Away back IN the seventies there
occurred what was known. and Is
siil remembered by many. az the
Ashtabuia disaster"
Before the train pulled out from
Boston I had entoerd the fated sleep
er with the intention OF securing
berths for e lady friend and myself
We had barely taken u seats when
! heard-or thought Z heard-these
words; "A wreck, a wreck; get out Of
this car. get out Of this car"
a AEANhAAAHA II as NAE MAANa NAtaAAA
voice that came TO warn us OF ap-
preaching danger. 1t was a premoni
ton received through impression. The
impression came as words. get ] cam
not say that I actually heard them
1 tclairv0yantiyl and ] am sure that
my friend did not hear them. Sumce
il 70 say ! Needed them. We left the
train, but not until I resorted 10 a lit
tie ruse 70 meet the prejudice Of my
friend. who had nc patience with
what she called my "eccentricities -
lacking better word.
To prevent any anxiety on TIE part
Of her father, at whose request I was
accompanying the daughter. / imme
diately telegraphed him Of our delay
and then, after the train had pulled
out, I took back the little white lie /
had told for the purpose OF saving her
iife-and mine.
She did not believe my premonition
mot then; not until we had passed
safely over that great gully at Ashta-
buia, and she. with a shudder. looked
down into that yawning chasm and
partially retlized what might have
been had It not been for my eccen-
tricites."
As is vel known. not a passenger
escaped from that sleeper; hence the
question naturally arises. why
should you be the only one 10 receive
the warning message9'
am o sure that I was. but am
sure that ! was the only one who
needed.
! am often asked why I did not
war; the Others. Because the warn.
ing would not have been accepted and
! would have been looked upon as a
ht subject for the lunatic asylum. Be.
sides. had the passengers really be. /
Iieved it, there would have been such
an exodus that the railroad officials
would have probably looked me up
and then locked me up for disturb
ing the peace.
During the civil war I was. for q
short time. quite IN while In camp
a comrade called at my tent and 10.
sisted on my going with him I'd his
tent ] told him that vas out OF the
question. He was impelled by an an.
known power (which neither OF us
then understOod) and would not take
no for an answer. He raised me 70
my feet and. with the aid OF another
comrade. / was being helped 10 his
tent which We had not yet reached
when, with a terrible crash. a tree fell

the ground the blanket D O which

Telepathy? I think not. Clairyoy.
ance2 without doubt AIy own sub
jective mind undoubtedly perceived
the danger. but for some u~naccounta
bic reason my objective mind did mol,
get the Impression. My oomrade was
lmpelled 20 act quickly. The only
telepathy was from my subjective
mind to his, but that was after the
danger had been perceived by ms
subjective mind. K was, Ii IS true. a
roundabout way. but the object was
accomplished. It could not have been
