Ever since the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, the desire of mar,kind to pry into the future has been most pronounced. The North Auckland Times, reporting of the Baldwin's Mahatma Company makes these remarks:—"When a lady appears on the stage, as did Mora, is blindfolded and commences to reveal the thoughts of the audience, describes past scenes, sensible people would like some other explanation than a shrug of the shoulders and a contemptuous'lt's a trick.' If its a trick it is strange that other amuae"jrfcnt caterers do not discover and utilise it. Yet we hear of hardly any competition with the White Mahatma Mystery. Dr Rowe, the genial wizard, did not take long to convince the large audience that he is a past master in the art he practices." Koko, the Japanese lady, is said to perform feats with bright vivaciousness.
