July 18th and Sth.
Professor Holzel is one of the
noted Hypnotists of the day and he
accompishes some astonishing feats
and displays this wonderful and
mysterious power in a startling man
ner. Patients can be made dead to
the world so that no sort of pinching,
slapping or pin jabbing will cause
them to move muscle. He makes
no wild gesticulations, does not tall

work and makes the subject do his
bidding absolutely.
The wonderful Mr.. Holzel is &C.

thee when we are absent one from
another. The discourse was in no
sense after the conventional style of

it at will. The ship has an air chamber

failed, but the debate was sharp and ex-
citing. Both houses adjourned until
