The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-01-10

One of the remaining tasks for TWEEN
tieth century research is the solving OF
the problem of provision or mental telepa-
thy.
| have no patience with the modern
practice of alleged spiritual communica-
ton, table-tapping and such rot, but men
tai telepathy is true science. That
human minds are able to communicate
with each other without spoken word or
even personal presence has been proven
time and again. l doubt If there is a
person in Birmingham but that could give
an experience in proof of this assertion.
We have the record of experiences of
men and women who are thoroughly re-
liable that, while those experiences cannot
be explained, prove the truth that pre-
vision is q fact.
The human mind is a matter-a sub
stace-that reaches beyond the brain cells
of the person and touches that OF other
persons 1t is AN invisible substance just
as the human soul is invisible, but we
can feel it-almost grasp 1t.
When we are a little further advanced
In the science of mental philosophy We
may be able to analyze the mystery and
perhaps be able to command this wonder
full power that we certainly possess.
The best argument that can be made
on any subject is the actual experiences
of men and women.
A well known actor was engaged In an
afternoon rehearsal. At o'clock he was
seized with an nexplainable dread. His
father in distant city came into his
mind and he was unable to shake the
thought from him. The spirit OF his
father was calling him and he had no
further control of his faculties. He had
to give up the rehearsal and was carried
to his hotel in an exhausted condition. He
nor his physician were able to diagnose
the case. He could not explain his feel
ing.
A telegram received a few hours later
announcing the death of his father at 3
o'clock explained the matter
Ex-United States Senator Charles 4.
Towne gives a similar experience. He
says that he was awakened one night by
the uncomfortable sobbing of his wife.
When she was able to speak she said
that she had just witnessed the death of
a schoolmate in a distant city. She de-
scribed the death-bed scene and gave the
names of the persons present and told
what was said. Senator Towne tried to
pacify his wife, telling her that she had
only had a bad dream, and that nothing
would come of 1t, but she was positive
of what she had seen and would not be
consoled Next day the news was re-
ceived that the schoolmate had died dur
ing the night and an investigation proved
that the death scene had been just as de-
scribed by Mrs. Towne.
1t is fact well known to many people
at Huntsville, In this state. that the death
of the late Dr.. Dement, which hap
pened suddenly In that city few years
ago. was announced by an old man living
many miles in the country at the very
hour 1t occurred.
When the old man, whose name have
now forgotten. during a trance of some
sort to which he was subject, announced
that Dr. Dement, was dying and a mo-
ment later that he was dead, neighbors
hurried on horseback to Huntsville to
verify the claim. 1t was found that DR..
Dement, had died just as the old man had
described and at the Identical time.
This story is somewhat traditional,
but ! have it from authority that is re-
liable.
newspaper man now employed in Bir-
mingham was in Chicago a few years
ago on his two weeks vacation. While
walking down one of the principal streets
in that city which he had never visited
before he suddenly recalled an old friend
he had known years before In Texas. The
impression WAS So strong that he could
not shake the man from his mind Why
he should think OF his old friend In this
strange city was inexp lainable. He mad
no reason TO believe that his friend could
be in 1000 miles OF the place. Yet ne
met that identical man fac to face with
In the block.
