Prof. Cecips ''Spiritualistic Elk
pose," last Thursday evening, was
we'll attended, aud the audience were
amply repaid for going. The various
tricks of the Spiritual Medium were
performed in a truly mystifying man
ner, and would readily mislead a
any believers in the silly, nonsenslcal
fraudulent craze-Splritualism. The
Professor was tied by the audience
and the ropes loosened by spirits.()l
He was tied and united by the hands
of his ghostly assistants; indeed no
tangle of ropes or intricate knots ap
peared to hold him any longer than
he desired. The audience selected a
committee, composed of Rev. }. +.
Oakley. and Messrs. Landberg and
Collier, who went upon the stage and
were the victims of the evening.
After tying the Professor and his as
sistant hand and foot and as they
went to close the door, they each III
turn got a slap on the head from
hand in the cabinet; they went into
the cabinet, one at time, with the
and Mr.. Oakley appeared
crowned with tamborine, Mr.. COL
lier with his vest turned inside out
and Mir. Landberg minus his vest,
his suspenders off his shoulders, and
a-well the door was opened just in
time to avert a catastrophe. The
mystery as t. how this was done, as
the Professor was tied hand and foot
Mr.. Oakley held him in the chair, Mr.
Collier held his own hands inter
locked behind his back and Mr..
Landberg held the Professors hands
But after the entertainment, the Pro-
fessor explained how it was done:
In the first place no rope can be tied |
on his wrists that he cannot slip; OF
course, his hands once free, the rest
is simple. It would occupy too much
space to give longer account of the
entertainment, but we dol
not think there was one person pres
ent who was not fully convinced that
spiritualism is humbug, fraud and
sWindle.
