"Every evening she ascends a slack rope, not hand over hand as you would climb it, but by 'rolling herself up' on her back. It is not a trick--it is an exhibition of sheer physical strength [...] When she arrives at the top of her climb, she makes forty-three consecutive revolutions on the same rope suspended by her right arm."
"This is one of the most perplexing feats of muscular strength ever seen in New York."
