INVESTIGATE HYPNOTISM.
Over 200 Persons Engaged to Sift
Subject to the Bottom.

A New York dispatch says of a
searching investigation to be made
into the mysteries Of hypnotism:
Two hundred persons have just
been formed into a class in this city
to serve as subjects for the greatest
investigation into the mysteries Of
hypnotism ever projected.
The experiments, it was announced
yesterday, will be made under the
auspices of the Society for Physical
Research. The experiments will be
conducted by DR.. Gustav A. Gayer of
1S1 West Sixty-third street, a psy-
chologist Of international renown. It
is said that President Roosevelt is
taking deep interest in DR.. Gayer's
work.
The possibilities of the investiga-
tions as outlined by DR.. Gayer are
unbounded. 1t Is likely, he says. that
much of the strange period of hui
man life beyond the cloudland where
history begins will be revealed
through the subjects under hypnotic
One ignorant servant girl, while
hypnotized, has already told things
about the life of prehistoric, Egypt,
previously unknown. other subjects
he says, have revealed strange things
connected with what the metemphy-
choslsts would call previous existence.
The results of this inquiry into the
sub-conscious minds of an army of
mental monstrosities are it is design
ed, to form the basis for curing dis
ease and preventing crime in the
generations to come.

Research, of which Sir Arthur Bal

1t appears that their system hav-
ing once found a footing, has grown
much in favor among the interior
dealers, and out-of-town checks are,
/. is understood, forming a much
greater proportion of the remittance
to New York than has been the case
for years.
The contracts made by New York
merchants usually specifically call
for payment in New York exchange,
and there is distinct disposition on
the part of the larger class of mer-
chants to compel a full recognition
Of this requirement. Any waving Of
this provision possesses a distinct in
terest for New York banks, in that
the country institutions have less in
centive to keep funds on deposit here
so long as their customers are not
buying New York exchange, an this
in turn, encourages boarding of un-
! necessary balances throughout the
south and west by banks there locat-
ed. New York banks are Of the
opinion that concerted action by New
York merchants to demand New
York exchange will do more to COM
pei the out-of-town banks immedi-
ately to discontinue their boarding
tactics than anything else. The in
terror banks, it is known, are averse

The two societies mentioned are

and the organization which he found

lishment of the projected hypnotic
charity, he says.

of Merchants National.
President ]. Frank Watson of the
Merchants National bank, will begin
today to arrange for the reopening OF
that bank, says the Portland Oregon
nian. On his return from Washing
ton last Saturday night he announc-
ed that the bank would reopen as
soon as the preliminaries could be
arranged, and he will set to work at
once upon the details. 1t is not ex-
pected that these matters will re-
quire more than a few weeks, so
within so days all should be ready
for the doors of the institution to
swing open again.
President Watson had not had an
opportunity to confer with the other
officers of the bank yesterday, but
will begin this work today, and it is
probable that within a few days
definite announcement OF his plan
can be made. In a general way this
will consist Of enlarging the capital

it is believed the bank will reopen
shortly without any difficulty.
There will be meetings today be-
tween President Watson and the di-
rectors of the bank, when he will tell
of his recent conferences with the
controller of the currency. That the
bank is solvent and can reopen has
been generally believed since the day

es there is stability and a sure foun-
dation for permanent wealth. Any
thing then that increased the activity
OF the people In the direction of utiliz-
ing all OF the resources of the soil
makes for the building and multiply

Increased productive power of the soil
brought under irrigation, the chang
ing OF arid places into fields and gar
dens and orchards and the doubling
many times of the value of the crops
by the means Of intensive culture.
In the next two years thousands of
additional acres Will be added to the
irrigated areas of Lewiston valley by
plans now under way for the conser-
walton OF the moisture that falls upon
this water shed. It will mean the con-
struction Of dams and the building of
reservoirs and the digging of bitches;
1t will mean the expenditure of mil
lions of money. but the net result will
justify the means. There will be the
building of homes. the intensive cul-
ture of the soil and an immense In
crease in the products for the local
markets. This win In turn necessi-
tate either an increase in shipments or
manufacturing, or perhaps both. Civ
ing this locality still greater prestige

RoosEvELTs SUCCESSOR.

President Roosevelt has repeatedly
for reelection, much to the gratifica-
ton of many who would be glad not
only to see the end Of Roosevelt, but
stop put to what they are pleased to
call his radical policies. They are
very anxious, then to appoint Roose-
velt's successor, but many more, very
many more, are just as anxious that
q successor to Roosevelt be chosen
who will carry forward his policies If
they cannot prevail upon him to be
his own successor.
Taft has been heralded over the
country as Roosevelt's choice, and as
often as the story is told comes the
denial, saying that the president has
no choice of candidate. In the minds
OF many Taft is more likely to carry
out the Roosevelt ideas than anyone
that Is being named for the place 1t
is probable also that the president
thinks as much and would like to see
Taft nominated. but 1t would not be
the part of wisdom to say as much,
for while Taft is one of the presi-
dents official family. he is also in
close touch with the others, Fair
banks. Cannon, LaFollette. Hughes, or
Shaw. In fact 1t is more likely to be
Taft's enemies than his friends that
are suggesting the alliance
The president. no doubt, would like
to be succeeded by some man who
would carry out his policies. He
thinks Taft would do this. and he be-
lieves. also,- that Root would follow
closely In his footsteps. He does not
want to be succeeded by a reaction
airy" or some man who would not car
ry out the Roosevelt theories. He re-
alizes that the interests that have OPP
posed him will try to end his policies
with his term; that they will select
some man whom they can depend
upon to put an end to what they call
Roosevelt radicallsm, and such a move
viii meet with his strenuous oppo-
sition.

Poundina Grammar Into Him.

A certain little boy in a village
school had fallen into the habit Of
saying II have wrote" and 81 have
went"
The teacher tried in several ways to
break him of the habit, but all In vain.
So one day she had him remain after
school and write the two phrases 100
times each, thinking that in that way
he would surely remember to say al
have written" and 81 have gone"
A few minutes before he finished his
task the teacher was called out of the
room. She told him to remain until
she returned. When she returned she
found on the desk the phrases correct
ly written 100 times and beside them a
note saying:

written 100 times and I have went
home."-Judge's Library.
