Thurston, the Magician

Thurston, the magician, will close his
local engagement at the Majestic with
matinee and night performance to-
day. The popularity of Thurston is
readily understood after witnessing one
of his performances. The absence of
sameness is strikingly noticeable, every
act is different from the one preceding
it. for while one astounds and astonish-
es, the rest may be of such an amusing
character as to throw the audience into
a convulsion of laughter. Thurston is
conceded to be the peer of entertainers
in his class. His genial manner, his
mode of execution of the various tricks
and illusions and the great amount of
humor he throws into his work with his
delightful patter adds to the general
excellence of the program.
This year Thurston is presenting a
more bewildering array of new myster-
les than ever before the most promi-
nent are "The New Woman" Noah Is
Vision" "Balaam and His Donkey"
animated Sketches" "The Evolu-
tion of the Negro, +" "Aerial Fishing, -
''The Chocolate Soldier" and "Crea-

Prominent Idaho Physician Says He

Salmon, Idaho, March 2.-Dr. w. G..

for Governor of this state, has let it be-
come known that his remarkable ex-
perience in reducing 25 pounds in three
months was due neither to dieting, med

simple, invisible device, weighing less
than an ounce, did it. This, when worn
as directed, acts as an effective flesh re-

reducing superfluous flesh, and it is

ceived in revenue from all sources
$43,636,272, compared with receipts in

THE MALTESE DERBY
Its Curious Race Course With Go as
You Please Rules


Horse racing is a favorite sport the
world over, but it is doubtful whether
any nation can boast of such a curious
race course or claim more remarkable
ideas of the sport than the Maltese.
Once year the road skirting Sliema
harbor is reserved as a race course, and
the people turn out in thousands. There
is no regulation of the course. The
crowd simply clears out of the way as
tho horses come along.
The jockeys ride without brides or
saddles, and each carries whip in
either hand-one for his own mount,
the other to keep back any horse which
may try to overtake him. We saw one
of the spectators deliberately trip a
horse up by putting his leg out, at
grave risk to himself.
These things, however incredible as
they seem to sportsmen in this country,
are taken as quite a matter of course,
and consequently hardly year goes
by without fatality of some kind. All
things considered, it is not likely that
the ego as you please" rules of this
Maltese derby are likely to commend
themselves to other turf authorities.-
