PSYCHOLOGISTS PUZZLED
MATHEMATICAL WIZARD (United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright)
(Received 7th January, 8.35 a.m.) LONDON, 6th January. Medical faculties in London, New York and Berlin are outbidding one another for the possession of the head of a man who privately exhibited his mental powers at Claridge’S' lidtel."'He is a 27-year-old Hungarian named Olgo, the son of a small farmer, and he is able to work out involved calculations which experienced mathematicians find it difficult to perform on paper. Olgo is unable to explain his ability; which hediscovered when aged six. Psychologists have since failed to find out the reason for his power, hence doctors’ eagerness to examine his skull. A draft agreement drawn up requires Olgo to arrange that his skull be preserved and sent to the purchasers.
