Strange as it may seen, what is claimed as the only mind reading cockatoo is one of the features of the miniature circus performing some remarkable work Mile. Viola has an aggregation of birds and animals that are real act ors. The birds show wonderful train in gand respond to every wish of Mile. Viola.

Logue attended 1 the - initiatory- exer cises of the Knights of "Columbus last Sunday at Walla, Walla,' they were given the keys of the city andi enter tained by the local 'Elk's as well,, in a manner that almost took the breath of the Oregonians. But it leaked' out today that - Martin King' has become the object of -much criticism: by his fellow knights for a certain inability to perform -. a mechanical stunt that would have, relieved" the anxious minds of'his fellow brothers. For well nigh three -score years and ten he has been, piloting engines over the; track of the 0W.' and. drawing down a big check each month for sup posed : ability along: mechanical lines,, has been making himself the hero, of dramatic deer stories, mine promo tions and originator of humorous ris ibility ' in hotel lobbies, has in short been the pivot around which much activity in railroad and social circles has turned-nbut now comes the dole ful tale- that all' of this notoriety has little or no foundation in fact, be cause he- failed! to "come throagh" in a crucial moment. He with eight others had' entered one of the Push button elevators, recently made im mortal' by Bill Allison, and grasped for a supposed throttle. When in structed as to the mechanical oper ation King pulled for the whistle string, and up they started. When half' way up, the car stopped.- King became puzzled and perspired. Every body tooked to King. to help them out of the difficulty. Here they were marooned in a pesky elevator with a big banquet of tasty eatables await ing them at one of the best hotels in the city. King wanted to go down again. When they had come in close proximity to the infernal regions King could not budge the door. An other ride up to the top floor, a sec ond one down made King look like Jim Jeffries at the Battle of Reno. King, with all of his mechanical skill, was helpless before this plagued lit tle trigger in the door that mride- alt Finally a wee little slant-eyed Jap came to the res cue and with a deft finger released the door catch and the Robinson Crus oes went ashort. Jack Peara said it reminded him of the bible story of David and Goliath. King has lost much of his prestige as the result of this episode and it is not likely that the brotherly feeling is anything more than tissue paper.
