A STRONG MAN.
With His Finger-Tips Be Can Lift
Cows, Men or Heavy Weights.

LOWS, wen OF IIedNy w SiSHlSs
Lewiston (Me.) Cor. OF the New York World
Oscar f. Whitman Of this city possesses
strength that almost surpasses belief. Heis
Sc years of age, an unassuming sort of
fellow and can easily lift a cow. He also
toys with fat men as though they were
feathers. He has all his power in his
fnger-tips.
Whitman does not believe in spiritualism,
but he is confident that he has some strange
power which starts from his shoulders and
extends to his fnger-tips, apparently
through the bones, which he says feel to
him as though they we're hollow.
One day recently COW fell on the ice on
College street. and after sprawling about in
an effort 20 get up lay helpless. Four able
bodied men placed plank under the animal
and tried to prY her TO her feet, but they
could not succeed in raising her more than
a few inches. Whitman came along, on his
way home from work. and, .grasping the
situation at n glance, he held his arms out
at full length for an instant and then firmly
placed his hands under the COW.
The laugh of the bystanders at Whitman's
action was turned to surprise when, without
any apparent effort, he lifted the animal two
feet higher than standing position and
let her down gently until her feet were
firmly on the ground. That the curiosity of
the crowd might be appeased the COW was
led to the city scales and weighed, and she
tipped the beam at 700 pounds.
Recently he astonished Russell Bradbury,
the livery-stabe keeper; Albert Linscoti,
the shoe manufacturer. and E. g. Wood.
the Maine Central station agent. all of
whom are heavy-weights. by placing his
fingers on the top of table and pulling it
away from them. though they were braced
and firmly holding on to the legs.
1t has been advanced that electricity was
the agent that gave Whitman his pnweT,
and that he might dsprove this idea E. C..
Wood, W. A. Tarr, the Maine Central road
master, and George Smith, coal merchant,
met Monday afternoon. On a table placed
in the center of the room two water glasses
were set upside down, and touching his
fingers on the top of The non-condnetorS.
Whitman raised the table into the air and
toyed with it as though lie had a natural
grasn upon it.
When boy Whitman used 10 "play horse"
with tables and chairs, throwing them
around with the tips of his fingers. The
strange power he possessed frightened his
parents, who always kept it secret While
learning his trade in a shoP-shop be pun
ished several local boxers, though lie knew
nothing OF the science of the manly art.
Two years ago he quit work and has sDce
made for himself a luxurious home and a
geud-sized bank account. He has earned
this money by giving magnetic treatment.
Whitman has received flattering offers to
exhibit his powers in public, all Of which
be Steadfastiy declines.

brutes as easily as possible. To succeed in
the animal world the man must go 10 the
animal as M0hammed went to the mountain.
To win the love OF children one must for
the time become child. 1t was thus that
Landseer painted dogs. Elizabeth Thomp-
son and Rosa Bonheur horses and Morland
pigs.
To teach dog cute tricks is not to teach
him what you know. 1t is to bring out
what he already knows but is unable to put
into shape. Il is like man with great
invention-f he finds capitalist in SYM
patty some one is going to get rich. The
M0hammedans have hospitals for dogs and
the Hindo0s have sacred monkeys. In the
present day the Turk holds the balance of
power in Europe and the HindOo in Asia.
Do you want to teach your dog anything?
Begin by teaching yourself. Every time in
the world that races or men have degene-
rated it has been by cruelty and love of
money.
Be kind to dog and you can tame him
and make friend of him. Never strike a
dog II you do not want to make a brute of

and there. The more you beat dog the

abstruse science. The humblest often suc

monitions. In extreme cases you may
threaten him with whip or even crack 1t
before him. but never let him feel the lash.
On the other hand. whenever dog has
done what is wished, pat him, caress him
and encourage him in every way Dogs
have an extremely retentiva memory for
kindness as well as for cruelty. and dog is
perhaps the only animal which can read
sorrow in its owners face and proffer SYM
patty in all unmis:akable way.
The first thing to teach q dog in the
training process is to make MIN bring back
an object which Is at first thrown to him
and afterward simply thrown near him.
The second lesson is to get him to put it
back where he found 1t. II Is best to wait
till dog is year old before commencing
the training, but some animals begin to
learn at six months.
Ii there is any difficulty In getting an
otherwise intelligent dog to 90 through his
initiation as above, the simplest plan is to
prepare collar with spikes turned Inward.
A buckle is so arranged that slight

But to return 10 our dogs; how can dogs
be taught cute tricks?
Once upon time there were dogs in
Egypt and there are dogs in Egypt now.
The old-time Egyptians, who have only very
recently been found to be acquainted with
nearly every modern discovery and inven-
ton, had great generation for dogs. The
priests had their sacred dog In honor of
Anubis. In modern Egypt the dog is a
pariah. an outcast. It is even so in Judea.

Dogs have died on the graves of their

For every human being that dies OF

That is not a condemnable act. from the
standpoint of high humanity. which leads

haunted By the vision of its being NAL

These Two Elements With a Little

Written for THE MORNING CALL

When the performing flea was in trod uced
on the dime museum stage the most skepti-
cal OF the observers was forced 10 admit
that all animals are susceptible of educa-
ton; that they are perfectabie, if only the
little word "try" comes In.
Instinct and reason are divided by a very
narrow bridge, sharper than the sword-edge
over which Mohammedan believers pass
into Aidenn or Paradise. In many animals,
notably in the elephant, the monkey. the
dog, the horse, the carrier pigeon. the bee.
the ant, it is manifest that the statute of
limitations" is very uncertain factor
indeed.
Any person who wishes to commence the
training of animals must recogn izs and freely
admit certain propositions concerning which
the ordinary run Of men and women are
either Ignorant or wilifully unconvincibla.
That principle is that the cries and noises
which an animal naturally gives vent to,

among the wilhered flowers. When he

table supper had been prepared, and
Kitty held up the ten golden d0ubloons
