Vsturbance in Inner Ear

Shipwreck is a sure cure for sea-

on "Mal de Mer," n Which heerecords

of saving orie's.self has wiped nut add
traces of seasickness' smong passen-
ger who had. been 'jiriValids!' pricir to
the announcement that the boat they
were on was ablaut to go down.
Dr. Lehmann, however, does not be-
lieve seaeieleness is the creation of the
imagination. He says deaf person's,
whose inner ears are destroyed, and
young babies, 'whose inner ears are not
yet developed, never are seasiek. DiS-
turbances in the ..inner labyrinth of
the ear, in tflie opinion of fir. Leh-
mann, are communicated to' the nerve
centres, which produce billiousness

Active officers may, if they wish, pass,
on tertain conditions, int) is special

ilians recruited for the purpose, will
Iferm the reserve squadrons. Up to
the present time it has been possible
to furnish all the pilots needed for
these -auxiliary duties from Mreporarlr
officers trained And certificated in the
war, but' the supply of these has corne
to en end, and young men who have
never been up in the air will be in-
vited to take up territorial duties'.
