Hines, director general I of railroads, sustaining the motion of the defendant and granting a now trial. The rescript, which was drawn by Associate Justice Scott Wilson of Portland, is as follows: | The evidence discloses that the j plaintiff's intestate was clearly guilty of contributory negligence in rase his injuries resulted from attempting to alight or fulling from the train in ! which he was riding, j l tiloss a case where negligence is j presumed from the nature of the ac ; cidcnt, there must he some com i potent, evidence of the defendant's lack of care and that it contributed as a proximate cause of the injury. This case is barren of evidence that any lack of care on the part of the railroad company contributed to the deceased's injuries and the plaintiff must therefore fail unless she can bring the case within the rule of res ipsa loquitur. But this rule docs not go so fur ns to supply the necessity of proof as to how an injury occurred. It is only when the circnmstiyices are known j that the thing itself can speak. ’The i mere proof that an accident occurred raises no such persumption, or if oc curring under conditions in whirli persons are frequently injured with out negligence on the part of the de fendant. This rule Is not modified in a case where the plaintiff is by statute pre sumed to be himself in the exercise of due rare. An arbitrary rule as to the burden of proof does n-rt change the common experience of mankind on which the presumptions of negli gence as a basis for this rule are founded. And since the deceased's exposure to the peril which resulted in his death was in the first instance due to his cwn negligence, it would be ex tending the doctrine of “last clear chance” too far to apply it to a case where the only proof of later and in- j dependent negligence on the part of the defendant is the bare inferetic that since a fatal accident occurred j through the deceased being struck by a locomotive running in the usual j manner on a trd"k where persons i were not accustomed or allowed to j use as a thoroughfare, even though j the servants of th» railroad company operating the locomotive were aware that a man had disappeared from a j train which had but a short time be fore passed over the track on which thev were running, the railroad com pany must or in the exercise of due care should have discovered the de r ccased's peril in time to have avoid ed the accident, especially when the case is entirely devoid of evidence as to what the real nature of that peril was. When it is sought to establish a case upon inferences drawn from facts proven. Inferences based on | mere conjectures or probabilities will not support a verdict. Motion sustained. New trial granted. ___ TWO DIVORCES GRANTED AT THE SUPREME COURT TERM ADJOURNED TUESDAY The October term of the supreme judicial court for Kennebec county.

IS—Zion schools. of I which Wilbur Glenn Voliva, the j ! overseer of the colony, is president, j have adopted his new theories of a i flat world and the absence of grav- | ! itation, and the 1,000 grrade and high • school pupils believe them implicitly, ; according to their teachers. The public school maintained by the state board of education and at tended by the children of non-mem bers of Voliva's Christian-Catholic Apostolic church still teaches, how ever, that the world is a globe mov ing through limitless space and that it was the attraction of gravity which caused the apple to fall on Isaac Newton’s head. At the Zion schools the new course of study teaches that: The earth is a flat circular world, with a north pole in the exact cen ter. no south pole, and surrounded by a wall of Ice which keeps venture some .mariners from falling off the rim. That the earth has no motion, but remains stationary in space. That the sun is not millions of miles In diameter and 91,000.000 miles away, hut Is really a little orb 32 miles across and only 3,003 miles from the earth. j That the law of gravitation is a | fallacy and when objects are thrown I into the air they continue to rise un | til the force which propelled them is 1 ] expended, and then fall back to earth ; because they are heavier than air. j A standard map of the world, on : Christopher’s projection, is used in ! the schools to demonstrate the flat I world theory. This map, which 1s ■ used by navigators and scientists in making time and longitude calcula tions, differs from the usual Merca tor's projection familiar in other schools, in that it shows the earth as i i! would look to an observer directly above the north pole, with the con tinents and seas projected on a flat plane. As a result the north pole is in the center, and instead of a south ' pole the Antarctic regions are in- 1 dicated hv a white ring about the ; \ outer circumference of the circle, j This ring, according to Voliva, is the I ice. barrier which keeps mariners 1 from falling oft the edge of his flat 1 world. The Christopher projection was made 30 years ago. prior to the dis covery of the smith pole and before ( much was known about the Antarctic regions, so only a hare outline of portions of the southern Ice land is shown. Miss Mary Thompson, principal of the Zion school system, and an ar dent believer in the Vo] tv a theories, lias propounded a question which she. believes will trip scientists and nav igators. Showing on her flat map that thp tropic of Cancer. 43 degrees from the north pole, tv a s a much smaller circle than the tropic of Cap ricorn, 47 degrees farther away, Miss Thompson says: “Navigators on a globular earth would And if they were to sail com pletely around cither of these tropics that they would be identically the. same length. On a flat earth, how ever, the tropic of Capricorn wouJd he much larger than the tropic of Cancer, and would take much longer to sail around, because on a flat earth Cancer would he nearer the center, or north pole. Why don’t some of the globular earth believer# try sailing around the two tropics and find out whether they or we are correct? The globular people certainly can't? prove curvature of the earth." Miss Kva Baker, teacher of geog raphy. demonstrates to her classes that the sun is only a tiny orb a few thousand miles away. Instead of an rib millions of miles in diameter and f 1.000,000 miles from the earth. If the sun was so large, she says, it would light up all the world, instead of confining its hottest .raj s to a 3.900 mile wide belt between the two tropics. Voliva himself, in a recent sermon at Shiloh Tabernacle, said God certainly would not have made a sun to light .the world and then placed it so far" away. “A man would he a fool.” the over seer added, “to huild a house in Zion and place his parlor light in Ken osha. Wis.” Miss Thompson, principal of the schools, says the children prefer their new flat world to the old fashioned round one in which Columbus be lieved. “The students in Zion schools,” she says, “grasp the theory of the flat earth readily because their minds are not full of globular earth teaching such as older folks have had drilled into them. Therefore, they accept the flat earth teaching without ques tioning, not because they have to, hut because It appeals to them as ra Look Younger Fill out those hollow checks and wrinkles—look and feel young and fu’.i full of energy.

I don't believe there is one student In the grades who h«i ques tioned it. The flat earth seems more reasonable to them. The globular, unreal.” Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who succeed ed John Alexander Dowie as over- j seer of Zion on the latter's death in i March, 1307, was horn near Newton, Ind., March 10, 1870. In 1897 he re- ] ceived his B. A. from Hiram College. ! Ohio, and in the same year a degree j from Union Christian College at Merom, Ind. In 1889 he has been or- : dained a minister in the* Christian church at the age of 19. and held a pastorate at Linden. Ind., from 1889 to 1892; Urbana. 111.. 1832-93; studied theology at Stanfordville. N. T.. 1893-94 and supplied the pulpit of Chestnut street Christian church at Albany, N. T.; filled a pulpit at York Harbor, Me., the following year; and was pastor of the Christian church at Washington C. H.f Ohio, in 1897-99. In 1899, Voliva Joined Dowie's church and was ordained an elder and placed in charge of the Zion tab ernacle in Chicago. In 1900 and 1901 he represented Powie at Cincinnati; and then was sent to Australia as overseer of the Powie settlement of Zion there. He returned to Zion, 111., in 1906 as assistant to Powie.
