powers. He could cause himself to be

once hoated over the heads of an as
semblage of devotees at Orlssa for
distance of more than hundred yards.
He stated that for the performance OF
gross feats OF a matericl character the
assistance OF earth, or nature spirits,
Ia required. For the performance of
illusory or magical feats of power,
such as flying through or walking up
on the air, resisting FIRE, producing

abdomen, remove handful of intes-

and then return them again, and heal
up the wound by few magical passes
