In an inquiry by the Society for
Psychical Research, $4,000 known per-
sons have denied ever having had hal
lucinations, while 5000 persons have
reported false impressions of seeing or
being touched. Mr.. F. Legge finds
that in the larger part of the latter
cases the persons supposed they saw
living or dead acquaintance He con-
cludes that unconscious memory plays
the greatest part in these receptions,
and that visual records of the brain
are more often excited than those of
hearing and touch because more num-
erous and varied.

OLD FAvoRITlEs.
WAIKIKI

(Republished by request)
The cocoa, with it's crest of spears,
Stands sentry round the crescent
shore,
And algaroba, bent with years,
Keeps watch beside the lanai door.
The cool winds fan the mango's cheek,
The mynah fits from tree to tree,
And zephyrs to the roses speak
Their sweetest words at Waikiki.
Like truant children of the deep
Escaped behind a coral wall,
The listing wavelets laugh and leap,
Nor heed old oceans stern recall.
All day they frolic with the sands,
Kiss pink-lipped shells in wanton glee,
Make winrows with their patting hands.
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki.
The closing curtain of the night
Is shading down the gold to gray,
And on the reef the fiaring light
OF brown-armed fisher, far away,
Dyes red the waves that thunder by
The sturdy bulwarks of the sea,
And breaking into ripplets, die
Upon the breast of Waikiki.
sHT
Now come wild echoes through the air,
Ana SnaOOW OF q TU6Seu Lace,
With iron limbs and shoulders bare
The chieftain OF dusky race
Whose hostile front, with lifted lance.
And war-prows fiecking all the sea,
Swept through ths palms with bold adj
vance
Along the shores of Waikiki.
And all unchecked in martial course
Nv or IF fnQ
The misty columns move In force,
Their chieftain leading as they go,
Up, up Nuuanus rocky bed
Till, looking down through clouds,
they see
The beetling front of Diamond Head
And silver sands of Waikiki.
On! on! the foe has reached the verge,
And Ger the Pals awful side,
With shout and stroke and battle-surge
Is poured a shrieking human tide.
Then all is still: the work is done.
And thus the shadows come to me
When twilight clouds, kissed by the sun,
Have bronzed the shores of Waikiki.
And then, with tropic murmurs blent,
Come distant voices half divine;
While mingled with the ylangylang's
scent
Is breath of sage and mountain pine;
And from Diablo's vine-clad feet,
From desert bleak and green Maumee,
Are waited strains to me as sweet
AS e'er were heard at Waikiki.
o Waikiki o scene of peace!
o home of beauty and of dreams!
No haven in the isles of Greece
Can chord the harp to sweeter themes;
For houris haunt the broad lanais,
While scented zephyrs cool the lea,
And, looking down from sunset skies,
The angels smile on Waikiki.

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 2O.-Manager
McCarry of the Century Athletic club re-
ceived a telegram from Fitzsimmons shortly
before noon today, stating the conditions
under which he would accept the clubs
offer to pull of the proposed fight with
JeffriesI in this city. The text Of Fitzsim-
mons message has not been given out, but
1t is understood that he asks for 20 per
cent Of the gate receipts and a guarantee
Of SIS, 900. This combines two of the clubs
original bids of a 325, 900 cash purse or rs
per cent Of the gate receipts without a
guarantee and raises by $1,000 and 5 per
cent the third bid OF 20 per cent Of the
gate receipts and $4,000 guarantee.
Manager McCaFry and his associates,
James F.. Morley and John Brink, are in
consultation, and will not make known
their plans until a decision is reached.
They will reply to Fitzsimmons' propo-
sition.
The club ~ofncials are inclined to laugh at
the suggestion that the New Yorker can
have anything to say about prices for the
fight
President McCarry Of the Century club
stated this evening that he had received
FitEsimmons' telegram and had replied in
behalf OF the club.
"F1tzsimmons is too exactinG." said Nc
Carry. He combines two of our propo-
sitions and wants both. We still think our
bid Of a s25, 900 cash purse IL the best to
be had, and hope Fitzsimmons will come to
see 1t that way. We have replied to his
telegram, but l am not ready to state the
conditions made therein. An answer is ex-
pected tonight, however. II it comes we
will know Just where we stand"
NEW YORK, March 2O.-The telegram OF
the manager Of the Century Athletic club
to Fitzsimmons stated that the fighter
would have to accept definitely one Of the
bids submitted, failing to do which the
club would cancel its offers. Fitzsimmons
shortly afterward replied to the telegram,
adhering to the position he had originally
taken and saying that the club could either
| acquiesce or call its bids of.

although they we're too late TO save any
