FUNNY FREAKS In Photograhry Often Result to the Amateur on Big Days When WALKS ARE TAKEN Between Your Camera and the View—Pictures You Don’t Always Want. On dedication dm . “eat-x i-;i fiends" ! were as thick as bees in a clover field, trying to get a nap-shot <> the gov ernor ant! other state dignitaries. As usual, however, when there is a big day. a “snap-shot" is as much of a chance a a musk melon. Just ns the “camera fiend" gets his camera ready and thin!, lie ! y < clear view of tho objective point and presses tho button. !o and behold au alieti walks n< rose the view and spoils the whole picture. • The nearer an object is to the camera, the largest it shew, in th vi ... and sometimes an object little larger than a hand m-arxhe camera, blots o\t the whole objective view. When th/pa lures are done, It is just as like a- not. if you're an amateur, that al' there Is in the picture is the hat of some wo- ■ man who has passed in front of the I kodak at the—for you inopportune I time. Or there may appear walking ' across the landscape in gigantic pre- ’ portions, characters that you never saw before, do not know now, and never want to know, let along have their pictures. But such ie life -the brisk moving life of people, that is found not only in moving picture shows. Not the least objection, however, Is this kind of moving picture'-, proves rather expensive for the ana- , teur who is left w’jth jp lot of useless pictures on his hands.

Eberhard say* there I was a dislocation of some of the vert ’• brae, but It does not say there was a I • fracture. These statements are all conflicting, though they were taken Into consideration by the nutliorfles I here, the evidence at the inquiry wa* I conclusive as to the erudition of I the body when It left this city. “Ono of the wltnoases at the coroner's Inquest, n student friend of Olten I chain, testified ths* ho on one ocea I , shin hbd taken part in so athletic i conest with Oben< huln at South Whit I ley. and that the voting man had suffered an attack of heart trouble.
