HIS HAIR IS SNOW WHITE Sudden Fright Makes Russian Young Alan Look Like a Man of Eighty Years. REGISTERS AT THE PORTLAND Announcement of HI Aire Al most CitiiMe Clerk to Fall Under the Counter In . IIUHiirpriite. . (Portland Tel'fram.) The spectacle of a man but 39 year of ace and with hair, beard and imia tachs whits as the hirsute of an octo genarian and even whiter than mri, l an unusual one, but auch greeted Chief Drputy Cotiney Clerk Arthur C. Han croft at the registration counter this morning and expressed a desire to reg ister. . ' lie gave hli name a 11. Maaoratsky, aid he waa born In Kleff, RushIo, and waa a merchant by occupation, with address at 10Mi North Third street. Thla waa nothing unusual, nor was the sight of man with white hair and beard one to excite Interest, but when In answer to a stereotyped, question, "age V the applicant replied that he waa 89, the genial chief deputy nearly fell under the counter. However, Mr, Muxoratsky took an oath to that effect, and to that fact the records now bear witness.' - J- A few other questions of a personal nature, but having nothing to do with teglstratlon, elicited the surprising fact that this old-young man'a hair turned white in a single day. It was believed to be due "to fright, he said. ' He was badly frightened once about five years ago, and shortly after that his hair be came a me anven snow in one aay. No. he said, he had not been sick at the time, and the only explanation ever effcred hlin by any one who pretended to know, waa that the hair lost Ita color through the mysterious influence of extreme fright. Another surprising thing In connection with Mr. Maxor atnky's case is that before thla mystic change wa wrought his hair waa bluck. ' ' , Scientists are unable to account for the strange phenomenon of hair losing Its color In a single day,' Their bser vatlons are that the cells of the hair. which are filled with pigmentary gran ui-s, thus giving if Ita eolor,' appear to have become vacated of thla substance after the change and the cells filled with air. There are a number of caw on record of this kind. , AGED NEGRO DIES. Made Claim That 8h Was Born Prior To Revolution. , Chicago, Feb. 24.
