HUNANSALANANDER
MARVELLOUS PSYCHIC POWER IS
DISPLAYED BY MECHANIC.
Feats of Fred E. Foskett Are Inves.
tigated by Prof. William James
of Harvard and Others and
Arouse Wonder.

Boston-The marvellous psychic
power of Fred E. Foskett, a young ma
chinist of Orange, Mass, has attract
ed the attention of Prof. James OF Har'
ward and other leading members OF
the Boston branch of the American
Society of Psychical Research, who
have given him tests.
The first of the tests was held at the
home of Prescott F. Hall. Prof. Viii
liam James and several well-known
physicians were there, and test con
ditions as nearly perfect as possible
were made Foskett was seated in
the center of a room before a small
table. There he performed every feat
of the Hindoo fakir and the Buddhist
adept.
On the table was an ordinary kero-
sene lamp with chimney and fat
wick, a pan and several quarts OF al
coho1 According to the reports OF
those present, Foskett succeeded in
every test.
Before beginning the test Foskett
took from 20 10 80 deep breaths.
The first test was made with ordi.
nary sulphur matches. Foskett lighted
half a dozen, one after the other, hold,
ing them with one hand SO close to the
fingers of the other that the flames
curled around them. He then lighted
the lamp and held his hands above the

wick, while the flames CURED over
them and the SCOT completely black
ened them.
From one of these tests to another
Foskett went, while the scientists held
their breath and watched every motion
until he came to the climax. In this
he poured quart OF alcohol into his
basin, lighted it and then washed his
hands, bathing them for nearly ten
minutes in the burning fluid, washing
it up over his arms and to his face
literally bathing himself in blazing
alcohol That completed the test.
As soon as it was finished the ply
sicians present examined Foskett, and
they could not find the slightest trace
of burn or blister. Foskett told
them that the flames did not give him
the slightest sensation of burning; that
he felt comfortably warm and pleas
ant, and nothing more.
The second tests were made the
next afternoon at the home of Prof.
James in Cambridge, and under the
same conditions as the day before.
Considerable mystery is thrown about
them. Mr.. Hall said they were so
startling that he did not care to dis
cuss them until they had been tried
again Another scientist who was
there said that Foskett performed all
of his experiments of the day before
and then absolutely and positively de
materialized.'
HE seemed to dissolve into thin
air as we watched him. Was gone Al
seconds and then materialized. It
was so startling that we, am afraid
lost sight of the test conditions, and
we have asked him to appear before
us again. It seems unbelievable, but
it certainly seemed so. We hardly
know what to think about it"
Prof. James refuses to talk about
the tests.
According to those who were pres
ent, Foskett seems in a passive state
during the tests, and he says he thinks
of nothing in particular. Those whc
| examined him diseredit the hypnotic
theory. They believe he has some Ia
tent psychic force that never has beer
studied.
1t is intimated that the secret lie,
in taking the deep rhythmic breaths

of the development of the powe

BAD EFFECTS OF ANGER.

there is q flush, and when it disap-

almost painful.
The cause of all this is the excite,

remains unchecked. Perhaps it would
