The management' of the Elsi nore theater Invites local athletes and strong men to match their strength against the power of Re- igta. Local scientists are likewise invited to witness the demonstra tion, and it may be possible that in the city of Salem the solution of the mysterious problems that bas baffled leaders of science elsewhere may be solved. Many and varied are the ans wers to the problem; "How does she do It?"' Some investigators of Resists Jr., have affirmed that the power that: pulls Reelsta to the floor is electrical of magnetic, but with every appliance known to science, these investigators have sought for electrical and magnetic forces in vain. It has 'been claimed by some that the force is muscular and thr (eat performed by clever muscular manipulation. Even the men who claim this admit that a person cannot exercise muscular force to keep the body from being lifted from the earth. Others arfue that if muscular power is used it would at once fchow on the scales. Bnt to all ap pearances, under the touch of Re sista Jr., weight becomes annihil ated and 1 ounces cease to be one pound.

(AP) Captain John Stege, fired from the police department a year ago when he was found guilty of a 30-year-old murder charge, returned to the force tonight with the full rating of his old powers.
