HEAVY WIND STORM

Northwest Gales Cause Many Small

AHl1 - sunni mystery QaN.
Residents of Annapolis and sur
rounding sections, in fact the whole
Atlantic seaboard from HBtteras to
Eastport, Me-, is being swept by
heavy northwest gales today.
IL is the first real touch of wintry
weather in this section, and the Off
cial foreeasters predict sharp drop
in temperatures by nightiall, with
snow in the mountain regions of the
State, Starting shortly after 10
o'clock this morning with a heavy
furry of snow, that gave one visions
of an approaching blizzard, the wind
storm set in with all its fury, and
damages, more or less serious in
their nature, have been reported.
The elements were much the same
as the great blizzard of February,
1899. except that the storm Of that
year started late in the afternoon,
and ii showed continuously foI three
days. Today, however, the precipi-
tation lasted only about ten min
utes, and the weather prognostica-
tors see nothing but northwest
gales, with much colder tempera-
lures
The wind was biting cold and con-
tinued with increasing velocity
throughout the day. Owe rcoats were

make much progress. Walking with
the wind, it was easy Oae simply
had to loaf long and let the zephyrs
do the rest, but holding on to one s
hat was a real proposition, especially
for the males. Top pieces were
blown in every direction--over
fences, around the corners and down
the cutters.
Several persons were struck BY
small branches blown from trees
along the various streets, but no one
was hurt. Part of the fence around
the Chase Home property on Mary
land avenue was blown down The
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Compay, and the Annapolis Public
Utilities Company, suffered by the
storm. A number of telephone lines
in the city and county were put out
of commission, and electric light
wires were similarly damaged The
electric current was shut off entirely
at Intervals Of several minutes in
different sections Of the city.
There has been little or no move
ment among local shipping, because
of the rough weather on river and
bay.

ON TALKING C0LORED BABY.
Just Five Weeks Old - Read on

This is no advertisement, and, dear

fact before you start out reading this
article about the talking baby. The
infant was baptized yesterday and
crowds visited the house, the attend.
ing physician has now forbidden all

detriment of the child. DR.. r. B.

though ! canonot truthfully say that
all past rumors or assertions in this
case are true, for instance (when
travelling use the all-steel cars of the
Short Line.")
i, being the physician in attend
ance at the time of the birth of the
infant, December 2, 1918, do take
upon myself to state the facts in this
case to the public, as we'll as to the
medical world, for their considera-
tion. was called December 2,
1918, at 4 a. m, TO attend Mrs.
Aaron Tyler. No. 81 Acton Lane.
AT 8 a. m. she became mother of
an infant boy, which seemed, In all
particulars, perfectly normal, ex-
cept the child seemed 10 manifest
the signs of stillbirth. After a
thorough examination another physi-
clan was called in and il was
agreed that with rigid manipulation
practiced in such cases, respiration
might be established.
After a period of twenty minutes
had elapsed the baby made a peculiar
sound which was interpreted by sew
eral persons, including DIR. j. Ridout,
as disticnt WORD. As to myself, ]
did not give the sound any considera-
tion ss TO interpreted or express
sicI. further denied the rumor Of
the baby's talking, and attributed
the sound TO established respiration
and the air being forced into the in
faut's lungs through the forcetul
manipulations.
Since that time ha ye paid no
especial attention to said infant until
January 10, 1914, when / called to
set mother and child. and again made
a spt cial examination of the infant
in the presence of several persons.
At this time the child was heard Ito
my surprise) to speak in a norm 81
tone, very clearly and distinctly, yet
only uttering monosyllables. On
January IL. 1914, called 20 SEE the
baby again in the presence OF sew
eral. including DR.. Bernard Hughes of
Baltimore, Mrs. Lamb and Mrs. Geiss-
man, Of this city. The baby again
spoke, in normal tones, which could
be heard aud distinctly understood.
The child is perfectly normal as
TO form, yet an examination shows
an abnormal pulse, heart and respira-
ton, this being similar to thaC of an
adult. The baby's expression is
supernatural and IL does not cry even
at the expense of great torture. |
have ordered that none sees the baby
except the family and physician, and
for several days it be not molested,
as the great crowds of people gather
ing about the small room is detri-
ment to the welfare of the infant.
