! Work Opened Up Through Feats Of
Little Beulah Miller.
Beulah Miller. THE Girl with the X
lRay Eyes, who recently returned
from this city to her home in Warren
| II. l., left behind her a couple of hun
| dred persons who are trying to figure
out 'how she does it."
| Does what?
| Why, tells what card you have pick
| ed oGt of the deck when you don
| even know ii yourself; tells you wha'
article it is that you have concealed
! about your person: tells you the lni-
| tials that are engraved upon your
watch when she doesn't know your
name: tells you your exact age tne
matter how much older or younger
/ you may appear; finds hidden articies
and does many other wonderful thinss
OF course you'll say right off, trick
| cry" But remember, first Beulan Is
| Only Il years old. And again, most
| OF the persons who saw her remarkapie
| feats in her stay here last week took
! particular pains to see that trlckers
was not possible.
No less an authority than Dr. Johh
b Quackenbos. eminent hyphotist ana
psychic Investigator, had TO adillt Una
he was utterly amazed by the oapsisii
looking Beulah. and that during an m
| vestigation of her which he eohoue'. :.
| ed there vas no possible chance OIL
fraud.
"eaHere is a true case of X-ray vision.
and is remarkable in many ways, ne
said. Il dc not recall ever having reaa
abont such case, much less observed
one. and | have tested great many
so-called psyehics and ultra norman
human beings in my time
One of the first tests to which Beuiah
was nut after visiting Dr. Qaackeh-
hos.s office tand it must be remempet-
ea that she had never been there pc
fore and knew no one in the place eN-
cent her sister, Gladys, who was win
how was to tell, if she could, the mi
tiaIs which were interviewer on ti'e
hack of a small gold watch worn W
side the waist of the physician olics
nurse. The doctor, of course, as "ti'
as the nurse, knew the initials. nnt no
one else of half a dozen persons III the
room did.
Now. Beulah doesn't go into trance
or anytring of that stort. She just
closes her tyes. leans back her heaa

seos by her own uniettered eXplaha- i
tin, If her powers, Just "t,oat' up IN
front of her.
.srhe first letter is an e. she SAID,
"and can see two more letters, pu'
can't quite make theh OUT s.s'

The child apparently works WIN

Cd she was told in this instance that

initials were f. r. II.
.rhe error in the case OF the secoIie

nsvchic investigators, that Beuian uiu

would have got this letter, Tor potsi
