Flock of Water Fowl on Journey 10
the Southland Witnessed by Many
For the past three nights wild
geese and wild ducks have been flying
southward in large numbers. Large
fiocks can be seen flying low and very
slow, indicating that the fowl have
been flying for some distance.
Gunuers report that the bayshore
marshes are we'll filed with ducks and
that the cunning is fine. Geese. how

to feed. When the geese begin TO fly
southwark, the people in the rural
sections commence TO make active
preparations for cold weather, and
as a general rule, it follows very
closely on the tracks Of the fowl.

Denver Man Tells of Being Able to Weigh Any Part of the

 Dr. Spivak described the appartus which he has contrived by which it is possible to weigh different parts of the living human body By means of a pair of scales with sliding weights made like a seasaw and by the aid of complicated mathematical formulae the separate weight Of any part of the body can be determined
 In his address as chairman of the section on Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Abdominal Surgery, Dr. Thomas s. Cullen of Baltimore reviewed+the pro 1 cess Of abnormal surgery in the last twenty-five years, pointing out that it is now possible for any competent sur geon to open and explore the abdo- men with perfect safety to the patient He told of the wonderful advances that abdominal surgery had made in the last twenty-five years and showed that the death rate from abdominal operations had decreased from 25 per cent to about per cent.
 Two papers on ulcer of the stomach ! presented before the Section on Sur ! gerry attracted general discussion pr. William J. Mayo of Rochester, Minn. stated that in his experience ulcer of l the stomach is more frequent in men than in women and that it is often mistaken for cancer. Ulcers of the stomach aften cause deformities which seriously interfere with diges- ton and may be followed by cancer. ] The relation between ulcer and can cer Of the stomach was discussed by l Dr. A.

Recent ad yauces in Maryland, New York and Massachusetts providing for sanitary districts and reasonably paid health officers encourage the hope Of better
