FOUR HURT
IN A TWISTER NEAR CANISTOTA
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

Canistota, June "a disastrous
cyclone struck the vicinity Of CAMS
tota, doing much damage to farm
property and injuring four people.
A large, funnel shaped cloud ap-
peared six miles southwest of CAMS
tota about 10 o'clock after the wind
had blown a hard gale all evening.
The cyclone formed in the neighbor-
hood of Fred Henthorn's place, trav-
eled in a direction almost due north
and swept everything in its path for
nearly eight miles. All of the barns
and outbuildings on the Henthorn
and James Graham farms were blown
down. No buildings happened to be
in the path of the storm until Ii
struck the Fred Harms place, two
miles northwest of Canistota, where
a fine set of farm buildings was COM
pletely demolished and the ruins
scattered for a mile in every direc-
ton. Four members of the Harms
family were seriously injured.
The house and all the outbuildings
were reduced to splinters and the
debris scattered over the fields. Mr..
and Mrs. Harms and their two sons,
Edward and Herman, were in the
house when the cyclone struck. After
1t passed Edward was found in the
cellar and Herman and his father
were found in the ruins, all In an un-
conscious condition. Mrs. Harms had
three ribs broken. She was the only
member of the family able to go to
the neighbors for aid. Neighbors
and people from Canistota quickly
responded. The injured were taken
to the home of Dan Harms, where
their wounds were dressed by a sur
geon. Edward and Herman have re-
gained consciousness and are consid-
cred out of danger, but their father
is considered serious.

Which II Flies Through the Air-In-

After the electric train, the air train.
1t has arrived, says a London dispatch
to the Washington Post, and it is
claimed to be the most marvellous in
vention of the age. II travels through
the air without visible means of sup
port, either above or below. At a wiz

phenson and his first locomotive.
There Is no locomotive on the air

title given to the new discovery, and 1t

Bachelet,. an old man who has spent
Il almost "A Hfatino in brtpOipp this won
der child of his to perfection.
The explanation Of the system under
which the air train is made to perform
its marvellous work is that Bachelet
discovered that certain metals offer a
retarding influence to the magnetic
force flowing from an electric coil en-
ergized by an alternating current.
This retarding influence sets up led
dy'' currents, which cause the reverse
Of magnetic attraction. In other words,
the effect Of a magnetic coil on certain
metals is TO repel instead Of to at.
tract them. One of these metals is
aluminium, and the effect Of magnetic
electricity on aluminium Is the great
factor In the working of the air train.
The car or cars of the air train are
long, narrow and cigar shaped. Wher
they are stationary they rest on a track
below which, at intervals Of two feet
are electric coils arranged to deliver
the magnetic lines of force against the
resisting aluminium Of the car.
AS soon as the electric influence Is
set in motion the coils, instead Of at
