TELEPATHY FROM THE DYING.

In an arresting article in tic Pah Mall Gazette" of June i/th, called torth by a review in its columns of her latest novel "Do the Dead Know? Miss Annesley Kc'nealy writes:— It has been established , beyond a doubt that before and during the sundering of soul and body flash-messages can, and do, pass between the dying and the living. In the tenderness born of love there arises an urge to convey a message of hopa and comfort to those who are left behind, an urge so poignant as to create a medium for mental telepathy. Such messages have come to me with an impression vivid as light'tting. rx „ ;.. Walking one wnter afternoon m Sloane-street, I suddenly heard the voice of a man 1 was shortly to marry; He said distinctly " Good-bye, (using a name known only to ourselves. "It's all over batween us. I turned. "But why?" I asked aloud. Then, seeing nobody, I knew the relentless thing that had happened. Where are you?" I cried in distress The answer came, laboured and breathless At the —Hotel, Liverpool," an hotel 1 had never before heard of. The impression of calamity was <t strong upon me that I telegraphed to his family ask : ng his address. The reply came that he had been called on business to Liverpool, and was in the v,ery hotel his voce had named. Next day news reached me of Irs sudden death at the very moment lie had spoken to me in Sloane-street. A part-finished letter to me, the ink still wet upon it, was found beside him. He had just time to ring Irs bell, ask for and obtain a doctor Feeling the hand of death upon him h.is thoughts had flashed to me. For a long time afterwards he was with me constantly. But of so tender and beautiful a miracle as this I am unable to write. . The death of another friend with whom I had always been in telepathic communvcaVon was conveyed to me almost as dramatically. He had undergone a slight operation. Nobody had dreamed that the consequences could lie sarious—or that there were likely to be any consequences. But at three one morning I woke with a strong conviction that he was dead. And it was so. He passed at the very hour that a vivid impression of his death had roused me from sleep. Honourable- beyond the grave, I was de?ply distressed for many months after by Irs incessant efforts to explain why a promise he had made me had not been fulfilled. But, further than these flash-messa-ges, though Death hides his Secrets well, some persons who are sensit : ve to psychic influences may, and do, receive glimpses of a world that is not our actual and visible world, and are able thus to bridge the aching distance between themselves and those who have passed.
