In an experiment / made some year

Chicago and Boston, tho folowin.
conditions are arranged: The partie
sat by appointment, making careful
allowance for the difference in time be
tween the cities. 1t was agreed tina
each should act alternately for fifteel
, minutes as sender and receiver. II
| order to assist concentration, each hat
placed before him Il photograph of the
other upon which he fixed his earnest
attention. With view to establish
ing magnetic relations, each held il
his hand a lock of the other's hair.
Pencil and paper were provided, and q
careful record was made at both ends
OF messages sent and impressions re,
ceived.
The experiment was particularly
successful. Not only was the sub.
stance OF the messages received. but
with a precision that was remarkable.
| had dwelt emphatically upon each
word of my message in Chicago, re.
peating it many times in a low tone
My voice was actually heard in Boston,
as though had been calling through
a telephone. In this case the parties
had been in relation OF operator and
subject in a long series of hypnotic
experiments. lasting many months,
and relations of harmonious vibration
had been well established.
Other experiments were made at
closer range, several between Boston
and New York, and always the sub
stance Of the message was received,
though with varying precision.
Such experiments as these have GER
tainly established as scientific fact
the conclusion that, thought can be
projected to great distances. II may
be definately recognized by the recip-
lent, or its effects produced without
the conscious recognition. The will
of the operator is the projecting force
Time and distance do not appear as
factors.
But there is another phase of tele-
patty which is still less understood
than this we have considered, where
conscious purpose exist in the mind of
the operator. viz, the unconscious
field, in which the thought passes from
one mind to the other at distance,
without intention, and registers itself
in resulting action. This is illustra
ted by the following experience. \

quietly in his room when he felt an
