GIRLS PSYCHIC FEATS
Peculiar Power of a Sioux City
Ga. Student.
TEACHERS AMAzEDATHERABHIT

Anna Christie Miller Reads Minds
and Compels Innnfmate objects to
DO Her Bidding with Ease--Discov-
cry of Her Power Came as Result
of Proficiency In school studies.
Anna Christie Miller, sixteen-year-
old girl OF Sioux City, Ia, attending the
public schools, has within a month or
80 discovered that she has exceptional
psychic ability. says a Sioux City dis
patch.
In addition to describing articles held
before her when she is blindfolded, tell
ing the amount of a handful Of coins
which no one else in the room knew.
but which was later verified, acquiring
because of her peculiar mental qualifi-
cations 100 per cent in all her studies
and thus earning rapid promotion, this
remarkable young girl can make la
BILE dance jig, move across a room
and fall into her lap, send it the oppo-
site direction in the lap Of another per-
son on the opposite side Of the room,
make it stand on one leg, move 1t by
the mere touch of her fingers while a
man sits upon it and do other feats
that have amazed every one.
Miss Miller is a pupil at the Arm
strong school in Sioux City She went
there from Grant Center, Ia, where
her father Is section foreman of rail
way, and obtained employment In the
boarding house Of Mrs. Ella Mahaney.
At this establishment she washes dish
es and does other work to pay for her
board and lodging while she attends
school. Her ambition was to become a
teacher in the public schools. and her
aim In going TO Sioux City was to fit
herself for this avocation. Now. how
ever, Miss Miller is imbued with an
other idea. She has discovered that
she possesses ability along the lines
followed by Anna Eva Fay, the Geor-
gia magnet, and others who have dem
onstrated psychic power.
The girl has been aware Of her pc
culiar powers not much more than a
month. Knowing that she possessed
extraordinary faculties, but not recog-
nizing them as such, she needed an ac-
cident to discover them
The discovery came as the result Of
her proficiency IN her studies. At ev-
cry recitation and in every examina-
tlon her markings were 100. Her teach
ers searched her papers II vain for an

them of the field.
Tor this shrewd guess Ishero was
made a colonel, and, his general hav-

a very responsible position. He was
called the guessing aid, and the gen
eral used him solely for his faculty for

One more guess made Ishero a gen

WASHINGTON. y. G. Feb. o. -
Senator-elect Piles made his first
appearance In the senate chamber
this morning and was warmly
greeted by many OF the members
to whom he was introduced by Sen
ator Ankeuy.
Among the first questions he was
asked was what Washington was
doing today 10 celebrate the birth
day OF the first president. after
whom the state was named.
piles stated openly and in the
strongest terms that he would not
take any hand in the distribution OF
Seattle federal patronage OF any
other patronage OF the state until
he had become a full-fledged sena-
tor on March 4.
lie said that his presence In
Washington at this time was simply
TO get acquainted and had no polit-
ieal significance whatever. He adj
mitted. however. in answer to a
query regarding the Tacoma post
mastershlp that he would interpose
no objection to the nomination Of
Mr. Votaw. and as Aukeny has said
he will make no objection. IL Is con-
fideutly believed that Notaw's
name will be sent 10 the senate by
President Roosevelt

Piles 10 The Stars correspondent
