better than usually seen. There are
certainly many new and interesting
features that will be remembered for
some time. Aside from the Durbar,
the distinctive novelties Of this year s
show are the bicycle acts. Three Of
the riders defy gravity and such mum
dane thing a. ordinary safety with a
recklessness that was something apall
ing One daring feature was that Of
two unicyclists who rode down a long
inclined ladder on one wheel, one man
resting Oh the shoulders of the other.
The "looping the gap" is another way
OF "looping the loop" only portion Of
the loop is taken ont and AncillOtti, the
rider, passes through space while on the
upward turn. Vols, whose act termi-
mated so disastrously at the evenings
performances, undoubtedly performs the
most perilous feat OF the three.
The hippodrome races close the show
as in former years and were about the
same as usual. The clowns were all
good and kept the crowd amused while
the performers were resting. Spader
Johnson and Slivers were the two clowns
who brought the most applause from
the benches although Sam Watson and
his educated roosters, cat, goose and
dogs were accorded their share. Buster
Brown and his dog Tige were in evidence

Barnum & Bailey Show Pronounced
Great Attraction BY
Everybody.

There was ouly one incident that
occurred TO mar the Barnum & Bailey
circus performance in Alma last Tues
day. During the evening show, Nolo,
the Volitant. whose name in real life is
Dr. o. b. CLARK, of Kansas City, Mo-,
and who takes perilous ride on a
bicycle down an inclined plane, leaping
through space of 30 feet to another
platform and TO the ground, overesti-
mated the distance of the landing and
struck too far over, the front OF the
wheel collapsing and hurling the rider
bea: foremost to the ground The brave
fellow .as picked mp unconscious and
placed IN caxe Of DR.. Ivers, one of the
circus physicians. who had the injured
man taken to "TheN. Alma" where he
was examined for BROKEN bones and
internal injuries. IL was H'ound that
miraculously DIR. CLARK ha& escaped
with nothing more than a fe,w bad
bruises. no bones being broken and
apparently no internal injuries haze
developed AT present he is resting
comfortably and will be out again in
few days. The shock was quite severe
and il will be some time before he will
fully recover from the effects. In the
afternoon the doctor made the same
leap with his usual safety.
The Barnum and Bailey circus this
season is superior TO all previous efforts,
many new features having been intro
duced IN hair-raising acts that serve to
give the people their moneys worth.

ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The annual address TO the Christian
Associations was delivered on Sunday
afternoon at three o'clock in the college
chapel by Rev. w. II Long '98, of Elk
Rapids. For several years past this ad
dress has been given on a mid-week
evening. The change to Sunday after
noon is an improvement. 1t was the
first time that an alumnus has had the
honor of speaking on such an OCCASION,
but the excellence of his talk was such
that it will probably not be the last.
Mr. Longs theme was, that 1t is not
enough 10 be under the teaching Of
Jesus Christ; in addition TO that. one
must take Him as master. The thought
was worked out clearly, logically and
Interestingly.

Mr.. Bryan seems to have had pleasant
meeting in Chicago Saturday night and he
gave his views of the platform adopted by
the New York Democrats last week.
From the reports sent from Chicago Mr..
Bryan evidently felt that he was justified
in offering few friendly criticisms-mo
we take it, on account of the matters
omitted from the New York declaration
than because of the things included in il.
So far as the latter are concerned they are
entirely unObjectiOnable as far as they go.
We do not understand that the New York
convention had any intention of anticipat-
ing the action of the national convention.
1t was probably for that reason that no
reference was made to matters concerning
which there may be reasonable grounds
for difference of opinion. Such questions,
of course, are open to discuss at any time
by any Democrat, but they must be settled
in the convention at ST Louis There
seems to have been both wisdom and
moderation on the part of the New York
Democrats in combining their platf orm to
brief announcements upon questions
about which they might have supposed
there would not be, two ways of thinking
This is year when the party must speak
as whole, once and finally, so far as con-
Germs this campaign 1t can only do that
at St Louis. No individual and no State
can settle the national platform prior to
that. Therefore everyone should keep
cool and remain good natured 1t will be
time enough 10 warm up when the con-
ventien meets, end there really will be
little trouble about it then. There is
nothing frigid about St. Louis in July.

Animal Hypnotism.
W. T. Hornaday, Director New L-.l Ln--a-

w T. Hornaday, Director New York Zoolog
 teal Park, in St. Nicholas
 The question whether some animals have the power to hypnotize others s largely mat ter of opinion. My own view is that tne-e is no such thing as hyprotism among animals There undoubtedly is fear-paralysls which might easily be called hypnotistn; put I do not think 1t belongs in that class of phe- nomena. Human beings are at times as much subject to fear paralysis as are birds that are attacked by dangerous serpents. Paralysis from fear Is a very different thing from hypnotic influence. Hypnotism is always exercised to the will of the operator. Fear on tn eother hand. often produces complete paralysis of the voluntary muscles and also of the brain, by a process which I consider entirely different.
