MAXY 1IKIUS SPRING IP
San Prantlscn, May 24. A new turn
was given the strange case of Susanna
Moore, the aged recluse who for yearB
h;is lived on charity, but on her death
recently left an estate of '$690,000,
when her purported will was filed
with Judge Graham of the superior
court today by the public administra
tor.
The document names Nellie J)avles
of Salmon City, Idaho, 'as the Sole le
gatee. Soon after Mrs. Moore's death
alleged heirs from all parts of the
United States were heard from. These
were sifted down until there are only
two. claimants who said they were
cousins of the woman to the estate
which was to be distributed. Then
Miss Davles was Injected Into the
case, claiming she was the daughter
of Mrs. Moore. Soon afterward, a
neighbor of Mrs. Moore . received an
anonymous letter through the mail,
purporting to be the will.

Doctor Has Other Strange Theories
About Human Body.
St. Louis, May 24. A young" man
very much in love wears an Invisible
but none the less real aura of reel
about his noodle. After marriage, if
happy, the scarlet halo, signifying
passion, will become streaked with
blue, which is the color of devotion.
If he fails to pick a winner, and hie
wife, clad In a klmona and curl pa
pers, asks for money, his aura will
assume a greenish tinge, that being
the color of disgust. These state
ments were made today on the au
thority of Dr. B. F. Austin, an author-
ity on auras, spooks, and such, who
has spent many years sorting out an4
Investigating the halo subject
According to Dr. Austin, a pale pink
aura signifies a Platonic friendship,
while a color akin to a boiled beet
tells the tale of undying affection.
If a man loves a girl for her money
the red is tinged with brown, signify
ing selfishness and greed. Too muds
brown Is a bad sign, following out the
theory,' and' prognosticates an unhap
py union. It even might be said a
slight tinge of salmon color would in
dicate the young lady was fishing for

hardly make a showing.
Waves from the human brain are

Austin preaches. A normal person'
brain shows straight and harmonic

outside growers to hold their clips
