1t win Be Held Next Tuesday Even
ing.

A mass meeting of the Kansas ave
nue. property owners who are inter
ested in securing the repaving of Kan
sas avenue has been called for next
Tuesday evening at the Commercial
club rooms The executive committee
appointed by the property owners at
their last meeting and consisting of A.
A. GODDARD, c. z. Jewell and M. Snat-
finger, will present the result of their
Investigations at that time.
1--WE haven't any facts to present
as to the probable cost of repaving,
but I personally believe that we can
do it at a cost of 20 cents per square
yard after we once get started said
c. E. Jewell.
I'VE agreed not to say anything for
publication in advance of the meet
ing and we have nothing to give out
a s to what we have to report to the
property owners for Tuesday evening.
I'VE had a meeting at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon and at that time went
over what We had investigated. We
really haven't any facts to present
about a municipal plant in fact we
didn't discuss the probable cost of such
a plant at all The statement that it
would cost $4,000 is along the lines
of the talk which has already been
made in the papers and there is moth
ing in it that I know Of"

What definite facts has science
acquired?' asks Vance Thompson, in
his article THE Invisible World" in
the March Everybody's.
The change of personality; that is
classic now. The evidence for telep-
athy is indubitable. That may seem
a bold statement; it is a commonplace
for those who are in touch with the
latest experiments of the netaphysic
clinics. Only a few years ago-before
Pasteur eame-it would have been
deemed sheer idiocy to talk of study
ing typhoid fever or cholera or erysip-
elias in a laboratory. Telepathy is an
acquired certainty-as much as Har-
vey's theory of the circulation of the
blood, which three academies of phys
icians declared impossible.
And the explanation of the strange
phenomena; are they hints and insti-
cations from another WoFld-the in
tervention of the spirits of the dead,
of angels or demons? This is the
opinion held by almost all the sects of
the occult, those who worship in the
hundred and one little religions of
mysticism. Science does not go quite
so far. It declares:
s:First=There exist in nature GER
tain unknown forces capable of acting
on matter.
s'(This covers all the objective phe-
nomena Of metaphysics, such as the
transport of bodies from one place to
another, luminosity, etc.
"Second-We possess other means
of knowing than those of reason or the
senses.
s'CThis applies to the subjunctive
phenomena Of meta physics. including
teIepathy, second sight, clairvoyance). i"

The teaching of parrots to talk has
occupied the attention of bird enthu-
siasts for many years, says the March
issue of The Technical World Maya
zine, but it has remained for one Mrs.
Hope of Philadelphia to utilize a
modern invention to relieve the weary
tedium of teaching Polly.
The parrot learns by sound. not by
the sense of what it hears, and it is
only by machine-like repetition of the
sentence that Polly can be made to
talk. Mrs. Hope has done away with
the necessity for this drudgery by
placing a photograph close to Polly's
perch, and by keeping the talking ma
chine repeating for hours at a time
the sentence which the parrot is to
learn, she accompiishes the best and
quickest results. In this way the par
rot will learn a sentence in a week,
while to become proficient in number
of sentences requires about six
months. Those who have attempted
the almost insurnountable obstacle of
teaching Polly a number of senten ces.
will at once recognize the practical
efficiency of the talking machine as a
teacher.
