The reporter inquired of Dr. Wyman
whether he or other members of the Psychic
Research society believed in the power of
provision or foreknowledge sometimes at
tributed to certain peculiarly gifted per-
sons, and whether he believed that fore
warnings and prophecies were ever con-
veyed to mortal intelligence through the
medium Of dreams and visions.
'.As to that" he replied, II can state that
many prophecies have been made to ME
during the past 20 years through several
different psychics, nearly all of which have
been fulfilled almost to the letter.
II have personally known Of friends
whose lives have been saved by obeying the
intuitions or warnings given to them i'm
Professionally. Others were saved from acct
dent and some from terrible deaths by rail-
road and steamboat disasters by hearing a
voice or by being warned through advice
given to them by psychics, which babe
them beware taking journey on certain
day by a special train or steamer.
"Many well authenticated cases are on
record where these warnings were not bead-
ed, and accidents, disasters and deaths have
occurred in fulfllment of the predictions
made.
"The same thing is true of dreams and
visions. Perhaps one of the most interest
ing is connected with the assassination of
our martyred president, Abraham Lincoln
The facts are these, as related to Mrs. Lin
coin and other friends present at the time
by Mr.. Lincoln himself:

"Had the president, his wife and friends
needed the warning his life might have
been spared. The realm of psychology,

crowded to repletion with valuable discov.

attention Of all progressive and liberal
thinkers, because the study of these occult
