FELL HIS PRESENCE.

soribed by John Muir.

eurIous instance Of TeIepathy De-
Seribsd by John Muir.
John Muir. IN hts book. my First
hummer In the Sierras," relates a Gu
fious instance Of teleDathy. He spent
the summer Of 1869 in the beautiful
wilderness around the Yosemite valley.
One day he was busily sketching on
the North Dome, when suddenly be
became possessed with the notion that
his friend Professor J. d. Butler of
the University Of Wisconsin was be-
low him In the valley. He jumped up,
full OF the idea of meeting him, being
almost as much startled as II some
D had Unexpectedly touched him aud
made him look up. Instantly he went
running down the slope and along the
brink Of the valley. looking for a way
to the bottom. feeling drawn irresisH-
bly,.
Gradually his common sense con.
vinced him that he could not possibly
reach the hotel until after everybody
would be asleep for the night. He
therefore compelled himself to stop,
but the next day he went into the
valley and found that Professor But
Ter had arrived the evening before,
unexpected by anybody. He had been
four or Eve miles distant at the mo
ment when Mr.. Muir was so suddenly
apprised Of bis presence.
HE had Just entered the valley by
way of the Coulterville TRAIL" say
the author. "and was coming past FL
Captain when his presence struck me.
Had he then looked toward the North
Dome with a good glass he might have
seen me Jump up from my work and
run toward him. This seems the one
we'll defined marvel of my life Of the
kind called supernatural"

The s-ummsrlssn Year.


The year 1916 was called the "yeaP
without a summer" Spring came that
year, but in its faintest form snow,
cold rains and winds were incessant.
II was the LIST OF June before the tirst
left the ground. The farmers planted
their crops, but the seed would hardly
sprout and when they came to the sur.
face there was not heat enough to
make the frail plants grow. 1t is re-
corded that during the month OF June
birds froze to death in the woods and
fields. Small fruits, such rs there
were, rotted on the stem, there being
no birds to eat them. But little corn
matured. Only In sheltered spots were
good sized roasting ears to be found.
Frosts prevailed every month in the
year and almost daily. The people
after repeated hopes of a change for
the better settled down almost in de.
spair. The like Of 1t was never known
in the country before and, fortunately.
has never been repeated.-New York
