there are four Pleasant alleys in Wash

The ELECTRIC MAIDEN.
How Her Trick OF lifting = Heavy Persoz
In n Chair Is Performed.

There arc many tricks IN the repcrtorJ
Of tho so called electric or magnetic girl, all
of which seem, at first sight, to involve
either the possession Of superhuman
strength or else some occult power. As a
matter of fact, however they involve
neither. The stranRcst pnrt Of them is
that they are all within the ability Of any
one to perform. Furthermore, 10 Will be
found that the very mechanical laws
which these tricks appear TO set at defiance
are the ones upon which they depend for
their success, and the chief reason why
they have remained mysteries 10 those
who have witnessed thom is that they
have not tried TO repeat them themselves
upon the first opportunity afforded.
Let us take the first trick mentioned
namely, that of lifting a heavy person in
the chair Tell him TO sit down and hold
tho chair against all your efforts. lie will
plant his feet firmly on the floor, thus
throwing his weight chiefly on his feet in
stead of on the chair, as he thinks he is
doing If you are in doubt of this, try it
yourself, and you Will realize that it is "a
fact. To move the person all that the
girl has TO do il to get behind and push.
In the STOPPING position which she as
sumos she will obtain considerable pur-
chase by bracing her arms on her knees,
and will thus have no difficulty in raising
the chair slightly. As the sitter assumes
a now position, so as 10 moro successfully
resist this effort on the part OF the girl
she suddenly rclaXcs her push, directing
tho chair OFF 20 one side or the other. BE
foro the sitter has recovered himself she
has raised the chair again, and he is al
lowed to throw himself again, and 50 on.
The stronger no IS and tho moro he OPP
poses or strives to oppose her the worse he
is OFT, and the moro successful she Will be.
The trick is moro effective if three mon
try to hold the chair down, because Of
their divided effort and tho tendency.
