WllMdh |. ONNdNt dutAOA4 TOAA At--s theosophist and general student of all that is odd, now announces that he has received by means of automatic writ ing, from 0 very well-known spirit, the information that every hvingpersonhas what is called the sixth sense. mother words, we are all mediums, contrary to the general suppcsition. even among the adyanced disciples of spirituahsma
 The message CT communication is given to the world through Editor Stood, who, for tbe fine being. Is an- der the guidance of this feminine con trol the real author Of the statements being known as Julia" Her mes sages have been coming at intervals for five years, and among the students of the occult are regarded as absolutely true That is why MT. Stead lays so much importance upon them. It is for this reason he holds that the com munication between the inhabitants of the world and those who have passed away can be much moro free if only people will have it that way. In the message Julia says:
 What 1 have to tell you is that all those who really wish 10 have the sixth sense, or whatever you may choose to term it, so developed that they can at will become senslbly or to their senses cognizant of the reality of the existence of the beings who encompass them about, can acquire the gift CT faculty if they will but adapt themselves to the laws of the region into which they wish to penetrate. tis potentiality of the universal human race. Nor is 1t only human. Many animals have the oper eye. They see when their owners are blind. But you can see If you choose. It rests with ourselves.
 There is no short cut to the sixth sense. There may De something like it in mesmerism and hypnotism. but that is not at all what mean. What Is possible is for every child or man to become what you call normaSy clair- voyant-that is, for anyone to possess himself of the power of seeing and hear ing, az plainly as he sees and hears
 
 and voices that surround him-
 ''The power is one that ought to t.e under control. There NH ba pnlg harm sior if you d6 not shut st viii ths csasr1xEnpt age Imagine the mi4- chief that would hsppen If when life and death hung on the absolute con eentration of oil faculties on the sub feet Immediately before you. f at the supreme moment yon were 10 see the whole phaDtGsnarori8 of bordeFlan6 pass between you and the point oi ex- elusive interest If you cannot control your sixth sense you had better not acquire it. II Is much better to do with out it than to be controlled by 1t
 "You should have the sense at com mand when you need it, as you have your microscope or your telescope But. better have neither If you are to be compuisoriiy doomed at other will than yours to interrupt the work Of life by spectacle of the infinitely lit- tle or the infinitely remote. Man ehould always be master of his senses. especially of the sixth sense, as 1t is called"
 In her further statements to Mir. Stead Julia" goes on to say that thein vestigsHor must always be simple and not be constantly thinking of himself. Tn other words, ,self-consciousness must be avoided, or 1t will play havoc with the chances of success. All one's men, tai faculties are needed. Everything must be examined and tested without prejudice and without partiahty. Noth- ing can be achieved without time and patience.
 The first thing 10 be done to see the invisible ones, "Julia" says, is to be very still and to wait When quite still and passive, close your eyes and think of the one whom you wish to see. If 1t is friend still alive in the body it will help you If at 4he same time, although that is not essential, he or she is also passive and alone When you have two spirits in accord, both seeking the same thing, the difficulties are less. But you must be agreed in heart and soul f you could keep the concentrated quiet attention for u longer period than five minutes without becoming tired, then you had better do 80. At no time, how ever, force yourself. for strain means failure.
 If in this way. Julia" declares, one succeeds in acquiring success, 1t is ac- quired forever. There will be no more parting between the one who has gained his object and the spirit world. The greatest danger is that the sixth sense may control the individual in stead of being in itself controlsed.-N. Y. Herald.
