Her history, aside from the strange
force she possesses, is simply told.
She was born in Naples forty-one
years ago of poor parents. When
eight years old her father was killed
by brigands. and this tragedy had a
strange effect upon her nerves, which,
in measure may account for her
powers. She became hysterical and
was often the victim of hallucina-
tions, seeing strange faces staring at
ner from the walls and ceilings.
Then she began to fall into frances,
and spiritualists who heard Of her
Induced her to take part in seances
when she was but thirteen years old
She tired of This after a while, but
when twenty-five years old Shit again
came under the influence of spirit
ualist.
Now she has little or nothing to do
with spiritualism Her strange
powers first attracted attention about
seven years ago, and since then she
has been in every large city of Europe

more remarkable than any OF the
Others, because 1t shows the surprising
energy Of the force she exerts. Here
tofore she has only attempted to move
small things, like causing letter
weighing machine to move up and
down, and humping the keys of a
piano placed at some distance from
her.
In this last exhibition there were
number of scientific men present, and
they adopted many precautions against
the exercise Of fraud or the introduce
ton Of any outside agency. The wife
Of one OF the scientists had dressed the
peasant woman in a tight fitting GYM
nasium suit to guard against the posi-
bility of her using any concealed
mechanism in performing her won
ders.
In the drawing room, where the
tests were made. Eusapia was seated In
a light bamboo chair, entirely devoid
Of anything which would conceal the
smallest thing. The peasant woman
always falls into trance when giving
her exhibitions, and when she had
reached this stage one of the scientists
got down on his knees on the floor and
held her legs firmly in his hands. An
other caught hold of her hands and
held them in tight grip, while am
other stood Immediately at the back of
her chair to watch for any suspicious
movement. A fourth stood right in
front of her for the same purpose, and
Others were grouped around eager to
catch her in any deception.
Then the excitement began. The
trance-like sleep deepened. The first
thing to feel the force of the woman
was heavy arm chair, placed in the
recess of the window 1t began to
move about in spasmodic jumps, and
then toy piano. standing near, be-
gan to play. The heavy window cur
tains swelled out into the middle OF
tho room and twined itself about the
head of one of the watchers. The
leg Of distant table pounded tnree
times on the floor and the heavy arm
chair moved up and down. One of
the watchers felt something like
sharp blow in the small of the back.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1896-10-01

and another, bald headed man, cried
out that something had hit him on
the top of the head like the five fin
gers OF a hand. Another was pinched
on the right arm.
All this time the toy piano was
gathering away, the table leg was
pounding on the floor and the arm
chair was moving up and down. The
sleep of the woman seemed 10 grow
deeper and the noise greater. Then
came the strangest part Of the test.
The window curtains broke loose
from the pole and came on 4 table
near Eusapia. Then the toy piano
sailed through the air, striking one
OF the watchers on the lead and
landing near tie curtains While
the piano was still in the air Eusap.a
got up from the chair and it started on
a fight through the air, first back
ward and upward, and eventually
landing in the lap OF the man who
had been sitting right in front Of
her.
