The Could Fiddle Under Spurious Hypno-

The Could Fiddle Under Spurious Hypno-
tism rs Well When Not Under 1t.
A short time since there arrived in Port
land young gentleman who Is a very
skillful and artistic performer on the vio-
lin. On account of this and other good
qualities, he found warm welcome in
musical circles, and frequent gatherings
Of the unsteady inclined were held for his
listening to his playing.
On one occasion there happened to be
present at one of these gatherings young
lady whom he had not previously met, and
who was also performer of no small
merit on the violin. 1t was arranged
among the party that joke should be
played on the newcomer The evening
passed pleasantly, many beautiful selec.
tions being played on the piano and other
instruments by members of the party, in
terspersed with singing and conversation
the subject of hypnotism being brought
up and discussed at some length, the new
conner expressing his total disbelief i'm this
occult science.
just before the time for parting he played
with great feeling and taste one of Bee
thoven's sonatas, which was loudly ap-
p'"NNNN' iiNii biiO VI tDt
what fine thing 1t would bo If any one
could be hypnotized and made to play like
that. Another, who had expressed his be-
lief in hypnotism and claimed he possessed
some knowledge of the science said he be-
lieved he could hypnotA any member of
the party and cause him or her to play
the violin, perhaps not so well as thslast
performer. but passably well. He was at
once urged 10 make the experiment. but
no one was willing to be experimental
upon. Finally the young lady mentioned
was, at the solicitation of her friends, in
duced TO consent to be hypnotized.
The usual motions were gone through,
and she gradually passed into the hypno-
tized state Then violin and bow were
placed in her hands and she was directed
to reproduce the sonata last played She
went through the entire piece without an
error, and played it about as well as the
gentleman who had preceded her, TO the
wonder and establishment of all, and espe-
cially to the first performer. He had not
the least idea that the lady was q violin
player, and imagined that there must be
more in hypnotism than he had supposed
He had his revenge later when the Joke
was explained to him by remarking that
this was fair sample of the workings of
hypnotism. Portland Oregonian.
