WAH-LET-KA TELLS Of
HER WONDERFUL GIFT
Impressions Just Come To
Her and She Repeats Them
Without Thinking
fBy z R.l


Mental telepathy and elairvoyanee in
a few years will be universally studied
as a necessary science by the people, l.
the opinion of Wah-Let-Ka, the Indian
princess who has been appearing at Ye
Liberty theatre this past week in a
mind reading and clairvoyant act.
Although she admitted to the Journal
representative who Nealled on her yes
terday afternoon Just before she went
on with her act that people are some
what hostile in their attitude, yet they
have keen interest in what the sci
ence can do for them in solving their
peFplexing life problems.
Clairvoyance and mental telepathy
she stated have been surrounded with so
much mystery and charltanism that any
one who pretends to have the gift of
either naturally or acquired is believed
fakir and to be praeticing fraud.
She believes that people are awakening
to the possibilities of the science and
are beginning to study it, She says
that each person has the faculty lay
ing dormant within them and they only
require to know how to develop it, to
knew the process of beginning them
selves in harmony with the law of ma
ture that will produce the effect de-
sired.
Had Gift in Childhood.
Nah-let-ka began Saying" things
when she was eight years old. +. She said
she was at the horse races with her faith
~ when all of a sudden the impression
came to her that two of the horses
horses would be killed. She said so but
her father laughed at her, but during
the race two of the horses were killed
and her first prophecy was verified.
Later she "prophesied other things,
end she was reprimanded for telling
things not true, and her father even
spanked - her, but what she said came
rue ami finally the fact that she was
a, seeress," came to be recognized.
She is a delightful little woman to
talk to and her eyts have a luminous
glcw that is hypnotizing. She is frail
and nervous, yet her personality shines
through her eyes and cheers every one
around her.
While | was talking with her man
about As edged closer to catch
some scraps of conversation
as we stood by her dressing
room door. Suddenly she turned te
him and told him that he was not fol-
lowing his right vocation, that he should
be M electrician, in fact that in the
mechanical side of electricity, if he did
not know it already, he was a genius
and that he would find it out some time.
The man eyes sparkled and he ad-
mittcd he was studying electricity. She
told him other things Of personal ma
ture, too.
"What is the sensation you feel when
you 90 before your audiences ! ask
cd.
Must Speak Instantly
"I feel the hostile thoughts of the
crowd heating in on me like thousands
of apear-points; they do not believe that
/ can do what / say and sometimes it
affects me strongly so that I cannot
go on easily. In fact if L did not
have some one in sympathy out in the
| crowd / could not work. With my hus-
band out in the crowd, I can eoneen-
trate and feel the impressions.
''Do you receive your impressions by
rictures9" was the next question.
F." Not always. The impression
somes and must say it
without stopping to reason
If stop to think that it may or may
not be true, l hesitate and become CON
fused You see I must give myself up
entirely torthe impression I receive and
tell it as it comes to me-"
"Could you perform just as well with
any other person other than your hus-
| band?D | questioned.
Yes, +" she replied. "With most any
one who can concentrate the mind and
who is sympathetic. In an hours time,
/ could make a person receptive so we
could work.
Wah.letk ka, who in everyday life is
Mrs. Royal, disclaims utterly anything
but the gift which she has developed
and she is of the firm opinion that 9th
er people have the gift and that they
can develop it if they will only study
