But he had not been at Corvallie, except ing; to pass through, by" way of Al bany. It is likely that the dog had made a long Journey, running! a, good part of the way, and that when he arrived in Polk county and in the vicinity of Dallas he got hi bearings, and went to the farm because It was a shorter Jour ney than to come home to Salem. Much Discussion Now There Is much discussion now about whether dog's think. The following extract from an article in i last week's . Literary Digest gives something of this discussion in the newspapers of the country: A dog that knows three hundred words and can pass an examlnaH Uon on them, a he proved before a j psychology class in Columbia University the other day. Is the latest wonder of the animal world. His name Is Fellow, and he is a powerful German shepherd or ped igreed police dog, owned, by Jacob Herbert ot Detroit, who has bees educating him for the last four years. Fellow Is npt quite five years old, but those who saw him pass ids examination In the animal psychology laboratory at Columbia before Prof. C. H. Warden and seventy-five spectators assure us that he has the Intelligence of an eight-year-old child. Most amaxlng wa Fellow's In fallible response to complex com mands spoken In ordinary tone. without gestures, or even without the dog' seeing hi master at all For an hour the dog "ably main tained the receiving: end of a con versation," showing by hi actions that he understood the word themselves. Mr. Herbert con-J itation by Fellow. The dog's eyes and face constantly made one feel that he would like to join In the conversation. , Then, breaking into these com mands, Herbert remarked that he didn't trust the - people present. Fellow barked angrily until told. "The people here are all right." The dog's memory for names fend faces, a New York Times re porter tell us, amazed every one. After recognizing an old friend fn the crowd. Fellow was intro duced to several members of the class. He had Beyer seen ; these people bf ore, yet when their names were called later he walked without hesitation to tem and laid his head on their -laps. The commands, it was noted, were not given in any set order, and re- guests made by other persons were executed at any time by the dog, but only after receiving his mas ter's approval. The New York Herald Tribune also tells of Fel low's su&levexaents, adding thee further details: . , . j Ha next sought out a Mr. Skin ner la the classrtSom, at his mas ter's request, picked up a silver dollar from the table and took it to various persons indicated, and barked emphatic dissent when hi master asked: "Would you let any one hurt met". Mr. Herbert then told Fellow not to let any one approach a cer tain lady sitting tn a corner. The dog- followed : his instructions so lm plldtly that he would not let hi own master come near, i "He will bite me to protect ny one X tell him to," Mr. Herbert ex plained. "He has been taught to follow Instructions to the letter, and he does lt regardless of conse- volce, a New York World reporter tells up, speaking loudly, then very softly, and at time going outdde the laboratory and calling through the kephole to demonstrate that the dog wa not responding to gesture or any other vision cues. The same writer continues: ' .Suppose you go to the door aad wait there,! said Herbert quietly, and, like a flash. Fellow was off Tor the door, 'Never mind," he continued, and the dog froze ( to the floor.; "Stand' up against the wall," came the eom- maad, and the black-and-ttn htp- nera reared against the walL "Do it again.'? said Herbert casually, and Fellow repeated his action in stantly. "Oo to the window and look put,". "Put your feet on the rsdlit- or . step back "do over gad get on the table, "Jump oft" It," "Turn arouad," - "Sit down," "Go to tnat lady in the back row and put your head In her laa;'thsae commands and similar one were executed without the sllfbtest he auences. tantly rarled the pitch ot Wjyery trtndent ta the classroom was a staunch, admirer of Fellow long before - the demonstration ended.'' For an hoar, Mr. Herbert Issued instructions to him, usual' ly In a conversational tone, and part ot . the time ' from behind screen. Fellow appeared delighted when Mr, Herbert praised htm by calling him a "good dog" and very downcast when his master said, "What a shame" at hi failure to obey an Instruction promptly. "With dog as with children," said Mr. Herbert, "the first lesson to hare them learn is to love their teacher. ; I never said anything to Fellow x without a -purpose and never punished him or rewarded him, except by saying what shame or 'good dog. At the end of an hour Fellow displayed ign of wearinefs, and hi inaster,-Baying that the - dog was n "intellectually fatigued,' ended - the demonstration. ; Fel towa andienee appeared more than willing to stay all day.
