the cause of the
girls power of speech being suscep-
tible to flashes of lightning and thun-
derclaps. The members of her family

expect Miss Fishel to begin talking
again during the next thunderstorm
that visits New Orleans. Relatives
say that some years ago her speech
was restored when she put her feet
into a basin of water that was too hot.
