, probing of psychologists and we have succeeded in convincing them that our work does not lose in practical, perma- nent value because it is exploited behind | the footlights. Some eminent Hopkins l scientists recently expressed themselves as convinced that we were capable of | contributing valuable aid to the experi- mentors in their work.
 I've suggested telepathy as the ex- 1 planation of clairvoyance to Dr. Leonard I<eene Hirshberg of Baltimore, one of Hopkins foremost experimental labora- tory workers, and his subsequent investi- gations have led him to believe there is much truth in our assumption. By this, the idea of the soul taking flight, while the body is in a trance and returning to the physical being to give an account of what it has observed in it's wanderings is completely banished. This has been the standard catch-penny game of the cheap
 mediums since the gentle art ofvfleecing the superstitious gained popularity. And that began, long before the prophetic dreams and utterances of the oracles astounded the ancients.
 For this bizarre, yet fascinating idea. we substitute far more reasonable l theory. Telepathy is not a theory; it is Q fact accepted without question by all 1 schools of psychologists Those who cling l to their doubts of that need only see our performance to discard them. For the | conjuror is yet to devise trick by which
 mans name can be transmitted from one performer to another. This we do, | not once, but many times, passing 1 through the audience and giving the test l with all who desire it.
 with telepathy thus firmly estab- l lished, it Is but a step to the explanation | of clairvoyance. To the psychic sensi-
 tive, distance is no barrier. Space is l as if it did not exist One mind can l communicate with another, if the devel- . opment has reached that height, across ! the widest ocean of the earth, instan- 1 taneously This is not belevable; it is simply 8 demonstration that the human brain is a greater thing than manu- factured cable.
 'When a person is hypnotized and placed in the state recognized as the clair voyant sleep, his psychic resources are raised to the ninth power. Anything that can be accomplished with them at any time can be accomplished then Now, in another city, perhaps there is psychic whose mind is so concentrated at that moment that his mental message IS sweeping out everywhere, like wireless waves, waiting for receptive. These telephathic waves meet the person m the clairvoyant state that person IS ready and able to receive the message, ana thus the phenomenon is produced. There l is no reason to suppose, there is no
 i necessity to assume that the soul leaves | the body and takes pfeposterous jour- l ney across the ocean, like witch on 1 broomstick 1t is simply question of mentality; of the highest achievement which the mind has yet demonstrated it's 1 capability, and as this theory is more ] generally recognized and investigated along that line, better results will be oo- tained."
 1 Wherever they go, MT. Prescott and | his companion aim to interest scientists 1 in their work. While here they pro-
 pose to give private demonstrations for | the benefit of local psychologists, or, if | it is desired, they will gladly allow their | investigators to watch their performance l from the stage.
