THE SUNDAY OKEGOMAN, rOUTLAD, J L1A 26, Vdii S I Blind Graduate Student at University Is Endowed. SHAPES AND FORMS BASIS Phenomenon of Synaesthesia New Feature of Psychology That Is Interesting Savants. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, July 22. "Colored hearing," a most interesting mental phenome non, is the subject of an article in the latest number of the Psycho logical Review written by Thomas D. Cutsforth, graduate student and assistant in psychology, in collabo ration with Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler, professor of psychology in the University of Oregon. It is an unusual mark of distinc tion, faculty men here say, for a graduate student to have work ac cepted by such an advanced maga zine as Psychological Review. A second article of the same nature is now in the hands of the printer. Phenomenon Well Developed. Colored hearing is a common form of what is known to psychologists as synaesthesia. Mr. Cutsforth has this peculiarity in a marked degree. In numbers especially is it notice able. Mr. Cutsforth lost his sight by an accident at the age of 11. - In liis mind are no images of the figures 1, 2. 3, 4, 5, 6. 7. 8, 9. 10, but a string of colors white, gray, red, dark red, muddy-black, white, muddy blue, grayish-yellow and gray green. These colors he translates into words for auditory use as one, two, etc. This string of colors seems to appear before him at a distance of one meter. Color Visualization Broad. For tens, hundreds, thousands and millions he has a series of colored shapes and forms which are a prod uct of the first ten numbers. ' For the days of the week, the alphabet, the months of the year, centuries and dates he has still other distinct forms and color schemes. When he attends an opera he visualizes an immense and gorgeous variety of harmonious colors com ing and going with indescribable beauty. When he thinks of a num ber like 3591 he gets a complete composition of color which builds itself up with his thought. This peculiar use of colored forms was partly the secret of the famous Gia mandi's lightning calculations. Imagery Highly Developed. This is known as synaesthetic imagery and comes into play in all Mr. Cutsforth's mental processes. They are a part of his self-imposed tasks. Sometimes they are conscious and deliberate and sometimes they are implied. These images are in variably accompanied by eye move ments or other Incipient muscular processes. - These facts, which Dr. Wheeler and Mr. Cutsforth have been able to . work out together, throw consider able light upon the nature and func tion of synasthesia. They show that many unanalyzable mental proc esses, such as attitudes, thoughts, consciousness of Helf and the like, are interpretations which :. people fail to. analyze because of the lack of ability and training. ' Many Persona Have Gift. Many persons have these colored hearing processes, but fail to ren- ognize them. In it lies the develop ment of the meaning. When per sons do not actually try to think about them they cannot even at tempt to describe them, for they are so numerous and so fleeting that they cannot be analyzed at all. Since they are always accom panied by eye movements, it is quite probable that the meaning is in reality muscular sensation unrecog nized as such, the authors of the article hold.

EDMONTON, Alta., July -23, Out of the frozen north a member of the royal Canadian mounted police has Just arrived with news of the murder of seven men by aa Eskimo nn noun JULUIILU HIGHLY DEVELOPED who ran amuck an Hersehel island. Hudson's bay, four months ago. His victims were Constable jsoaK of the mounted forces; G. Binder, Hudson's bay factor, and five of his tribesmen.

Twenty-four hours later the mounted police recaptured him. The prisoner may be brought to Edmonton for trial. STflNRELD HT Ml OREGON SENATOR RETURNS TO HIS DESK. People of West Declared to Be Growing Weary of Long Debate Over Tariff Measure. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, July 22. Sena tor Stanfield of Oregon, wearing that healthy tan complexion which is one of th unmistakable marks of the great western plains, was back in his seat today listening to the debates on the wool schedule of the tariff bill. The west, he said, is getting tired o the long-drawn-out discussions of the tariff and would like to nave the senate dispose of the question one way or the other without further delay. - "Up to the time that the majority leaders undertook to invoke the cloture," said Senator Stanfield, "the country was inclined to hold the republican senate majority re sponsible for the delay, but eince the cloture resolution was voted down by the democrats there is a change of sentiment." As to agriculture in the west, he said, the grain growers were still feeling gloomy with wheat selling for less than the cost of production. The greatest improvement, he as serted, was to be noted in the live stock industry, particularly sheep and cattle, which are making steady gains in market prices. Regarding the proposed dismem berment of the Southern and Cent ral Pacific railroads, Senator Stan field said he found sentiment divided, even in eastern Oregon. In the northern part of the state, he said, there was a feeling that'll the Central Pacific were consolidated with the Union Pacific such cities as Baker, La Grande and Pendleton might find themselves no longer on the main line of the Union Pacific while down in Malheur and Harney counties there was almost unani mous demand for a grouping of the Central Pacific with the' Unipn Pacific. Senator Stanfield was subjected to several delays en route to Wash ington because of the strike. He missed connections at Denver and Chicago and the train on which he reached Washington last night nearly three hours late over the Baltimore & Ohio, was canceled here. STRIKE BILLS II FIB POINDEXTER MEASCKE GAINS FRIENDS IN CONGRESS. Proposal to Prevent Walkouts or Lockouts Now Declared to . Be Farseeing One. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, July 22. Present strike troubles are causing considerable agitation around the capitol for revival of the Poindexter so-called anti-strike measure. . Sen timent is rapidly crystallizing in congress for legislation to compel arbitration of all labor disputes in basic industries. a Bills offered in congress by Sen ator Poindexter and J. Stanley Web ster representative, it is bow con ceded, were more farseeing .than, any one . was willing to admit at the time. The two measures are not identical, Senator Poindexter's bill being somewhat more severe, but designed, some senators say, to solve in a minute just such situa tions as exist now in "the transpor tation and coal mining industries. While the bills mentioned have been frequently referred to as anti strike measures, they could as well be termed anti-lockout bills, be cause by their terms employers are just as much compelled to get to gether with employes as employes are compelled to get together -with employers. Careful reading of the Poindexter and Webster bills shows beyond question that their authors had in mind the recalcitrant, hard boiled employer Just as much as the stubborn and selfish labor organi aations. It will not be surprising if before the present troubles are settled both Senator Poindexter and Mr. Webster are called back to Washington to aid in tne enactment of such legisla tion as they once sponsored at the two ends of the capitol. Interstate Ferry Wanted. ASTORIA, Or., July 22. (Special.) Residents of the towns along the north shore of the lower Columbia river are said to be fathering a project for the introduction of bills at the coming session of the Oregon ana Washington legislatures, au thorizing the establishment of an interstate ferry to be operated jointly by the two states or under their control.

"Worryless Rides" Meet Popular Demand in War Inaugurated by Mayor Fawcett. TACOMA. Wash., July 22. (Spe cial.) In the dollar-a-week passes for "worryless rides" in unlimited numbers, put into effect by the Ta coma Railway & Power company, the trainmen see a way to buck the jitneys which Mayor Fawcett has imported from Spokane and Seattle to compel the institution of a S-ceni fare. The passes become effective, beginning tomorrow, and the train men began a vigorous sales cam paign Friday." Each man had 25 passes to sell and nearly all of them reported a clean sale, officials of the company said, after the first day's work. Richard T. Sullivan, manager pi the traction company, was per mitted by the state department of public works tp put the pass system into use without statutory notice because it was deemed an additional privilege to the riding public. As the 5-cent fare agitation is stirring Belllngham and Everett, where, the Puget Sound Electric company op erates traction lines, the Tacoma situation took an added importance. The Tacoma company is one of the operating, concerns of the Puget Sound Electric. Application has been made In Ev erett by the company for a nickel fare, preliminary to the introduction of the trackless trolley. Mr. Sulli van says that the latter mode of transportation would prove, unsuc cessful here because of physical conditions. LOCAL REALTOR HONORED A. P.
