HyDnOIism In Columbia.
TELEPHONE 10.

Commencing Monday night, Nov.
3Oth, at the Grand Opera House, the
much talked of and highly success
full operator of the mystifying pow
ers of Hypnotism, DR.. w. r. Price
will gives his series of Scientific
Lectures and tests. The Pulaski
Record comments as follows on MS
work there last week:
"Dr. w. r. Price gave a series OF
three lectures here, beginning Mon.
day night, on the subject OF
psychology, or hypnotism. On Mon
! day night, after a splendid lecture,
which was listened to intently by a
good audience, he proposed to make
demonstrations of his powers as
a hypnotist, and called for persons
from the audience to come upon the
stage. Quite number responded,
among them Prof. G. H. Walker, OF
the Pulaski Institute, and the ad-
vance man for the Cyrene Co., j. Il
Carson. Carson was soon put undel
the hypnotic influence, and In tha'
condition, was made to do many
wonderful things, among them tt
make a strong free silver speech, be
lieving he was Bryan, and i'm
: mediately thereafter making rec
hot Republican speech, under tn
belief that he was VIM. Mckinley
While in this condition DR.. Pric

Onward and Upward.

There is always room at the top.
While at the bottom of the ladder
there is a scramble for $40 clerk
ships, men of attachments, who can
command four times that sum, are
in demand. Columbia has furnished
one of this high grade class, in
Marion Dorset, who has recently
had added to his other duties, that
of Bacteriologist of the Emergency
Hospital at Washington, a position
both of honor and profit. Marion
has no political pull, and his onward
and upward march is entirely due
to merit and the demand for capable
men. We congratulate him on his
continued success, and commend his
example to other young men who
may be just starting in life.

Thanksgiving Day.

This National holiday was gen.
orally observed in Columbia yester-
day. Nearly all the business houses
closed and everybody-except the
poor printer-had a rest. Services
were held at the Presbyterian and
Episcopal churches, and union SER
vices OF all the other churches were
held at the First Cumberland
Presbyterian church, where DR..
Kelley occupied the pulpit. DR..
Kelley's discourse was on the day
it's origin, growth, influence and
effect. He incidentally touched up
on the history and policies of ma
tions; how holidays and festivals
reflected and affected the people
how the war that freed the black
man, developed the white man
how religion, good morals and tenn
perance, were growing with the
growth of civilization.

Tragedy, which seems much

principal exponent in Thomas W.

actor of this country. There Is

equal to the exhilaration that one
feels when completely absorbed in
one of the splendid types OF men
that Shakespeare has created. they
are at once the most difficult and
the most simple of all characters to
play. will tell you why. Simply
because all Of the actions and the
details are so infinitely described in
the test that almost any artist OF IN
telligence and sympathy feels what
he must act. Difficult because there
are so many traditions which linger
over the interpretations OF those
great artists who formerly won fame
in certain roles.n Mr.. Keene, ac-
companied by Charles B. Hanford,
will appear here about the middle
of January.

Langley's Flying rlachine.
II is Said to Have Travelled Half lille in Al

II is Said to Have Travelled Half lille in Air
and Aghted Safely.
The first public statement regarding
the flying machine experiments conduct
ed by Prof Samuel P. Langley, the secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institution, for
some months past was made today with
the authority of Prof. Langley. The
wel-known scientist has been believer
in the eventual practical use of air vehi-
Giles for years, and for long period he
has been making experiments with a
device of his own invention near Occa-
guam, Va Much secrecy has been
attached to these trials of the aero
dromc, and the little that has leaked out
has excited intense interest among the
scientists throughout the world. Pro-
fessor Langley has always been guarded
about the experiments, and the account
of his latest attempts with the flying
machine embodied in the following state
ment, prepared by Professor Alexander
Graham Bell, the wel-known inventor,
published with the sanction of Professor
Langley, therefore, will be of great inter
est to the scientific world generally:
Last Wednesday, May 6, witnessed
very remarkable experiment with
Professor Langley's aerodrome on the
Potomac river. Indeed, it seemed to me
that the experiment was of such histori,
cal Importance that it should be made
public.
"The aerodrome or flying machine it
question was of steel driven by steam
engine. 1t resembled an enormous bird
soaring in the the air with extreme regu
larity in large curves, sweeping steadily
upward in a spiral path, the sprals will
a diameter of, perhaps, one hundred
yards, until it reached height Of abou
one hundred feet in the air at the end o
course of about half mile when tn
steam gave out, the propellors whicl
had moved stopped, and then, to m.
further surprise, the whole, instead q
tumbling down, settled as slowly an,
gracefully as it is possible for any bird t,
do, touching the warer without an
= damage, and was Immediately pickle
out, and ready to be tried again.
"a second trial was like the first
{ except that the machine went in diffei
V ent direction, moving in one contnuou
gentle ascent, as if it swung around i
circles like great soaring bird. At or
time it seemed to be in danger as il
= course carried it over neighborin
a wooded promontory, but apprehensio
a was immedialy allayed, as it passe
5. twenty-five or thirty feet above the TOT

of the highest trees there, and ascending
still further, its steam finally gave out
again, and it settled into the waters OF
the river, not quite quarter OF a mile
from the point at which it arose.
mo one could have witnessed these
experiments without being convinced
that the practicability of mechanical
flight had been demonstrated"
Professor Langley also made public
supplemental statement giving some
important data regarding recent expert
ments. He said: 1.-THE aerodrome, or
flying machine, has no gas to lift it as
in the case OF a balloon; but, on the con-
trary, it is about one thousand times
heavier, bulk for bulk, than the air on
which it is made to run, and which sus-
tains it somewhat in the way in which
thin ice supports swift skater, The
power is derived from a steam engine,
through the means OF propellers, but,
owing to the scale on which the actual
aerodrome is built, there has been no
condensing apparatus to use the water
over and over. Enough can be carried
for only very brief flight, difficulty
which does not belong to larger machines
than the present example, in which the
supporting surfaces are but about four
teen feet from tip to tip. The distance
flown each time was about one-half mile.
The rate of speed depends, as in the case
of any vehicle on land, on whether it is
going on level or uphill. In the case
of this last trial Of May 6, the machine
was ascending; that is to say it was
going uphill all the time, and went
through the distance of one-half mile or
more in one and one-half minutes, or at
the rate of a little more than twenty
miles an Jour- Washington dispatch

and himself thrown some distance. He
was taken home and beyond a severe
shaking up and bruising it is thought he
is not seriously hurt. This is a blind
crossing and this is not the first and pre-
sumaby not the last accident to happen
here. There should be some way thought
of to prevent such accidents and to make
this crossing less dangerous.
