Miss Hasse performed before large audiences conducting séances and managed to amass a fortune riding the wave of popularity of esoterica in the late 19th century.

The appended text is illustrated with technical drawings. Several pages of testimonials apparently sent by individuals from all over the Russian empire from Kiev to Harbin close the publication suggesting the great reach of the mediums.
