RECENT STORM
y ;: (: = :: :: ;: !. {: {: :: y :. {: ;: {.

Now that people who were living
in the storm center last Thursday
have recovered from their fright, they
have begun to tell good jokes on
themselves, and just what their feel
ings were when the blow came.
Perhaps the most ludicrous spec
tacle was that presented by Bob
Wimbish, brother of the late W, :.
Wimbish of this city, who was at
the office of the oil mill when the
storm struck. The ripping of the
roof from part of the mill, and the
to rattle man possessed of less
nerves than Mr.. Wimbish, and he,
following the primal instinct of safe
ty, opened a trap door in the floor
which he surmised led to a safe re-
treat The door led to the pit be-
meath the big platform scale for
weighing cotton seed in wagons, and
in this same pit was about two
feet of mud and slush that Mr. VIM
bish did not notice in his excite.
ment. When the storm was over,
and he emerged and took a survey
of himself, he asserted that he was
ruined" But on second thought he
stated most vehemently that he owed
no man an apology for crawling into
that hole when the elements took
charge of terrestrial affairs; on the
other hand, he was very thankful that
the hole was so conveniently located.

Caution Only to Be Stopped.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 1.-THE Norwegian
ship Hansen has just arrived at Shore
ham. England. from Sweden. after be-
ing eleven months on a trip which ordi-
narily occupies less than fortnight.
The excessive caution. of the skipper
in avoiding war dangers was respon-
sible for the delay.
A few days after the Hansen left
Sweden the war broke out, and the
vessel Immediately put into a Nor
wegian port to wait for things to set
tie down. Several times during the
autumn and winter the skipper resolved
to make new start, but each time
he was deferred by news of mine felds
or submarines activities in the vicinity.
! 1t was April when he finally got away
and then. in order to avoid submarines
he took d roundabout course north OF
Scotland. and west of ireland.
His caution was in vain. for of the
south Irish coast he was stopped by a
German submarine. but after some de-
lay was allowed to proceed.

SAYS LEPERS MAY MARRY.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, June 15.-The Russian
medical council has informed the hoiy
synod that there is no objection 70
lepers marrying lepers, although the
union of leper to healthy mate
should not be allowed. This is the coun-
ellis answer to the question raised by
,e Russian Church.
The influence of the parents on their
offspring in the spread of the disease
age of infant leprosy is'very small. only
about per cent. Fertility also de-
creases among lepers as the disease ad-
vances.
Leprosy is not believed to be a heredi-
tary disease, but one due to contact.
For a leprous mother to part with her
infant is painful. although necessary if
the child is to be saved. But marriage
brings at least some happiness into the
tragedy of diseas e-stricken lives.
