ner in which he was compelled to gyrate
around the room caused no little amuse-
ment. lie said that he could not feel tie
slightest pressure against his body nor
| from the hand of the fair recromancer,
| but that the whole power seemed to pro-
coed from the chair itself. DIR. J. P.
ChaZal made another effort to hold the
chair. but failed. He could not feel the
slightest pressure on the chair, and DR..
Michael, who felt the muscle of Miss
Hurst g arm, declared that he could not
discover the slightest rigidity.
An umbrella was opened and made to
shoot across the room, being broken and
torn to fragments in its flight. The stout
est men were unable to hold walking
cane steady. A man weighing 1872 pounds
sat in chair, which was raised from the .
floor and sent dancing around the room,
and an empty chair was made to fly
through the air without being touched by
the young lady, The final test was then
made. It sho wed the wonderful power of
Miss Hurst in the most practical and for
chile way. A chair was caught by two
gentlemen, while Miss Hurst held one
hand on the top of the seat and one on ths
back of the chair, but neither in posi-
ton to offer any resistance to muscular
force under ordinary conditions. The OBJ
ject of this experiment was to force the
chair to the wall. The number of mon
who held the chair was gradually increas.
ed from two to seven, and although each
one eXerted his strength to the utmost the
chair could not be forced to the ground.
Miss Hunt is described as a tall, WELL
formed brunette, with rosy cheeks, dark
eyes and chestnut curls. She was born in
Cedartown, Polk county, Ga, about six
teen years ago. At the age of months
she walked and talked. Sue has always
been a gentle and amiable girl, and is
modest to the extent of extreme timdity
at times. She is devout member of the
Baptist church. Her father is well-to-
do farmer. She has known her power
only six months, first being conscious Of
it while lying in bed and feeling the bed
move. afterward experimenting upon
chairs and umbrellas. She preserves a
calmness during her most powerful mani
festations, amounting almost to want of
animation at times, and says she does not
feel at all exhausted and experiences no
unusual emotions when exercising her un-
known force.

A Wonderful Phenomenon.
THE STRANGE POWERS POSSESSED BY A
GEORGIA GIRL.

THE STRANGE POWERS POSSESSED BY
GEORGIA GIRL.
Miss Lula Hurst, the young lady whose
marvellous power has caused so such ex-
element in the South, and so much inter
est among physicians and scientists who
have observed her manifestations, was
first heard of in the quiet little village of
Cedartown. in Polk county, Ca, and in a
short time her fame has spread all over
the country. Her remarkable power has
been called electrical power, ''anlmal
magnetism" 'spIritualistic manifesto
tion," psychic force" but what it is no
one knows, and how it acts is yet pro-
found mystery. 1t baffi IS the wisdom of
the most learned physicians and eludes
the grasp of the scientists who revel in
the unknowable.
At a recent exhibition given in Charles
ton, S. c., there was notable gathering
of prominent physicians and Newspaper
men. Miss Hurst was introduced by her
manager, and Major Hurst. father Of the
phenomenon, endeavoring to explain how
his daughters possession of the mysteri-
GUS power was discovered.
The Ne,os and Courier says: The powers
of Miss Hurst were then subjected to a
most rigid test. The first test was made
with an ordinary cane-bottomed chair. DR..
J. s. BUST took the chair up and, Selling
it by the rim of the seat, pressed it tight
ly against his body, the back of the chair
resting against his body. Miss Hurst
placed one hand on the back of the chair
and the other on the cane bottom. This
was all there was of it. For few mo.
ments DR.. BUST stood up bravely and then
he began to grow uneasy aud then he
found it necessary to exert all the muscu-
lar power that he had to keep his feet, and
then he danced around the floor In most
unaccountable way. The phenomenon had
hard work to keep up with the Doctor and
apparently exercised no muscular power
whatever, when at last the chair was put
down. DR.. Buist frankly declared that he
could perceive the exercise of no absolute
force and no electrical or sympathetic in-

COOKING BEEFsTEAK.-A great many
cooks at least the younger ones-stick
the fork in the middle of beefsteak when
turning it over. This is wrong. The
fork should be inserted in the very edge
or in the fat that encircles it. When cut.
ting it up, if the steak is inclined to curl,
cut it in three places before putting in
the pan. With a good fire it ought not to
be in the pan over twenty minutes. New
er add pepper or salt while the steak is
frying, as the seasoning draws out the
blood. Put the steak in the oven as soon
as it is done, but do not shut the door, 8
the meat will get hard and stiff.
