BODY vouliro IN LAXE.,,
Prof, Memorea ASOisting
Finding •Drowned Men,
Nine loaves of bread, ts is boasted
by the ancient adage, about 4.,34 on
Sunday afternoon revealed the resting'
place of the body of Robert, Parker,
X6 -Year-old son of Mr, and MI's.
James Parker, of Lion's Head, who,
with Captain William Corson .was
drowned in the *lake. off Lion's 'Head
Point on September 23', just tWO weeks
ago, The old'belief was successfully
called into play after all modern meth-
ods had failed in the two weeks of
" continual search, The body of the
boys companion has -not yet been
• L , • found and a further seareh will be
, . Young 'Pnarker and the captain were
• ' repairing the first pound net out from
Lion's Head. Point on ,September 25
and fears for -their safety were first
aroused when they failed to appear at
,• ' night. Sear,ches, found the launch
• which they had taken to the pound,
• but a rowboat, which was also taken,
• could not be found,, nor was any clue
as to the wereabouts of the two
dis-
covered-. ,Continual search has been
made since then with drags, and air..
• planes ,haVe scoured the lake on the
theory that they may have been blown
out into the lake by heavy,. winds.
'Until today all of the -Seachers have
returned disappointed.
'During a perfermatice in a Wiartan
theatre on Fi'iday night Prof, Memor-
ea, clairvoyant, claiming • to, be the
seventh sou .of a •seventh ' son, was
asked by a member of the audience
where the bodies of Captain William
Corson and Robert Parker conld be
found. • The clairvoyant believed he
could locate the bodies by usiog •the
loaves of bread and. volunteered to
come• to Lion's Read the next day.
The lake was too rough on Saturday
but he came again Sunday and the body
of Parker was recovered withia„„half
an hour,
• Removing the centers• front the
loaves of bread the 'clairvoyant filled
the loaves with lime and placed tbeiti
.in a circle on the water, where he
thought the bodies would be located.
It was claimed that when a lo'af pass-
ed over 'a body a sort of electric cur-
rentti would be formed and indicates
by the tremmbling of the bread.
The loaves floated around for a
short while then one drifted to a
spot about 200 feet from the net pole,
it waved • ancl trembled on the sur-
face of the water for a brief moment
then sank froth sight. Drags were
lowered at this point and the body of
the boy brought to the surface.
The strange discovery wa's witness-
ed by some 22 people, who went to
the scene in John Taggart's gasoline
launch.
This •atnique method, which is in
reality an ancient belief, is well known

WHAT TWO DOLLARS WILL
SAY
In each of its many departments,
catering to all classes and all ages, the
Family Herald and Weekly Star, of
Montreal, has continued to improve
each year over the last until now it
would seem perfection were reached.
Yet, for the corning season that re-
markable farm and family journal
again promises—and the promise will
surely be fulfilled, still further im-
provements in all departments. It is
a profound mystery to publishers the
world over how the Family Herald
and Weekly Star can continue to
publish a 72 -page weekly paper con-
taining such a wealth and variety of
reading matter for a subscription
price of •only, $zoo per year.
If this were not enough, we hear
that, added to the amazing value of the
paper itself, each subscriber this sea-
son who remits in time will receive
free a most beautiful picture in colors
of a lovely and heroic woman, whose
remarkable life story has been publish-
ed in booklet form and can be obtain-
ed without charge from the Family
Herald and Weekly Star, Montreal.

Jack Hunter Goes on Tour
Recettly on a lengthy trip through
the highways and byways of nearby
counties, a few sights and occurren-
ces that appeared to us worthy to be
chronicled, are as follows:
A farmer smoking a‘cigar while
ploughing.
Another farmer, who, when asked
how things were going, unhesitating-
ly replied, -"Couldn't be better."
A girl driving a democrat full of
milk cans and at the sante time read-
ing a yellow -backed novel.
A skunk that sat in the middle of
the road and held us up for ten min-
utes. We never hurry a skunk.
Stopped at the side of the road to
gather some flowers. A chap in art ex-
pensive sedan, thinking we were stal-
led, stopped and asked if we needed
help. Quite exceptional, this.
Ran across a fellow backing up a
hill. Thought he was crazy until he
explained that his gas tank was al-
inost empty, and discovered the reas-
on for his behavior.
Bought gasoline at a roadside sta-
tion and left without paying for it
Later reinembered and went back to,
pay, Very oddl Garage man forgot we,
hadn't paid. Very, very extraordin-
ary!
Saw a' red-headed kid fishing, Over
his head was a sign, No fishing
here," 'Twas false the kid had six
