In the spring of 1880, a gentleman
left his home ut Jackson, Mich, and
accompanied by IL large, intelligent
dog, went by the Isthmus to California.
In August the man was killed in n
mine at Grass Valley, Cal. Ahundred
and four days altar his masters death,
the dog, reduced to skeleton, crawled
into the back yard of his old home in
Michigan, laid down and died.
An Intelligent spaniel dog was taken
by my neighbor into the country, and
left with n friend thirty-fye miles away.
The direction of the new home was
north from his old home. He was kept
tied lest he should return to his old
home, and after two weeks was taken
about fifteen miles in an easterly direC-
ton to hunt, and turned loose from the
buggy, under the seat of which he had
been kept 4 close prisoner, on purpose
to prevent his observing the country.
Within n few hours he arrived ut his
old home, n distance OF nearly forty
miles, and completed tho third side OF
a triangle, passing through village on
the way which was in the exact line
between the point at which he was
turned loose and his old home. 1t was
young dog, AID had been recently
brought from distant CITY, and had
never been over any portion of the
three sides of the triangle.
To suppose in any OF these cases, and
ten thousand other similar ones, that
there has been series of careful OBJ
servations and definite calculations of
direction is absurd. 1t is clearly "Ihe
Sense OF Direction.
NJ. Cyon has made certain ingenious
researches which seem to prove the ex-
istence of another sense, which he calls
the "Sense of Space"
The discovery has been much dis
cussed by leading specialists in Europe,
among them DR.. Crum Brown and
Prof Groom Robertson. The discOv-
cry is regarded as of the greatest ply
siological Importance.
There is another sense, popu)arly
known as "Cidt1r0ydHcc." Many ami
mails possess it, but We can study ii
most advantageously in NAH.
| have seen anumber of persons who,
with their oyes bandaged with several
handkerchiefs and n shawl, could read
a column in any old newspaper with
out an error, the paper being held be-
hind the readers head.
Brown, the "Mind-Reader,' So
called, who under the management of
Redpath's Lyceum or Lecture Associ-
ations of the country number OF
years performed the feat | have de-
scribed under every possible precau-
tiOn. | have seen more than twenty
persons who were clairvoyant. Every
person Who has an opportunity TO
test clairvoyant finds ii easy to de-
termne with absolute certainty the
genuineness of this eight sense.
1t is possible that the "Sense of Dircc-
tom is one form of what am calling
clairvoyaace.
With hundred of the strongest men
in the medical profession devotine
their lives to the study of the brain and
nerves, it is not at all improbable that
we shall soon have added TO lho eight
senses | have named, the ninth and
tenth, though what they may bo no
mortal can begin to conjecture.
We have now the sense OF Touch,
Taste, Smell, Sight, Hearing, Drec-
ton, Space, and Clairvoyance, with
several back counties to hear from.
