CLEVER SUPER MIND WORK BY CUNNING Wonderful Performance at the Grand--The Audiences Are Greatly Impressed. Cunning, who is appearing all this week at the Grand, is without doubt the cleverest "super mind" seen in Kingston, and last night another large audience witnesséd his per- formance and marvelled at the won- derful things he did. His work in mind-reading is more accurate than that of any other member of his Rro- fession seen here. Cunning says he cannot explain his power to give the names of persons in the audience who have written questions placed in sealed envelopes and to answer then, but he does it, ana every question answered last night was correct, as proven by each one who asked acknowledging that his or her query was rightly given and satis- factorily replied to. Most of his ing up and down the aisles blind- folded His performance is indeed wonderful and continues to interest large numbers of people. Many questions are put mind" by mothers and sisters who bave husbands, sons and brothers overseas. Another. interesting part of Cun- ning's demonstration of the harmony of thought and mind is when ques- tions Are written ' and placed in sealed envelopes directing his three girl assistants to sing, dance or Otherwise perform. One request was for a certain girl to sing "0 Can- ada." The suggestion was. conveyed to the girl by Cunning while he was blindfolded and she imntediately re. sponded with the song desired. An- other request was for the dainty damsel in purple to kiss a bald- headed man, and the lassie respond- ed by suddenly stopping in the aisle and planting a kiss on the head of a Queen's prafessor, to. the great amusement of the audience. Cunning's "digital dexterity and otlier perplexing manipulations, in- cluding trunk and cabinet mysteries, have not been surpassed. aabbieid SLL Special Sale of Babies' Dresses. silk and muslin dresses, special prices, $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50. n's, ------------ Gananoque Soldier 'Writes.
