Experiments which have been car
ried on in recent years in regard to
using electricity on the public school
children in Stockholm are said to have
met -with great success. The object
$as been to test the beneficial nature
of electricity on the human body.
Hitherto it has been found possible
to force the growth of vegetables by
means of electricity, the currents be
ing distributed from a powerful dyna
mo. This idea has been carried out
successfully in several places It was
accordingly believed that the human
qrganzsm was equally susceptible to
this influence, through the practically
cdntmuous application of an electrical
ly charged atmosphere to the human
system Two groups of twenty-five
children each were selected, as nearly
alike as possible in general health,
size and weight The respective
groups were given their instruction
in tvvo rooms, both being equal in
size, ventilation, lighting and other
general conditions. But the group
one of the rooms was constantly ex
posed to the influence of the electrical
currents, while the other group pur
sued its studies under normal condi
tions in the other room After a test
of several years the two groups of
children ha\e been compared and it
is claimed that the "electrified" chil
dren have outstripped the others men
tally and physically and that they
have grown faster, put on weight more
Quickly and shown more physical fit
ness generally besides possessing su
perior mentality Skepticism is dis
played some quarters and the re
sult of the experiment is not altogeth
er regarded as decisive It is ex
pected, however that similai experi
ments will be conducted in some if
the other schools in order to demon
strate the supposed efficacy of the
electrifying process in improving 'He

Professor Paul Peter Waldenstrom
recently took his countrymen to task
lor lack of patriotism, and a recent
address he roundly scored them tor
emigrating in such large numbers to
America Rev Waldenstrom said:
"The trouble is that so many Swedes
do not know that Sweden is a coun
try of great opportunities America
has less liberty than Sweden He
illustrated this contention as fol
lows: "When I came to America
I had to be examined before I could
land I had to account for my name,
my familj what I was going to do in
America, how long I was to stay and
how much monej I bad Such things
are unknown in Sweden If the ex

lowing interesting situation into spec

been sounding the waters through
which their ships passed. More than
once it has been stated that the next
Trafalgar will not be on the coast of
Spain, but on the coast of Norway
It is generally supposed that the great
peace movement to which President
Taft has given an unparalleled im
petus will not accomplish its purpose

try to be prepared for it according to
their limited means."

the past nine an one-half years the bu
reau has received applications for em

were in their street clothes All four

offers from Berlin and London and it
may be that they will decide to go
