AVIATION AND THE SIXTH
 SENSE.

Human aviation makes an appeal to the semi circular canals (which are our organs of equilibriation)
 that they have never had before. In so far as aeroplane equilibrium is not secured through the machine-is not mechanically automatic-it must de-
 pend upon the aviatOrs sight. touch. muscle pressure and semi circular canal sense: and to that extent man must bring the sensitiveness of these parts to the standard of the bird. The bird depends wholly upon sight and semicircular canal senses in fly ing. Possibly some animals can out rival man in every sense-certainly in scent, and probably in sole use of the equilibrial sense organs. But man undoubtedly possesses the high est average of all animals. He has evolutionally passed through every grade of excellence achieved by any animal with any sense. But lessened demand on one sense through in- creased service of others must cause some deterioration in the unused sense. Has the service of our semi circular canals retrOgraded? It IS just possible for man to place him. self in a position of sole reliance upon his equlibrial sense-in dark, briny water while the fish is so de- pendent every night. In a bird the cquilibrial sense must act far more quickly than in fish. The bird gets aid from it's eyes, which change y-.x We know that our equilibrial sense is slow compared with it's chief as sight and touch. Our equilibrial sense does not ordinarily reach consciousness, except in severe Did it at one time. and have the nerves of connection simply weakened through disuse?-Dr. Ed ward \.

Now when that big fellow leans against a ball with his full swing the fences aren't far enough away to hold the ball in the lot. And this time he certainly hit one. IL looked as if it would go to Boyleston street, via the subway, when 1t started out to left I remember our pitcher threw down his glove in anger, as he thought sure the ball was in the bleachers. But it rose a little too high. Speaker was chasing that ball at his best clip and he was going some. Still it didn't look as if he could even get close. He kept going on and on until heard the crowd yelling for him to look out, fearing he would bang into the bleach CT fence and break a few legs and arms
 The ball was falling almost on top of the railing around the bleachers. Whether it would have dropped into the seats or hit the fence and bound ed back past Speaker l can't tell-but it never had the chance Speaker whirled almost touching the fence, gave one look at the ball, jumped and grabbed it; and although he was almost against the fence when he made the try. he never touched 1t. He had to twist and dodge to escape hitting the fence, and the runner went rom second to third on the catch, and seeing Speaker just starting to throw. turned for the plate. Speaker drove ,he ball on the line to me, and all had to do was to make a short lob throw to catch the runner at the plate. this turning home run into a double play.

A full pint of cough svrup-as much as you could buy for S2.50-can easily be made at home. You will find nothing that takes hold of an obstinate cough more quickly, usually ending it inside of 2+ hours. Excellent, too. for croup, whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma, hOarsencss and other throat troubles.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with T. pint of warm water, and stir for minutes. Put 2l, ounces of Pinex fifty cents wOrth) ill pint bottle, then add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. ake teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
 This is just laxative enough to help cure a cough. Also stimulates the appe- tite, which is usually upset by a cough. The taste is pleasant.
 The effect of pine and sugar svrup on the infiamed membranes is we'll known. PlneN Is tine most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract. rich in guaiacol and all the natural healing pine elements. Other prepara- tions will not work in this formula.

The greatest play l ever saw was one Iris Speaker made It was the fourth great play Of one game, and every one of them was made by Speaker, but the fourth was the best. It was during the series against the Chicago White Sox-I think in August Of 19l0-on the Boston grounds, and anyone who saw that game will re- member seeing one of the greatest ex- hibitions of outfielding ever given.
 The White Sox were hitting hard much harder than usual-but Speaker kept catching almost everything they hit and making about as sensational running catches as one often sees. Be sides that, he had pulled off two great throws during the game and his field ing kept Boston in the game all the way. 4 couple Of long drives-oue remember was by Stahl-put us ahead late in the game. but still the White Sox weren't beaten.
