UNUSUAL FEATs OF MEMORY.
Historian Macaulay Among Those
Who Could Repeat Whole Books
London Chronicle

'LoIlu0n
one of the most astonishing mne-
monte feats on record is recorded by
John Wesley. Il knew a man about
twenty years ago" writes Wesley.
who was so thoroughly acquainted
with the bible that if he was question
ed as to any Hebrew word in the old.
or any Greek word in the new Testa-
ment. he would tell, after a little
pause, not only no woften the one or
the other occurred in the bible, but
also h il mean in every place.
His name was Thomas Walsh. Such
a master of bible knowledge | never
saw before. and never expect to see
again" Walsh had a close rival in
Macaulay. who. according to James
Stephen. could repeat, "all Demos
themes by heart, and all Milton, as we'll
AS a great part Of the bible"
A strange instance of freak mem
DRY is recorded in the case of a serv-
ant girl in a Scottish manse. She
was almost illiterate. yet when delir-
ious in fever. surprised those around
her by repeating long passages of the
bible in Hebrew. The kitchen where
the girl spent her evenings adioined
the minister's study. He was accus-
toned to read aloud. The girl had
not understood or consciously taken
heed OF the reading. Yet her mind had
seized upon and stored the phrases.

PROBLEMS FOR AVIATORs.
Flight of Gulls Leads to Exposition
New Theory of Air Navigation.

In the current issue of The AUX.
which IS "a quarterly journal OF or
anthology" and much livelier than its
name seems to Indicate, there appears
one of those curious n interesting
controversies that take place when
ately explains something he has seen
AND another mar declares both the
explanation and the observation a vio-
lation of the possibilities.
The observer in this instance, Will
liam Brewster, feels sure that while
al sea on a steamer moving at fifteen
miles an hour within two points OF
straight into a win with a velocity
between twenty and thirty-five miles
an hour, he saw gulls. for many min
Ites at a time and in horizontal flight.
Keep up with the vessel. Some of the
birds We're in the wake of the steam
or. others We're over her just abaft
the smoke stack, and the greater num-
Der abreast Of her at distances vary
ing from a few feet to fifty yards.
They never did this sort of flight TO
leeward.
Mr.. Brewster. being unable to be-
1ieve in the existence of upward air
currents in all these places, evolved
the theory that The wind constantly
fills the concave wings of the sal's,
much as it does the sails of 81 e.
hauled vessels" and he inferred that
the forward motion of the gi.ds is
s'the resultant of two component for
es, that of the wind and of the At
traction of g%ravitation."
The weak point in this theory is
that 1t ignores, or rather contradicts.
the fundamental principle of dynn-
mics, which is that a force can only
do work on a body hat yields TO it
in some degree, and that when two
or more forces act at the same time
the yielding must be to each. That
a. obviously done by a boat sailing
into the wind. but, as is clearly shown
by Alexander Forbes, it as obviously
was not done by the gulls watched
by Mr.. Brewster-was not, tina Is,
If, as Mr. Brewster believes, they were
sailing a wind moving HORIZONTALLY,
for IL that case they could gain for
ward motion only by descent, which
nj. Brewster explicitly denies.
Mr.. Forbes theory is that, while
Mr.. Brewster did see what he thought
he saw, his Inscription of h~orizontalit$
to the wind was mistaken, and that
what the birds did was to RI lc an
ascending current created by the mo-
tor Of the ship against the wind. Tn
SUCH conditions they would in effect he
falling, though they kept at the came
aevel.
This. second theory receives strong
confirmation from the fact that the
Euiis carefully avoided the steamers
lee. where of course, the motion OF
the air would not be upward.

the ovation her aerial exhibition re-

HEN CAUSES A STRIKE.
Lays an Egg Which Porter is Arrest
ed For Taking.
New York Tmes.l

The untimely laying Of an g in a
crate caused the strike at the North
eastern railway station in London.
A porter. in moving a crate of live
hens, noticed that of the fowls
had laid an egg. Slipping his hand
through the bars Of the crate. he took
the egg and placed in on his barrow
for safety. A railway detective i'm
mediately arrested the porter and took
him and the egg to the railway police
station.
Within a few minutes all the rail-
way staff on duty ceased work. until
the district superintendent was in
formed of the incident and ordered
the mans release. The staff then re-
turned to work, but the officials are
still considering the fate Of the egg,
which for the present remains in the
superintendent's office.

Mrs. Henry B. Gray. the young wife
of the lieutenant governor of Alabama
under the Conner administration, had
been granted a divorce from her hus-
band caused a ripple of excitement all
owe the south.
The contempt cast for which Gray
received a six hours Jail sentence at
the hands of Recorder Clement Wood
was the elimination of a series OF
startling incidents. Gray was caught,
it appears, in a disorderly house. but
managed to keep his identity conceal
ed by getting another young man to
make bond for him. The matter was
about to be passed over as In "ordi-

In announcing his candidacy in an
open letter, McDevitt says. in part:
THE reasons l have for running for
the office are. first, the salary; second,
my vanity, and. third. my supreme
confidence in my ability to do the
things that others could do If they
did not lack the courage. =.
II am for the open town IN all
that the wore implies. l favor the

the after hours and all that this i'm

the city with closed gates is not the
ideal spot. We need recreation and
sport in it's various ways. and l am OF
the opinion that the cabaret and the
grill should not be suppressed.
Il want the Office, the money. and
the honor, and, if elected. We will
have one man in city hall who will
not be affected by the reform workers,
who want everything closed up.
I'VE have had so much reform IN
the past few years that 1t Is becoming
a burlesque. Every candidate is out
