Eight hundred feet froiu the water one stream turned toward Hoopuloa and the other started In the direction of Milolll.

Interesting Talk at the High School Thursday • ;,V' On Thursday of last week, William McCormick, bird and animal man, entertained the grade and high schools lat the Community high school auditorium in the |afternoon. Mr. McCormick imitated about twentyfive different birds with a perfection that astounding. He also gave an interesting talk on "Life and Habits of Birds," and also an unusual narrative on the training of dogs and of their habits, also some odd reactions caused by the application of telepathy to dogs. Mr. McCormick, who has traveled all over the United States studying the life and habits of birds and animals, imitated birds of many different environments, so that his audience was mentally carried to Florida, Texas, Maine, Michigan, and numerous other places. In his narrative on the habits of birds, Mr. McCormick cited these things in particular; Birds, except sparrows, like privacy at nesting time. They will only build their homes in houses that have but one entrance as this is ample protection from their >tgrst enemies., cats, and squirrels and feWmy birds. They will come back to their nesting places year after year, if treated properly, and will bring others with them, so that a lover of birds can readily satisfy his desires by building a house that suits the environment of the place in which he lives. He also stated that by keeping birds around h%s a commercial value, for they eat ill of the harmful insect life on the 'rees aifd bushes that one has around is home. And don't forget, that if >ou like bird music, you will always have it if you give the birds even a half chance to stay around your iomicile. Next, Mr. McCormick entertained lis audience with interesting stories >n dogs and their response to human are and kindness. In his narrative le used a dog formerly owned by limself as a very good example of .he change that a dog undergoes ifter being properly trained and ared for. In particular, he spoke on he applying of telepathy to dogs, le illustrated by reference to the ibility of his own dog. He in the irst place explained what telepathy , and how it could be applied. He •a dt.aml conld back it up with proof, •i .hi Oi i aing to certain high choois where he lectured formerly md had the aforementioned dog, that he dog could and did outwit pupils n arithmetic excluding fractions >nly as a splendid proof of training i dog by telepathy. He said it was eally unfair to students because the log could bark out the correct num- >ers before the students could get •tarted on their problem. The dog ;ot his result by being able to reognize the numbers in Mr. McCor- : nick's head and was so trained that he would bark the number of times the figure was. The speaker concluded his interesting talk ytrith a wish that all of the children would be a little more human to animals and birds and that they listen to the animal life about them and see if they could not find something vitally interesting to themselves in the life of these lower animals. Mr. McCormick spoke previously here at the occasion of the Kiwanis dinner a few evenings ago. man I MILLER'S STORE ij : Phone 114-R GENERAL MERCHANDISE A good place to Trade in all kinds of Weather lis.
