 ,-Exhibits of power of mind reading are slwsys interesting, and good houses have been drawn to see those given this week at Oronoco Hall.. Miss Loeb also gives a wonderful exhibit of strength, one.- be- ing the lifting of chair upon which very heavy man is standing, and also as many men as can get about the chair, eand about wooden bar tied across the rounds, are bearing down with their full weight and strength. Individual tests convince the skeptical that her strength of arms is wonderful, though weighing but .about 100. pounds. The most incompre- hensible part is the utter absence of any sign of exhaustion after the most severe test; indeed, as the evening progresses the feats attempted increase the demands upon her muscular power. Miss Loeb, holding the hand of her guide, or with fingers in contact with her forehead and 7 the back of her head, goes through the audience, finding concealed articles or do ing some act willed by the person accom- panying her. In this exhibit she has been at least equalled, however, by other ex- hibitors who have visited Stafford, but as q whole was one of the most wonderful mental and physical organizations ever ex- hibited on Stafford stage On Wednes- day free tests were made in the presence of hundreds of people on the street. On the first, starting from the post office, she went to the public library room and found card concealed there. She was not so direct in going to the place in this instance, but as in former tests her power grew with the repetition of tests, and two others quito as difficult, or more SO, were quickly made with little or no hesitation, both in- vofving considerable street travel.
