tain itself in the air for about 10 sec

strong infants for so long a period as
80 seconds.
When 4 days old an appreciable In
crease in the infants strength may
be noticed, and che time during witch
IL can thus sustain itself Is about 2l3
minutes for 9S psr cent of babies. The

agree on Is that the shots were
wahout doubt intended for the

further beating by trying to stop
his father as he chased her. that
the boy received the buckshot.
Mrs. Ferguson, according to this
story, had fled the house, and as
she went out the back door. grabbed
a single barrelled shotgun hanging
on the porch.
Reaching the pump in the back
yard she called out as her husband
approached. for him not to come
