How Quickly and Neatly We Can Do Job Work SNAPSHOTS OF SOULS Henry Fi ica Believes Spirits Can Efe Pictured Leaving Body. THE SUBJECT HIS LIFE STUDY Scientist and Singer Asks Permission of Hospital Authorities to Try Ex periments—Says Watchers Don’t Soe Soul's Flight as They Are Hypnotized. The unheard of claim that lie lias discovered a method by which he can photograph the human soul was ad a need the other night by Henry Price, a retired professor of music, at Mount Ve. 1 >n, X. V. Mr. Price announced that I • is actually seeking penulssi ni to inaki experiments at liellevue hos pital that ill demonstrate the extraor dinary sole, ifie value of Ids discovery, says the New York American. Mr. Price says he lias made great headway In ids researches as a result of the recent declaration by scientists in Boston that they had lieeu able to weigh the human soul and had found that it balanced the scales at a good half our^e. Mr. Price, who was for forty years the baritone soloist of Trinity church. Now York, says he has made the sub ject a life study, and he is convinced that the soul has a real existence and that the reason it cannot lie seen in taking its flight from the body is be cause those present at the time of death are invariably hypnotized. The theory the soul really exists, Professor Price says, is borne out by the fact that the body lightens Immediately after death. His jilan is to photograph the soul as it departs from the body with a num ber of quick snapshots. It would lie impossible, he says, to hypnotize the camera, as it records many tilings not visible to the naked eye. In speaking of the subject the other day Professor Price said: “I would like to have about a half dozen scientific men in the room as witnesses to the experiment, and I would also want a stop watch to re cord the transition.” “Have you formed any idea of what the soul looks like?” asked a reporter. “I don’t know what it looks like,’ replied Mr. Price, “but I am sure It does not weigli more than a dram." "What, In your opinion, becomes of the soul after It has taken its flight?" Mr. Price was asked. "According to my belief,” was the reply, "the soul does not really take its flight. It passes into another body, but It has to be removed by some one whom we will call an angel or an agent of the Deity. The angel has to remove It from the body while it is yet warm and put it into another being. If the person doesn’t deserve another life, then the Deity doesn’t send for ills soul, and be is dead like a common animal.” Professor Price was asked if he bad formed any idea regarding the organ ism of the soul. "Necessarily," replied he, “the or ganism must be very small. It may be like an oyster or a mollusk. We cannot see its organism, yet we know it has life.” Mr. Price says all clergymen ougbt to be interested in the success of hia experiments, because if the corporeal existence of the soul is proved it will put an end to infidelity. As yet the authorities at Bellevue have not taken upyProfessor Price’s ideas. POETICAL MARRYING SQUIRE. Hew a Montpelier Man and a Widow Were United at Pennvilie. Lee Rhotou. the Montpelier (Ind.) man whose matrimonial disappointment formed the basis of an appeal to the clerk of the Jay circuit court to take back a license Issued to him to marry Mrs. Emma McPherson, a widow, of c jar Pennvilie, Ind., is now perhaps glad that his wish was not granted, for the two are now married, says a Portland (Ind.) special dispatch to the Indianapolis News. Perseverance and repeated declarations of his love for hia once promised bride won the day, and the words were said by Justice Cartwright at Pennvilie which finally made the two discordant hearts beat as one. This Is what he said: Barefooted I stand, With the law in my hand. These words I pronounce: As a matter of course. You are now man and wife, for better or worse. On the sea of life I give you this start. Live happy together till death do you part. Federal Control of Forests.

John Kendrick Bangs contributes to Harper's Weekly these interesting views on a current topic of wide appeal: Oh, I am a bold nature fakir. With a bubbling fountain pen. I write up the beasts of my maker. And tell what they might have been. I’ve told strange tales of pink monkeys Who talked o’er a telephone; And yarns of green'violet donkeys I've met in the torrid zone. My story of "Curly the Boa,” Who sat on a sausage links And hatched out some seventy-four Small caddies wiUi black woolly kinks Is now in its hundredth edition And makes other naturalists blue. Although, I must make the admission, It Isn’t quite all of It true. But now I am filled witb repining. With worry and trouble and fear.
