Boys Get 1850 Volt
Shock, Lucky to LiUe.

Hallock-A narrow escape from death
by electrocution was experienced by
John and Lawrence Docken, farm boys
residing near Hallock. Playing with an
old automobile chain directly under an
interstate power line, they tossed it
into the air, where it became entangled
with the high line and hung suspended
just out of reach Not thinking of the
electricity, and wishing to recover the
chain, one of the boys climbed upon
the others shoulders to reach it. Being
grounded, the full force of the charge
got them as they touched the chain, and
1880 volts of electricity went through
their bodies from one to the other.
One lost consciousness and was revived
with pail of cold water. The young
ster that had touched the chain got his
hand severely burned, while the other
had two holes burned in his back where
his brothers legs gripped him. His
feet were also scorched to the bone.
Aside from considerable pain due to the
burns, both boys seem to be all right.
The fact that the ground was dry to
give a complete ground saved their
lives, as that charge is sufficient to
cause instant death.

BIG INCREASE in
POSTAL SAVING
Sales of $45,SS1.25 in Postal
Savings Bonds Reported by
Postmaster Brown.

/, Keeping pace with a national average
attained by other cities of a similar
population, the sale of United States
postal savings bonds is brisk at the
Ely postoffice, according to Norman
Brown, postmaster, During the ten
months last year, when the bonds were
placed on the market, until July 20, this
year, Ely residents have purchased a
total in various denominations OF
S45, 881 Is.
The popular postal savings bonds were
placed on the market for the first time
in March, 1895. For the ten months
period from that date to the end Of the
year, national purchases amounted to a
maturity value of $3.50 100000 or an
average daily sale for each business day
for that period of approximately 81 ,OOO,-
600 maturity value.
Purchases from January to July 6,
1886, represent maturity value OF
S241 100000 or an average daily sale of
approximately 81, 535 900 for each bust
ness day, rejecting so per cent in
crease in the average daily sales for
the year 1886 over 1895.
The savings bonds are sold in de-
nominations from $25 to 81 900, maturity
value. The $10O maturity value bonds
at SIS purchase price are proving the
most popular The bond natures exact
ly ten years from it's issue date for a
sum one third more than its purchase
price.

Match Breaker Reduces
Fire Hazard In Woods.

1.-THE careless smoker is a forest en-
envy. The careful smoker is a forest
friend" says the United States Forest
Service. Careless smokers-who neglec-
ted few simple precautions caused
Al ,845 fires last year, or % per cent of
all forest fires.
Careless smokers started more fires
than were started by railroads, logging,
and debris burning, more than three
times the number caused by carelesSly
left campfires and more than three
times the number set by lightning.
A real woodsman always breaks his
matches in two before casting them
aside-a little habit which makes sure
that every match is "out," says the
Forest Service. He also brushes out the
fire in pipe ashes, cigar or cigarette
butts on a rock or in mineral SOIL He
does not even throw dead" butts. into
brush, leaves, or pine needles. He drops
them into the dust of trail or road and
tramples them, to be doubly sure they
are dead.
The careful smoker not only observes
these rules but while travelling through
forest, brush, or grassy land smokes
only in a safe place where there is no
inflammable material or inside vehicle
with an ash receptacle.

Everybody Should be
Skilled in Breathing Aid.

One of the most important first aid
measures for every layman to be
familiar with is artificial respiration.
Members of the Public Health Edu-
cation committee of the Minnesota
State Medical association today urge
everyone including the boys and girls
to take the following simple instruc-
tons and practice them Immediately
SO that they will be able to put them
to use without delay and without losing
their heads in case of need. The emer-
gencies in which artificial respiration
may save a life include not only drown
ings but APPROPRIATIONS from gas and
even failure to breathe in the presence
of some disease conditions.
1. Lay the patient face down, one
arm extended, the other bent at the
elbow Turn the face outward resting
it on the hand or wrist of the bent arm.
2. Kneel, straddling the patients
thighs.
g. Place the palms of your hands on
the small of the patients back, the little
fingers just touching the lowest ribs.
4. With your arms straight, swing
forward gradually, bringing the weight
of your body to bear upon the patient.
Take about two seconds for this oper-
alton.
5. Immediately swing backwards to
remove the pressure.
6. After two seconds, swing forward
again. Repeat the operation II to Is
times a minute.
Z. While you are applying artificial
respiration, have some one else loosen
tight clothing. Keep the patient warm
and give nothing to drink until the
| patient is conscious.
8. Continue until the patient breathes
again or until expert help arrives to
relieve you. Sometimes it is necessary
to continue artificial respiration for -four
hours or more.

Partners % Years Are
Grandparents Same Day.

Wanamingo-For twenty-eight years
partners in business. Adolph K. Syver-
son and Martin o. Syverson of Wan
amingo last week became grandfatherS
on the same day and less than hour
apart. Daughters of each of them gave
birth to baby daughters. The first baby
to arrive was born to Mrs. Lloyd john
son, daughter of Adolph,i in Minneapolis.
The other baby was born to Mrs. Kent
Bergum, Martins daughter, in Roches-
ter 20 minutes later. The two partners
locked up shop that day, and Mr.. and
Mrs Adolph motored to Minneapolis
and Mr.. and Mrs. Martin motored to
Rochester to greet the new babies and
pay brief visit to their daughters and
Sons-in-law 1t was the first grand
child for each of the two partners in
business, who are also brothers.

ClheZNApSHOT CUILRo
SNATCHINC THE SUNBEAMS 49,

ITAVE you ever tried to photo
i graph sunbeams? They make
beautiful pictures and are witness
to your Photographic skill.
Summer and autumn months are
especially good for sunbeam pic
lures. Often when the weather is
threatening rain or has just cleared
from a shower you will see these
bands of light streaming down from
the sky through openings in the
clouds. You see them too in coun-
try roads shaded by tall trees that
spread a canopy Of leaves over the
roadway. The beams come down
through the openings in the canopy
and when the background OF the
scene Is dark in tone they will be
conspicuously outlined. Again in the
city streets where there are elevat-
ed railroad structures, you often see
shafts of light coming down through
the trestles. Sometimes, too, they
appear in ravines where waterfall
gives off mist.
In each case it means that the air
is filed with vapor or dust particles,
"the gay NOES that people the sum
beams" as poet called them,
doubtless without thinking that 1t
is these notes that are chiefly re-
sponsible for making the sunbeams
visible.
OF course, for a good picture
sunbeams need a frame or set
ting, clouds, trees, some Of the land
scape, objects in the city streets.
For this 1t is usually necessary to
expose longer than you would II the
sunbeams were not present. This
means in most instances time ex-
posure of about one second and a
small stop opening, although a snap
shot may do for bands OF light
sharply outlined against dark
clouds, or other dark background.
Sometimes these light paths appear
during a summer shower, and, II pic
tured thus, the longer exposure Is
advisable.
However, to give specific instruc-
lions for catching sunbeams on your
film is really futile, considering the
varying light conditions under
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-08-13

much the same fix. In fact the plight
of the farmer-labor party is consider
ably worse than that of Mr.. Christian
son.
Mr. Christensen, while he was COVER
nor, was the best vote-getter that Min
nesota has ever seen. He ran for gov
ernor three times, increasing his plur-
atty each time He was first elected
with a plurality of 10000. He won his
second term with a plurality of 10000
and his third term with the humping
est plurality ever received by a candi-
date for governor in Minnesota-322, 900.
incidentally his total vote for the third
term, 549,857, was the highest vote ever
cast for a governor in Minnesota.
Floyd B. Olson, Christianson's OPP
ponent today for the United States
Senate, has also served three terms as
governor and was elected by large votes.
He cannot show the gains in plurality
obtained by Christensen, however.
Governor Olson was first elected with
a plurality of 183, 5000, the second time by
$4,000, but fell off the third time to
72, 900.
Wallowing miserably in the farmer
labor Slough of Despond of the 1896
primary, the Minnesota Misleader
clutches desperately at the extraor-
binary fact that ''the votes of Magnus
and Benson together were greater than
the vote of Mr.. Nelson" Thanks aw-
fully for calling attention to it. What
you mean is that Magnus and Benson
together almost didn't get as many votes
as Martin Nelson.
Two can play at the game of COM
bining two candidates against one
Nelson and Gilbert together pretty
nearly got twice as many votes a!
Benson, the chosen candidate of thu
farmer-labor party.

Antipathy for Snakes

Mans antipathy for snakes is q very
strange human trait. There are those
who believe this universal dislike dates
back to the Garden of Eden when the
serpent induced Eve to entice Adam
to eat the forbidden fruit and that
from then onward men have been wag-
ing q relentless war on them, giving
them no quarter. Scientists do not
agree with this ancient superstition.
They claim that If the trait were her
editary babies would fear and dislike
snakes. Instead, babies and children
are not afraid of them until they learn
1t from their parents, and which &C.
