HER BROTHERS DEATH. II
a Curious Circumstance Indicating
Mental TslepnthY.

a Curious Circumstance Indicating
Mental TeIepathy.
A curious circumstance that may
be looked upon us o confirmation oil
mental telepathy took place in New
Ofleaus receiitly In q family Of i'm
portance in the history of the state.
This family numbers among its MEM
bers lady and her twin brother. n
young man who for the past few
years has been in business in New
Zealand, but who has been expected
home on visit to his sister.
One evening lately the lady was
sitting surrounded by friends, when
all ut once she gave a piercing cry.
and, placing her hand to bar side,
fell fainting to the floor. On rovis
ing she declared that she had been
suddenly stabbed just above the heart
and under the left arm, indicating
the spots. She was assured that she
was laboring under the purest i'm
agination, but was hard to convince
that this was the case. so plainly
had sho felt the knife cntor the body.
That night 4 little daughter Vas
born to her. and the child was found
to be marked on the places indicated
by the mother as the wounds she had
imagined. The marks on the child
looked as II they might be the cica-
trix OF old knife wounds, The next
day q cablegram was received frem
the friends OF the twin brother, in
New Zealand informing his sister
that he had been stabbed to death
by native in quarrel. and the
date given of the young mans death
was that of the night when his sister
had felt the pang of knife entering
her body.
She prevailed upon her husband to
inquire by cable where her brothers
murderer had struck him, and to
complete the coincidence. learned
that he had been stabbed twice, once
above tho heart and again under the
left arm. She is convinced that
through her affinity with her brother
she felt his death even as he re-
ceived it.
