The Ethics Of Hypnotic Shows.


( Bozeman people have been enjoying()
during the past week the privilege and
advantages of hypnotic exhibition by
man. named Grift1ths, who claims to
be a sort of king in that method Of
entertaining an audience. Just what
proportion of science and what proper
{ t.on of trickery may be mixed up in
tILis strange performances, or whether
ST is all strictly scientific phenomena
RI hich the public witnesses, the Chron-
tlNle is not going to say because it
taoesn't know. One thing, however, we
hare willing to hazard an opinion upon,
}sDecause believe it called for, and that
EEelates to the benefit to the public of
these alleged hypnotic performances.
We can see good deal of harm that
can come from attending them and
mighty little good of any kind. to most
of the audience at least. Why should
any man surrender his will to that of
a stranger in order that he may make
him act the part of monkey for the
{ entertainment of an audience, even If

t. it and governing it's use are little
known to the wisest and most profound
searchers in this deep secret of crea-
ton. A man or woman who thinks
1 rightly about it, and reverently as he
or she should. will not lend it to an
amateur to play silly pranks with in
order to make an unthinking audience
laugh, even if that were the end of the
consequences of his action and he can
! be by no means sure of that fact in
the present state of scientific knowl-
edge on the subject. There is theory

The story goes that this man GrifI1ths

performances hypnotized one of his

WITH THE WHEELNEN.

An astonishing case was discovered in Brooklyn bicycle academy recent ly. It was that of a middle aged man who couldenot walk without crutches, but who could ride a wheel. Some time ago both of his kneecaps were broken, and after getting out of bed he took to cycling by the advice of his physician. He goes, for a short slow spin every clear day. leaving his crutches in the store. and he says. that he is recovering the use of his limbs rapidly. He uses Schainless wheel with cushion frame, one of the 1901 developments. .
 Charles W. Miller. the six-day rider. arrived in New York yesterday to await the arrival of the delayed steam ship Vaderland, on which he will sail for Europe with his big motor bicycle. Miller said that he was done With six-day contests and in fact all kinds of racing in this country. but ex- poets to make good showing on the other side. He expressed the opinion that "Major" Taylor would defeat Jacquelin when the pair met. This is opposed to the prediction of Arthur Ross, who says that Taylor cannot beat the French champion. Both Ross and Miller have raced with the Frenchman. Miller's opinion is based on Taylor's quickness at getting under way for the final sprint. He says the African is spryer than JacQuelin, who rides 1O4 gear. ...
