HYPERAESTUESIA.

A wonderful power of obtaining in
formation by other than the ordinary
methods Of communication is among
the gifts in which some of these cold
blooded, skeptical scientists evince
faith. They do not believe that every
one possesse it. On the other hand. at
present they are inclined to limit 1t to
comparatively small class. But evil
dence on this point is inadequate. The
matter Is still under investigation. 1t
is suggested on the one hand that in
many. If not all. instances there is only
an exercise Of usual sensibilities eX-
ceptionally sharpened. That sort of
perception is called "hyperaestehesia."
But some OF the facts are thought to
point, on the other hand, to the exist
ence of a distinct faculty, still in rudi-
mentary state, perhaps, and found only

QUEER INSTANCES.

ID. j. Parsons, a physician in Sweet
Springs, Mo-, says he discovered years
ago that he was able to see things mem
tally which had happened many miles
away and years before. He wrote in
1881: while in company with DIR.
I'rotter, of Lexington, Mo, could see
before and near to him a delicate hand,
on which was a dark red kid glove. The
hand was all the time in motion. |
called his attention to it, and he was
much surprised. l told him the hand
had a history, and If he had no objec-
ton 1 would be pleased to know it. He
said: Il was travelling in Canada on
the cars, and one day we ran ua TO a
train that had been wrecked--Ind about

lady lying upon the ground dead. One
hand was naked and one was COW
cred with a dark red kid glove In
stantly upon his uttering the words the
dark red kid glove and the hand had
vanished"
subsequently the DR. Trotter here
mentioned sent a fun account of the
accident and the conversatic; with DIR.
Parsons to on aficer of the Psychical
Research in renly to inquiries.
He corroborated the foregoing story
fully. adding that the gloved hand
made strong impression on him,

These and many other unusual and

at least. the more familiar experiences
Of sleep and dreams (such as perfectly
healthy people may have) and of hys-

that human beings possess various fac
ulties which may be active without
their being aware of it. Hence. few
of the scientists who have studied the
matter carefully have acquired the
habit of distinguishing. in their talk,
between the conscious and the uncon-

"sub-limnal" self, because as they say.

Whether this part of a persons nature

A GERMAN LEADER.
COMES TO STUDY OUR NATIONAL
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
If the Silverites Win America Will Have a
Most Terrible Panic and Farm
ers Will Be Ruined Among
the First.

New York, Sept. S.-The Herald this
morning says: DR.. Theodore Barth,
leader of the liberal party in the Ger
man reichstag, has arrived in New
York on the steamer Havel. He comes
to study the political conditions in this
country and to watch The campaign,
which has a peculiar interest for him
as he has been one of the leading Eu-
ropean advocates of gold monometal-
ism.
II do not come to medGle with your
politics." he said, but to watch this
most interesting presidential campaign
and to learn. The most intense inter-
est is felt in Europe in the American
situation and the desire of all is TO see
an outcome that will bring prosperity
to the United States, for trade rela-
lions are so close that prosperity for
you means prosperity for us. 1 re-
gard the currency question as the vital
one to a country's prosperity. Inter-
national bimetallism has long been
considered in Europe, but it will never
come to pass, think.
81 regard the attempt at bimetallism
by any single nation as absolutely inn
practicable and doubt if, with all the
great commercial nations together, it
could succeed. / do not believe that
free silver coinage would benefit the
agricultural classes in the United
States. Between the time of Mr.,
Bryan's election and the passage OF
any free coinage law at least four
months would elapse and during that
time you would have a panic which
would ruin your agriculturalists.
Mortgages would be foreclosed
loans called in and great suffering
would result. OF course this is only
my opinion. ! am eager to hear the
arguments of the other side"

GOING TO TURKEY.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The cruiser
Cincinnati has been ordered to Tur-
key. This does not affect the cruise
of the Bancroft, that vessel being des-
tined exclusively for duty as guard
ship to the American legation at Con-
tantinople, while the Cincinnati and
other vessels of the squadron are to
remain in Turkish waters outside the
Dardanelles unless circumstances arise
to call for reinforcements and dis
play of naval force.
1t is explained at the navy depart
ment that the orders of the Cincinnati
have been in contemplation for some
time and there is no particular signi-
ficance in their publication at the pres
ent juncture. 1t is also said that it
is the intention of the department to
bring the Marblehead home as soon
as she can be spared from the Medi-
terranean, as the time of great many
men on this station has expired and
it is hoped to gather them all on the
Marblehead for the homeward cruise.

CoNsTANTINOPLE RIOT.

Constantinople, Sept. 3.-The number
of persons killed in Sundays rioting
at Passkein is estimated at two humid
red. The owners of the houses which
were looted in that town are returning
and have succeeded in getting some
of their lost goods returned to them.
Much of the plumber was found in Jew
ish houses. over one thousand per-
sons were massacred in the Psalatra
district, three hunderd Armenians hav-
ing been dragged out of their homes
and murdered by one Khan alone.
Kurdish porters in the custom house
killed their Armenian comrades during
the late rioting and horribly mutilated
their bodies.
Foreign families residing here con-
tinue to hang from their windows flags
of their various nationalities. Baron
De Calico, Austrian Ambassador, has
had several interviews with the sultan
who repeats his assurances that ample
measures have been taken to insure
quiet. The porte will have a large
amount of indemnity to pay to foreign
ers whose houses and offices have been
broken into and looted by the mobs.
The success of the police in regaining
control of this city and maintaining or
der has been rewarded by payment Of
their arrears in wages.
