NEAR PSYCHIC AGE ALL IS NEW TO HIM

Psychologist Declares That Practical
Results Soon Will Follow Research
Mental Telepathy Will DisPiace

New York-Telegrams, telephones

ter health and longer life, sex deter
mined before birth, and the develop
ment of race OF geniuses-that tnese
and many others will be the practical
results Of the psychological research
now being conducted throughout the
world is the assertion of Floyd VIII
son, psychologist and occultlst OF
New York. Mr.. Wilson. who is the
author of several important works on
psychology and member of both the
New York and London Societies Tor
Psychological Research, believes tnat
the psychic age is at hand and that 1t
is only a question of few years until
practical results will be demonstrated

telephones and letters will be thing
of the past. Mental telepathy Will
take their place. At the present time
comparatively few people are able to
transmit their thoughts to each other
in this manner, but it is within the
possibilities of every one. When we
know more about it, as we assuredly
shall, it will not be necessary to
transmit our thoughts by physical
means Mental telepathy will sup
plant all forms of present communities
ton
And when we stop to consider It,
mental telepathy is no more wonder
full than wireless telegraphy or wire
less telephony. The principle Is prac-
tically the same-space Is annihila-
ted and without physical connection.
THAT our health will be better and
our lease on life longer in the years
to come goes without saying. Poor
health. to a great extent, is due to a
condition of mind. BY thinking health
people will keep in good health. ard
by determining to remain young. or
at least by determining to keep from
getting old, old age will be STAYED off
many years. Of course, people Will
get sick and die, Just as they do to-
day, but illness will be less prevalent
and death will be postponed longer. :
Practically all the progress that
can be made along educational lines
have been made. The progress in the
future will be made in developing our
intuitive faculties"
