which make his voice phenomenal
are. vocal cords Of unusual density

great effect in tone production; res

a rare musicianship, memory. inter

Il am of the opinion that his
voice, which is a world voice,
should be presented before the pub

and limitations, without the So
called extreme stunts and that his
future voice, which can now be de-
termined with reasonable certainty
to be tenor. can best be developed

that the dog was in 'in the exercise

colHded with the automobile ana
shuffled off this mortal coil.
With equal solemnity. in one of
| the most remarkable documents ever
filed in Suffolk superior court, Don
aghue replies:
That the said dog was CROSSING g
the street in fl ont of the defendant S
automobile and that as he reached
! the center OF the street he suddenly
turned and revolved in circle,
swapping and hitting at other animals
that were hidden from the defend
ants view by the long hair of the
dogs tail.
And the dog becoming despond-
ent at his inability TO dislodge the
said small animals. hurled himself
under the defendants automobile
