Berlin, Jan. I. The scenttno. world Is not yet prepsred to admit that Newton's law . of gravitation . has been under mined by a. Swedish civil engineer, the alleged discoverer of-- the law that bodies change weight when ' shaken. Olan claims that he : made thia dis covery four years ago In America, but that It met with contempt , when re ported to sclentlflo scademles. . -After his return to Sweden he con tinued his observations, and before a number of .-professors at Stockholm uni versity -he apparently demonstrated that many bodies get heavier anU others lighter, after the shsklng process, and that they retrain ordinary weight after a Lapse of half an hour. The weighing scale, howwer, must have a solid con nection with th earth, which explains why the discovery was not made-before. Olan thinks tpat an explanation . of the supposed change la that the law of gravitation does not exist, and thai magnetlo forces alono attract bodies. A remarkable feature la that changes In weight vary aocordlng to the direc tions In which the bodies are shaken. WRECK DEATH LIST REACHES THIRTY-FIVE Joaroal Sssetal amies. I " Topeka. JCan., Jan. I.
