HOW SHE DOES TT.
Mrs. Eva Fay and Her Surprising
Power

The latest sensation is Mrs. Eva Fay.
who just now has a lot of people in this
city guessing as to just how she does 1t.
| What she seems to do Is to turn the human
brain Inside out and describe its thoughts
as accurately If they were someth ng
that could be seen and touched. Mrs. Fay
Is at local theater, and from the stage
she calls the names and replies to the I'M
spoken queries of persons in the audience
with a promptness and correctness that Is
surprising.
Some of the unspoken questions and open
answers reveal sorrows and troubles, and
some are funny. At one performance Mrs.
Fay gave one woman information that
brought on Mysteries. At another Mrs
Fay announced Mrs. BLANK maming a
well-known man in the AUDIENCE wants
to know how long he will have to pay the
life insurance on Mrs X. Mr.. Blank Mrs
X. Is your mother-in-law, and you will
nave to pay the premiums for many
years. All of which shows that you want
TO be sure that the questions you ask Mrs.
Fay are such that you are willing to have
answered right out in public.
Just how Mrs. Fay does all this Is the
question. Either 1t is trick or 1t is re-
markabie development Of a power of a tee-
pathic nature. You pay your money and
you take your choice. Mrs Fay herself
ought to know which it is. Just So Here
is what Mrs. Fay said to Star reporter
Il was born in Simla, O city in northern
Hindostan, near the Himalayas where the
astral force Is exercised to great extent
by the mahatma and the yogi. One of my
close ancestors WAS a mahatma and l am
descended from several of the yogi. And
by the way the term mahatma is on that
has fallen into great abuse. especially in
this country as the majority of people are
not familiar with the fact that mahatma
Is strictly male term and cannot be ap-
piled to the gentler sex any more than you
could say female rooster" "he mare"
or lady man." The use Of this title of
mahatma by some of the Irresponsible ia
kris and cheap charlatans. who are disport-
ing themselves about the country as seer
ton In clubbing themselves the flair mahat-
ma or the white mahatma," is ridiculous
and absurd.
THE possession of this remarkable power
which consists of being able to separate
the astral body from the material form and
send 1t into the past or future at will Is
usually passed down from generation to
generation. and I presume that I inherited
1t IN natural succession from my ancestors
l believe that am one of the first women
to inherit this power of separating my as
trial body and transmitting 1t through
space, regardless of considerations of time
In the great wars which the British have
had with the Indians throughout Hindostan,
this power of transmission of the astral
body was used with very disastrous effects.
Movements of the British army were known
all over the country simultaneously with
the formation of the plans by the British
officers. Spies were suspected, but the ut
most care and secrecy were of no avail. No
explanation could be made of the remarka-
BILE transmission Of the information, regard
less of the mode IN which the information
was obtained. To this day many of the
officers of the British army believe that it
was by a transmission of thought, a stimuli
taneous conception of thought in two
minds, miles apart. But l believe 1t was
simply living practical demonstration Of
the experiments which l. in a crude way
show in my exhibitions. The mahatma and
the yogi were infallible and confident in
themselves where I advance with but timid
steps. though with growing confidence every
season 1 do not claim that / have this
power, but / have studied it for years and
wears under the tutelage of my relatives
and honorable ancestors in Hindostan. So
now YOU know all about it and if anybody
asks you how Mrs. Fay does 1t you can
tell Them
