LONDON, Sept. PA series Of
remarkable experiences in mental
telepathy is being contributed by
Englishmen to a discussion now
proceeding in the London newspa-
pers as to whether the human race
is developing a sixth sense in the
form of wireless te1egraphy of the
brain.
Hundreds of startling incidents
are related and the widespread abil-
ity of people to foretell circum-
stances affecting themselves is be-
lieved by London doctors to indi-
cate that evolution is developing
mankind into race of soothsayers.
George r. Sims, a well known
writer, says that he dreamt his
sister was standing at his bedside
and told him someone was dead.
The next day his sister called at his
house and told him his brother-in-
law had died during the night.
Last year Mr.. Sims was in Lau-
same with his wife. They were to
depart for Chamounix and the night
before they left Mrs. Sims dreamt
that when they got to Chamounix
her husband would receive a black
bordered envelope announcing the
death of someone. After their ar
rival at Chamounix no letter came,
but in its place telegram announc-
ing that Mr.. Sims nephew had been
drowned the previous day.
The Rev. Prebendary Granville
declares that on three nights he
dreamt that newly constructed
vault in the graveyard of his church
had become flooded and that the
| collins in the vault were floating
about on the water. He ordered the
| sexton to investigate, and there was
discovered an exact fulfillment of
his dream.
Another man while i'll dreamt that
| his doctor called on him and said,
would you like to go for a drive
with me?" The patient dreamt that
he went, and in the course of the
drive the doctor said, II would like
to take you back to lunch, but I'M
fortunately we have only cold NUT
ton, which would hardly do for an
invalid, would it?" Two days after
the doctor called, invited the patient
to go driving, and on the way home
made the same remark about liking
to take the invalid home to lunch
but being debarred by the cold NUT
ton.
B. H. Sherard says while he was
in France several years ago he was
impelled by some mysterious force
to visit an old friend of his, Pro
fessor Femme, Russian revolution
ist When he arrived at the place
where Femme lived he was told the
man had just died.
Some time later, while walking
along one of the Partisan streets, a
thought came to him that it was mr.
gent that he call on his friend. AL
phonse Daudet. He arrived at Dau-
det's house, put his hand on the
door bell to ring it, but changed his
mind and walked away. The next
day the newspapers announced Dau-
diets death. He had died almost at
the very minute when Sherard
grasped the door bell.
Recently, while engaged on GER
tain memoirs of his life in Paris.
Sherard had written about his ac-
quaintance with VIM. Bouguereau
the painter. He wrote of him as
dead, when suddenly the question
presented itself to him whether
Bourguereau was really dead. He
could not remember definitely. and
put the matter by until next day.
The next morning the papers had
the death notice of the great paint
er, who had passed away the day
before.
lnnumerable other incidents sim
liar to these are being vouched for
by persons of prominence, and they
are thus explained by DR.. McNa-
mara, well known London physi
clan:
Physiology teaches that when
ever a nerve is stimulated or when
ever a muscle contracts an electric
impulse flashes along the nerve and
through the muscle So, also, when
thought passes through the brain
