PERPETUAL MOTION IS H[RE AT LA Seattle Youth May Have Tapped exhaustible Reservoirs of I ture's Energy-Electrical Expe Puzzled but Inclined to Belie Trickery Somewhere-Not I possible. Has Alfred M. Hubbard, 19 year Seattle boy, tapped the inexhausti reservoirs of nature's energy and h nessed to the use of man the illin able power that permeates the u verse ? Hubbard has announced the perf tion of an invention he terms an " mospherie power generator,' and ma claims that caused Seattle's laedi electrical engineers to doubt the e dences of their senses and to pause L fore they condemned as folly the i sertions of the youth. With the apparatus, inll appeara a small coil of wire about six inclh in diameter, surrounding a lern' nently magnetic core eight inches lo the entire cont rivance easily carri on a man's hand, Hlubbard gave a dei onstration several mile-, from his I oratory that, regardless of the prin pIes involved, ' evertl Seattle engi cers declared without, parallel in ceh trical history.

Carl Edward Magnusson, acting )l dean of the University of Washingtoi c college of Engineering, declined eve e to hazard a gues sas to the principle ~" involved in the device. - "It sounds like trickery to me anl I can hardly believe that the experi ment as described to me actually tool ,c- place," he said. "I will not ventur< it- an opinion until I have seen it." de IC. F .

"I watched a great belt flit by me , day after day," he related, "an I I noted as thousands before me had, that I could draw an electric spark from, the belt with my finger. I had always been interested in electricity and had studied a great deal from books since I was a small boy. One night I conceived the idea that devel oped later into the generator. I will not say that it utilizes-in any way the current derived by friction as from the belt. That is not accurate. I am not pripared to divulge the nature of the actual translation lof energy." Hubbard says he can obtain four kilowatts, equivalent to more than five horse power from a contrivance weigh ing less than 12 pounds, and that he can build a generator less than 18 feet in length to develop, 18,000 horse pow er, or sufficient electrical energy to drive the new battleship New Mexico. Hubbard offers to build for $50 a generator large enough to drive a motor car, but much smaller than the present engines. The Hubbard gener-. ator, according to its inventor, would give the airplane unlimited flying ramree.I The young man says he worked 18 hours a day for two years before he came to Seattle and during the year since perfecting the apparatus.

Many who suffer from backache and weak kidneys are unnaturally irrit able, fretful and nervous. Not only does constant backache "get on the nerves," but bad kidneys fail to eli minate all the uric acid from the sys tem, and uric acid irritates the nerves, keeping one "on edge," and causing rheumatic, neuralgic pains. When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney Pills, the medicine so well-recoitmended by Manning people. Read this Manning resident's statement: Mrs. B. rF . Louder, Dinken St., says: "I had a slight attack of kidney trouble about three years ago which started with smart pains through the small of my back. Headaches bother ed mte a good deal, and sometimes 1 was so nervous I couldn't hold any thing in my hand. I was bothered with dizzy spells, too, and black specks often came before me, in fact, I was feeling all out of fix. A friend told mne about I)oan's Kidney Pills and I got some. )o:an's not. only helped me but cured me entirely of the trouble as I haven't been bothered Prize te, at all dealers. Don't. simply ask for a kidney remedy-get l)oan's Kidney Pills--the same that Mrs. Louder had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.

The nickel purchased to manufac ture bullets is being used in the ar senal to make five cent pieces for British IIonduras currency. There is a worli shortage of locomotives and railway ears.
