HUMAN SALAMANDER
MARVELLOUS PSYCHIC POWER is
DISPLAYED BY MECHANIC.
Feats of Fred e. Foskett Are lnves,
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 Will
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 room before 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 a flat
wick, a pan and several quarts of al
cohol. According to the reports OF
those present, Foskett succeeded in
every test.
Before beginning the test Foskett
took from ~ TO 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

Proper Admixture Of the Lima Beans
and Corn.

Allow one-third the quantity of lima
beans that you do of corn. Put the
corn In a colander and let a little hot
water run over it for a moment, then
cut the corn from the cob, scraping
out all the juice possible, but taking
care not to get any of the cob. Shell
the beans and fill a sterilized can with
the corn and beans, working down as
compactly as possible until the jar is
filed to within an inch of the top. For
every quart jar dissolve teaspoonful
of salt in three-quarters of a pint Of
lukewarm water, and pour over the
vegetables. Adjust the lid OF the
jar without the rubber) part way,
and set in boiler of lukewarm water,
not allowing the jars to touch each
other or the bottom of the boiler. Use
rack for the latter and coils Of rope
to prevent the jars touching. Have
the water in the boiler deep enough
to cover the jars three-quarters of
their height. Put on the boiler lid
and steam three hours. Take out the
cans, work down the vegetables and
fill up with more boiling salt water,
then slowly screw on the lid. Return
to the boiler, turn in enough more hot
water to completely cover the jars and
steam another hour. Take out, screw
tighter. If possible, and when cool put
in dark place.

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
1t 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 1t
was 80 startling that we, l am afraid,
lost sight of the test conditions, and
we have asked him to appear before
us again. 1t 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 who
examined him discredit the hypnotic
theory. They believe he has some la,
tent psychic force that never has been
studied.
1t is intimated that the secret lies
in taking the deep rhythmic breaths,
which, it is declared, is the foundation
of the development of the power
taught in India and the orient CEN
turtles ago. BY certain methods of
breathing. it is taught by the ancients
that in solitude and fasting the pow
er of handling fire, receiving messages
from astral bodies and other phenom-
ena can be accomplished.
Prescott F. Hall, fthe American
Society Of Physical Research, said he
was soon to prepare a report for a
scientific publication. "Foskett's pow
err" said Mr.. Prescott lis not hyp
motto and it is power well known in
the orient, where fire handling is done
extensively. 1t used to be test to
see whether man was guilty or 9th
erwise of a misdemeanor; if he took
the fire test and was not burned, he
was considered innocent; if he was
burned he had to suffer the punish
ment."
