Herr Granada and Mile. Alma Fedora,
the aerialists, will continue the star
attraction at Wonderland the coming
week. These performers are the most
daring in this line that have yet ap-
peared. Some Of their feats are orr
ginal and ingenious. Their impersona-
ton Of an elephant is a quaint concep-
ton. The spectacle of a representa-
tive Of the monarch of the animal king
dom ambling along seventy feet above
ground supported only by thread-hke
wire is strange one. It has it's comedy
phase, of course, but at the same time
1t is a difficult and hazardous act, the
performers being practically blind
Folded and using only one balancing
pole between them.
Their program Of stunts can include
everything done on the high wire by
other performers. Granada carries
Mile. Fedora across the wire standing
on his shoulders and when she holds a
wheel in her hand, trundles her like a
wheelbarrow. He walks the wire on
stills, stands up in chair, stands on
his head on the wire and INDUCES in
other feats Of equilibrium that are
equally astonishing.
Granada was born in Berlin, Ger
many, forty-six years ago and learned
to walk the wire when at school.
Afterward, service in the German navy
added to his proficiency. When 20
years old he started out to see the
world and in South America became a

circus performer, afterward owning
the show. He drifted to Peru and took
part in one Of the periodical revolu-
lions Of that country. He was arrested
as spy and was sent with other prls-
oners to an island to be executed. He
made his escape and going to the inte-
rior for year was superintendent Of
sugar factory. His identity becoming
known he had to flee and, going back
to Peru, enlisted in the United States
navy there. He came to San Francis
co on the Shenandoah in 1887 and once
more became wire-walker. He first
attracted attention there by walking
the wire there from the Cliff house to
the seal rocks. In 1889 he walked
wire at the Minneapolis exposition
which was strung across the light well.
Since then he has performed in nearly
every country Of the world. China,
Japan and Australia are the only ma
tions +" has not visited.
Alma Fedora, who performs with
him, is his wife. They have. been mar
solo ballet dancer with Kiralfy.
Another feature on the program Of
free open-air acts at Wonderland will
be the Julien family of performers on
the Roman rings.
Warmer weather is giving people. an
idea Of Wonderland s real attractive
ness as a pleasure resort. The score of
amusement devices not only furnish
entertainment of sufficiently diversi-
fed interest to warrant visit after
visit, but it is recreation as well as
amusement and the people return home
refreshed and rested. The swift rides
thru the air furnish cool breezes, the
eye is pleased with brilliant illumina-
tions and the ear with good music.

music is to be given by the Journal

Palmist,y an Ant An,ong the Chinese

With the Chinese, palmistry is q
branch Of an ancient art which in
cludes physiognomy, phrenology and
general inspection of the human body.
Its origin has been assigned to prehis-
toric times-the third millennium be-
fore Christ, says Herbert A. Giles, in
the Nineteenth Century.
The object Of this art is twofold:
to ascertain the mental and moral char
acteristics Of persons, and to foreteA
happiness or misfortune, success or fail
ure, disease and death.
only, an attempt will be made to show
what the Chinese people have to say
on subject which has been much to
the front OF late years, and especially
in the last few weeks. One writer says:
The presence Of lines in the hand
may be compared with the grain Of
wood: If the grain Of wood is beauti-
lent material; and if the lines in the
hand are beautiful that hand is OBJ
viously well constituted. Therefore, a
hand cannot but have lines on it, those
which have lines being of higher or
der than those which have none. Fine
and deep lines mean success; coarse and
shallow lines mean failure. OF the three
lines on the palm, the uppermost an
swers to heaven; it connotes sovereign
or father, and determines station in life.
The middle line answers to man; it
connotes wisdom or folly, and deter
mines poverty or wealth. The lowest
line answers to earth; it. connotes sub
ject or mother, and determines length
of days. If these three lines are well
defined and, unbroken they are an au-
curry of happiness and wealth. Vertical
lines in excess mean rebellious nature
and calamity; horizontal lines in, excess
mean a foolish nature and ill success
A vertical line running up the finger
random lines, which cross the creases of
the fingers, mean that they will fail
Lines which are fine and resemble tan.
gled silk mean wit and beauty; coarse
lines, like the grain Of the scrub oak
mean stupidity and low estate. Lines
like scattered filings mean a bitter life;

Divine Art is used for taking hold
and this causes lines to appear on it
If these lines are long the nature will
be kindly and generous; if short, NEAR
and grasping. A man whose hanc
reaches below his knees will top his gen

only to his waist will ever be poor anc

About fifteen years ago small
troupe of dogs and ponies delighted an
audience in the small "operahouse
in Bloomington, Ind, town Of about
600. Henry B. Gentry, the owner of the
CANNES, cleared enough money to take
his sagacious pets down to Bedford,
twenty-five miles away. That was the
humble beginning Of the now famous
Gentry Shows known from coast to
coast.
Soon each Of the four Gentry broth
ers had show, and each was remark
ably successful. Poor young men at
the start, they are now able to pass
over the rainy days when the crowds
are not as big as usual without mo-
ment s worry. Henry B. Gentry, man
ager of the big eastern show, is one
of the largest property owners in In
diana, and his brothers have Jared
almost as well. f... D..
The shows that come to Thirteenth
street and Nicollet next Monday for a
week s engagement are known as their
big eastern shows, this being their first
appearance in the west. Their eastern
shows are said to be the largest ever
owned by this well-known circus firm
and are twice as large as, their western
company which played Minneapolis last
year. ..., :.
The Gentry Shows never grow old, for
they appeal especially to women and
children: Just as a child learns things,
so do these dogs and ponies, and the
various other animals, increase their

Of Herman Bellstedt's engagement
