THE MAGNETIC GIRL.
An Explanation of How Her Tricks May
Easily Be Duplicated.

An Explanation of How Her Tricks May
Easily Be Duplicated.
While in Chicago saw the announce
ment of an electric girl who included
in her repertory new trick, or at least
one that had not yet seen. A stick
about four feet long and as thick as
broomstick " as produced, and l and an
other gentleman were requested to hold
it in vertical position before us while
grasping it firmly in both hands. The
girl. standing in front of and facing us,
placed the palm OF her open hand against
the lower portion of the stick, resting
it en- the side nearest to us and farthest
from herself. After rubbing her hand
up and down for few moments in or
der ''to make better electric contact"
as we were informed, and after enjoin.
ing Us to hold the stick perfectly verti-
cal, we were told to press down on it as
hard as we could
This we did until the veins seemed
to stand out on our foreheads; but, ex-
ert ourselves as hard as we could, we,
two strong men, were unable to press
down hard enough to make tho stick
slip past the open palm of her hand
Had the girl grasped the stick with her
two hands, am sure she could not have
withstood my downward pressure alone
would have borne her, stick and all,
to the floor. But there she stood, with
but one open hand bearing against the
side of the stick, and both us could not
by our united efforts force the stick past
that wonderful hand. Surely there
seemed something uncsnny about this
But it is very simply explained.
The whole secret consists in insisting
upon the men holding tho stick in a
vertical position. When the girls open
hand is first placed against the lower
portion of the stick, she moves it two
or three times up and down, pulling
gradually more and more against it. AS
this tends to pull the stick away from
the vertical, she insists that the men
keep it straight. Thus cautioned, they
will exert moro and more effort until,
when she feels that tho pressure against
her hand is sufficient, she instructs them
to push down with all their might
They do SO and imagine that they are
exerting tremendous vertical thrust,
whereas their vertical effort is actually
very slight-insufficient even to over.
come tho friction Of the stick against
her moist hand. The men are really ex-
erting tremendous effort, but are de-
ceived as to its direction. With their
hands tightly grasping the upper end ct
the stick they arc really trying to force
the other end of the stick against the
palm of her hand.-N. W. Perry il

wHYwoMEN MAKE POOR DETECTIVES
A Secret Service Man Says the Opposite
Sex Make BAD Spiea,

A Secret Service Man Says the Opposite
Sex Make Bad Spies.
''Women are not good detectives, -
Said an experienced secret service man
on being asked his opinion. "To begin
with, there are many places to which q
woman cannot 90 without exciting sus-
picion, and this defeats her object at
the outset, but beyond this woman is
untitled by nature for detective work.
"In the first place, she jumps at con-
olusion and acts on it in opposition to
all human probabilities, possibilities
and reason. As rule. q woman does
not reason. She looks on thing as she
wants it to be or thinks it ought to be,
and will follow that theory. She is led
by prejudices, tavors or sympathies, re.
gardless Of facts.
As q detective she is sometimes a
success in entrapping man. but her
work generally ends in blunder which
betrays her. She is persevering only
when moved by passion. She does not
look at a case dispassio ionately. She at
once decides that he or she is guilty or
innocent and works on that theory.
a woman enjoys the mysterious, and
she is so elated at her position as detect
i've that she is unable to conceal her
identity or the secret Investigations Of
case.
Women are even failures in running
down criminals Of their own sex. A
woman criminal will mislead woman
detective by working on her vanity,
credulity or sympathy. and. worst Of
lall, il the detective be attractive and
the man criminal handsome-well, q
man is better for detective work, and
besides woman will sell ont case,
and cheaply at that, relying upon hor
sex to.eseape punishment if detected. /"
