Medical men, musical men and several prominent specialists have asked to be al lowed to Investigate the case. A well known mualc teacher states that ahe has a range In her whistling of two and one half octaves. The only other case on tveord hi that of a woman who baa a range of one and a half octave. Mr. Spear's daughter can whistle with her mouth closed, and doea not use her lips, tongue or cheeks In whistling. She has had this strange power since sfe was two years old. and music teachers believe that she will develop wonderful ability aa a whistler. The peculiar for mation of the larynx doea not affect the child in any way. She haa alwaya been strong and vigorous. THE PAST WEEK IN TRADE. New York Financier Says There la N Decided Gain. New York. April 11-The New Tork Financier says this week: The atatement of the associated banks of New Kork city for the week ending April 18 shows the net receipts of currency during tke week from the Interior were lighter than had been estimated. The actual net increase In caah holdings In the banks only amounts to IU5.50Q, and as tt.Mu.000 was sent abroad. It Is evident that the week's receipts from domestic sources can barely have exceeded tl.W0.0iO. In general business circles, the week In dicated a gain, although not aa percepti bly at Eastern cities as west of the Mis souri valley. In that section, and also In Ralllmore and Pittsburg, there has been extensive retail buying, and thla has naturally resulted in a better demand at wholesale. The general tone of the finan cial week, however. Indicates .hat there Is no abatement In the almost universal disposition to deal with unusual con servatism and not to anticipate future wants.
