Years ago there appeared i'll Il week

on Brain Wave I rememer the
story distinctly A young wife sitting
in her boudoir one wet day heard her
husband-who had gone out in the
mOrning-return to the house. hang up
his overcoat in the hall, put his UNI
brelle in the stand, and afterwaru saw
him enter the room where she was
sitting With her little girl Of or s,
stand by the fire for a minute and
finally leave without speaking, al
though she had addressed some re-
marks to him, says Il writer in the Pail
Mall Budget. An hour or two later
she heard her husband enter the house
for the second time, as she believed,
and saw him go through the same ac
tons as she had already witnessed.
On being questioned her husband
denied having previously returned to
the house. His wife and child both
having been witnesses to his first
appearance, the former naturally
pressed him to explain, and the only
explanation that he could offer was
that his apparent return on the first
occasion was the result of q thought
or intent of which he was distinctly
conscious as he sat in the courthouse,
where he was acting as magistrate.

are unaware of it until it is suddenly
evolved. In the following story the
force was applied to thought-cOmmunl-
cation without apparition of any kind.
This power Of thought-communication
has been much called in question of
late. A friend of mine, staying at one
time in hotel at Nice, was surprised
by a lady, with whom she was very
slightly acquainted, requesting her to
come to her room, as she wished to
speak to her. My friend, Nine. L,
consented, and when they were alone
Nine. b turned to my friend and said:
81 don't know if you are aware of the
power you possess. With your help l
could obtain extraordinary results To
prove this, are you willing to try some
experiments" Nine. L answered in
the affirmative Nine B-then darken-
ed the room, placed herself at Il table,
put a sheet of paper before her and
took pencil in her hand.
"Now," she said, twill you stand be-
hind me, place your hands on my
spine and ask a question mentally?
1 will reply to that question:
Nine. l. was at this time anxious
about a friend of hers who had sent
in his papers to the authorities at
Rome. with view to obtaining an
official appointment then vacant. Nine.
l. determined to send n mental tele-
gram on this subject. Therefore; with
her hands on Nine. BIS spine she
wired, in her brain, The following
message:
'Have the papers of NJ. F. been
| favoiabIy received and is his success
probable?"
| Nine. B began moving the pencil
vaguely on the paper, and Mme.L1-
was conscious Of a jerky movement OF
Nine. BIS body, as if she were work
ing a telegraph machine. After few
moments Nine. b began writing. and
! after q little while handed the paper
to Nine. L. On it were these words:
''Rome. The papers have been received.
There is some irregularity about them
and some steps will have to be taken
in the matter"
This paper my friend still possesses.
In course of conversation Nine. r. in
quired if she had the power at dis
lance of sending Nine. B thought
telegram.
Certainly" Nine. B replied, "and
YOU can try it if you like. You are
leaving Nice. Send me q message at a
certain fixed hour on q certain day and
[ will write and tell you what it was. -
This was arranged. Later on my
friend went to Lyons, whence she had
to proceed to Marseilles. At Lyons
she was to meet her daughter, who did
not appear at the time she was expect
ed and consequently Nine. T. was
nervous and anxious and was not
thinking in the least of the message
she had promised to send. At last
Nine. LIS daughter came. and they
hurried to the restaurant that Nine
T. might dine with before starting
for Marseilles Suddenly at her dinner
Nine. l. looked up at a clock which
was opposite to her and saw that it
was S:45, the time fixed upon for send
ing the mental telegram. Instantly
she sent it in these words: ''My child
has come. She is quite well. I am now
eating nv dinner" Some days after.

Nine. b, saying: con such a day
about s:45 I received your message
MY child has come She is quite well
