BRAVE PORTLAND BOY ROUTS ROBBER V'.'' ' J. f (C EUROLV DEL CHARTERS. THEATRICAL. NOTES It " looks very much as though - the i United states would remain "Parsifal" r. mad for soma seasons to come,, at least .' until surfeited . with that remarkable work. As everyone knows by this time, ,Mr. Conried will make it his chief at traction next season as this at the Met ropolltan" opera house, where It has been the 'sole feature to give satisfaction to . tho public. In addition, Henry W. Sav , age will make a great presentation of the music drama In English, employing his already organised English Grand Opera company as the nucleus- of the ' singing forces. In a pictorial sense, no Ileus than in the masstvenese of the mu- ... steal interpretationthis is to be quite the moat ambitious undertaking of Mr, Savage's managerial career. It will have ; the advantage over the Conried produc tion that it may be moved to all the - ilarge cities where there are theatres Jwith commodious quarters behind - the 'curtain. The Metropolitan "Parsifal" 'cannot be taken out of Its present sur roundings without practical destruction. . Finally, Mr. Mansfield Is to give us his " dramatla version of "Parsifal," which will at least be an Interesting undertak ing, although how It' will "pan out" la '-. a good deal of a problem to everybody -'but Ma&sfleld himself. ; Though Its principal scene pictures Immorality of the most degrading type, ..Tolstoi's "Resurrection" has not been ; termed an Immoral play by any of Us f critics, nor by the churchmen, many ' Of whom it has attracted through curl- ; oaity or In search of a them for their pulpit "Resurrection" may be said to be an appeal for a single code of mor ality for both sexes and to declare that v men no less than women should be so cially ostracised as a penalty for crimes t against the social law.

Portland Is becoming headquarters for the largest food manufacturing plants on the Pacific coast A short time ago a creamery company announced its in tention of building in this city the larg est creamery on the Paclfio slope and then came a new company which pro posed to construct the largest cold stor age and ice manufacturing plant on the coast. The Acme Mills company has Just announced its plans tor the con struction or a large factory tor the pre paring of breakfast foods. The company has recently been or ganized by the combining of the Pacific Coast Milling eompany 'and the Acme mills, The Acme mills is an old institu tion and is well established. .W. A, doss. Its president, said yesterday. "For some time It has been apparent to the Acme , Mills company that ati enormous enlargement . of its present plant at the corner qf Front and Burn side streets was necessary or else a new and larger factory would have to be built elsewhere. Business -in our line has grown so wonderfully since the mills were established In this city that this change is now absolutely neces sary. "Mr. Connell. president of the Pa slfio Coast Milling company, which is 1 large producer of mill feed products, had the same idea for his company and he also considered the possibility of es tablishing a breakfast food manufactur ing plant in connection with his com pany. The two companies seem to be moving in the same direction and after a conference It was decided to combine them an build a larger factory. --""Wo have not yet deoided upon the lo cation for the new mill -but it will be at some point where there are railroad accommodations. The new mill will be about twice as large as . the present Acme mills and perhaps larger. For the present we will operate both mills but in the near future in order to facili tate matters they will have to be oper ated under the sama roof. . . "The new company has a 200 barrel flour mill in western Washington and we will also operate that plant. "The Acme mills Is the only manufac turer of the Ralston health foods on the Pacific coast and we have trade all tho way from British Columbia to Mexico. The Paolflo Coast Milling company has been an extensive manufacturer of lin seed dairy food and we intend to go into, that business on a much larger seals. Portland - Is the most advantageously located city on the Pacifio coast for this business and we 'intend to stay right here." .;,- :. - ' - v-. - ... , t. . The officers of the new eompany are: Walter A. Qo9, president and manager; samuei uonneif, vice-nresiaent; Albert S. HOW TO READ YOUR OWN . AND NEIGHBOR'S CHARACTER BY THE COLOR OF THE EYES , Written for the Sunday Journal by B. A. Thompson! the Oregon Optical Co.'s ,Eys Specialist' That the eyes indicate much in char acter reading is a proposition . proved conclusively in the following article by R. A. Thompson, eye expert, with the Oregon ' Optical Co., located at , 17 Fourth street In the T. M. O, A. build ing: i . . , '' : .-. ' One of the society fads, which prom ises to eclipse palmistry thought read trig, .pin finding and all other Imagina tions ot- the heart and the intellect that have found work for Idle minds to do, is that of character reading by the eyes. . - The fact that the eye Is "the window of the soul" would make It seem probable that by Its light we may dis tinguish' the Inner mind and possibly make a guess at the interlo. cratlon of the palace of thought Like other windows, especially those of cathedrals, the eye la of various col ors, and consequently . the - views ob tained through it are tinged by ttr hues. A blue eye shows the mind in a differ ent- light from that given by- black, hasel or brown one, and a part of the opticlst's art is to differentiate and to decide on the meaning of the various tints through this medium. .' ' Color Zs tho Xif. According to Lavater and others who have made a study ot physiognomy, tho color of the eye is the key to the character. A h axel-eyed woman, we are told, never elopes from - her ? husband, never chats ' scandal, prefers bis com fort to her own, never talks too much, is Intellectual, agreeable and - a lovable, person. - The gray la the sign of shrewdness and talent Great thinkers and cap tains have it In women It indicates a better head than heart. . Gray eyes are of many varieties. There, are the sharp, the shrewish, the spiteful, the cold and the wild gray eye, but the fact remains that the, gray represents the head. ' Black eyes, of course, are typical of fire, .heroism and firmness, and have a spice of diabolism in their rays that has a potent attraction in women's hearts. And green eyes, It is said of them that they betoken courage, pride and energy. . Tn blue Cye, which has been praised so often In sons and story, is a uni versal favorite. Their, owner seldom possesses thv marked characteristics of the gray or black eye, but Is usually of a mild and lovable disposition. In a man, however, these eyes often . indi cate fickleness and unfaithfulness. ' . A prominent or full eye indicates great command of language and ready and universal observation. Deep seated eyes on the contrary receive more ac curate, definite and deeper Impressions. Round-eyed persons see much. They live much in the senses, but think less. Narrow-eyed persons see less but think more and feel more intensely. i . SUm of Selfishness. Width of the lower eyelid Is believed to indicate a disposition to extenuate and to Justify one's self.. To defend conduct by giving cool ressons for it. When this 'lower lid curves downward and shows -the white below the pupil, then, oh then pause and hesitate to trust 3Kur welfare to the owner of that eye. If optlclsts are right It is an Indication of profound, calculating selfishness. John D. Rockefeller has such an eye in a recent cartoon. Perhaps this proves tjie truth of the assertion. - eyebrows may oe inicK or tnm, nne or coarse, smooth or bushy, qrched or straight regular or irregular, and each form and . quality has its special sig nificance in reference to temperament and character. Thick, strong eyebrows generally be- Goes, treasurer, and Joseph N. Teat, secretary. MUST PAY NOW TO USE TELEPHONE Through an attorney trying to get a long-distance switch on - the telephone at the county courthouse this morning tho fact came to light that the county court some time ago ordered the com pany not to live sucn switches, to any body from the building. This course, it is asserted, was rendered imperative by the number of people who used the long distance telephone from the courthouse on other than official business and ex pected the county to foot the bills. The telephone company keeps a rec ord of alt long-distance switches. The tabs showing the persons using the line. the date, the number called up and tho tray a full development of tempera ment. When also coarse, bushy and ir regular,' we may expect - harshness of character, Thin, fine, delicate eyebrows are indicative of a fine-grained organ isation, and an active, if not predom inant temperament - : ; ' : Briefly Summed Up. - Blue eyes are said to be the weakest X'pturned eyes are typical of devotion. Wide-open eyes are Indicative of rash ness. Side-glancing eyes are always to be distrusted. Brown eyes are said to bo the Btrons;- 7 ROBERT A. THOMPSON. " Small eyes are supposed to indicate cunning. , .... , y The downcast eye has in all ages been typical of inodesty.','?'' ' " M-"'r'' ' The proper distance between the ayes Is the width of one eye. ' People of melancholy ., temperament rarely have "clear blue eyes. - Eyes with long, sharp -corners indi cate great discernment and penetration. The whye of the eye showing beneath the iris Is indicative of nobility of char acter. , ' ' . ' ' ; ' Gray eyes turning green in anger or excitement are indicative of an irritable temperament ; When the upper ltd' covers half or more, of the pupil the indication Is of cool deliberation. . " An eye the upper lid of 'which passes horlsontally across the pupil Indicates mental ability. ' . Unsteady eyes, rapidly Jerking from side to side, are frequently indicative of an unsteady mind. Eyes of any color with' weak brow and long, concave lashes are 'indicative of a weak constitution. Eyes that are wide apart are said, by physiognomists to indicate great Intel Ll I gence and a tenacious memory. ; .byes or wnicn ttie wnoie iris is vis ible belong to erratlo persons, often with a tendency toward insanity. .- . Wide-open, staring eyes in weak coun tenances indicate Jealousy, bigotry, 'in tolerance and pertinacity without firm ness. . Rabies' eyes are always "blue, no mat ter what the color in after life may be. The art of the opticlst needs no studio nor cabinet in which to practice. The eyes can be examined in public a well as in private, in tho streets or In the drawing-room, in the shops, churches or theatres; in fact anywhere, so long as glance can meet glance and the visual ray find a responsive retina to reflect it '--;-i;' How, Byes are Injured. '; "People seem to think glasses are like clothes," said Mr. Thompson in a recent conversation. "If they are fairly com fortable and look well they ask no fur ther questions." Looking back now to tho time when quack doctors and dentists spread mis ery and destruction over the land, we wonder at the ignorance or carelessness of our fathers In trusting their teeth, or even their lives, to hands so untrust worthy. And yet a very similar thing Is, done today by the people who buy spectacles or eyeglasses from men who sell, them on the streets or have their eyes fitted by opticians who have no qualifications for doing the work or knowledge of the eye's construction, r A surprising number of people buy their. glasses from venders on the streets or traveling spectacle peddlers. They get glasses for 60 cents which seem to them just as good as a pair they would pay $10 for, made on a specialist's pro scription, and they think they have saved money. Glasses acquired in all sorts of ways, by Inheritance or ex change from a friend, and even glasses found on the streets, are often used, to local phone used are all gone over by Auditor Brandes. .He 'refused to issuo warrants for a large number of switches and reported his reasons to L. It. Web ster, the. county judge. ; The court thereupon r made an order that no, long distance switches should be permitted, and now any official desiring to have other than- a local switch' has to leave the building and use another phono. SiATOHTEB 01 TBB ELK. , ----- - .- . ... K ; From the Chicago Tribune. , More useless than the extinction of the buffalo, , more cruel than tho war upon the stupid seal, more vain than the killing of plumage-bearing birds, Is the exterminating slaughter of the stately elk, merely to furnish a fra ternal order with rltualistlo insignia. To obtain two, teeth from each one 'of these animals , pot hunters shoot them down wherever found, In spite of laws and game wardens. -The motive for the crime is pitifully InBlgulflcant and the detriment or permanent .ujury to the wearers eyes. Another way in which people damage their eyes is through carelessness in try Ing to remove dust or cinders . from -Uhem. They try themselves, a friend tries a rub, the nearest drugstore and the nearest optician is caueo on. an De- fore a specialist is consulted. The re sult is that the eyeball is often badly rubbed and scraped, and in many in stances permanent injury is done. . A Pathetio Story. One of the most extreme and really pathetio cases of - which I hava ever known is that of . a ' boy who had a troublesome habit , of. knocking things over. As bis eyes were perfect In ap pearance, and he could seo objects and play with them, a defect in his sight was not suspected and he was frequent ly punished for being willfully mis chievous and malicious. He also had an aggravating habit of making grim aces at persons questioning him, which was considered a sure sign of mental de pravity. He bore bis punishments sto lidly, as many boys do, and thereby gained the additional stigma of being vicious and incorrigible As his pa rents did not seem to understand hint and became exasperated with his pecu liarities, ho was finally sent to an asy lum' for feeble-minded children. But his troubles followed him, end he was no better understood than at home, un til he was taken ill and the physician attending him became Interested in his peculiar case. After the child's death he discovered that the nerves of sight were disconnected, making it impossible for him to see directly in front of him, though he Could seo on either side, and it was only by twisting his head and squinting his eyes that he was ablo to see an object in front of him. Nor in my own experience have I found these conditions are so rare as might be expected. Scarcely a day passes that soma child, is not brought to me that has a peculiar manner of holding tho head or an inclination to squint and matte peculiar grimaces In talking. Of course, these tendencies may be very slight and unnoticed by the parents, except to be commented on as little peculiarities with no , special bearing, but to mo they mean much. A Wor to Parents. Hero in the west it Is left to parents to discover these troubles, and as I have, given a number of years to this work I trust that in making special ar rangements for tho next month or so to examine school children free of charge, tho invitation I extend to you will be accepted in the spirit In which it is given. All I will aak in return tor the courtesy is that parents will accom pany their children in person, and not send them to mo alone or in charge of friends. Think of the headaches the little ones complained of last year, and ascertain whether the eight la at fault I have appliances for testing tho eyes of a child which aro certainly unex celled, If not equaled, anywhere in the west The awful affliction of blindness that frequently comes upon one after years of eye-strain could have been avoided If proper attention had been paid to the falling sight The needs of the eye are better Understood now than over before, and there is no , necessity for people going blind.. Frequently all that Is nec essary to restore perfect vision to eyes that are almost ' useless is a properly fitted pair of glasses, which correct the defects and build up .the sight in a re markably short time. Thls work, how ever, should Jonly be entrusted to the hands of one whoso knowledge of optics has been perfected, not only in colleges, but in tho groat school of experlenco and practice. ' maddeningly useless. Members of the Order of Elks desire elk teeth to hang upon their watch chains. Therefore a magnificent American game animal is to become extinct. President Roosevelt has been asked by western congressmen to Interest himself In tho preservation ot the remaining herds of elk and congress is expected to pass stringent laws in their defense, ; This may delay destruc tion, but Its prevention 'lies with the order itself.
