FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1924. —- eae FAISCO TURN aU PRODIGY 1 SKK YEAR OLD Mathematical Wizard Can Also Speak in Five Languages. By L. 0. OWEN (Staff Correspondent of The Casper Tribune.) (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association.) SAN. FRANCISCO, Aug. £9~- What makes a prodigy? Wil! some of the learned alfenists, psychiatrists and otber exports on brain cel!s who have analyzed, dissected. Cescribed and, in some Instances found ex- euses for the crimes of “Babe” eopold and “Dickie Loeb, please step forward and explain by what range mental quirk a six-yearoid oy can stand & whole cjty on ite head with his weird mathematical obility? Bobhy Hurrls, wno can neither read nor write, who never went to ool until a few days ago, but oO van adé, aubtract, multiply and divide in whole numbers or frac- tions und can~ compute interest problems that would give a bank cashier a’ headache—all in the twinkling of an eye and without aid of pencil or paper—is the prodigy over whom San Francisco is wonder- ing. } Outside of the fact that it does not take any paid alienist to con- vince folk that Bobby has an abnor- mal development, there is no reason for mentioning him in the. same aragraph with the Chicago slayers: is just a normal boy otherwise, who Jove’ to play baseballand~ tn- i:ige in other kid pastimes. Three of his front teeth are gone—from boxing. He likes dogs, movies and cap pistols and is exceptionally bashful where girls are concerned. If there is any doubt about his being a prodigy, however, it also should be mentioned that he under- stands and can make himself under- stood in five languages besides Eng- lsh—ail vicked up through playing with other kids of various nation- RESUMPTION IS DELAYED ACAIN Departure of Birdmen on Flight for Labrador Now Scheduled for Not Earlier Than Tomorrow U. 8S.

It is now announced that no attempt will be made to get away before tomorrow morning. The route of the flight stretches}off the Farce Islands. tor § across the arm of the Atlanti h sweeps northwest into David Strait and serves asa highway for s8 floating down the Le bradar current Into the broad ocean The warm airs from the south, meet- ing the ice, cause dense fogs almost constantly, making an aerial: cross ing perilous except under unusually fuvoralile conditions, Marine reports place the fog occurrence as high as sixty percent. Unusuak precautions: havo bee: taken by the convoying naval squad- ron to safeguard the birdmen on this final and dangerous leg . of thelr homeward trang-Atlantle swing. No less than six ships will be stationed along the route, in constant com munication and with an elaborate system of elgnaliing the aviators as they pass. Weather reports from each vessel will be. transmitted by wireless to the U. 8. 8. Milwaukee at Ivigtut for the information of Lieutenant Lowell Smith and his comrades be- fore they take: to the air. As the planes proceed each vessel Will: inform the aviators by signals of the weather prospects ahead, one flag meaning fair weather through- out, two flags indicating changing conditions, and a blast of the whistle warning of fog along the route. The Longest gap between ships will be 110 miles. the ON BOARD U.

This day happens to occur on the first day of the Washakie Days. celebration which. takes the Place of the county fair, and plans are being worked together. The committee was very fortu- nate in securing the rervices of Judge Stone of Lander to deliver the address of the day. Judge Stone has stirred more American hearts into patriotic beats with his famous address “The Man Behind the Man Behind the Gun,” than any other American of his age. Tt is expected that with Judge Stone as a speaker and the far- med Washakle county entertain ent reputation, that many visit ers from other sections of the state will be present. 1 | Prosecuting attorney of Hot Springs Gye Casper warp Ctivune WORLD FLIGHT RIGHT OF GOVERNOR TO OUST STATE OFFICERS IS UPHELD —_——_—.

As a human comptometer, Bobby is chain lightning. Here are the * sort, of mathematical problems: to which he snaps out answers alniost before the words are out of the questioner’s mouth: “What's 29 times 34? What's the interest on §876. at 6 per cent ‘for 11 months, six days? If a room is * 16% by 18 feet, how many yards of wall paper, two feet wide, three inches wide, will it take to cover floors and walle? If a, case con- ~ tains* three ‘gross of exes, three *) fifths of them broken and one six- teenth bad, how many good eggs remain?" 4 Bobby apparently solves each stage of the complicated problems within a fraction of a second after he hears them. There is no puzzling hesitation. Of course, there is a limit, He can not work up into , five figure combinations—yet—but in mathematics of the type usually handled by business men with pencil and paper, he can find the answer in a few seconds. -Bobby doesn’t know how he does it, He says he “just sees’ the answer and says it. His mother first discovered the human compto- nieter proclivities two years uso. Since then, his parents have helped him develop the capacity. His father furnishes the only clue to six-year-old Bobby's astonishing facility at figures by divulging that Bobby's grandfather formerly was professor of mathematics at Girard university.
