One member declared that just that week he had seen a very tall,
unmuscular man performing in an acrobatic act at the Orpheum.

Knowing that this was impossible, we offered a large reward to this
member if he were proven right. We sent to the theater and found the
acrobat in question. He had just finished his act and kindly consented
to come over.

He turned out to be a pure Muscular as we had stated. The class member's

really was. High platforms always give this illusion. Furthermore his
partner in the act was of diminutive height and the acrobat looked tall
and slender by contrast.
