mans, however, the same old dis
turbance began, and the upshot was
that she left the place and went home
TO her mother. Since then the Hoff-
mans have enjoyed rest, and, though
Barbara has visited them more than
once. her old kitchen enemies have
paid no attention to her.
OF these strange occurrances, which
were witnessed by many reputable
persons, DR.. Wolfram offers plaus-
ible explanation. Electricity, be
thinks, is at the bottom of them. A
Spiritualist who witnessed them holds
that they were the result of animal,
or rather, human, magnetism. Bar
Oars, says DR.. Wolfram, has a great
deal Of electricity in her. aud this
came into play under favorable con-
ditions. When she held any object
In her hand or passed near it, that
object was attracted by the electricity
in her, and was moved thereby.
When she went into strangers houses
there was lack of electrial force, and
so nothing happened. This case, then,
in his opinion, simply illustrates the
working of positive and negative
electricity, just as the weather Illus
trates it.
Still, it is strange that there should
be more electricity in Hoffman's
house than in other houses, and that
there should be such an extraordinary
amount of electricity IN an ordinary
little German servant girl. Possibly
one reason why Barbara's presence in
other persons houses produced no un'
usual commotion is because she may
have been tired or out of sorts when
she entered them. Anyhow, it is a
singular case, and one which has
aroused good deal of talk.

AN ELECTRIC GIRL.
Strange Story of the Actions OF
Erratic Kitchen Utensils.
AND HENRY COUNTY NEWS.
New York Herald.)

New York Herald.)
The following story would be al
most incredible if it were not told by
reputable person. This reputable
person is DR.. Wolfram, a German
physician, and q man of excellent
reputation. He resides at Kups, In
Upper Franconia, and there occurred
recently the extraordinary events of
which he tells US.
News was brought to him one
evening that little Barbara Roeschln,
who was employed as maid servant
by a man named Hoffman, had been
afflicted with a strange malsdy. The
doctor went to Hoffman's house, and
at sight Of him Barbara began to cry
bitterly. When she was soothed, Mr..
and Mrs. Hoffman told the doctor a
wonderful story. Barbara, they SAID,
was knitting in the kitchen one day
during the previous week, when sud-
denly knife sprang from the dresser
and hit young grl, who was with
Barbara, pretty hard on the nose
Other kitchen articles began to clat-
ter at the same time, and the disturb
ances did not cease until Barbara left
the kitchen. Next morning when she
began to light the FIRE a heavy stone
few toward her, and some strange
fever OF unrest seemed to have taken
possession of other kitchen utensils.
Hoffman and his brother now began
to watch her closely, and they saw
that many articles wolld move to-
ward her whenever she came near
them. For example, heavy beer
cask toppled over, large water bar
rel shook so much that it had to be
held in place, and big trough, in
which pigs were fed. turned upside
down several times, and finally had
to be nailed to the ground. On
another occasion large jug of water
fell on the floor, and while Barbars
was mopping it up, child's sleigh
few down from its peg and hit hel
smartly on the back.
In the cows stall similar commo-
tion rose while Barbara MIXED, and
when she went into the cellar the
potatoes danced the maddest can-can
imaginable. In word, the whole
house was turned topsv.turvy through
Barbara. When she went home to
her mother for o few hours peace
reigned both in the Hoffmans house
and in Barbara's home,
DR.. Wolfram examined the girl
carefully and found nothing unusual
about her. She is II years old, strong
and we'll built, and her pulse beats
regularly. He took her into neigh
boris house to see if anything would
happen there, and found that her
presence produced no effect. On her
return to the Hoffmans Barbara went
into room adjoining the kitchen, and
at once every vessel fell from the
shelf to the floor. A few minutes
later she happened to lean against q
child's carriage that stood at the open
door, and straightway small heavy
stool few through the air and hit her
with one leg on the head.
On the following day Barbara went
to the doctors house, and he and she
sat for half an hour in the Kitchen
The doctor watched hcr closely, and
noticed tiat she was occasionally
seized with . curious tremor. Moth.
ing unusual, however happened in
the kitchen during the sitting.
