to such an extent that it was impossible
to lift her. At one time she placed
three young men on a chair and lifted
their entire weight by merely placing
her hands over those of two of the phy-
sicians and apparently not using
strength enough to crush a fly. She
also placed her hand against a chair
held by a well known insurance agent
and it could not be placed upon the floor.
Her power of resistence was communi-
cated to a young boy and he could not
be lifted from the floor. Mrs. Abbott’s
power, or whatever it may be called,
was truly wonderful as well as bafliing
tn the physicians and newspaper men.
