DODGEVILLE, Wis, April 22.+
A boy who attracts to himself all
kinds of inanimate objects-which
take on the power of motion when
he appears-is creating a sensation
in Mount Horeb, a village near
here.
The lad is Fred Brady, age II,
who lives with his grandparents
and is of more than average in
telligence. He cannot account for
the strange power that possesses
him. and is not conscious of any
deliberate exertion of it. When
the lad comes into room articles
of furniture will move toward him
and small articles lying about will
sometimes fly through the air to
him, as if drawn by a powerful
magnet.
On one occasion, when he enter
ed a room where a basket full OF
eggs was sitting on a table one of
the eggs flew from the basket half
way across the room, striking the
boy in the face with such force
as to break the egg. Another time

came out of it's place and came
