.Remarkable feats were performed as the .Royal Pavilion, Brighton, by .Professor Eugene do Gyn, in a demonstration of the power of suggestion, autosuggestion, and the art of never forgetting. The ‘Morning Post ’ reports that eight members of the audience were made to sway to the motion of an imaginary boat. Their every action was controlled in a most uncanny way by tho demonstrator. Do Gyn showed wonderful powers of _auto-determina-tion, varying at will his pulse from 40 to 120. His pulse was held by a doctor during the test. Finally De Gyn allowed himself impervious to pain by the perforation of his cheek with a needle, forcing cigarette-smoko through the passage thus made. Do Gyn speaks fifteen modern languages, and memorises words spoken in various tongues by members of the audience.
