ABOUT HALLUC|NAT|ONS,
Dreams and Hypnotism Discussed
at the Academy of
Sciences.
DR.. Frank Angell Gives Scientific
Reas ons for These Mental
Vagaries.

DR.. Frank Angel delivered an interest
ing lecture last night in the hall of the
Academy of Sciences on 1.-The Scientific
Basis of Halucinations.' While it would
appear from this title that DIR. Angell's dis
course might be a flight in the higher do
main of psychology, the lecture was one
which fascinated all who were present.
So it was decidedly agreeable surprise to
those who leaned toward the popular style
of disc ussing scientific matters.
The lecturer stated that psychical activ-
ity was always accompanied with flow of
blood to the head. BY way of illustration
he said: "Place man fiat upon board
evenly balanced while has mind is not oc-
cupied. Then tell him to recite, say the
multiplication table. The instant he be-
gins his task the board will tip over with
the side on which his head rests lower
than the opposite end, showing conclu-
sively that the psychical activity pro-
duced in a mere recital of the multiplica-
ton table causes the blood to flow to his
head"
DR.. Angel told several entertaining
things about dreams. He said that ali
dreams started out from some sensation.
and they developed themselves from that
sensation. Then he described the dream of
a certain psychologist. This gentleman
dreamt he was hoeing in garden, and a
dense fog enyeloped the garden. Even the
hoe. was clouded, nothing but the hand
having remained in sight. The dreamer
on waking found his hand raised in an
awkward position and half closed. with q
sensation of pressure from q wrinkle on
the palm. It was from the pressure that

decided to place flag over the statue as
soon as the last piece had been placed and
bolted and Smith & Son, the riggers, were
employed to do the work.
Owing to the great elevation and the
difficulty of hosting a proper staff and
other paraphernalia to the top of the dome
the job was one that few firms were Will
ing to undertake and the senior mem Der
Of the firm that took the contract decided
to look after the matter himself, though
he has almost reached mans allotted
three score years and ten" He saw that
the tackle was without a flaw and that the
stout stick from which the flag was to
float was perfect piece and without
cracks. When all was in readiness he
clim bed to the top of the great coppered
dome and superintended the lashing of
the staff to the upraised arm that holds
the torch.
Then the great flag, nineteen feet in
length, was made fast to the haIliards and
unfurled. Owing to the weight of the flag
and staff and the great force exerted by
the wind at that altitude the fastenings of
both bunting and staff were of the strong
est and considerable anxiety was felt at
first regarding the ability of the statue to
stand the strain. Everything held, how
ever, and the flag is visible from almost
every section of the City.
The distance from the flag to the street
is something over $40 feet.

It is noticeable that 10 meetings have
been called to sustain the President In the
position he took in his Venezuelan boun-
dairy message in respect 20 the Monroe
doctrine. The reason IS apparent No
meetings are necessary. The President
expressed the sentiments OF the people
a few peaceR meetings have been held.
The one in Cooper Institute. New York
city. was the most notable Of them. At
that meeting there came near being serI-
Gus trouble. Had not the lights been
turned out a resolution commencing the
President would have been adopted. a
number of meetings that had been called
10 condemn the President were aban~
doned before the time for them. because
it became apparent that the people We're
with the President.
Here and there a college professor or a
newspaper editor has bobbed up to say
that the Venezuela message was a blum
der-that the President hasn't a proper
understanding OF the Monroe doctrine.
The college professors are not in touch
with the people. Outside OF the narrow
limits Of their text books their opinions
on any subject are of little consequence.
There is a strong suspicion that the news
paper editors who put themselves in OPP
position to the President voieed only the
commercial spirit Of their respective COM
munities.
II must be a source of satisfaction that
in congress no voice has been raised in
condemnation Of his message or to eriti-
else his Interpretation Of the Monroe doc
ttine. Even such prominent republicans
as Senators Sherman and Lodge have de-
clared that all the President has said and
done in the matter is right.
The President pursued the wiser course
in letting Great Britain know just how
the American people feel in respect to the
Monroe doctrine. He spoke strongly and
the American people responded promptly
and almost unanimously that his utter
anee met their approval. If his message
had been weak in spirit and non-commital
I'm tone there would have been no response
and Great Britain would have understood
that the American people were Indifferent
about the boundary dispute and the Mon
roe doctrine. With that understanding
she would have paid no attention to the
objections of our government.
At first she was inclined to the opinion
from the utterances of two New York
newspapers and the Cooper Institute peace
meeting, that the President was not sus-
tained by the people. and she was dis
posed TO treat the Presidents message
with indifference. She knows now, how
ever, that the President has the support
Of congress and the people and she will
be less likely to invite war by persisting
in refusing to accept a peaceful method
for settling the boundary dispute.

Financial Astuteness OF a CoIIie-

bune,. is a collie dog that possesses the
peculiar faculty of being able to distin
guish by their step, or touch on the door

Of the store, but the dog paid no atten-
ton to them, Suddenly she jumped from
her hiding place and rushed to the door,
barking furiously. The door opened and
in came a beggar asking for aims and
the dog kept up snarling and barking
until he left. Then she retired TO her
corner and remained fully ten minutes
unmindful of the Corners and goers, when
suddenly she again bounded to the door
and began barking. This time the visitor
was one of those insinuating individuals
who pretend to buy old clothes, and the
dog drove him out without word of
command.
The owner of the collie says she has new
er been trained to this trick, and he has
no idea how she picked it up, but for years
she has been able to tell in some mystic
rious manner, before she can see the per-
son, whether he is a patron or an obiec-
tionable interloper. and she has never
made a mistake.
