This evening they will break the
rock that has already been made
famous by the advertisements of other
hypnotists., 1t will be broken on the
tody of young man who weighs less
than one-fourth as much as the rock

The canary bird test proved quite
popular and brought out some splen-

and proceeded to console it by the
music that soothes the breasts of

no damage was done and the audi

4 IL &c ;-h rayN1uti0n
TO be shown in Keosax to-
night. Owing to the great demand
for this late picture it will be shown
for one night only. 1t shows Lisbon
before and after the revolution. A
very interesting series OF pictures
showing scenes in Lisbon, the prin

Portuguese soldiers with King Man

are also striking views portrayine
King Manuel's visit to England last
wear, with his welcome at Portsmouth
and the later visit to the city, and as
an additional interesting item the
view taken at King Edwards funera
showing King Manuel and eight othel
kings. These in themselves should
prove great attraction to picture
programs.
The views were taken Friday, Oct

representation OF the change that mas
taken place at Lisbon We see the
huge crowds in the public squares
the barricades and the soldiers, the
horses and the wounded, and also the
very nondescrip crowds rushing
hither and thither, anxious for the

flag is to be seen in many directions
and among the buildings that have
suffered from the shells we have eN

with huge holes in the windows
