DUE TO NEURAsTHENIA?

The dancing epidemic which the country is witnessing recalls in some respects the dancing mania of the middle ages. which has been ire quentIy discussed in the literature of neurological medicine. The ragtme and turkey trot manias appear to be contagious in much the same way that the medieval manias were. They are also alike in respect to wide spread prevalence. the populations of whole continents being affected. These ncurotic phenomena have been ascribcd to widespread neurasthenia due to unrest and other pathological social conditions
 These and the naive determination to bc "amuscd'' that characterized the masses, together with the peculiar influence of d type of music" which seems to set up characteristic motor 1cactions. account for the specially scnsitizcI class which may be ob- served in action day and night almost anywhere in the country. This class Illustrates well the principles laid down by NJ I.c Bon. that authority on the psychology of the crowd Then it has been pointed out that many ragtimc tunes are version of negro revival hymns which perhaps intro duces an element of quasi-rcligious cmotionaIism and also recalls the in tcrcsting fact that dancing always has been connected with religion. es- pccially pagan religion. The instinct to dance is a very primitive one. and through the dance certain emotions find outlet and expression. There is normal and an abnormal phase to the subject. however. and We are in cIined to think that it is the latter that finds cxemplification in ragtime and tretting-Medical Times.

 Sidewalk

Yesterday morning L. w. Stillwcl of the Salt River Valley Bank while mak- ing his way to that financial institution, discovered that some party or parties unknown, had Willfully and maliciously cut at least five large weeds and had fallen them across the sidewalk just north of the post office effectually ob- structing the same MT. Stillwell was of the opinion that Probation Officer Pickens was the guilty party, but MT. Pickens said that he had only worked about an hour is could not possibly have been him, but rather than be ar rested for obstructing the sidewalk, he would agree to haul them off if MT. Stilwel would have them sawed up. People should be careful in clearing the forests along their lots and not let the large sunflOWers and weeds fall on the innocent bystanders, or on the pavement

DAMAGE IS WROUGHT
 BY STORM IN TEMPE
w. J. kingsbury is Heavy Loser in Wind and Lightning Storm
 of Wednesday Night

Caving in of the roof to the w. | KinGsbury pool hall and bowling alley. the destruction of a larger part of the fence surrounding the Tempe ball park and minor damages to or uamentaI shrubbcry throughout the town is included in the list of dam aged property sustained in Tempe "Wednesday night as a result of a terrific wind and lightning storm. The wind was apparently of the same velocity over the entire Tempe dis trict but because of the poor work manship on the ball park was dam age sustained there The destruction ol the roof on the pool hall Was due to lightning
 The storm was of unusually sud- den nature. the first indications of it's coming being noted about nine thirty o'clock. The clouds gathered rapidly and with them came the ris- ing wind A half hour later the en- tire town was enVeloped in dust storm the wind blowing a gale and loose debris blowing in every direc tion. Thunder and lightning, most unusual display of the latter, accom- Tanied the wind Eventually the storm broke and rain fell in torrents for a few minutes, giving the dis trict one of the best sOakings eX- perienced this summer. The clouds cleared away almost as quickly as they had arisen. and by midnight the sky was as clear as crystal
 The trouble at the pool hall oc cured about ten o'clock. just a few minutes after it had been closed for the night According to three by islanders, lightning started things when it struck the fire wall on the north side of the building. About thir- ty feet of the wall, standing six feet above the roof and eighteen inches thick, was dislodged and due to the wind fell inward to the roof Natur ally under the weight of the brick the sustaining trusses gave way and about two thirds of the roof went to
 the floor.
 About the only damage to the in
 tcrior of the building was that sue
 tained by five pool tables and cues, part of the roof falling directly on these.
 A force of men were set to work
 early yesterday morning clearing up
 the wreck. Present plans are to splice the trusses and return the roof in q body to it's former position. The pool hall and bowling alley will likely he open within d few days for busi- ness as usual
 -At the ball park the damage was not at all of a minor nature A greater part of the eastern fence and all of the western side was totally demolished In deep center field, the
 north fence. several divisions are also | missing.
 Damage to trees is noticeable 1 throughout the town. particularly al i the residence of w. J. Kingsbury 1 where q climbing vine fifty or sixty | feet high was completely demolished | Apparently the storm was one O annual occurrence, yet in past year! 1 it has struck Tempe a little earlier
 in the summer. That it would be { climax to the disagreeable summeI weather would be the general con 1 ClusiOn, yet evidences are that thert are still more storms to come

The story of the baby which sWam as soon as it was put into the sea, though received with so much laugh ter at the British Medical Congress- is taken seriously by Professor Hen ry, the secretary of the Royal Life Saving society.
 The professor, it is true, is dis posed to regard the infants exploit as "an accident
 Tt is possible" he said, that the child's arms and legs were moved be- fore it's immersion in accordance with the ordinary swimming movement, and that thereafter it continued the movement unconsciously
 Tt is also possible" he added, that the child had inherited the instinct for the swimming movement" :"
