a NEW GAME

A game called thought tranefereuee
is one of the latest fads, and it sup
plies a great deal of amusement. In
playing the game the person who is
selected to be the subject" is sent out
of the room and two of the players are
selected to "transfer the thought" D."
These two decide ON what simple test
the player viii be required to perform.
He may be required to touch the keys
Of the piano, to arrange a cushion or
any simple thing, and the remainder of
the people in the room are informc !
what the test is to he.
Then the subject is allowed to enter
the room again, with the persons who
are to guide him ON each S lie, each
holding one of his hands. All of lho
company are required 10 think of the
test to be made. and il is claimed that
m nearly all cases the subject" makes
his way, still clasping the hands Of tho
"transferers" toward the object Sc
lected and then does what is required
Of him. In nearly all cases the audience
will demand several Subjects and OK
periments before their curiosity is fully
satisfied.

is doubtless rather difficult for such
to see how boyish chap like Captain
August Fardelus of Santa Monica
could become commander of a sea-
going vessel at 81 This is the case
however, and he is probably the
youngest sea captain on the Pacific
coast, if not in the United states.
Combined pluck. energy, work and
study, together with a certain amount
of pull" placed Fardelius in his
present position. He is now % years
old and captain of the three-masted
lumber schooner A2alea. which plies
between Eureka and Southern Cali
fornia ports. He has men in his crew
almost old enough to be his grand
father
The father of Captain Fardelus was
commander of the Azalea for many
years. While yet a small boy August
sailed with his father and spent all his
spare time studying the rules of navi-
cation When still in his teens he was
known among mariners on this coast
as possessing an unusual amount Of
nautical knowledge. 1t was then
planned to obtain for him a masters
certificate, but the law prevented him
on account Of his age.
Captain at 21
AS soon as he became Il, FardenuS
applied for a certificate and got it,.
Mariners laughed at the youthful cap
tain, declaring he could not make good
and would get into all sorts of trouble
Notwithstanding what he knew about
operating ships. The youth fooled
them.
Captain Fardelius has never had
command other than the Azalea, but
for four years he has brought her
safely into port through all degrees Of
rough weather He has never had Il
serious accident, His crew admire him
and sewar by him, but never at him,
as Fardelius is said to be exceptionally
easy with his men.
San Francisco is the home port Of
the schooner Azalea, but she is con-
tinually on the move, carrying laIg
cargoes of pine and redwood to Re
dondo Beach and san Pedro.
The mother and sisters of Captain
Fardelius reside at san Diego, where
one of the sisters is a teacher in the
schools. Captain Fardelius recently
married the daughter of Capt. Frank
Dornfeldt, weH-knoWn Pacific coast
mariner who has charge of the long
wharf at Port Los Angeles.

COMMITTEE WORKING.

A meeting of the building committee
of Amity lodge No. 231, K P, will be
held Friday night to consider seNerdi
propositions for a new lodge home. Ii
is understood that after this meeting
something definite will be finally known
about the matter. The project was
taken up this spring. The idea was 10
build or select a three story building II
possible, remodel 1t and make 1t MOD
ern, rent the first story to business
firm and use the other two stories Tor
Offices and lodge purposes. A banquet
hall was to be the feature OF the pro-
posed headquarters.
Several vacant buildings were consld-
cred but were found unsuitable. Sites
for a new building were also offered
but were rejected for various reasons.
In the meanwhile the committee have
been carefully studying the matter and
1t seems that the proposition will take
same shape Friday night.
The members of the committee, be-
sides Mr. Goodman, are: F. NJ. Shella-
barger. A. E. Andrew, John Sheetz, II.
E. Johnson, Arthur Scarlet and V. r.

A youth brought a package into tho
Union Pacific express office recently
and asked the receiving clerk to send
it to a town near Topeka. After weigh
ing the package the clerk asked the
sender If he wished to place a value on
it. The latter gave $75 for the value.
The clerk marked in the corner of the
package in very small letters 'V75."
In reply to a question he explained
that meant Value $75."
However, although most people de-
sire the value marked so that it will
not attract attention, the young man
loid the clerk that he was sending tn :
package to his intended and requested
him to marke the value in big letters
near her name where she would be
sure and see it.
