Music of Talking Machine
At Night Is a MgSterg

An injunction to restrain a haunted
talking machine from talking TO itself
during the nighttime.
The refractory conversation box Is
the property OF captain Michael Boyle,
who lives on River street in Dorches-
ter lower mills. Today the weird per-
formances Of the magic talking ma
chine were much discussed in that
neighborhood.
During the night the doughty fire
captain heard the machine playing
weird melody like sweet bells tangled
out OF tune" and talking erratically
to itself. as IL it were intoxicated. He
arose and shut it off No record was
In evidence. He had no sooner got
back to bed when the strange tune
began again. Captain Boyle arose
again and once more after an "avaunt
yes" succeeded in reducing the ma
chine TO silence.
The thing happened a third time
with no human agency In evidence and
the captain gave it up. The uncanny
music continued until almost morn
ing
Captain Boyle is inclined to think
the phenomenon was due TO some ac-
ton Of the electrical storm on the
delicate apparatus OF the grapha-
phone.
