Sixth Sense.
The question Of how far sub-con-
scious mind controls us has aiNays
been great food for thought Emil
nent brain specialists and phsycolo- o.
rists have discussed the subject for
centuries. Which is the Stronger-
our conscious self. or our suo-con-
scious self. In the following article
published in Pictorial Review Tor
April, we find some astonishing IactS
that go to show that we do possess
sixth sense (Sub-conscious mlno) ana
in the shape Of a full -fedged Guar
dian Angel.
sometimes occurrences like these
have the decidedly practical value or
leading to action that averts 1mpend-
ing disaster. / know of one young
lady who, walking along quiet c0un-
try lane. suddenly beheld in her mind's
eve. a certain room in her house and
saw her mother lying on the moor OF
this room. So impressed was she win
the belief that something had nap
pened to her mother that she ran to
the house of the family doctor. took
him to her home post-haste and led
| him to the room in question. There.
sure enough. they found the mother
unconscious. She had been stricken
with an attack of heart failure that
| according to the physician would have
| been fatal had he not arrived when he
| did. The young lady's father, in cor
roboration Of her story. states:
Il distinctly remember being sur
prised by seeing my daughter in COM
| pany with the family doctor outside
| the door Of my residence and I asked
| Who is ili?' She replied, Mamma.
| She led the way at once to my wife's s
room, where we found my wife lying
| in swoon on the floor. When l ask

| the servants knew anything Of the
| sudden illness
/ Another lady, the widow of Mon
tana mine owner, has told me that
once, sitting alone with her infant
child, who is now one Of the Harvard
group Of promising young playwrights,
she heard voice command:
Take the child out Of the crib.''
Greatly frightened, she looked
around, but there was no one to be
seen. Indeed she had reason to be-
lieve that she and her son were foI
the time quite alone in the house
However the voice came again:
''Take the child out Of the crib

arms. Scarcely had she done sc
