FALLS HYPNOTIC
VICTIMS, NINE DIE

to 90, a reinforced steel railing be-
ing the only obstacle placed here to
safeguard the lives of sightseers.
It is virtually impossible to leap
over the railing directly into the
cataract, and, those with suicidal
tendencies must first hurl them
selves in the rushing Niagara river
and be carried over the brink.
Witnesses to suicides have said
that in most cases the victims APP
parently regret the step taken after
eaping into the river and fight I'M
availingly to regain shore.
The speed of the river as it
reaches the cataract, witnesses said
in every case proves too strong and
the person is swept over the Falls
while those on shore are helpless
to meet the emergency.
Veteran guides at the Falls are OF
the belief that a number of persons
who have plunged to their death
we're victims of the magnetism OF
the rushing torrents.
With the coming of summer Falls
and reservation authorities have in
dictated they will place larger force
on duty to watch for persons
suspected.

ability, however trivial it may seem,
that does not yield readily to treat
ment should call for special exam
ination for evidence of tuberculosis
