First,

interpret the given dots as Braille numbers. (There's no number sign at the beginning, as there normally would be.)

This gives: 9 92 7 74 53 90 6 2 109 47 16

Next,

take the chemical symbols of those elements of the periodic table.
This gives F U N W I Th C He Mt Ag S, or FUN WITH CHEM TAGS.

Title explanation:

"Elementary" of course refers to the chemical elements; "Louis" is Louis Braille, inventor and namesake of his writing system for the blind.
