| HARTSTEIN Jan. 1895.
Christmas was very quiet on the
Island this year.
Some of the young folkes of the
Island gathered at Mrs. Merris's on
Pickering Passage the other evening
and had jolly good time.
MO. Fuller and Preston Lott went
to Arcadia New Years day to do some
trading and on their way home form
ed several new resolutions to go by in
the future, when behold, their faith,
resolutions and both of them were
capsized in the bay getting their feet
wet pretty near up to their ears.
We hear that Mr.. Bradley of Jarrels
Cove has been appointed one of the
Directors in school district u. 1t
seems strange that when there are
men like Mr.. Bradley in the district,
he was not appointed some time ago.
The children of district 81 were taken
by surprise on Miss Corey's return to
;aer school by being presented with
sacks of candies, figs, oranges, and
other things too numerous to mention
and will impress upon their minds that
Miss Corey did not forget them when
away and is their friend as we'll as
their teacher.
Mr.. J. D. Layne will move his FAM
lily to Olympia, where he has secured
employment with Joseph Stripf. We
do not like to see good neighbors leav-
ing the Island. What we need is some
more, as good citizens as they are.
There is considerable comment be-
ing made in the Democratic news pa
pers in regard to the wholesale slaugh-
Their of the Chinese at Port Arthur by
the Japs. It only reflects back to the
United States what the democrats are
doing with the people here in trying
to starve them with democratic soup,
without money to buy it.
We see by the Eastern papers that
it looks probable that the forest fires
in the timbered regions were set on
fire by parties that had stolen timber,
in order to cover up their works,
From the looks of the country here in
this state it would be we'll to watch for
inst such results in the future as d
great amount of valuable property as
we'll as life is no consequence to timber
thieves after getting the timber off
the land and getting away with it.
Would it not be good idea for our
road Overseer to see to it that the log
gers in this do not fill up our county
road with trees and brush and cause
tn taxpayers extra work hereafter.
Walter Axtel, the cap of the Seaside
has secured the contract for carrying
the mail to the two remaining Post
Offices on the Island. We hear that
the Post Office at Downs will be dis
continued the 18th of this month.
M. o. Fuller has hen that Matched
brood of seventeen little chickens
the day before Christmas and they are
as lively as any little 1eghorns could
be. Who can beat it?
We are glad to hear that Mr.. Downs
little boy Alfred is much better and
able to be up again, although he is not
very strong yet.
Hartstein Island will endeavor to
buy out Shelton Olympia and Arcadia
if our strawberry crop comes up to
expectation this year.
Nearly all the land that was cleared
last year by the ranchers will be put
out in fruit trees this year and there
has been a considerable land cleared
in the past year on Hartstein Island.

came to protest against the oil refinery
which it is intended TO locate OH Ninth

ated without becoming a public nuisance.
DR.. Kurtz was in favor of resolution adj

therefrom which are nuisance.

Health Officer Stcddom brought up the
subject of the cremation of garbage. He
had letters from the authorities of various
cities, nearly all of which state the general
system is to collect the cost of gathering
refuse to the individual householder, which
is about S3 per year, the city to own Its
crematories. DR.. Steddom remarked
that the present cost of collecting garbage
is $l2 $50, and for $4,000 can be built

MISS LEWIS INVESTIGATES
The Subject Of Mind Reading Is Briefly
Examined Into
Professor TyndalI Demonstrates His Powers
BY the Famous Book Test In Private
for Hiss Lewis and Company

Yesterday at the request of a mutual
friend Professor Tyndall called upon Miss
Lillian Lewis of Cleopatra fame in her
suite at the Hollenbeck. For some time
Miss Lewis has been student of physics
and its phenomena, and after a greet
ing in her own cordial manner the CONVEX
sation was by her quickly turned to mind
reading. Professor Tyndali, at the re-
quest of both Miss Lewis and Mr.. Marston,
her husband, consented to give few tests
to illustrate a certain phase of thought sug-
gestion and to demonstrate his powers.
The test selected was the one which indi-
rectly caused the death of Bishop. Mr..
Marston and THE HERALD reporter re-.
Tyndall, while Miss Lewis retired to an
inner room of the suite. selected the book,
and noting a word and the page upon which
it appeared, hid the book. The door
of the parlor was then opened and Profess
sor Tyndall taking the hand of Miss
Lewis started to find the book. The hiding
place of the book and the word selected
were known only to Miss Lewis. After a
hurried hunt about the room, Professor
Tyndall made one of his characteristic
rushes toward a closed door leading to a
closet. This he soon unlocked and began
hunting in the closet. In less than two
minutes he found the book hidden in an
the hunt for the word in the book was be-
gun After a hurried running over of the
leaves, the word ''contract" was selected
by Professor TyndaIl and pronounced cor
rect by Miss Lewis and upon the right
page. The book was one of Shakespeare g
works, and 100 pages or more in size.
After this test both Miss Lewis and Mr..
Marston stated that they were we'll salts
fed that Professor Tyndall possessed Won
derful powers as a mind-reader. The con-
versation then drifted to clairvoyance, and
incidents were gone over of Professor ryn-
dall's equally great clairvoyant powers.
After the call Professor Tyndall was
asked to give his impressions of Miss
Lewis. "She is in many respects most
remarkable woman. She has strong
mind and the ability to concentrate her eff
forts upon the attaining of some purpose
in a remarkable degree. 1t is we'll for her,
in my opinion, that she is blessed with so
perfect physique. Had her strong, active
mind been clothed in a weak body it
would have been, in my opinion, positive
misfortune, for the world would have
missed much of her present achievements.
AS it is, she can concentrate her mind
powers upon the accomplishment of an
object, and in her indefatigable efforts
her magnificent physique stands her in
great stead. She is woman OF extraordi-
nary talents, which. coupled with her will
power, accounts for her great success"

ment Of Agricultural Lands-Chino
Sales-Uncontracted Work

If cessation of labor along lines of usual
activity is an indication of enjoyment,
then the builders of Los Angeles are very
thoroughly enjoying the Christmas holiday,
for the work represented in permits issued
during the past week is but a small frac-
ton of that done in other weeks during the
past year.
Permits were issued to q. d. Mathuss
for the erection of dwelling house on
First street near Rio, to cost $500; to
Mrs LonGshore for a dwelling to he built
on Griffin avenue, between Hawkins and
Baldwin streets, at an expense of $500; to
N. G. Augustine for the building of barn
in the rear of his residence on Clara street.
building of an addition to his dwelling
house on Towne avenue, at cost of 500;
to w. V. Johnson for an addition to his
residence on Ingraham street, the esti-
mated cost being $500: to f. Volkman for
the construction--of two dwellings on sixth
street, between Merchant street and Ceres
avenue, to cost $l4OO. Mr.Volkinan takes
the prize for the largest permit issued
during the week. G. W. Sanderson took
out a permit for the erection of little
dwelling house on Main street, between
LemaS ana OlDSOIl street, 10 COSt pOUO, ".
w. Hammond will build dwelling on
Hamilton, near Mofiitt street, to cost $3.50;
and Mrs. Caroline Feetham took out a
permit for the construction of dwelling
on Twenty-ninth street, between Central
and Griffin, to cost 5000; the list thus
comprising nine houses at an aggregate es-
timated cost of $3.50.
But small as is the list, 1t is very much
larger than that for the corresponding week
of last year; and though building opera
tons have fallen off materially during De-
cember, the months operations greatly ex.
coed those of December, 1894.
Last year the permits issued during the
month of December numbered III, and
the total estimated cost of The buildings
was $131 ,675; for the month to date this
year the permits issued number $50. and
the cost of the structures is given as $685.
500, which proportion is not very far from
that existing between the total operations
for the total amount of work done during
the respective years.
1t is worth while noting that all the per-
mits issued last week were for the con-
struction Of dwelling houses, for new citi-
zens continue to arrive, even during the
holidays, and some of them insist upon
postponing their celebration or mingling it
with preparations to get into houses of
their own.
