A small party of people was enter
tanned Wednesday evening by DR.. and
Mrs Farr. The evening was most de-
lightfully spent in listening to the re-
marks of c.. S. Nichols relative to the
peculiar qualities which he had been
taught were inherent in pack of
cards. Mr. Nichols is student of the
occult and gave three or four demon
STATIONS Of some very peculiar phe
nomena. One of the strangest was the
demonstration of the fact that there is
no such thing as chance. Before Capt.
Frantz had got to the meeting he was
entrusted with a sealed envelope, on
the outside of which was written the
word prognostications. During the
sitting he dealt the cards face down
ward around a circle of twelve Sec
tons representing the twelve months.
The cards were placed singly. Then
he called up one after another and
asked them to shake out two dice from
a wine glass. This was done to
bring i'll all the elements of so called
chance. The numbers thus thrown
up determined by a method he ex
planned the card to be selected by each
individual. Each card was enclosed
within an envelope without the face of
it being seen by anyone. This done
Mr. Nichols asked Capt. Frantz to
read the prognostications. This told
exactly the card each person held. 1t
was a Inystifier for everybody. The
evening was most enjoyably spent.
