That it is scientifically possible for

week, when Herr Zancig and Nine.
Zancig. the noted telepathists. will re-

such sensation recently, during their
tour of the world. Mind reading is said
to be as much a fact as wireless te1eg-

by the fact that the thought waves OF
the former are said to operate very
much on the same principle as the cleo
trio waves of the latter. Both are pro-

Wallows Still There.

A curiosity Of the plains is the buffa-
10 wallows There has not been a
buffalo in them for 80 years, but they
are the same to-day as they were gen.
erations, or even centuries, ago. They
are no longer freQuented by cattle, OF
course, and therefore not freshly worn,
but they remain to this day barren
and black amid the vast plain of liv-
ing green. In the spring they stand
full of water until the advancing sum-
mer sun evaporates 1t, and then they
are barren and black again. They
are perfect circles, some large as cir
Gus ring, and their basins are packed
firm and hard by the tread and roll OF
many generations of the bison. An
other recollection here Of this extinct
race Is the buffalo birds, which abound
in great numbers. Their function now,
as in the time of the bison, Is to pick
insects from the backs of the cattle
which feed on the plains. Sometimes
twenty or more feed on steers back,
while the steer calmly and with evil
dent pleasure munches buffalo grass.

During these hot afternoons and eye nings there is no cooler or more desira- ble place to spend two hours than at the Savin Rock theater.
