council meets to consider it thoroughly and
70 point out to the Commissioner and to the
bureau chief the necessary and most efhes-

amendments desirable in the avoidance OF

Of the council:
at has rendered valuable assistance to the
department throughout the year in the critical
study of established procedures and IN the
consideration of new measures. Its most I'M
portant services were performed in connec-
ton with the revision of the sanitary CODE
The devotion of the members OF this volun-
tary body to the tasks assigned to them merits
the thanks of the department and OF the city.
The city charter very wisely confers broad
powers on the Department OF Health. 1t
shall be the duty of the Board OF Health, 1t
saws, ito aid in the enforcement Of and so tar
as practicable to enforce, all laws OF this state
applicable in said district e. G., the city and the
waters adjacent thereto), to the preservation
of human life or to the care, promotion or pro-
lection of health. . :" There are left to it,
therefore, plenty of new worlds TO conquer.
Commissioner Goldwater, for instance, thinks
that il should have something very definite to
say about automobile fatalities and should
look into the matter of safety devices IN FAC
tories. There is every reason to believe that
under his progressive leadership the depart
ment will continue rapidly to increase its in'
iuence and jurisdiction for the good of the
community.

accompanying different thoughts and emotions.
An angry thought creates a miniature tornado
il the ether-a veritable brainstorm. Loving,
neaceful thoughts, on the other hand, shower down
like a benediction from on high. The difference
in these thought photographs is very striking
Tney represent the effects upon the surrounding
ether Of the nervous currents set up in the brain
by means of certain thoughts and emotions. For
e,.rv thought there is a definite brain change;
modern science has proved that Now we go
stem further and show that accompanying this
brain change there is an etheric disturbance, and
that this etheric disturbance can be photo
graphed
10 is only what we might have expected-only
logical deduction from what has gone before Yet
it surprises US at first, and arouses the same kind
of disbelief and ridicule as the X-rays and wire
less telegraphy did when they were first an
nounced.
Doubtless each human brain is sending out
every minute countless etherc vibrations that
radate outward into space. In teepathy these
b.ain waves operate just like wireless telegraphy.
They impress solid objects. They can be re-
fected by a mirror-just when we "see' a solid
object in a mirror we don't really it, but only
ether vibrations which have been reflected by the
glass the real object being long distance away.
II is the same with thought. At times 1t can be
made solid and objective enough TO reflect light.
Then it can be photographed Professor lie bon'
in his laboratory has already shown US that II
is possible by purely physical means, to staoilize
electric currents that they can be photographers
For the time being he created matter at the
points Of electric needles. We do much the same

THE PHYSICAL STUFF THAT THOUGHTS ARE
MADE OF.

MADE OF.
In all these cases seem TO have instances OF
Indirect thought photography because the plates
were marked, apparently, by sort of mud emana-
tion which issued from the hands of the psychic
and impressed the plates. There is no doubt
that we all of US possess such nerve fluid for
every time we move muscle this fluid runs along
our nerves and moves the muscle desired The
trouble with most of US is that cannot project
this energy beyond the limits of the body-we
cannot proiect it into space, it were, and do
ANYTHING with it there. Certain peculiarly con-
STUFFED individuals can. They can manipulate or
use this nerve energy, and shape 1t by their
thought, and then project it out onto some soid
object near by This is what impresses the photo-
graphic plate in such cases.
There is certainly such radiation coming from

On June 3d. 1914, 2G94} vessels having
a total gross tonnage of 1.92S68S were
under American registry. A year later
the number had decreased to 267Ol, but
the average tonnage was S,3s94c.
1.-THE decline in the number Of vessels

the normal result of the development of
water transportation" says the report.
1.-THE size of vessels has been steadily
increasing since steel and steam came
into general use. In tonnage and value
the merchant shipping under the Amer1-

GREAT SALES Of
NATIONAL FOREST
TIMBER TRACTS

Washington. Dec. 24.-Bids have been
accepted by the department Of agricul-
ture for two large bodies of national
100000 board feet. One is in California
and the other in Utah. With one ex-
ception, these are by far the most i'm
portant sales made this fiscal year,
which is expected by forestry officials
to run considerably above last year in
receipts from timber sales. the first
five months having shown an increase
of nearly 40 per cent.
The California sale is on the plumas
national forest in the Sierra mountains
The most valuable timber is sugar pine
for which S3.2J per thousand was bid
with an estimated total of nearly CO.
100000 board fet on the tract. For yell
low pine, of which the amount is put
at over 100000 feet, $3.50 was bid.
Douglas fir white fir, and incense CEDAR
which have a much lower market value,
brought an average of only about 20 cents
a thousand for total of over 10000
feet. The purchaser will be allowed an
operating period of Is years, besides IL
year at the beginning for the construc-
ton of necessary improvements; but the
prices to be paid are subject to readjust-
ment every five years,
The Utah timber is in the Wasatch Ma
tional Forest, and will he cut chiefly for
railroad ties, 1t comprises, according to
the governments estimate, s., 100 600 board
feet of green and dead lodgepoe pine, En-
gelmann spruce. and Alpine fir. The sale
price is 10 cents for each tie cut and half

FIRE DESTROYS BARN.
Seven Horses Ierish-Blaze Thought
to Have Been started by Incendiary.

St. Adams, Dec. 26-The large horse
and COW barn belonging to William
Pelkey of the Newton road was destroyed
yesterday morning between two and three
o'clock in a fire which Mr.. Pelkey thinks
was Of incendiary origin. Seven horses.
about four tons of hay and 800 bushels OF
grain were burned also tool shed and
pig pen which We're so near the barn that
II was impossible to have them.
Mr.. Pelkey's family first knew Of the
IRE through a telephone message from
John Sanders, who lives nearby and who
had discovered the fire. The hay was all
in flames and it was impossible for any
one to enter the barn long enough to save
much Of the contents. Mr. Pelkey and his
SON, Frank Pelkey, did teaming and had
excellent equipment for the work All the
horses were burned. Mr. Pelkey had one
COW for the use of the family and that
was saved; also a pig. one buggy, and a
cutter. Beside the livestock. etc, Mr..
Pelkey lost one new single buggy, three
sets of double harnesses, forks shovels,
and othe tools.
The place on the Newton road was pur-
chased by NJ. Pc!key only a few years
ago ana at that time he put up new
buildings. The loss is estimated at 5000
