Hypnotizes Fish.

NJ. J. King retired farmer Of Char
don, Ohio, is firm in the belief that
fish reason, and can also be hypno-
tized.
Five years ago Mr.. King built a pond
near his home, and stocked it with
mountain trout from a government
hatchery. The fish thrived and de-
veloped remarkable growth. There
are over 1000 trout in the pond now,
some of them weighing two and a
half pounds
Mr.. King exercises q wonderful in
fluence over some of the fish. He can
reach down and take them out of the
water pat others on the back, while
hundreds of them will eat out of his
hand.
One large trout he claims TO be able
to hypnotize When taken from Che
water, after a series of strokes on it's
sides with the hand, he fish appears to
be dead. not a movement OF its gills
being visible.
Another trout will. before being fed,
at n wave of the hand make a circuit
Of the pool, Jumping clear out o. the
water at intervals cf five o. SIX feet
and sometimes turning a somegsauIt
in its career.
Mr.. King cannot explain the actions
Of the performing trout, but is certain
that fish can be hypnot.zed.-Philadel-
