How do you find business Profess
sor2" Very well, thank you"
You have been here quite a While?"
Yes, since last February"
rs palmistry really a science?"
why Of course"
How long have you been in the pro-
fession?''
Ever since I was 3 years old. I was
taught the science Of palmistry by an
old Hebrew Rabbi. 1 have travelled the
world over and I have had some very
strange experiences in my professional
career with people that I had read.
All 1 have TO do is to get a glimpse Of
a persons hand. and then I know of
what character they are. Do you real
lie that there are no two hands alike?
Also the lines in the hands reveal many
strange incidents of a persons life.
Here is a very peculiar incident that
happened in Salt Lake City a few days
ago. A well dressed gentleman called
at my Office for a reading, and what I
saw in his hand was enough to startle
anybody if they knew how to read
hands. The gentleman came. to this city
from the south and engaged a suite Of
rooms in a leading hotel a few days
ago, and he was waiting for a lady TO
meet him here with whom he became
infatuated. Her home is in San
Francisco, Cal. 1 told him what his
object was in the matter, and he gave
me the credit of it being the truth. He
seemed so well pleased with his read
ing that several days afterwards ne
sent his lady friend to me to have her
hand read and there is. where I made
a grand discovery. It was certainly
low, contemplate plot that was being
Matched to fnveigle the gentleman from
the south into blackmal scheme, but
however, it was nipped in the bud just
in time to save him thousands Of dol
lars and his reputation. He then re-
turned to me after I had read his lady
friends hand, and he wanted to know
more, meaning that if she really cared
for him. Then I revealed everything
to him as it showed in his hand, and
again he seemed to be we'll pleased
with the reading, but in my own heart
l knew that he did not believe me.
But now he is a convinced and more
wise man. He discovered sooner than
he expected that his lady friend showed
her claws and that she was not the
person whom he thought for two years
was honest, and as for his lady friend
she was thunderstruck when I told
her what her scheme was. She at once
went to the hotel and packed her trunk,
with note explaining and thanking
me very much for the great lesson she
was taught, that honesty is the best
policy after all. I could relate incidents,
many of them, by which people have
been benefited by having their hands
read, and it is no more than right that
every person should know their future,
etc. We should not live in the dark, let
the light shine as it was taught to US.

kind, matters not what the trouble
may be, they should have their hands
read. Palmistry was pTacticed in Olden
times. our good book, the Bible, speaks
of it in the book of job, chapter xxxvii,
V. z, 1 read: In the hands Of all men
God placed some signs that they could
thus know their works, and re-
ceive this mark Gods on his forehead
or in his hand"
In Proverbs, chapter iii, V. 16, Length
Of days are in her right hand; riches
and honor in her left"
In 1 Samuel, chapter XVI, Y, IS,
What evil is in my hand?''
"To read the hand and define the
character is to be able to read the Sc
cret books OF nature, that volume whose
pages are human lives, whose covers
are life and death and whose clasp is
that golden thread Of hope that runs
through mems hearts," 1 have the
photos of hands of many prominent peo-
pie that have read, 1 also teach palm
istry, it is not gift, but it is a true
science and as for psychology, that is
also a science, but it takes d great
deal of practice to master it. I have
read over 100000 peoples hands since I
was a boy"
Then the reporter was shown many
testimonials Of some of the leading
people from all over the world by Pro-
fessor Sterling, his Office at 331 South
Main street is very interesting, and it
| is worth a little of any persons time
to visit his Office and see the grand dis
play of hundreds of photos Of hands in
/ full view of noted celebrities and of all
/ classes of people that tread the walks
of life. Professor Sterling has pre-
dicted many true incidents in this city,
also he predicts through psychology
that there viii be a great crash in the
mining market very soon, and that
there will be wars, many of them in
the years of 1902 and 1903, and ne also
| advises the public at large that they
should hold en- to their money, for
( hard times is near at hand, caused by
( the trusts. He also advises that moth
ers and fathers should know what is in
| store for their children. Professor
I Sterling is of a peculiar characteristics,
/ he is very active and speaks very rap
/ idly, and he is an interesting person
] to converse with. he has made Salt
/ Lake City his home and he is here to
/ remain. He is without doubt one of
/ the busiest men in this city.
