SOUL HAS WEIGHT
Scale Dropped Three-fourths Of an
Ounce When Man Died.

Boston, Jan. 9.-Dr. Duncan Nc
Dougall Of Haverhill, says he has
found the weight of the soul OF a dy-
ing
MY first subject was a man dying
of tuberculosis" he said. 1T seem
ed to me best to select a patient dy-
ing with a disease that produces ex-
haustion, the death occurring with
little or no muscular movement, be-
cause in such a case the beam could
be kept perfectly at balance and any
loss occurring readily noted.
THE patient was under observa-
ton three hours and forty minutes
before death. lying on a bed arrang-
ed on a light framework built upon
very delicately balanced platform
beam scales. The patients comfort
was looked after in every way. al
though he was practically moribund
when placed on the bed. He lost
weight slowly at the rate OF one
ounce an hour, due to evaporation
OF moisture in respiration and evapo-
ration OF perspiration. During all
three hours and forty minutes l kept
the beam end slightly above balance
near the upper limiting bar In order
to make the test more decisive IL 1t
should come.
AT the end of three hours and
forty minutes he expired, and sud
denly, coincident with death. the
beam end dropped with an audible
stroke, hitting against the lower
limiting bar and remained there
with no rebound. The loss was as
certained to be three-fourths OF an
ounce. This loss of weight could
not be due to evaporation of respira-
tory moisture and p~erspiration, be-
cause that had already been deter
mined to go on. in his case, at the
rate OF one-sixtieth Of an ounce a
minute, whereas this loss was sud-
den and large-three-fourths OF an
ounce in a few seconds"

RICHARDS PRIMARY
Indications That Law VIII BE Re
pealed by Legislature.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 9.-After spend
ing several days at Pierre Allen r.
Fellows, chairman OF the republican
county committee. declares that the
sentiment at the legislature Is almost
overwhelmingly In favor of repeating
the Richards primary" law.
Sentiment in favor of the Ruhl-
man resolution is practically unani-
NOUS" Mr.. Fellows said. 1.-THE Rich
ards primary law should be replaced
by a law providing for a direct pri-
mary for county offices and the leg
islative ticket, circuit judges and
United States congressman and SEN
ators. At this primary election. del
egates to the state convention should
be chosen to nominate the state tick
ct and form the party platform.
There are some who think the gov
ernor and lieutenant governor might
be included with the candidates TO
be nominated by direct primary, but
hat is a point not yet settled.
Many members think the regis
tration feature of the Richards 'pri-
mary law should be retained, with
an amendment for registration I'M
der oath by mail. AT Pierre | found
considerable talk approving the re-
peal of the Richards primary law
With changes such as those indicat-
ed there is no doubt of its repeal by
an overwhelming majority. Its re-
peal will probably be one of the first
measures to pass"
Mr.. Fellows was asked his opinion
of the present legislature.
1T is a very strong one," he re-
piled. Individually and collective
ly the members are excellent men,
A great many have had experience in
the last or previous legislatures. II
is the OF opinion that they
will perform all duties in a manner
entirely satisfactory to the state"

summers are not very hot, the mean
temperature being about SO degrees,
and the winters here are also mild,
the temperature falling but little be-
low 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Through
out southern and central Germany
the same mildness in weather, in
general, predominates. But in West
Prussia, Posen, Silesia and East
Prussia, the regions affected by pres
ent war operations, winter is savage
and summe oppressive.
Russian Poland, whose most
southerly boundary is north of the
latitude of Winnipeg, has a winter
somewhat similar TO the winter OF
New England. An even cold, with
little snow, but with often razor
characterizes the central plain of
Russian Poland, where the greatest
operations in the eastern theater are
now taking place. In northern and
central Galicia winter becomes more
severe and trying. There is a great
er snowfall, lower temperatures. and
the winds from the steppes of the
north are still more frequent and
much more difficult TO Withstand.
Icy gales for days at a time shiek
out of the north over Galicia's plains.
Most of the waters in this eastern
theater of war freeze over early. All
the rivers of the Wheat sea basin
are frozen over by November 20 and
remain frozen on an average of 167
days. The rivers of the Baltic and
Caspian sea basins freeze about De-
cember 20. The Volga remains froz-
en- about $50 days in the north and
about ninety days as Astrakhan. The
Don remains frozen 100 to 112 days;
the Dnieper. SO to 1872 days; the
lDuna, 125 days, and the Vistula
about 80 days at Warsaw.

very serious disaster happened here
Monday morning when the roof OF
the high school building caught fire
from sparks flying from the chimney.

Yankton-The vital statistics for
December for Yankton county show

riages. The totals for the year 1914
shows 343 births, 169 deaths, 143
marriages and IA divorces. The
birth rate has only been exceeded by
one year. 1912, since the official rec
ord has been kept, while the deaths
are less in number than eyer record

He was found dead by a neighbor
who went to his place with the inten-
tion of asking Price to go hunting

Garretson-Within a short time
after returning from a visit with rel
atives at Sioux City. Mrs. Frank
Wright, wife of a well known Gar
retson man and herself prominent in
the community, died without warn

failure and a bursted vein. She was

failed Bancroft bank has been pur-
chased by a syndicate of capitalists
who have decided to establish a new

the numerous hunts organized to as

not make any apparent showing in

not likely that any effort will be
made to provide a bounty for the

complaint, especially where attempts
are made to grow alfalfa, as the ami
mails gather in the fields and eat the
