Realising thai her voice was one of mediocrity, ihi asked to be hypno? tized und allowed to sing to the ac? companiment --t the phonograph. lJr. Miller accommodatingly made the ex? periment and the effect was true to I the story of f>u Maurler. Voices e.f well known soprano and I tenor singers were reproduced on the I phonograph yesterday's Aemonatra Con, and to each the yountr girl sang j with perfect . isc. While in the hyp I nntic state s!.. was taken about the spacious amphitheatre of the College ! of Phya'clnns and Surgeons and Intro? duced to the ssembled physicians and scientists' Who were in attendance.
