STEERED BY SIXTH SENSE
kxploits Of 1IindfoIded Norwegian
1 Have Proved Puzzle to Expert
Danish Scientists.

Scientists in Denmark are puzzled
by a Norwegian, one Emil Knudsen,
who, although blindfolded and care
fully watched, steered steamer
through the intricate channels of the
harbor of Copenhagen, keeping a true
course and adrotly lodging other YES
sells. He explains this by claiming the
possession of sixth sense" G,j-'
Knudsen Is man of middle age.
When he came to Denmark from Chris
tiania, he became at once an object of
interest to both scientist and layman.
He3was put through many experiments
bysone Of the leading nerve specialists
Of Europe, and as result the spe.
cialist suggested the trip into the har-
Dor. Knudsen said that he could guide
himself anywhere without using his
eves, and a steamer was chartered to
put him to supreme test. Knudsen
had no knowledge of the harbor. He
requested that person knowing the
channel should hold two finger-t!ps
against the side Of his head. Profess
sOr Fridenreich consented to this, and
himself pressed two finger-tlps against
Knudsen's temples.
The man handled the wheel without
4 sign of nervousness or uncertainty.
II was impossible for him to see, yet
he took more than q dozen sharp cor
nefs and followed zigzag course
throughout. Allssthe scientists who
witnessed the demonstration said that
Knudsen' possesses mysterious pow
er that actually may be sixth sense.

PIONEERS CLEAR
CEMETERY PLOT

A party of Pioneers went out
to the Nenana cemetery yesterday
evening and cleared that portion OF
It allotted to them for the burial
Of their dead. The request for the
allotment of a certain portion of
the cemetery for the use of the
Pioneers was made some time ago
10 Mr.. F. D. Browne, by the local
igloo, and was readily granted.
The party which went out yes
terday was composed of Frank
Rourke, E. A. Williams, William
Taylor, J. a. Dyer, Martin Gilman,
Richard Inkstor. John Christopher
son, Tony Letray, J. J. O'Brien,
and Pat Crowley.
!. The necessary tools to work with
and the handcars used for the jour
ney were placed at the disposal OF
the oldtimers by the A. E. c. of,
fcials. The start was made shortly
after 6 p. m, two handcars being
used, and ere the party had pro-
ceeded very far along the road the
car ahead came to stop, but those
on the rear car would appear tc
have been oblivious Of this fact
with the result that a collision anG
mild panic resulted. However
there was no damage done and the
oldtimers went out to the come
terry, did the work that took them
there, and returned to town in {
couple of hours, well satisfied with
the progress made.
AS there is much yet to be done
they expect to make a few more
trips before the mosquitoes become
too numerous.

FINALLY SURDUE FOREST FIRE
Thousands of Volunteers Overcome Conflaeration Which Threatened
 Overwhelming Destruction.

A forest fire that threatened, in l3 days of unimpeded destruction, to con sume the whole of Angeles national forest, in southern California. was finally brought under control by the desperate efforts of hundreds of volun- teerS. The unceremonious drafting of curiosity seekers swelled the ranks of the fighters until, in one district alone. around Pomona. more than 1000 were working day and night to stay the on rushing flames. The kindling of tre- mendous back fires at cviNcal points, guided by airplane inspection, sue ceeded in holding the fires within the originating area. Many resorts and summer homes were menaced, but only few cabins were lost. As re suit of the fire, the city waterworks of Pasadena Is to be protected by a giant tirehreak. which will be con structed immediately by the rangers of the United States forest service.- Popular Mechanics Magazine.

GOLD LOST TO THE WORLD
cally Goes On Without Ceasing, Either Day or Night.

Every ship that goes 10 the bottom takes with her Il certain amount of gold. It may be only a few pounds worth or-as in the case of the fa- nous Lusitania-a million may be lost in minute.
 Every fire that occurs means a de- struction of gold and there is never q minut~. day or night, when scores of human habitations are not burning. London alone has 2,I00 fires yearly
 Besides all this. there is the matter of hoarding. In countries where banks are not found in every town. the peo- pie who have gold hide or bury it. In many cases they die without reveal ing the s ling place. In this way India M ie swallows up more than f50o.0o0 worth of gold yearly. China more than this, while Africa is at pres ent absorbing gold in this way at q rate of more than Il million pounds a year. The money is paid as wages to Kaflir laborers at the mines. and by them carried away to their kraal>, whence 1t never returns.

THE MAKING OF \ FAMOUS
 MEDICINE.
How Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reii- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's ills.
 Over $50, GOO pounds of various herbs are used annually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best.
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles.
 It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with tho skill and csre used in it's preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound which we are continually pub- fishing attest to it's virtue.

Purpose in Life.

Have purpose in living. Aim to be
somebody and TO do something. and to
know just what 1t is you mean to be
and do. Some people pity those who
fall short Of their ideals--the inventor
who fails, the statesman who is so far
in advance of his constituents that he
receives censure instead of praise. But
these are not the ones who need your
sympathy. Save your pity for those
who are drifting through life with
out a goal, who are living without a
purpose.
