Is a Human Dictagraph
—
Phenomenal Indian Memory Expert
of Yakima Trike On Tour
of the Territory.
Interest centers in the announce
ment made today by Herbent Johns
ton, well known Alaskan and one of |
the original townsite locators of!
Knik, that Charles W. Hamley, one
of the world’s greatest memory ex
perts, will demonstrate the use of
the trained memory, using educa-!
tional, entertaining and interesting1
subjects. Mr. Hamley, who wall ar- j
rive in Seward on the steamer North
western, Saturday, is pronounced as
the miracle memoryman and human
dictagraph, who records all things |
■ he sees or hears. He will give a i
demonstration at the Liberty Thea-1
ter next Monday evening, and will
possibly remain in Seward a week
prior to his departure for the Inte- ;
rior.
Mr. Hamley, who is at present a !
member of the faculty of the Univer- j
sity of Southern California, is inter-1
nationally known for his interesting
and unusual feats. He is a North
American Indian of the Yakima tribe,
and was born and reared in Seattle
where he resided until he entered
the field of memory work. He has
the c istinction of being the only
memcry ‘Xpert used for wai work
during the world war, and his expe
riences in France are on intense in
terest to audiences.
During his stay at the front in
France, Mr. Hamley was used as an
observer and inspected miles of
track from a gasoline speeder and
<to prove his ability even further, he
■was sent by the colonel of his regi
ment to a lecture by John Kendrick
Bangs, with instructions to memor
ize it and repeat it afterwards, which
he did, Mr. Bangs Verifying it.
Another interesting 'fe&t that at
tracted an unusual amount of atten
tion was when ML Hamley visited
a supply depot of an American head
quarters, and in seven hours secured,
data that required - a trained corps
of field clerks six days to itemize.
While en route north on the steam
er Yukon to Valdez, where he is at
the present time, Mr. Hamley enter
tained in the social tyfJV and tests
of his memory, made by the audience,
appeared really uncanny, according
to Seward arrivals on the vessel.
During his fewr remarked at the free
lectures he states that memory is
the basis of all mental capacity, and
what all people know today is what
can be remembered.
JAPANESE EXPERT WILL TEACH

TOKIO, Sept. 1. (JP)~Dr. K. Sugi
moto, a rice expert attached to the
Tokio Nutrition Laboratory, one of
the three special scholars of the
Rockefeller Foundation, said that
one of his missions abroad would be
to teach the people of the United
States “how to eat rice.” He has
been making a special study of the
nutritive value of rice for the past
five years and has experimented on
30 persons.
CARNATIONS USED AS BAIT
FO RRATS IN LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1. (£>)—The
frgarant garden variety of carnations,
used as bait, has proved far more
irresistable than cheese to the rat
population of the Hall of Records
and Court House buildings here.
Discovery^ was made recently by
L. C. Robinson, chief janitor of the
two buildings, after several weeks of
investigation, that rats have a liking
for carnations. Through the use of
the flowers as bait in traps large
numbers of the rodents, which grad
ually were reducing hundreds of law
and record books to a sad state of
dilapidation, were exterminated.
If men wear it, we have it. Urbach.
