The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-10-25

great an interest was manifested about
two years ago-and who-like the
famous healer, Franz Schlatter, sud
denly disappeared from view-has been
discovered by a New York newspaper
correspondent at Battle Creek, Mich.
Being questioned as to the motive of
her withdrawal from public attention,
she produced huge packages of letters,
some Of which were from the most re-
mote parts Of the world. Pointing to
this mass of correspondence she said:
eff it were only letters, we might have
been able to continue our work, but
when the people knew where to find u.s.
we were overwhelmed, and as many
came long distances on purpose to see
me, I did not have the heart to refuse
to meet them and that left no time for
the further development Of my facul-
ties. We, therefore, decided to avoid all
publicity for year"
Ella has many letters furnishing
proof that she has done truly marvel
GUS psychic work. Some Of the best
known writer's, whose stories hinge on
psychic, occult and hypnotic subjects.
say she is the living embodiment of
their heroines.
Ella says: "A great deal of nom
sense has been written about the harm
full effect produced upon individuals
who are frequently put into the mag
netic Sleep" She asserts most en-
phatically that before her development
as psyche she was in very poor
health and several times near death.
That ever since the beginning of her
pshcyic development she has continued
to grow healthier and stronger, and,
she continued:f"If any little thing does
happen to all me, I am put to sleep
and IN ten minutes the worst pain that
can come to me is gone''
Being asked If she did not consider
her experiences very wonderful, she
smiled and said: 81 presume they do
seem wonderful to those who have no
knowledge Of these things, but to us
all that is perfectly natural. If people
knew more about nature and their own
higher self they would be much better
of-both physically and mentally"
Eliza stoutly maintains that there is
nothing supernatural-that what is
considered so Is as natural as all else
when the laws governing certain So
called phenomena are understood.
There appears to be no limit to her
power in any direction, and her psychic
double Is projected to any place. no
matter how great the distance. with as
much facility as her physical body
would go on short errand; but her
favorite work while in the condition
OF induced somnambulism, or as she in
sists 1t shall be called, "psychoma," is
TO make examinations of the living hu-
man structure and especially the brain.
Ella is petite and very pretty. and
looks the ideal psyche She is well ed11
cared ana quite musician and artist.
ana converses with modesty but un-
mlstakable force of conviction upon
all topics.
The man who would be called her
master by students of the occult. but
VINO refuses the application of that
term to himself. is a remarkable in
dividual. Tall, with the figure of an
athlete, as agile as a wild animal. no
one could form any estimate of his
age. He has given ample evidence of
his power and knowledge, but wonder
full as his work is, there is no show
or mystery and no one could possibly
be more natural and clear.
He says, when people return to
nature they will regain what they have
lost physically, mentally and spirit
ually, and discover that the most
potent forces are controlled by simple
laws, and when those are understood
there Is no occasion for troublesome
thoughts about health, age or any,
thing else"
And again. THE so-called civilized
world is. more than all else, suffering
from estrangement from nature.
Science has overreached its mark, and

entirely overlooked in the mad search
for artificial and complicated expe-
clients to obtain results where the COM
plete attainment Of such desired re-
suits can be had only through the
proper employment of very simple, but
all-pOwerful natural forces. These
forces have been lost sight Of by the
millions whose thoughts are regulated
by the few. who do their thinking for
them. These professional thinkers are
now, however. becoming conscious of
a general awakening, and are in a |
quandary what best to do in the evi-

ignorance of the simple natural powers |
that will yield much desired results
which science has so long promised and |
never prOduced.-or to acknowledge !
candidly that they really do know
something but are in great terror of |
seeing the masses arrive at an under |
