For the past eight months this country
has been puzzled and interested by one
OF the most remarkable and gifted minds
Of the civilized world. Professor Alex J.
McIvor Tyndall, the greatest living
the professors tour IN America be has
been visited by thousands upon thous-
ands OF people. Many Of our most prom.
inent statesmen, judges, lawyers, doctors,
ministers and business men have con-
suited him. and have been convinced Of
ssances at the opera houses throughout
the Union be has illustrated his powers
OF telspatby, clairvoyance and by pnotism
before large and influential audiences,
who marvel greatly ut fsats verging ON
the miraculous.

nineteenth century. In this age any.

hundred years ago. instead Of sumptuous
fare and generous patronage. the profess

ducking stool. Every pulpit would have
Numbered against him. People who
passed him on the street would have
ssssdfastly looked tie other way,l ct they
should be affected bv the "svil eye."
Fasting and stripes would have besn his
portion and the jail his reward. But to-

reporter called on Professor Tyndall at
his parlors at Hotel Ramona, and wit
messed many remarkable tests of clair
voyant power, all Of which were beyond
explanation. Without doubt the mystic
has n cinch on the future.
All day yesterday and up to the time
Of going to press Professor Tyndall was
busily engaged with his numerous eli
ents. He must have had at least We
hundred visitors nince Monday morning,
and all his tests have been pronounced
wonderful as we'll as convincing. 1t is
hoped that Cyndall will rive his cele-
publ exhibitions in Los Angeles be-

ested in matters of this kind. He would
Rave the usual packed houses. and the
seating capacity of our thtaters would

this strangely gifted and world. favored
genius.
