Oh the American Colonial tracts
Monthly This number is discourse
concerning the designed establishment
Of a new colony to the South of Caro-
lima, in the most delightful country OF
the universe. by Sir Robert Mount
gomery, Baronet, London, I'LL 1t is
quaint and profoundly interesting
paper and at this distance of time reads
like a prophecy and a romance 1t
throws no little light upon the colonial
history of our country
From THE Lulu Hurst Book Com
pany" Rome, Ga.,) we have fat paper
covered volume by Lulu Hurst" now
Mrs. Paul Atkinson, once known as the
Georgia Wonder" In this illustrated
volume she gives the story of her life,
how she developed the power" that
made her wonder" and by which she
apparently lifted 900 pounds of mas
culinity on a chair, overcome strong men
by the touch of her hand on a billiard
cue or an umbrella, wrested chairs from
the grip of two or three men and
did other marvellous feats. She
explains all that once seemed
so strange and shows it was all
trickery and accomplished by the ad
roit use of the principle of leverage ap-
piled in the DETECTION of forces. She
says in her own defense that she did
not know for a long time how she ac-
complished her feats. Once convinced
that she had no supernatural power she
ceased giving exhibitions and wrote this
very interesting book, which. by the
way, goes quite distance in explaining
table tipping and spirit rapping.
