DARWIN'S THEORY
LECTURERS TOPIC
Higher and Lower Animals Diff
fer Little PsychoIogically,
Says Prof. Thorndike

BERKELEY, June 22.-That the
gropinE of the almost uninpuIsive fish
in its search for food-rejecting one
kind and taking another kinds not
far removed psyehologically from the
poetic flight of fancy, was the declara-
ton made last night during 1.-THE course
of a lecture on "Darwin's Contribution
TO Psychology" by Edward Lee Thorn
dixie, professor of educational psyche
-logy at Columbia university.
Professor Thorndike spoke before a
large audience in Hearst hall.
In the case of the intellect and
character of men and women, there is
more difference among the men than
among women" said the speaker.
Continuing TO trace physiological
impulse, he said
How slowly and how abruptly the
changes came from early ancestors, not
intellectually above the present pri-
mates. to our nearer ancestors, no one
has attempted to estimate. 1t was a
radical change in it's consequences, but
psychelogically it would require only
an extension OF instincts and capacities
already present in the primates.
For the demonstrable intellectual
difference between the year old baby
and the monkey is not that he has
many ideas while they have few or
none. He has few or none. 1t is in
that he responds to more things and
in. more ways. He differs from the
monkey as the monkey differs from
the dog and the dog differs from the
fish"

That Is Useful for Park
Purposes

ALAMEDA. June 22.-Two strips OF
no mans land that have had no
owner since the city OF Alameda was
incorporated. viii be taken by the
municipality for park purposes il the
wishes of Assessor Crol are carried
out CrolI says that inasmuch as the
land in question has no owner and is
so located that il would be useful 10
the city for park purposes. it should
be annexed.
One of the strips in question is part
OF block So, and borders the water
front between EncinaI avenue and the
Bay Farm island bridge 1t Is at pres
ent occupied by a number OF arks and
housebOats. Originally this land was
part Of the PeraIta grant. but as the
heirs of the Peralta estate have nos
paid taxes for more than a generation,
little opposition is expected from them.
The other strip is 10 feet wide, and
borders the Waymire property, which
was recently acquired by the city for
park purposes. Like the other. 10
formed part Of the original PsraIta
grant, and no taxes have been paid on

Is Nearly Drowned
Especial Dispateh 10 The CaRl

SAUSALITO, June 22-Mayor Jack
Thomas of this town had a narrow
escape from drowning yesterday morn
ing while he was inspecting the salt
water tanks used to store water for
sprinkling the local streets.
The mayor had heard there was a
scarcity of water in the tanks, and to
ascertain the facts for himself he
climbed upon the high rim of one of
the cement reservoirs and in attempt
ing to measure the depth of the water
with long stick missed his footing
and fell into the tank.
Fortunately, he is good swimmer.
and for several minutes he was able
to keep afioat. But the water was
exceedingly Ncold, and soon his limbs
were chilled and numb. Fearing that
he might receive a cranp. Thomas
called for assistance, and his cries were
finally heard by a passer by, who eff
fected the chilled officials rescue by
placing a ladder inside the tank The
rescuer walked away without giving
his name, and the mayor is in the
peculiar position of owing his4life to a
man he does not know.
