Clawscn, I h G
young hypnotist who is attracting so
much attention of late, gave an exhi-
pltion of his art, which was highly
amusing and instructive.
There is mystery connected with
nypnotism which has never been thor
oughly accounted for notwithstanding
many have attempted to demonstrate
II. How one person can subdue the in
teilectual faculties of another and
make him subject to his own will seems
too odd for belief. Still, it is done and
yesterdays exhibition was an excellent
one.
ME Clawson had two subjects, both
of whom were excellent They. of
course. made no resistance to his work
and the results were such as to cause
the spectators to marvel
His first act was to cause them to
sleep This was the first step. In pro-
ducfng this condition the young man
used very simple methods, when the
actions of others, some so-called pro
fessors,' are considered. There was no
waving of hands. no minutes of ges-
tlculation. 1t was simply fitting the
subjects head back, a slight pass and
the pupils of the eyes turned upward
the subject was asleep.
Clawson then put both men in the
somnambulistic stage. This is different
from the first in this. that the subjects
have their eyes open and walk. talk
and do various things. His first act
was to cause one of them to believe
he was a girl, attracted by the per
sonal charms of a young man who sat
opposite. The hypnotized youth went
over and acted as lovingly as though
there were no spectators present. Dur
ing this display of affection the hyp-
notist directed the attention of the
other TO the fact that his girl had de-
serted him for another young man.
Then there was a scene. The outraged
lover flew over to the vis-a-vis where
the pair were sitting and dragged his
quondam sweetheart from the place
where he was sitting and lectured him
severely on the evils of flirting with
another man.
Releasing one from the spell, he /
changed the trend of the others /

man had leaped to his feet. grasped /
his companions arms and shouted for |
