lie had a group of business and

press men awe-stricken in his room

st the Charlottetown Hotel Thurs-

(lay night with a telepathy demon-

straiion. President during the act

were Mr. Thomas Mitchell, man-

, sger of the Bank of Nova Scotia,

A D. ii. Gass, manager of the Island

Telephone Co., M. C. Stewart, Do-

minion Life Insurance Co., Roland

Taylor of G. H. Taylor's Jewellers,

and three local press men.

v Each individual was requested by j" Mr. Auburn to name some article in the room or on their person and one of its characteristics. Mr.

Ralph Cameron, who was present

but not involved put a phone call

through to Mrs. Auburn in Mont-

. real.

As each person came to the

"phone both he and Mr. and Mrs. Auburn concentrated on what Mrs. Auburn wanted to tell the indivi- llllnl. In one case it was the name,

- occupatlon and the object origin- ally thought about that she amaz-

_ lngly disclosed.

As each person covered the mouth piece and whispered next ‘to another person he would shake his head in amazement and dis- belief. "My heart's beating a mile A minute," crooked Roland Taylor who was last on the list. “That's the first telepathy act I have done

, for a year." said Mr. Auburn and the last for another one."

Last night he displayed card tricks nncl disappearing acts to the _stntf at the Guardian Office. He ‘showed enough sleight of hand tricks in one half hour of such a

_ high quality to keep every one as-

lonished.

l-le handled the cards with ap-

Qarcnt case turning up four aces

or kings when called for. putting

cards on the bottom of the pack and picking them from the top and

» IBYIYIK Mos on the table and pick-

.,_,ing up kings.

, litter hnffling everyone with his card nntlcs. he went to work on sponge balls, sugar cubes and ten cent pieces. He would put two sponges in a person's hand close

1*‘ it tight and when the person open-

-~~ed his fist he might be holding three. one or no sponges. He could put four sugar cubes on the table in rectangular positions and move

._ihe cubes into one place without

‘being seen. His show was much

.__ appreciated.

Mr. Auburn, although booked es- pecltiiiy‘ for the Kinsmen Carnival. has been giving generously of his time in bringing a little light and cheer into the lives of those Ill In

. hospital and also others who for various reasons are unable to at- tend his pcrformanances at the

Forum.

Thursday afternoon he put on a show nt the Provincial Senator- ium. Tomorrow afternoon he will llivc shows for the children at both orphanages.

Council Accepts land Conveyance For Sireei Purposes

City development continues with the acceptance of a conveyance of land to “extend Highland Avenue westwardiy from North River Road to the new projection of Brighton Place" by the City Council at a special meeting last evening. Mayor B. Earle MacDonald presided. This land was offered by Mrs. 15.3. Johnson and Mr. CLW. Johnson and the estate of AG. Peaks.

A further conveyance was made for "a. street in southerly projec- tion of Crestwood Drive from Ad- miral Street 310 feet and another street connecting such projection with the projection of Brighton Place. Also sufficient land to widen Admiral Street 40 feet to York Lane." This conveyance was made by the heirs of the late Vincent Power.

A storm sewer system will be in- stalled on Brighton Place from Admiral Street to Brighton Road and "thence along Brighton Road to the westwardiy catch-basin therein."

These motions were introduced by Councillor J.D. Stewart who also moved that the City buy a new 6 cu. ft. cement mixer for sidewalk construction. All motions were unanimously adopted.

Safety Exits

Also unanimously adopted was the joint report of Councillors Peter Holland, chairman or the Fire committee and CM. Coir. chairman of the Public Property committee, regarding adequate public safety exit facilities in places of public assembly. The re- port reads as follows:

"The Committee-appointed by the Council to deal with the com- munication from the School Im- pmvement League, relative to ad- equate public safety exit facilities in places of pubiic- assembly, after discussing the matter. wishes to report as follows:

"There is no by-law in the City which allows for the Council to take any action in governing exit facilities when the same are not llfefldy in these places of assem- bly. Nor does the regulating of these exits come within the build- 1118 inilleciork jurisdiction, there being no clause whatever govam- lng exits in the by-law concerning the erection of buildings.

"It has been pointed out by the Provincial Fire Marshal's depart ment that the Fire Chief is the Assistant Fire Marshal, conse-

quently. the Fire Chief must be

assistant to the Provincial Fire Marshal. and as such assistant. it would be his duty to report to the Provincial Fire Marshal any case where he deems a fire hazard to exist.

"While the onus for a fire haz- ard as set out by clause 4 of the by-law for fire prevention gives the Fire Chief authority to deal with fire hazards, there is no authority as Fire Chief which a:- iows him to state whether the exits are sufficient to serve in case of emergency. Only in his duty as ss- sistant Fire Marshal, under the National Exits Coda can he de- mand any action.'and then if no action is taken. he must refer the matter to his superior, who is the Provincial Fire Marshal.

"In consequence. we feel that this is a matter for the Provincial Fire Marshal's Department."
