SIXTH SENSE

FEATS OF TELEPATHY.

PARIS, May 2U

What is the strange occult power possessed by Louis Kahn, the “Man with the Sixth Sense?”

His case is inexplicable to the foremost French scientists, and a former French Premier, Academicians, High Court judge:;, and detectives have been mystified by a display of his uncanny power. He is able to read a letter written by another person without seeing or touching it. Kahn, who is 53, and a German, who disavows German nationality, nas just demonstrated his powers beioie an audience including M. Louis Barthou, a French ex-l’remier, M. Boucheur, a former Cabinet Minister, and AL Morain, the Prefect of Police. There were 12 persons in all present, and each wrote in an adjoining room a phrase on a slip of paper, which was folded eight times and kept in the closed hand. ‘ lie left the room while the slips were exchanged, ami on returning said: ‘‘Though you have been exchanging your slips each one finally came back to it:; author.” This was correct.

Then he told those present what thev had written.

with the exception of an error in one word, which d:d not alter tbe sense of the phrase, Kahn faithfully rendered t,he i contents qf the 12 slips. Striking proof of his telepathic powers was shown when, at M. Barthou’s suggestion a woman 'in the company wrote on her slip of paper a declaration of affection for a wellnown. politician. ‘•Madame, please burn your slip, f::r away from me. so that 1 cannot pdssiblv see it.” .said Kalin, and hen the woman had done so, he pointed to M. Bar,thou, remarking, " this . gentleman there dictated the I'hrase to you, so he will be able to verify it if I render it correctly.” And. amid laughter, he read word lor word what the woman had written.
