hypnotists who created such a sensation at
Bangor last fall, by putting man to sleep
in show window for two days and three
nights without food or water will make their
first appearance in this city next Monday
night at Belfast Opera House. The papers
last year reported that the Lees recently
created quite a sensation by burying hyp-
Noticed man alive for thirty three hours,
under five feet of ground. in the city park at
Chillicothe, o. They also hypnotized a man
in that town by telephone, from Columbus,
Ohio, a distance of over fifty miles, and
then had the committee, composed of physi-
clans and newspaper men of both towns,
run hat pins through the hypnotized mans
face and arms, without causing any pain or
allowing a drop of blood TO flow. Every
30 cent ticket reserved at City Drug Store

Freight Clerk Fred Black of the steamer
| City of Bangor had an exciting experience
a few days ago with a bicycle and the roads
! between Winterport and Searsport, and in
| cidentally made a record for himself as
| scorcher, although he says the sun did the
| most of the scorching. just as the boat was
| about to leave the Wnterport wharf on her
| way down river on the afternoon in ques-
ton he stepped Off to attend to some errand
and when back to edge of the wharf the
| steamer was several feet off too far to Jump
| and he could not at the time seem to Justify
| himself in ate mpting to swim for it, al
| though Steward Fred W. Pote, who took
| charge of his work temporarially thinks that
| he should have tried it at least. So the boat
| sailed away without any freight clerk This,
| however, did not immerse that enterprising
| young man i'll the slough of despond for
| more than a few moments, at least for he
was shortly seen going up town like shot
! and very soon afterwards might have been
| observed starting out on a bicycle that he
| had procured headed for Searsport and
| bound to get there before the boat or "bust."
| And he did get there first, making the II
| miles in all hour and seventeen minutes.
| which was rapid time when it is considered
| that portion of the road Is very hilly. And
they do say that the expression of his face
| as he stood on the Searsport Wharf waiting
| to catch the heavng line thrown from the
| steamer as she came in there was very diff
| ferent from the one he wore as he gazed at
her recedng from Winterport.
