Gently. at Kingston, by Dr.. CO. Sahler,
who, desiring to study the case, in
duced Mrs. Lundelius to visit his insti-
tuition. In the presence of $50 persons
the girl gave an exhibition which as
tonished the spectators. She resisted
the combined strength of two men to
raise her, and when another was added
to the number they were still power
less.
She appeared to make no resis lance.
but by placing her hand on one of the
men all their efforts We're in vain. One
man, with a lifting capacity of 800
pounds could not bulge her from the
floor. This power does not always eX-
ert itself. ~
DR.. Sahler, in giving theory, said:
Stella'S power consists in bringing
her will or nerve force into harmony
with that of the person who attempts
to raise her, and thus destroying his
individuality. When it is impossible
to bring about such a unison of vibra-
ton the other person does not lose his
individuality and his natural strength
is not overcome"
One feature of this little girls pc.

come the law of gravitation to such an
extent as to make 1T easy for any per-
son to remove heavy articles of furni-
ture. Her mother said tonight this
power was accidentally discovered in
her attempt to shove an upright piano
about the room. Unable to bulge it
herself. she playfully asked Stella to
place her hand upon the instruments.
She did and Mr.. Lundelius, to her as
constituent, was able to push the piano
without effort. The same course was,
adopted, it Is declared, with a large
bookcase filled with books and with
similar success.
In addition to the power described
Stella is said to be possessed of a high
degree of that quality known as mag
netism and, it is claimed, relieves bod
lily aches and pains by passing her
hand over the affected part. Her father
suffered from congested nerves so that
he could not raise his foot from the
floor. Six Port Jervis doctors failed
to give relief and a physician from
New York city relieved the pain only
by giving mercury until, as Mr.. Lund-.
elius says, he was a walking ther-
mometer." His little daughter rubbed
his side a few times and he was able
to raise his foot from the floor four
inches, and three or four treatments
are said to have wrought a cure.
Stella LundeliuS is one of the young

and is a clever Violinst. She is strong
and robust, but understood, weighing

National Suffragists Convene This
Month

The thirty-fifth annual convention
of the National Woman Suffrage asso-
citation will be held in New Orleans,
La, March 10 to 25 inclusive. AL
though st. Paul has q political equality
club, the organization is in it's infancy
and it is not probable that it will be
represented at the coming convention.
The association goes to New Orleans
in response to an invitation from the
Progressive union, the Era club of
women, and many prominent individ
uals. 1t is especially appropriate that
the advocates of this important reform
should assemble in Louisiana. in honor
of the action taken by this state in
1898, when its constitutional conven-
ton Incorporated a clause giving to
tax paying women a vote on all uues-
lions of taxation submitted to the cleo
tors; in concentration of the splen-
did use they made of this privilege at
the election held to secure to New Or
leans the completion of its drainage,
and establishment of a sewerage sys-
tenn and free water supply, and in cele-
bration of the recent decision of the
state supreme court which has de-
clared invalid the act of the last >Iegis-
lature that proposed to take the large
fund for this. purpose out of the hands
of the legally appointed bo8fd.E 1t is
fitting, therefore, that these victories
should be celebrated in the state which
made them possible.
Never in the fifty years of this move
ment have it's advocates had such a
victory to record as was achieved in
Australia in June, 1902. Almost the
first act of the parliament OF the new
federation was to confer the full fed
eral suffrage, carrying with lathe right
to a seat in the parliamentary body,
on all Qualified women of gf,a9,entire
commonwealth. This one act enfran-
chised about 100000 women At this
time in only two of the six states com
prising the ederation-South and
West Australia-did women possess
the complete state suffrage, but at the
first meeting of the New South Wales
parliament it was granted to the wom-
Ell of that state, and according to
trustworthy information, similar ac-
ton will be taken by that of Victoria
before the close of the session.

added those of New Zealand and of

NEW YORK GIRL
HAS MYSTIC POWER
Apparently Defies the Laws
of Grayitation at
Will.

PORT JERVIS, n. Y. March p
Stella Lundelius. the twelve-year-ol
daughter of A. Lundelius, photogra-
pher, of this place. possesses the re-
markable faculty of being able to in
crease the apparent weight of her own
body. This power was first noticed by.
her father when she was a child, gust
able to stand alone. Mr.. Lundeius
observed that under certain conditions
the eXertion required to lift her was
greater than under ordinary circuln-
stances.
One day, while sitting in his chair.
with the child standing on the floor
between his knees, Mr.. Lundelius dis
covered that by putting his finger on
the back OF the neck of a person who
attempted to pick UP the babe there
was a resistance power which held the
child to the floor. At the time he be-

self.
Since then the child has been the
subject of much experiment by per-
sons DESTROYS of testing her alleged
power. By simply placing her hand in
contact with persons who attempt the
lifting she apparently brings into play
some mysterious force, which neutral

In one experiment tried the lifting
power of several men was eXerted in

if the weight of her slender little body
had been multiplied many times.
c. O. Young made a test of the girls
power. On the first trial the child in

lifted the second the raGictipp N

the result that his full strength was

government as u great privilege for
which, in addition, each must pay $40

The hen as well as the dog occupies
conspicuous place of discussion in all
the wOmens periodicals, for the breed
ing of prize birds as well as of puppies
has become a great fad with many
wealthy women. Outdoor occupations
are increasing in favor as a means of
livelihood for self-supporting women,

breeding is the sale of eggs or broil-
ers. White fancy fowls are the only

Hockey is on the top wave of pop
ularity and the vigorous sport has
achieved a favor which is international.
In England the game has a strong hold,
there are clubs all over the Continent
and in Holland especially there is an
individual method of play. A large
meet was held there recently at which
some of the most conspicuous clubs of
English women contended and some
international matches are promised yet
to furnish much excitement. In Eng
