planned laughingly that at home I'D IN
| Warren. which is a suburb of Provi-
| dence, none of the children would play
cards with her any more, because they
could never make her tie "ohi maid. !"
| She could visualize the cards that were
handed to her to draw from and would
| always refuse to accept tie particular
| one which makes the possessor remain
| for life in unwedded unhappiness.
| And they won't play hide tho but
| ton with me any more, either" she
| complained To a reporter of the World.
s'rhey say it's too easy for me to find
/ the button"
| Gladys told of a resent instance where
| the children in the Warren School tried
/ particularly hard to battle Beulah in hid
ing an object. Abetted by their teacher,
! they got n stcpladder and placed the
..buttou,, on top of the clock in the
/ class -room--six or eight feet above the
| ground.
II can see it, but / can't reach It," she
| told them after a time. I'm too little
| The button is on top of the clock"
| A still more difficult feat along this
| line was planned by Reulah's hostess of
last week. She said:
"Beulah, I'm going to select an object
about which you know nothing. and then
| I'm going to hide it in an out-of-the-
way place while you're out of the room
IL you can tell NE what ii Is I'll give you
a nice present.
The hostess selected one of those paste
board cubes which come stuck full of
black pins for women's use. She placed
this in the cage of the canary bird, which
swung near a window Beulah being
kept out of the room when this was GO
ing on. Her sister Gladys was kept out
too, because it had become apparent that
thought transference between the chill
dren was strong and easy.
Upon Beulah's return she said after
studying a few minutes
"It is up there in the cage. I can see
it. but l don't know just what 1t Is"
Then she spelled, as she does with all un-
familiar objects. "B-O-X.'
ITpon seeing the bird for the first time
just after her arrival in the house, Beu-
lah gazed at him I'm childish admiration
of song and plumage, and then demand
cd whats his name?"
I'm not going to tell you. Beulah, be-
cause l want to see if you can find out
| for yourself said the hostess.
The little girl called out one letter f
| Immediately. but her attention was oi-
rected to something else and she went
no further just then. A few minutes
afterward, gazing again at the bird. she
said, "R.' Again she was diverted; but
that night, a few minutes after her host
| ess had tucked her in bed, she said:
''Oh, l know the name of the bird now.
It's F-R-E-T-Z.'
The name of the pet was Fritz. most
unusual cognomen for a canary. Beulah
had made a mistake in only one letter.
Showing the little sisters about New
York. which they had never visited be-
fore, their hostess took them uptown and
stopped at the Waldorf for luncheon.
One of the assistant managers, having
learned of Beulahs unusual accomplish
| ments, took them through the place.
Beulah was especially delighted with
the vast Kitchen and gazed in awe at the
head cook.
''Can you tell me what my name is?'
| he inquired. when he learned the identity
| of his victor.
| Laboriously, but quite correctly. she
/ spelled out a long Swiss name. which
even the assistant manager had not
heard before. Also. she told the assis-
| tant manager the exact date of his mar
| riage. which he confessed embarrassed
! ly he wasn't sure of himself But when
| he got home he found that the tiny girl
had been right.
DIR. Quackenbos wrote for the World
the following comment:
THE case of little Miss Miller seems
to be one of true X-ray vision. or the
power to see through Opaque objects.
IAN authentic case of X-ray vision
| was that of Lee Brett, formerly profess
sor of bactehiology at the College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons. 1t was reported
| fully in the Coming Age
This boy had the power, when hyp-
| Noticed. to look into and through the hu-
| man body and see the internal organisms
| as readily as he could see objects
through window. His descriptions
were verified by the X-ray and were al
ways true tie facts. So there is justffi-
| cation for the belief in medical clairvoy-
| ance, or power of diagnosis of the state
OF person from direct contact with the
! eye-or X-ray vision at short range
The same has been done at distance
!! In one or two instances by a psychic
whom I had under investigation a year
Or so ago. but she claimed to effect her
purpose by entering into the mental state
OF remote persons, and so to feel and act
the parts of those with whom she was
Ten rapport.
| This is ultra-normal. but ultra-normal
faculties are recognized as inherent in
human nature. Telepathy. the action of

i belongs to the essence of all minds.
Self-projeetion along these supernor-
NAL lines is facilitated by hypnotism, but
II Is not necessary, as in this case. to be
IN hypnotic state. In the case OF this
young girl an inner consciousness has
the gift of perceiving outward things
without the aid of the organs of sense"
