Bacnam, the possessor OF the great
est and only show on earth worthy of
the name, is making a great deal of
money ont Of Zazel, the girl who is
shot out Of a cannon. It is the most
popular feature of lis sncw ;his year
iDe feat mas the All: actIonsof horror
@rf is thrilling until YOU know that
/; IS q trick. The cannon is ar enor-
noua one, apparently Of metal, but
really mostly Of wood, and hangs
about twenty feet from the ground
After playing and exercising herself
among the trapezes hung around the
roof Of the building, Zazel. who IS
quite good looking girl, swings
herself to the mouth of the cannon
and lets herself down into it, disap-
pearing from sight altogether. The
audience is requested to keep quiet,
in order that the man with the torch
may hear ZazePs signal to fire. A
death-like stiffness soon prevails.
Now faint cry is heard, and with a
bang and flash the cannon goes off,
while at the same time Zazel is seen
dying through the air from one side
Of the building to the other, landing
in 2 net spread Tor the purpose. The
feat is somewhat similar TO that oi
