GIVES HIS VIEWS
ON THIS AND KIN
DRIED SUBJECTS
THE MIND IL \ CASTL- IN WHICH
NO PERSON MAY PENE-
TRATE.

Keller. the famous magician. was
questioned recently regarding his
views in mind reading and other APP
parently supernatural experiences
Mr.. Keller said: There is no such
thing as mind reading. Sensational
drives through crowded streets in
search Of hidden objects are based
on the natural principle that person
cannot concentrate his or her mind
on the location of a given subject

This sort of mind reading is muscle
reading. Bishops feats were based
on such principles. | do believe,

festations of II are so numerous as
to compel belief. But telepathy is

NO SUCH THING AS MIND
READING, SAYS KELLAR.

II is very painful to Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth and myself that this sub
ject should be constantly brought

would not speak at all were IL not
that we owe duty to many COM
