Frederick has an iron jawed boy in the
person of Emory Bruchey, aged 10. He is
probably five feet six inches in height and
weighs about 1870 pounds. His power rests
in his ability to lift heavy weights with his
teeth which he accomplishes with an ease
that is little less than wonderful to behold.
One Of his pastimes is to lift some inches
from the floor several times in rapid success
sion an ordinary barrel filled with stone, the
weight Of which Is 1876 pounds. He also
lifts smaller barrel filed with water on
which is seated small boy. Another feat
of strength consists of lifting his own weight
with his teeth. In the last performance he
swings himself to and fro for some distance,
apparently az much at ease "a if seated In q
swing. The young man has been lifting
heavy weights with bis teeth for two years
and gradually grows stronger. 1t Is proba-
BILE that he will be engaged by travelling
troupe which will give performance in
Baltimore in the near future. Mea
