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.
