different exercises, fully as much as
did the audience.
A game of drive ball closed the
exhibition which was pronounced a
decided success. Drive ball is new
game but affords considerable amuse-
ment. The ball is struck with the
hand and each side has a goal for
which she lab0rs. However there is a
dead line" drawn through the center
OF the court over which the members
of neither side are permitted to pass.
The class taking part in the exer-
cises Saturday night consisted of the
following named young women:
Misses Esther Collins, Oskle Mat
thews, Roxy Thompson, Rebecca
Baldaree, Jessie Settlemler, Edna
Price, Margaret Parkhurst, Lizzie
Aschenbrenner, Cora Griswold, Ida
Harris, Neva Griswold, Edna Pohle
and Pearl Carter.
This was the initial performance of
the Young Women's Athletic Associ-
alton and reflects great credit on
Director Brown. Miss Blanche Nc
Cormick presided at the piano.
Ihe young women are highly
pleased with the exhibition from
financial standpoint at least, since
they realized S25 over all expenses.

any doubts whatever as to the enter
tanning ability of the Young Women's
Athletic Association of Willamette
university should have been in atten-
dance at the first exhibition given by
the young women at the university
gymnasium Saturday night and had
all such doubts entirely removed from
their minds.
About $50 of the friends of the
school assembled at the gymnasium
TO witness the performance which
was indeed greatly enjoyed. The pro-
gram as rendered was exceptionally
fine and each of the young athletes
acquitted herself very creditably.
The dumbbell exercise and figure

in one of her best recitations and was
accorded hearty encore to which the

Tyndal, the mighty mind reader,
the great master of mystery, who the
past week astounded the citizens Of
Salem by his infallable faculty of
reading as from an open book the
thoughts Of Others will, on Wednes-
day night next. May 13, give grand
demonstration Of the sublime mys-
terles of occultism such as has never
been conceived nor witnessed in Sa-
lem. The seance will embrace hypno-
tism, telepathy, mesmerism and many
other strange, wierd and beautiful
manifestations of the wonders of
Ghostland and illustrate his infalli-
BILE power to materialize and clothe as
in flesh and features the habltues
of the spirit world. He essays TO do
nothing that he cannot do, and the
people gaze In rapturous admiration
at his work. His works are not the
relics of hy-gcncages, but substantial
facts OF .oday ,irrofutatle and living
truths. This is positively his last
public appearance in Salem.
