one familiar with the use of the

Lanier Library has received a
copy of Kenneth Robert’s “Henry
Gross and His Dowsing Rod” from
a resident of the county who has
been converted to the mysteries of

as a xorce mveritably successful

The book given the library re

graphs of wells bringing in water
at spots where experts said there
was none.

Mrs. Herbert D. Oliver broke

of Natural History (New York)
forms have been sent with official
weigh and measurements and
sample of line attested to by H.
B. Majesty’s Comm., on Bimini,
B. I., to the American Museum of
Natural History. Bone fish is now
being mounted by Pfluger, Miami.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver spent a
week in early January at Bimini
and Cat Coy, Bahama Islands,
bone fishing, from skiffs, with na
tive guides, and deep sea fishing
from Yacht “Alberta” commanded
by Capt. John Cass.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Costa at New
Smyrna Beach, Fla., write they’ll
be glad to get back to the beau
