PROFESSOR JAMES ON MEMORY
Last of a Series of Instructive Lectures on
This Subject

Pasadena, Feb 2l.-The vestry of the
Universalist Church was crowded last
evening at the fourth and last lecture by
Professor G.. Wharton James in the Uni
versity Extension course upon Memory.
The special subject taken up was the
physical basis of memory, from which an
interesting and practical lecture was
given In the process OF developing
memory the act of reviewing is all essen
tia. 1t is this which gives lasting per-
manencv to the memory, and it should
always follow observation and reflection
The speaker did not believe fully in the
old idea that thing once known is never
fully forgotten. He likened the memory
of many people to man who has money
in bank and wishes to cash check,
but finds the cashier out and the presi-
dent gone to Canada. The money is safe,
but you can't get it when you want it,
Mental Impressions may or may not be
lasting. In many cases a second inn
preston may entirely oblterate the first
and true impression. In this way
many OF the seemingly inexplcable con-
Trajectory statements by reliable wit
nesses may be explained, and we should
be exceedingly lcnent in judging of the
statements Of others. The speaker gave
as an illustration "a case in his own expe-
rience where he had added an i'm
aginary circumstance to an Incl
dent when relating it afterward
which was an actual misstatement
OF the truth, though made in good faith.
The only to make Impressions lasting and
correct is by review. The will is "a strong
factor in the cultivation of memory and
should be called into use. When person
iorgets, there are two ways of recalling the
lost idea. One is by reference, the other
by will power. The speaker usually
used the latter, but would in most cases
recommend reference, ii it was followed
up until the memory would recall without
assistance. The memory must be strength
ened by degrees, and in this respect the
best way is to make haste slowly. Taking
up the physical basis of memory, atten-
tion was called to the morning as the best
time for mental work. Professor James
found his best time for work four hours
before breakfast in the morning. 1t is
never best to eat a hearty meal before at
tending a lecture which one wishes to
remember, or to attempt hard mental
effort. Stimulants are the curse OF the
nineteenth century. They are of no posi-
bic benefit to hcalthful organism, and do
much harm. The lecture closed with II
few practical illustrations in rapid writ
ing, which was held to be largely the
result of mind power.

Personal Mention

Pasadena, Feb. 2l.-During the past
three weeks this city has been infested by
an exceedingly smooth individual who
went under the name OF Fairbanks and
claimed to be representing the large firm
of safe manufacturers of that name. That
the fellow is smooth goes without saying,
when it may be mentioned that he de-
frauded eight or ten of our leading mer-
chants OF sums ranging from $40 to $50
and has got away, leaving no clue to his
whereabouts. The fellow made his last
appearance in the city Monday evening,
and since that time has been eagerly
sought for by many confiding ones. The
police were notified, but have endeavored
TO keep the matter quiet in the hope of
locating the man. The Herald man, how
ever, dropped onto the affair and gives
the results. 1t is about three weeks ago
that Fairbanks arrived in Pasadena, ac-
companed by woman, whom he intro
duced as his wife. He engaged rooms at a
fashionable boarding house on North Fair
Oaks avenue, and was ready for con-
quests.
His manner OF operation was to learn
of some business firm which was in need
OF safe and present himself as a travel
bank Il Co., Chicago.
bargain being struck at an exceed
lngly low price, the man stating that he
was introducing the goods on the Coast,
an advance deposit was asked for on the
contract, which was usually forthcoming.
In this way no less than eight firms are
known to have been duped for various
sums. When this scheme had been
worked for all there was in it he took a
new tack and tried the bogus check dodge.
In this he was successful in at least one
case, that of a leading drug firm, where II
check for SIS. - was cashcd the night be-
fore he left. The check was drawn on a
San Francisco firm and was returned as
no good How many more people he may
have vctimized for small amounts is not
known, but in all he managed to get out
OF town with good lot OF Pasadena
money.
Fairbank is described as a man of
about 80 years, of fine appearance, a
smooth talker, making a display of a
number of diamonds and claiming TO be
an expert in the line OF precious stones

The cell department is in the center of the

SAFE IN CUSTODY
Wong Chez, the fIighbinder, Lodged in the
County Jail

Wong Chee, the notorious highbinder
by whose orders, it is claimed, Little Suey
was shot, was arrested yesterday by
Citizen C. Mugnemi, who turned him
over to Deputy Constable W. E. Turner.
Chez is now safely lodged in the Hote |
Burr on the Hill, where he is likely to
remain until he furnishes bail. He was
arrested on u warrant charging him with
assault to commit murder, and II he had
not been captured yesterday he would
have left town last night, and he would
have remained away until after the pres
ent trouble blows over.
The police officers made no effort ap
prehend him. Mugnemi, who at one time
was an officer, decided to capture him, and
he succeeded. He found him in hiding
in DR.. Wong's sanitar ium on Main street,
below Seventh, and he arrested him
without any trouble. One OF the Chinese
women said that Chee would have left
last night if he had not bee n captured.
