An electrical invention by Otto Gle

BY the aid of electricity Mr.. Sieberus
has succeeded and is enabled to rise from
the earth and to raise other objects. 1t
has been known for centuries that two
electrically charged bodies attract or re-
pei each other, according as they are
charged with the same or opposite kinds
OF electricity. 1t has been more than
suspected that gravtation is merely the
pull of the earth's electricity. But I'M
til now no one has succeeded in so charg-
ing n body with electricity that the gray
itation would be overcome and the body
be free to rise from the earth. Mr.. Sic
berus has made new form of electrical
machine and charged his body one day
as an experiment, when he noticed that
his body was almost without weight. He
at once followed this line of experiment
and succeeded in getting the electrical
charge strong enough to overcome CRAWL
tation. The difficulty remaining is caus-
ed by the quick dissipation of the charge;
this Mr.. Sieberus is seeking to overcome
by means of silk garment.
