Meantime, in the little town of Lebanon, somewhich she talked to her husband and described to hiirl was lying So strongly was Mr titus impressed by her statements that, next day, he took her to Enfield, where the diver, following her instructions, quickly found the body in the place located by her

Mrs titus afterwards gave other, if less sensational, demonstrations of a similar character; and Professor James, who made a close study of her case, publicly stated his belief that her experiences form ”a decidedly solid document in favor of the admission of a supernor may later come to be attached to such a phrase”

There are also on record certain well-attested dreaent, or sender, of the clairvoyant vision A characteristic dreahter-in-law of the English savant, Hensleigh Wedgwood

”I spent the Christmas holidays with wood,[16] ”and in the beginning of January I had a re at breakfast

”I drea at the corner of a street When I reached the top of the stairs I noticed aopposite with a little colored glass, shorton a brass rod

The top of the ceiling had aveiled by colored muslin There were two s-room had a bo, with the same blinds; the library had a polished floor, with the sa to a child's party at a cousin's, whose house I had never seen, I told ht that that would prove to be the house

”On January tenth I ith ave the driver a wrong nus about the house, and remarked to the cabman that it was not a corner house The servant could not tell me where Mrs

H lived, and had not a blue-book Then I thought of my drea up for the peculiar blinds I had observed in my dream These Iat the door, was relieved to find that it was the house of which I was in search

”On going up-stairs, the room and s corresponded hat I had seen in my drea on the landing The hich I had seen the colored glass was hidden by the blind being down, but I learned on inquiry that it was really there”

In this case the dreah devoid of any dramatic feature, served a useful purpose, as did a , an Irish istrate and land-owner[17] In his dreaate of a friend's park, roup of persons, one a woman with a basket on her arm, the rest men, four of ere tenants of his ohile the others were unknown to hi a murderous attack on one of his tenants, and he ran to his rescue

[17] The evidence relating to this drea,” vol i, pp 381-383

”I struck violently at the reater violence at theto my surprise that I did not knock either of theain, with all the violence of a ht of reat ah visible to my eye, ithout substance; and the bodies of the ether after each blow through the shadowy arms I struck with My bloere delivered with more extreme violence than I think I ever exerted; but I became painfully convinced of my incompetency

I have no consciousness of what happened, after this feeling of unsubstantiality ca stiff and sore, and his wife inforht by striking out ”as if fighting for his life” He then told her of his curious dream, and asked her to renized by hient stating that the tenant whom he had dreamed he saw attacked had been found unconscious, and apparently dying, at the very spot where Doctor Young had in his dream tried to defend him; and that there was no clue to his assailants

That night Doctor Young started for the scene of the tragedy, and iistrate for warrants for the arrest of the three nized in the vision All three, when arrested and questioned separately, told the sa the details of the dream, even to the incident of the presence of the wo about the affair because they were afraid it would make trouble for the that while walking hoht, the tenant--who, by the way, ultiers, whose co to protect hi, it was between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of the fight that her sleeping husband had frightened her by his violent actions

Here the telepathic i the clairvoyant dream may have come either from the injured tenant himself or fro The difficulty is to conceive an adequate reason for any of the for argument's sake the possibility of independent clairvoyance, the still more thorny question at once arises why his ”astral body” should have chosen to journey to that precise spot at that precise moment

The obstacles in the way of such a conception as independent clairvoyance are too serious to be overcome Nor is it necessary to resort to it, in view of the fact that in the vast majority of clairvoyant cases it is possible to establish definitely the telepathic association

Here, by way of illustration, is a typical case, fully as i no doubt as to its origin It was reported to the Society for Psychical Research by Mrs Hilda West, daughter of Sir John Croas at the tieneral for Norway

”My father and brother,” runs Mrs West's narrative, ”were on a journey during the winter I was expecting theone to bed at the usual tiht I had a vivid dreareat i out of a hen I saw father driving in a Spids sledge, followed in another by my brother They had to pass a cross-road, on which another traveler was driving very fast, also in a sledge with one horse Father see the other felloould, without fail, have driven over father if he had not made his horse rear, so that I saw my father drive under the hoofs of the horse Every moment I expected the horse would fall down and crush hiht

”The nextlad to see you arrive quite safely, as I had such a dreadful dreaht' My brother said: 'You could not have been in greater fright about him than I was' And then he related to me what had happened, which tallied exactly with ht, when he saw the feet of the horse over father's head, called out: 'Oh, father! Father!'”

Compare with this the very si state, experienced by Mrs Helen Avery Robinson, of Anchorage, Kentucky, and communicated by her, with a corroborative letter from her son, to Professor Hyslop:

”My son and a friend had driven across the country to dine and spend the evening with friends The rest of the household had retired for the night I akened by the telephone, and looked at the clock, finding it eleven-thirty I knew ht of a n-stairs, which I felt ht not have been locked, and I determined to remain awake and askand listening for hiht break-cart, turn over,horse's head, his friend hold on to the lines, and in a ht and felt no disturbance
