MYSTERIOUS PERFORMANCE.

Probably one of the most interest
ing, and at the same time an exhibi-
tion that will cause more wonder and
comment at the carnival next week
Will be that of Peggy from Paris. T"
This little lady's exhibition is entire
ly one out of the ordinary and the
only one of its kind in existance to-
day. In a large black tent and on
well lighted stage Peggy is brought
before an audience, beautifully gown
ed she is then placed in a state of
coma or hypnotism and is then i'm
mediately made to rise in mid air
and from then on her exhibition is
one that delights the believers in the
mystery and puzzles those who do
not believe in 1t.
Then she is made to turn complete
ly about in midair, floating and fly
ing through the air with the ease and
grace of a bird. She lies perfectly
horizontal in the air as gracefully
as though reclining on bed of roses,
dancing in perfect time to music a
beautiful serpentine in midair di-
rectly before the front of the aud
ience and completely away from the
stage, and at the conclusion of her
performance a lsolid inon hoop is
given the audience for inspection and
anyone allowed to come forward
and pass the hoop over her form
while she is in the air.
