no possible chance of trlckery but that her
powers are phenomenal ones,not physical

| or magnetic. Five men could not shove
a billiard cue past her open hands, OH
which Il rested, and broke the cue Ia two

eLtly no effort. That proved that they
| did not lose their strength In her presence
> but that they exertcd their usual physical
force. Her tinal act was 10 IN seven

marvellous fact that she used no pressure
on the objects liiicd. Those whose hands
were placed between her hands and the
objects llfted stated that that was fact.
