HOO HOO is COMING,

Boulder VIII Entertain This Organization
Next Wednesday.
Denver is putting up With the Hoo
Hoo this week. There will be four DAYS
of convention work and all kinds of
mysterious doings. Hoo Hoo is singular
and plural according as you wish. it to
be. There is no IS" addition to indicate
more than one. Like the Kilkenney cats
the members speak for themselves.
Well. the Hoo Hoo will come to Boulder
next Wednesday. to enjoy the beauties
of the city and country life combined,
and will doubtless take the Switzerland
trail over the narrow gauge to Ward and
Mont Alto. This peculiar organization
began existence somewhere near the
boundary line of Texas and New Mexico
several years ago. Nine people consist.
ing OF drummers, newspaper men and
other people of Bohemian tastes are re
sponsible for its existence, and B.
Arthur Johnson of ST. Louis, the man
who wrote Its ritual, was one of Its
earliest members and is now seer of the
House of Ancients. But just wait for
Wednesday and you shall see what you
shall see.
Among those registered from Boul.
der are T. McAllister and wife.

CAPTURED THE TOWN.
Miss BERTHE Beriin's Singing in Kansas City

Miss BERTHE beriin's Singing in Kansas City
Delighted the People.
The Camera requested Miss Berlin to
secure clippings of Kansas City papers
making notice of her singing at Troost
park, a favorite resort of that city, with
the intention OF reproducing them. For
the Camera is always delighted when
a Boulderi,e achieves DISTINCTION, no
matter who he or she may be. 1t ap
pears, however. that it undertook great
deal when its editor even essaycd to
read the may nice things said of Boul-
der's tavorlte soprano. The Kansas City
papers were full of Miss Berthe Berlin.
They fairly raved over her. Miss Berlin

Troost proves an attraction for thou.

headlines giving her singing unwonted
prominence. And these articles were
not written by necessarily friendly critics.
They appeared by different critics in the

papers. one German newspaper publish.
ing hattering notice. While Miss
| Berlin is decidedly favorite in Boulder
the writer feels that there is Just trifie
of danger that Kansas City or some
other large city may entice our song bird
away from US. The following notice
/ from the Times is not the best but is
one Of the briefest and is, therefore, re-
produced:
at was promised to visitors at Troost
park that there would be musical treat
for them this week and the management
has redeemed that promise by present.
ing Miss Berthe Berlin. who has withou,
doubt the best voice which has vet been
heard at the park. 1t is not often that a
voice of such sweetness and yet of such
power and range is heard, and when one
is found it becomes the ideal one for a
park. The selections which Miss Berlin
gave yesterday might be deemed heavy
for Sunday audience at park, since
they included the 'Inffammatus' from
'Stabat Mater. and the aria. These are
They That Come. from the Oratorio
The Holy City, but they seemed to be
thoroughly appreciated by the unusually
large audiences. In responding to en-,
cores Miss Berlin sang some OF those
ballads which are old but ever &C.
Iceptable."
| Speaking of a grand opera night there
the Journal says: "The especial features
Of the concert were the solos by Miss
Berthe Berlin. the orator,o prima donna,
Who has been lcaping into popularity
this week. Miss Berlin's first number
was the brilliant soprano aria from
Faust. which brought out prolonged ap.
plause."
Miss Berlin's FIRST appearance in Boul-
der succeeding this decisive conquest
will be in the operet,a THE Merry Milk
Mazda"

Why, even Galen. who is regarded by
the medical profession as their patron
saint, was firm believer. More remark
able still, that redoubtable warrior,
Alexander the Great, never went into
battle without having had his hand
told. So did Charlemagne, the Emperor
of the Franks. and Herman, the de-
liverer of Germany
In later years l can indicate even
more notable examples. Napoleon Bo-
naparte and Richelieu, one of the
greatest minds ever produced by
France, were ardent believers in the
science. Then. if these great instances
are not enough, can point to millions
mind and character, derived from the
reading of the hand, all of which show
the exactitude of palmistry as a sci
ence.
With regard to the future we palmists
claim, on absolutely unassailable
grounds, that the lines of the hand indi-
cate quite as clearly the future as the
past We have the Bible as authority
In the book Of Job, xxxvii:7, I read In
the hands of all men God placed some
signs, that they could thus know their
works" Revelation, xiv:9: And re-
ceive this mark Gods on his fore
head or in his hand Proverbs, iii:16:
Length of days are in her right hand,
riches and honor in her left" I Samuel,
xxvi:18: What evil is in my hand"
Many other quotations could be given,
and even in 1885, under Sextus V, the

Christian church found no harm in
palmistry and several of its priests
were adopts in the art If the church
rose in it's power against palrnistry, the
cause of this change must be solely as
cribed to the pagan gypsies having
made the art to some extent tn ir own,
and thus brought it-into the worst re-
pute. The Papal bull says so explicitly.
Let me quote from Balzac, the, great
est writer Of psychological fiction that
ever lived: 'If God has printed the
destiny. of each man on his physiog.

total expression of the body, why
should not the hand give the char

The Chinese, who are thorough be-
levers in the old-fashioned chiromancy
not scientific but astrologic, have a sys-
tenn of divination by the study of the
impression left by the ball of the
thumb pressed on a lump of soft wax.

such marks on the parchment deeds

method has been largely adopted for
the Identification Of law-breakers.
In the same way there are not two
hands whose shape and lines are iden-
itical, and there are not two lines whose
experiences coincide. Our fates are af-.
fected by the communication of sensa-
ton from the mind. to the hand: Medi-
cal science has demonstrated the fact
that the hand contains more nerves
than any other portion of the system,
and the palm contains more than any
other portion of the hand. It has also
been shown that the nerves from the
brain to the hand are so highly de-
veloped by generations of use, that the
hand, whether passive or active, is in
every sense the immediate servant of
the brain. -
Practically our fate is written on our
hands. The exquisite sensibility of the
nerve system declares itself on every
mark and line of our hands, showing
not only what we have been but what
we are to be. The ancient Brahmins
understood this method of reading the
future thoroughly, and with the spread
of the Hindco teachings into other
lands, do we. trace the spread of the
knowledge of palmistry. The Hindoo
Vedas ARE the oldest scriptures that
have been found, and according to some
