STRANGE POWER MAKES
GIRLS CLOTHES VANISH

BELGRADE, June 2S.--A peas
ant girl In the village of Bukovtche
is reported possessed by some
strange power Of radiation so that

dressed her clothes turn after a
few hours first into something re.
sembling a spiders web, and then
literally into thin air.
Naturally such an inconvenient
person has disturbed the villagers,
though probably less from consid.

standards Of propriety than from
superstitious fears that she Il pos.
