Los nliIagr ros
de- los fakires'

I'm collaboration del <Strang Ma
gazine,, ha publicado en- este Pc
ri6dico un artfculo en- que, Sc dice la
verdad acerca de los pretendidos
milagros de los fakires indios, los
lc:,ales son nj mas nj menos, que ha-
bilfsimos prestidigitadores.
Charles Bertrand, que asf Sc
llama el colaborador del <Strand
Magazine,, ha tenido Ia fuerza de
voluntad suficiente para estudiar,
durante seis meses. Ell <Djadon,, es
decir, la magia india.
La friolera de 176 fakires, ele-
gidos entire los mas famosos por su
santidad, han sido consultados por
Bertrand, que ha acabado por con-
vertirse en- uno de tantos, tras de 10
cual ha venido & Europa reirse en-
las barbas de los imbeciles que adn
Green en- brujos hechiceros, mas 6
menos in ndios. -
Las dos experiencias mas cele-
bres entire cuantas practican los fa-
kires son las de cuerda i la de la Sc
milla de mango.
La primera consiste en- arrojar
una cuerda al aire, consiguiendo que
quede extendida, i .hacer con ella
luego juegos malabares, tales como
apoyarla en- la mano por uno de los
extremes, sin que pierda su extraf1a
rapidez, 8 jugar con ella, como en-
tiempos pasados jugaba el bast6n
un tambor mayor.
La experiencia de la semilla
consiste en- plantarla en- TERRA hi.
media ante los espectadores, con-
segufr en- .breve tiempo-cinco mi
nutos que la semilla germine, crez.
ca la planta, de fruto i Sc seque por
dltimo.
Una como otra brujerfa admira'
ban hasta hoy q cuantos las presen'
ciaron.
Pero Charles Bertrand ha des.
cubierto Ell pastel.
La cuerda lleva dentro de ST un
alambre de igual longitud, POGO que
mado.
La ha abilidad esta en- dar un la
tigazo con la cuerda en- ell aire al
arrojarla, de tai modo. que quede
completamente extendida.
Y 10 demas no ofrece como Sc
We dificultad extraordinaria.
Lo de la semilla es un sencillo
escamoteo.
Ell fakir leva oculto en- los pile
CUES de su ropa ejemplares de man
go. Uno apenas nacido, otro en- flor,
otro con fruto uno seco.
Y va entienden Vds. el <truc,.
Lo mas notable de estas conf
dencias de Bertrand, es que esos
majaderos que Sc llaman te6sotos, no.
sacaalces, m,arti,aistas, etcetera, estan
indignados con Charles Bertrand,
quien reprochan ell tomar a broma
una cosa tan respectable como clos
poderes latentes, de los seres vivos
/ de las cosas inanimadas.
