From the Morning ore0onfan.
A short time since there arrived in Portland
n young gentleman who Is q very skilful and ar.
tistic performer on the violin. On account Of
this and other good qualities. he found a warm
welcome In musical circles, and frequent gath.
erings of the unsteady inclined were held for
his entertainment and to have the pleasure q
listening TO his playing.
On one occasion last week there happened to
be present at one of these gatherings a young
lady whom he had not previously met. and who
was also a performer Of no small merit on the
violin. II was arranged among the party that
a joke should be played on the newcomer, The
%lections being played on the piano and other
Instruments by members OF the party, inter-
jeect Of Rypnotism being brought up and dis.
ing his total disbelief in this occult science;
with great feeling and taste one Of beethoysn's
%sonatas. which was loudly epplauded. Then
it would ba ii any one could be hypno-
tized and made 70, play, like that. Another
who had expressed his belief In hypnotism and
science, said he believed he could hypnotic
any member Of the party. and cause him or her
urged to make the experiment, but no one was
willing to be experimental upon. Finally
the young lady mentioned was, at the solicita-
ton Of her friends, induced to cons"nt to be
hypnotlZed.
The usual motions were gone through, and
she gradually passed into tho hypnotized state.
Then a violin and bow were placed In her hands
and she was directed to reproduce tho sonata
last played. She Went through the entire piece
without an error, and played IL about as well
as tho gentleman who had preceded her, to the
wonder and establishment OF all, and especially
TO the, first performer, He had not the least idea
that the lady was q violin player, and imagined
that there must be more In hypnotiSm than he
mad supposed. He had his revenge lator when
the Joke was explained to him by remarking
that this was a fair sample of the workings OF
lYDnOtiam.

mense crowds, the preacher received the
undivided attention of them all. and his
discourses we're complimented in the
highest terms by the entire audience,
regardless of their individual religious
opinions. Rev. Mr.. Dykeman is doing

Observation-Disclosures Sunday at
EngiewOod.-The day at church was
in every way a memorable one and one
which the large audience appreciated
and enjoyed. In addition to the mem
bers of the Columbia Post the ladies of
the Posts Relief Corps were in attend
ance. or at least representative num-
Der of them, and they contributed to the
floral decorations a Greek cross Of
beautiful flowers. which was taken later
to the cemetery to honor the graves Of
the unknown dead.
A pretty feature of the service was
the children's offering. They gave but
tonhole bouquets to the members of the
visiting post and Mr.. White, later in his
sermon, asked the veterans to leave the
little offering on the soldiers graves as
the gift of the children.
The sermon took an original form.
Above the platform the word Columbia,
gracefully outlined in green foliage, SER
we'd as text. Its letters were frame
work around which the sermon grew.
G stood for Comradeship. next in order
"Old Glory" loyalty. unity, memory.
("the nation that forgets The dead per
ishes'') and each word had the possibili-
ties of text suitable for the day.
The music was in harmony with the
service and was of itself most beauti-
full harmony. The flowers and flags ar
rayed by skillful hands gave fitting
setting for the whole.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease, and prescribed local rene
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven cataIrh to
be constitutional disease, and, there
fore, requires constitutional treatment.

F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
