Mollie Fancher's Strange Powers.

SOME OF THE EXPLOITS IN MIND READING AS
CRIBED TO THE DYING BROOKLYN WOMAN.
Mollie Fancher, the Brooklyn trance girl, is
dying, and those who have visited her and wit
messed exhibitions Of her strange powers are
telling some of the things they saw. DR.. C. E.
Adamson said that he had visited Miss Fancher
on many occasions. He continued: Il really
believe that Miss Fancher possesses in the
highest degree the perceptivity those fraud
clairvoyants pretend to have. She is a wonder.
She has no definite methods like those swind-
lers. You could take bank check and hold
the reverse side toward her, or in fact shield it
entirely from the view of any one but yourself,
and Mollie would tell you the name of the bank,
the amount and the signature. In the same
way you could read a letter and Mollie would
Immediately reproduce the contents. Mind,
the person testing her would not move the lips
in reading or give any sign or indication by
which she could gain the knowledge she exhib-
tied. But the most peculiar circumstance
about her power was the watch test. / was
present one evening when a gentleman pro-
duced a stem-winding watch and asked Mollie
if she could tell him the time indicated on its
face. The case was closed and she was unable
to give the required information. But the
minute the gentleman opened the case she was
able to tell every minute and second recorded
on the face. He turned the hands around,
looking at the face all the time, and holding
the watch in such position that Molie could
not see it, and she told him every move. The
test explained one thing fully TO every mind
she does not see the object. The person test
ing her does, however, and when it is pictured
in his mind Molle sees it just as plainly as he
does. The object is negative to Mollie, but the
mind on which the object is photographed is
visible to her."
The Rev. DR.. Talmage is one of the Brooklyn
clergymen who have visited Miss Fancher at
various times, but always with an understand
ing that they were not to give account of
her to the world until after her DEATH DIR.
Talmage felt at liberty to say only: The case
will long remain a wonder to scientific men.
All the particulars have been carefully and
trustworthy obtained, and they will be pub
lished at the proper time. She seems to have
the gift Of second sight, and this was tested
daily. The stories innumerable of her
reading of sealed letters, her discernment of
visitors before they came into her room, and Of
all imaginable sorts Of second sight. The ex-
periments were made so numerously and care
fully and by gentlemen of such unassailable
probity that there can be no doubt of their
| genuineness. Within the past two or three
| years she has recovered some of the lost flesh
for she has been little more than a living skele-
ton-and her appearance was much less spec
trail. But her mind-reading power has been
| unimpaired,"
