MRS. TURMAN'S ADDRESS.
Hypnotism and Pa1mistry Explain
ed by the Doctor.

DR.. (Mrs.) thurman of San Francisco
explained hypnotism and palmistry to
an audience composed chiefly of women
at Pioneer Hall last night. Her ad-
dress was not so much a lecture as a
running talk, broken by experiments il
hypnotism.
A lady travelling with DR.. Truman
was introduced as a subject and was
subjected to treatment that resulted in
what the operator pronounced hypnotic
sleep, followed by catalepsy and par
the subjects pulse, which he found to
be rapid. Her eyes were dilated, and
her left hand was cold-all said to be
the results of hypnotic suggestion.
DIR. thurman is a whitehaired, tall
and dignified woman of commanding
presence and she is a good talker.
One of the most important and interest
ing portions of the evening was the an
swering of questions written by audit
ors on slips of paper. A member of the
audience read each folded question
some twenty in all-and the lady would
touch the paper when forwarded and
reply at once. The auctions nearly all
related to the future, however and time
alone can test the correctness of the
replies
The speaker held that clairvoyance is
developed from within. not from spirits.
She says it is a function of the solar
plexus. She read few palms and urged
the Importance of studying nature.

Board of Architects and the Building
Committee of the Exposition to work
out in their minds just what would be
needed to make the coming Fair one of
the most beautiful ever constructed and
while they have worked a number of
people who failed to appreciate the
mass of necessary preliminary work
have worried and wondered why some
thing was not done.
They may stop wondering now, for
the prelinainaries are well under way
and the actual work of draughting the
buildings will soon begin.
That the results will be pleasing may
be easily imagined when considerations
is given to the beauty of the plan as
prepared and completed. There is Il
vast amount of work to be done, but
when it is done the results will be
amazing in their completeness and
beauty.
There have been bigger expositionss
but none so beautiful.

DIARIES At THE PAVILION.
sILos AND CREAMERIES TO BE
GREAT FEATURES.
Secretary Shields Tells Of Some of
the Good Things I'm
der Way.

Secretary Shields of the State Agri-
cultural Association says the State Fair
promises to be largely attended Though
busy man yesterday. he gave a Rec
ord Union reporter an outline of some
of the striking features Of the strictly
Agricultural department Of the big
show.
"Well, among other things" he said,
"we'H have a number of useful things
for farmers and. others interested i'll
dairying. We shall have a complete
creamery plant in operation, with all
/ the latest appliances, showing the sepa-
rator in action. There will be an exhi-
bition of dairy cattle from the choicest
California herds. There will also. be
superior animals from noted Eastern
herds, among them some that We're
winners at the Columbian Exposition,
Chicago"
do you expect to have anything to
illustrate modern scientific farming? 2"
was asked.
Yes, SIR" said the Secretary, land
among these things I cannot name
anything more interesting than the silo.
We shall give an object lesson in pre-
serving silage, and there will be silo
cutting machine in motion SO as to
show all points of the work To add
to the interest in all these departments,
the California Dairy Association will
hold meetings during the Fair, being in
session the 18th and 18th. Products
from the best creameries in the State
will be on exhibition. and no one inter-
ested in dairies creameries, or dairy
cattle, can afford to miss the fair
Another feature of the Fair, which is
attracting much interest. is the Philip
pine village of typical native houses
and products with curiosities and now
elites from the island wonderland that
| is just now the talk of the world.
Space is still going very fast, and To-
cal firms are making arrangements to
| make more elaborate displays than in
the past. The city is being more fully
canvassed and cooperation among the
various committees is very effective.
| 1t is believed that a wel1-known San
Francisco amusement manager will
soon be obtained to take charge of the
entertainment features and help to ar
range the pavilion.
The coming week will be a busy one
among the local committees, and there
is every evidence that their work will
be very effective.

An ornithologist, having investigated
the question of at what hour in sum-
mer the commonest small birds wake
up and sing, states that the greenfinch
is the earliest riser, as it pipes as early
as 80 o'clock in the morning, the
blackcap beginning at 2:30 o'clock. 1t
is nearly 4 o'clock and the sun is well
about the horizon before the first real
songster appears in the person of the
blackbird He is heard half an hour
before the thrush, and the chirp of the
robin begins about the same length of
time before that of the wren. Finally
the house sparrow and the tom-tit oc-
cupy the last place ON the list. The
investigation has altogether ruined the
lark's reputation for early rising. That
much celebrated bird is quite slug

Is the Wheat Crop Lost ?

The universal opinion among farmers
is that the wheat crop is irreparably
lost. An exchange says even the most
experienced crop prophet can hardly
yet determine the actual damage to a
single field. Injury to such hardy
plants as wheat is not caused by freez-
ing but by too rapid thawing. To de-
termiDe the injury resulting from too
rapid thawing the incipient stems
should be split open and if small,
dark spot can be detected in the center
it is tolerably certain that the germ is
dead, even should the plant otherwise
appear thrifty. If an early rolling is
practicable, wheat may in measure
recuperate even after rough usage.
