MAN WITH SIXTH SENSE

ASTONISHING FEATS OF TELEPATHY. PARIS. May 20, What is the strange occult power possessed by Louis Kt.hu, the “Man with the Sixth Sense?” His wise is inexplicable to the fore most French scientists, and a former French Premier, Academicians, High Court judges, and detectives have been mystified by a display of Ins uncanny power.

Then he told those present what they had written. With the exception of an error in one word, which did not alter the sense of the phrase, Kahn faithfully rendered tho contents,of 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 well-known politician. ‘‘Madame, please burn your slip, fat away from me, so that 1 cannot possibly sec it,” said Kahn, and when the woman had done so he pointed to M.
