DREAMS THAT CAME TRUE.
Scientists Tells Of Premonitory
Visions That Come to Pass.

>>NN~
Premonitory dreams are Scotfed at
BY the sceptic of matters psychic, but
nevertheless some of the visions o1
this kind are related as truth by men
of science and research. Camille
Flammarion, the noted astronomer.
in his book, The Unknown, tells
the following:
During certain summer one OF
nv sisters had gone with her husband
and her children to live in the little
town of Nogent (Haute-Narne3 my
father had accompanied them and my
mother remained in Paris. AL the
children were in good health and no
one felt any uneasineSs IN regard TO
them. Ny mother dreamed that she
received letter from my father in
which she read this sentence: l am
the bearer OF sad piece of news: lit
tie Henri has just died in convulslons.
with hardly any previous illness. My
mother, on awakening. said to herself:
1T is nothing but dream; it is all
imagination and deception. a week
afterwards a letter from my father
contained precisely this very phrase.
Ny poor sister had just lost her young
est child in consequence Of conrul-
sionS.
NV oldest brother, Emile Zipelius,
an artist, died on September l6. 1868,
25 years Of age, he was drowned while
bathing in the Moselle. He lived in
Paris, but he was then visiting his
parents at Pompey, near Nancy. My
mother had dreamed twice, OF wide
intervals, that this son would be
drowned.
when the person charged to bear
the terrible news to his parents came
to inform them my mother, feeling
sure that he came to announce some
misfortune. first asked could it be
ANYTHING about an absent daughter.
from whom she had no news for sew
eral days. When he told her that it
was nothing about her daughter. she
said: Don't tell, me, then. ! know
what it is.-My son is drowned. We
had letter from him that same day.
so that nothing could have led us to
foreSee such catastrophe.
Ny brother himself had said to his
concierge a short time before: II
any night DO not come home go the
next day to the morgue and look for
me. l have a presentinent that :
shall die in the water.
My parents LIVED in the small
town of Montigny le-Roi (Haute-
Marne.) l had begun my studies at
Langres, and they had decided to
leave the country FOR the capital, ac-
tuated, above all, by the desire to
open to their children the most prom
ising career. A fortnight before their
departure my mother dreamed that
she had arrived in Paris and she had
crossed to wide streets and reached a
canal, across which there was az ele-
vated bridge. Some little time after
her actual arrival in Paris she went to
pay visit to one Of her relatives who
lived in the Rue Fontaine-au- Rol, in
tue Faubourg du Temple, and, upon
reaching the canal, she was much
surprised to recognize the bridge, the
quay, the whole appearance Of the
:,eighborhood, Of which 1t was impos-
sible that she could have any knoWl-
edge either by means Of pictures OF in
any other way.
This dream is very difficult to ex-
plain. 1t would seem to prove that
the mind is able to see at distance,
and during the night, details which
conform by day to the image remain
ing in the brain. This, however, is
hard to believe"
