and il is an inherent quality OF every human
mind.
Another incident occurring while Alex
ander was u child doubtless had much to do
with his later earnest endeavors to master
every phase OF the psyehologically mysteri-
Gus. His mother, one day. became very much
alarmed about her eldest son, who was four
days over due in coming home from his reHi-
ment. Alexander was seized by q cognition
that his brother had been seriously injured.
The mother became imbusd with the same
idea and it afterward developed that the con-
cusions were correctly drawn. This was an
ticipated, Alexander contends, because the
brother, hurt and bruised, was concentrating
his thoughts upon the loved ones back home.
For a quarter Of a century Alexander has
wonders" 1t is estimated that he has covered
more than a million miles in his travels.
Kings, queens, statesmen, people Of national
and worldwide prominence, are numbered
among his friends. Every few years the
mystic returns to India for further study and
research.
n Wears Robe Gift Of King.
The robe worn by Alexander during his
performances and shown on the accompany
ing illustration, is personal gift from the
Begun of Bhupal, one of the most progress
sive and enlightened Of India's princes. An
incipient insurrection was frustrated in the
Begum's province several years ago, through
the foresight of Alexander. After consider
able difficulty Alexander gained an audience
with the potentate and gave the ruler names
and data concerning a clique of men who
were plotting against the, government. At
first a scoffer, the Begun was finally i'm
pressed with Alexander's sincerity and after
a protracted vigilance the men in question
were captured at one Of their secret sedition
meetings. While guest at the princes
palace, Alexander was treated to many sights
which he said for glory and splendor would
rival the fabled arabian Nights" In this
palace the mystic was privileged to view the
world famous rug of pearls, 10 feet long by
feet wide, with the center design made of
diamonds. 1t is said that it took corp of
artists three years to assemble this jeweled
rug which is conservatvely valued at ST.
100000.
Making 1t Difficult.
It has always been great source of COM
ment regarding the methods used by Alex
ander in answering questions submitted him
during theatrical performance, since he
limits no one as to the container in which the
questions may be sealed According to the
occult worker these queries may be sealed in
the ordinary way, sewed up in cloth, soldered
in tin cans or brazed in gas pipes and written
in any language familiar to the one asking the
question.
In his famed "Simla Seance," or crystal
gazing, Alexander stands without rival. The
demonstration which Alexander is Offering
IN the varieties is varied through the intro
ductlon of classic and Oriental dances by
Mile. Valeska and the Nartell Twins. artistic
exponents Of this particular style Of terpsi-
chorean endeavor.
