7) Wimoln VOLUME 23 TOLEDO. LINCOLN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 16th, 1915 NUMBER 9 COUNTY NEWS News of each Community Gathered each week by Our Hustling Associate Editors Newport When Col. E. Hofer was over at his Agate Beach cottage last week he had a singular exper ience with the sea sulls. He walked into the midst of about 200 gulls at the mouth of Big creek. At first the gulls rose and circled around him, then Bettled down again on the beach. The birds were so near him that Mr. Hofer conceived the idea that he would try to hypnotise them. So he shut his eyes and concentrated his mild on them; thought of what a beautiful bird they were, how beautifully they sailed in the air, how clean they kept the beach, how eager they were to get something to eat, how, if a bread crum or a niorcel of meat fell on the water, how each would try to get it, sometimes six or eight would be pulling at one piece of meat. Mr. Hofer said the birds would come right around his feet and would not attempt to fly, but when he took his mind off them the whole flock arose and flew away, Mr. Hofer thinks the gull can be hypno tised the same S3 a snake can hypnotise a bird.
