THROUGH TELEPATHY
MEDICAL SUBJECTS KNOWN BY
MIND READING
Without Hearing Conversation, Blind
Russian Craps What His Class
mates Imbibe Through Hours
of Difficult Study

CHICAGO. Oct. 9O.-Blind from
birth, to be able through telepathy to
take the different courses of medicine
and surgery without study, is the re-
markable condition of ]. w. Bowlotin.
a student in the Chicago College of
Medicine and Surgery.
Bowlotin, a young Russian, asserts
that through a sixth sense, which he
cannot explain, he can read the minds
of his friends and classmates and in
that manner acquire from them the
knowledge they obtain through hard
study.
H. w. Wolk, roommate of the mys-
terious blind student, said yesterday
that after completing his studies for
an evening Bowlotin, even though no
conversation had passed between
them, would be familiar with the sub
Ject which he had been reading.
Bowlotin does not believe his power
is anything supernatural and anything
beyond what any man could do if he
would think hard
1.-THE whole thing is largely O. thing
OF memory and sound reasoning" he
said. with Wolk here 1 get along
nicely. We understand each other
thoroughly"
rs it true that Wolk reads to him
self and you understand what he is
reading?"
He replied it was.

NAMING OF DTNGLE CUT
AND DRIED PROPOSITION

Furthermore, the joint committee ac-
cused Dingle of padding his petition
for election with signatures of men
owning thousands of acres of unplant-
ed land and obtaining the signatures
of fruit growers under misrepresen-
tation that he was favored by ex-
changes and associations.
Commissioner Meserve mailed his
reply to these resolutions yesterday.
Prior to the time he was Endorsed, he
says, he advised the growers that he
was under promise to appoint Dingle
deputy and that he should keep the
promise unless released by Dingle.
"Mr. Dingle received the indorse-
ment of Messrs. Eldridge, McCabe and
Nellis for the appointment at my
hands of deputy horticultural commits
sioner," he adds. "This Endorsement
was made on the same day that I was
appointed commissioner, and both be-
fore and after that appointment was
made"
In conclusion Mr.. Meserve assures
the fruit growers he and those under
him will do all in their power to carry
out the purposes of the legislature in
passing the law under which he holds
office.

NEW USE FOR CATS FOUND
BY WOMAN IN CHICAGO
President of Club Says They Will
Calm the Insane and Sends
One to Asylum

CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-That the care of
animal pets, especially cats, has quiet
ing and beneficial effect on the insane,
was the statement made in an address
before the Beresford Cat club by Mrs.
Clinton Locke, president of the organ
ization and vice president of the Cat
association.
1T firmly believe that the care of ami
mails, particularly such decorative,
lovely pets at cats, will soothe the
troubled minds of the insane" said
Mrs Locke.
For that reason and because this
opinion is advanced by friends of mine
interested in the care of the insane, |
have sent one of my finest animals,
beautiful white female, to an asylum
in Pennsylvania where a test is being
made of this use of pet animals and
birds.
"Cats are better than dogs. They
will stay at home and do not need con-
slant watching. They are more useful
and then they are so much quieter."

THE MECCA OF THOUSANDS
Portland Rector Declares That Strange
Movements of Furniture Were
Psychic Phenomena

PORTLAND, Oct. 30-The upside
down house, in this city which was
visited Thursday by a strange power
that turned heavy furniture topsy
turvy was the Mecca of thousands
yesterday.
That the freakish actions of the con-
tents of the house were essentially
spiritualistic and had nothing to do
with the material" that it was an ex
hibition of psychic phenomena" and
manifestation of an unusual intel
ligence," is the opinion OF Dr. A. A.
Morrison, rector of Trinity church.
DR.. Morrison, after visiting the
house and talking with the child who,
by some, has been assigned part in
the strange affair, declared that the
electricity theory is absurd.
Electricity does not cause any such
manifestations, declared Morrison.
1.-THE phenomena were brought about
through the sub-conscious mind. 1t
