OME of the scientists go so far as to attribute dreams of swimming to an atavistic reminiscence of the days “ when you were a tadpole and I was a fish.” _ It is a generally accept ed theory that all life on this planet began in the primeval sea from which the continent afterward emerged; and scientists declare that rudimentary gill-silts are not uncommonly found in man, physical vestiges of our fish state. So they say, as these gill-slits linger in our physical structure in our mental structure there may linger “ some faint atavistic echo from the primal sea.” Freud states that in dreams of swimming as in those of falling, hov ering and flying—a general statement cannot be made as to their signifi cance— they signify something differ ent in each case. But he holds it as a truth that these dreams represent Im pressions from our earliest childhood which are seized upon and made use of by the dream thought. These dreams of swimming are, as a rule, very pleasant ones and are classed by the scientists as among the “ typical” dreams. The mystics account a dream of swimming to be a most favorable omen, especially if the water of the sea of dreams is clear and you seem to swim easily. To dream of swim ming yourself or even seeing some one else swimming, prognosticates a reconciliation #ith a friend with whom you are now at odds. I f you Swim along easily with your head well out of water you will be successful in love and business; If you are a sailor a profitable voyage is before you. But if in your dreams you swim along with your head under water you will shortly be called upon to face many hard struggles. You will win out in them, however, by keeping “a stiff up per lip.” S (C op yrigh t.) --------O-------- CONTRAST. Nature loves neither silences nor noise, She has her silence and she has her sound. Yet all the melody that she employs But serves to make her silence more profound. The sweeping desert, yellow, bare and mute, Seems deader for a wheeling vul ture's scream. The single quaver of a lonely lute But makes the night seem nearer to a dream. The sea is silent far from shores un seen. Save where a ripple tumbles to abyss; As whitened water makes the green more green. The day is calmer for the bubble's hiss. From such as these I learn the for est’s charm— T is not Its silence, silent though it be; It is Its sound unpoisoned with alarm. Its whisper like the whisper of the sea. Shouting nor silence, neither enters here— Only the melody of far-off things. A drifting cloud makes skies more fair appear, The wood Is stiller for the whir of wing» (Copyright)
