was tin* establishment of municipal gov

Three or four years ngo. ProfwK Har

of Ihe subject, cidleotlng all the stigbs
he could abfaln regaidtng the use of a
forked twig for th. discovery of water
and mineral*, shifting them carefully,
seeklnt; such corroboration s might he
available and planning experiments of Ills
own. The first part of his report, which
. ame out in IKS, cited 152 case*. Th#
-ciond furnished many more come of
them having been ronduiird under Pro

Instalment ta promised, and will deal
largely with the. hum for metal* with th#

In describing Hie operation of "dow

dowser passe a spot where water ts sup
