DR.. Fryer is an Englishman by birth
He was called out to Hongkong in 1861 by
the bishop of the diocese to assume
charge OF st. Paurs College. After two
years at st. Paul's DR.. Fryer was sum-
moned to Pekin, where he took charge of
Tung Wen College, governmental insti-
tuition established for the education of
young men intended to represent China in
other countries.
Afterward he went to the Anglo Chinese
school at Shanghai and learned dialect
distinct from the Cantonese, OF which he
had already gained command. AT Shang-
hal he published a Chinese periodical and
meeting with such success at his new line
of work, he was called by the Emperor to
enter the Government service as trans
lator of foreign scientific works, which
position he will resign to take up his new
work at Berkeley.
AT present DR.. Fryer is editor and pro-
prietor of the Chinese Scientific and Indus
trial Magazine of the Chinese Scientific
Book Depot. honorary secretary of the
Chinese Polytechnic Institute and general
editor and chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Educational Association of
China

DR.. JOHN FRYER COMING,
The PROFESSOR OF ORIENTAL
LANGUAGES EXPECTED AT
BERKELEY,
He WILL GIVE UP HIGH POSITIONS
IN CHINA TO TEACH IN
CALIFORNIA

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 2O-The uni
versity community is looking forward
with anticipation to the coming of DR..
John Fryer, who has been elected by the
Board of Regents to the chair of Oriental
languages at Berkeley.
DR.. Fryer is now at Shanghai, engaged
in translatihg scientific works for the Chi
nese Government. He is expected to ar
rive IN California in the early spring.
President Kellogg said yesterday that
the time of DR.. Flyers arrival was an I'M
certainty. That he would be here during
the coming term was almost a certainty.
Last year the chair of Semetic languages
and literature was established at the
university, with DR.. Jacob Voorsanger as
professor. The founding of department
of Oriental languages promises to give
rise to even more general interest, from
the fact that Berkeley will have the second
department of the kind in the United
States, the other being at Harvard.

course, on the quality and variation of that
force. Nature is truthful in her records.
She tells no lies, and IN the operation of
her various forces we discover indubitable
proof of the universal soul.
SIN the prehistoric and early historic
times, when man considered that this
mundane sphere was the center of the
universe, that the sun, moon and stars
were all specially placed in their proper
positions for his particular benefit. man
assumed quite an important proportion in
the great plan of cosmic construction. AS
mans important relation to the universe
was magnifed so was Gods divine imper-
sonaIity belittled. But as natural knowl-
edge spread and man began to understand
that this earth and all that it contains are
but an infinitesimal part of the numberless
worlds that people inconceivable space he
dwindled and dwindled until he became a
mere atom. AS he shrank to atomic little
ness God grew. The conception of the di-
vine soul expanded. Our true relation to
the universal system is understood and as
our natural knowledge is extended our
conception of the divine soul of the world
is beautified and made sublime.
aft is fallacy to suppose there is any,
thing antagonistic in science in it's true
relationship 10 the only grand conception
of God. OF course it is repugnant to tradi-
tional theology.
Huxley says that science is nothing
more nor less than organized and trained
common-sense.' We think by rule instead
of at the inspiration of tradition and SUPER
stition We are guided by facts. Our
criterion of truth is fact and facts verified.
Browning says 'the truth is within our
selves There I follow him, but when he
asserts that the foundation of that truth
does not depend on externals for it's modi-
fication and verifcation 1 demur. After
all has been said we can reach only the
one conclusion - natural knowledge
proves the existence OF the ever present
divine soul of the universe"

NATURAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Hon. John Monteith's Able and
Scholarly Sermon at the Second
Unitarian Church.

Natural knowledge as Leading to the
Truth" was the subject of an able and
scholarly sermon delivered by the Hon.
John Monteith in the Second Unitarian
Church yesterday morning.
His main object was to show that incon-
sistencies exist between the revelations of
modern science and traditional theology.
While aiming body blow at many of the
acceptations of biblical infallibility, the
trend OF his argument went to prove that
natural knowledge" establishes the EEK
istence and operation of the omniscient
soul of the universe
"Our researches in SCIENCE" he said,
convince US more and more of this grand
truth. In matter we find an interesting
study. Matter is force. In one form we
find the solid in another fluid, IN an
other gas and so on throughout the en-
tire category = always depending, of

Fishing in Lake Chabot is to be STONED
by the owners on account of the manner
in which they claim the privilege has been
abused. For many years anglers have
been permitted to fish in Lake Chabot.
This pleasure, however, will soon termi-
nate, as the fish are getting scarce and the
NUMBER OF seekers after the privilege is
fast growing.
Those who were accorded the privilege
have been warned not to take out any
more trout than they had use for. On sew
eral occasions people have been seen going
away with as many as fifty or sixty fish,
and occasionally as high as eighty. Last
week an angler took out over 100 trout and
was unable TO carry them off and some
inns was the last straw and now the big
water company will limit its permits TO
their Immediate friends
Revising the Ritual.
The reforms in the ritual of the First He
brew Congregation will soon be ready to
submit to the members. For several weeks
a committee. consisting of Messrs. Sol
Kahn, d. Hirshberg, Marc Marcuse and j.
Harris, has been receiving rituals from
several congregations all over the country.
Many surprises have been caused by the
advances toward reform already made, and
the feeling that existed against any kind
of reform in the Oakland congregation is
fast dying out.
A Brakeman Killed.
Harry Peregrine, brakeman living in
this..city was seriously injured at Tracy last
night and died at Stockton few hours
later. The deceased man leaves a widow
and baby.
Upheld the Press.
Rev. Edward Davis preached a sermon
tonight upholding the press of to-day.
His lecture was in the nature of reply to
the expressions of the ministers at the re-
cent synod at San Jose. Mr.. Davis con-
tended that the people demanded the SEN
sational journalism of to-day, and that this
was the cause of its existence rather than
that the sensational press had created the
demand that now exists for it.

Painting Our House.

lage that our landlord was man of his
word and would do just what he agreed to,
so when l got him to agree to paint our
house and surroundings l thought had a
pretty good bargain. "I'll paint every
thing around the place that you want me
to, said he, with a suave smile that was
only slightly marred by his prodigious
chew of tobacco. That was where [ got
left. l should have made him agree to
paint the colors that l desired. Unfortu-
nately our tastes do not agree. and that
house looks like chromatic alteration

with MIN he merely said he was painting

The entertainment given last week for the
benefit OF the initiatory team, while it was well
attended, was not patronized as it should
nave been. The team does great deal OF hard
WORK, and its services to the order ought to be
better appreciated and recognized than it was
on the occasion OF the recent entertainment.

John Staulicher was found in the rail.
road yards early this morning with his
feet nearly burned off. He was discovered
by a Waterman and sent to the Receiving
Hospital, where his limbs were treated
At the hospital he told the following
story: He was an employee at Mrs. Stan
ford's winery at Vina and came to Oakland
on his way to winery at Livermore.
While in this city he was searching for
the proper train at the mole, when he was
arrested by a Waterman and charged with
being brake-beam rider.
The Waterman, SO Staulicher said, took
him by the coat and marched him through
pool of water and then drove him across
bed of hot ashes, the effect of which was
to burn a lot of flesh off his feet
An examination of the place where
Staulicher was found showed exactly how
he came by his injuries. He was arrested
and driven out of the railroad yards by the
Waterman and walked on to Peralta-street
dumps. The dumps are being burned
over with kerosene oil as a sanitary
measure and large part of them were SO
treated yesterday.
1t was before daylight when Staulicher
landed in the dumps and he did not see
that there were two or three feet of ashes
over a large surface. He walked into it
and could not see which way to retrace his
steps and so met with his fearful injuries.
He says that the Waterman forced him
to take off his shoes and drove him onto
the ashes, knowing what they were. This
story is dlscredited by the police and con-
sequently no effort has been made to find
the Waterman.

Joseph Laymance, for a Tong tune chalr-
man of the Alameda County Democrauc
Central Committee, was a disappointed
man last Thursday when he learned 1hat
he was not to be Collector OF the Fort OF
Oakland. The Democratic papers an
ncunced the appointment as a satisfactory
one to the party in this county and laid
particular stress on the fact that Mr.. Lay
nance had been offered the place, but de-
clined in favor of Warren B. English, ex-
Congressman from this district. The truth
IF the matter was carefully masked till
yesterday, when 1t was torn OH by Lay
mance's friends, he himself not being in
any wav opposed to their action. 1t was a
very clever little political plot, in which
Warren English came cut on top, and
Iavmauce considers himself the most
badly used man in this county. He does
not quite understand why he was turned
down, but he realized that politics had
been an expensive hobby and SO far
brought no return.
Two years ago Laymance was candi-
date for Postmaster of Oakland. He had
strong hold on the Office, but was per-
suaded to lie low, ready for spring into
the office that his friend, Warren English,
was creating in Washlngton-that of Col
lector of the Port of Oakland.
Laymance took the advice and laid low.
and now he says he laid too low, for Eng
lish jumped clear over him.
English secured mis- appointment
through Collector Wise, as Collector of the
Port Of Oakland. At the same time it be-
came known that two days previously
Laymance had been offered the position,
but had declined. Laymance got the
honor, but English got the plum-$3600 a
year.
