" on a Committee
II any of our readers are asked to
act upon a committee for one OF these
entertainers and desires to test the
matter for himself. simply tell the OPP
orator that you will take his word
when he says he does not use his eyes,
and to show you do not doubt him of
fer to dispense with the blindrold com
pletely. Tell him you will be satisfied
| II he keeps his eyelids shut down
tightly. If the operator is one who
has depended upon the mohair mask
he will have to use personal contact
and fall back on muscle reading. and
II he resorts to muscle reading there
will be no furious driving OF the
horses. wish some OF our readers
would try this suggestion at an early
opportunity and report the result To
me for publication.
! In performing these muscle reading
tests you can increase the interest and
heightcn the effect by swapping your
fingers and breathing rapidly as
though the exertion were very great
When your tests are completed you
can appear greatly exhausted.

Gently in newspaper 1t speaks for
itself:
Embodied and free from physical
contact, Professor McEwen, the hyp
notist and mind reader, at noon today
drove through the crowded streets oi
the city, found a book which had been
secretly hidden in Whites restaurant

Mayor Byrne and n. +. Nuzum.
McEwen is said to be the only mind
reader in the world who makes his
drive free from contact, and he Is the
inventor and first successful perform

For this mornings performance q
committee, consisting Of Mayor Byrne
y. f. Nuzum, exalted ruler of the

street with a marvellous skill and deN
terity. The police patrol was driven In
front OF the team by the order of the
mayor. Its course, however was di
rected by the blindfolded driver, whn
shouted directions to the team In front
The course selected by the commit
tee was so arranged that 1t led the
driver twice past the place where tho
book was hidden and one of the most
remarkable parts OF the test was that
when the place was reached McEwen
exclaimed: Il ought to stop here, but
you are making me go on" and contin'

time. Stopping in front OF the restaur

hand in his, and rushed into the place
back to the rear, and uncovered the
book without any apparent hesitation
Then back to the carriage and on
dead run to the Auditorium, where he
proceeded to find the words before
mentioned. When he finished he was
nearly exhausted, but stated that he
was in good condition.
THE test was perfect" said Mayor
Byrne, after 1t was all over. 1T was
the most wonderful performance ever
