I h The Startling Manifestations of a t Sixth Sight by a v i c SMALL PEASANT BOY.! t ( 1 b Norway Who Has Located Miss- ' i lug Persons, Found Lost Articles I ^ .. . 1 niiu t. univi-iu-u iiiuratT ami utner |, Mysteries in a Way That No One' Ho Far lias Been Able to SatfcfaeJ torily Explain. , A letter from London to the New York American says there can be no I further doubt that the marvelous clairvoyant powers of Johann Floetturn, the fourteen-year-old farm boy J whose "sixth sense" has enabled him to perform feats that have set the whole of Norwav, his native country, talking. , He has located missing articles, explained mysterious murders, revealed the spot where the body of a missing child lay, and directed the police in many searches for criminals. Sir Henry Seton-Karr, the noted traveler and hunter of big game, has lately returned from a visit at the ; home of this remarkable boy, where he tested his occult gift with results which enabled Sir Henry to endorse , all that has been claimed for it. Sir Henry describes Johann Floet turn as an apparently normal and healthy Norweigan farm lad of the peasant class, of good size for his age, which is baiely fourteen. A , cioser inspection reveals, nowever, a Eair of eyes which seem to have the abit of turning their glances inward ?rather, a lifting of the pupils until they are nearly or quite veiled by the upper lids. When engaged in ordinary conversation the lad's glance is frank and nis eyes do not appear different from those of ordinary persons. It is when Johann exerts his strange power of "seeing" things which have happened, or are happenings, elsewnere, that this transformation in his organs of vision occurs. Sir Henry's visit to the lad'^home was at a time last Spring when Johsann's powers were about to be put to a most exacting test. Being owner of an elk forest not far from Sing-Sass, the boy's native please, Sir Henry had heard much of the gossip circulating about the neighborhood concerning Johann's feats of clairvoyance. And he knew the sad story of the little girl who was lojt in tne woods near Aalesund two years before, the mystery of whose fate was now expected to be solved by the "sixth sense" of Johann Fioettum. Tnis widely announced test of the boy's powers was looked upon as a great occasion, especially by the peasant class. For many miles about Sing-Sass came pettsants of both sexes, in their quaint national costume, full of confidence that the boy would tell what had become of little lost Sophia "Johann. my boy, you used to know little Sopia, didnt' you?" queried Sir Henry, "the little girl who has been missing two years?" "Yes, sir, we used to go to the same school," said Johann. "Try and tell us what has become of her; tell us where we can find little Sophia." Sir Henry urged gently. Johann did not appear to go into the conventional trance. At first he seemed to be looking far, far away towards the mountains at Aalesund. Gradually his glance turned inward, the pupils of his eyes turned upward until they were concealed by the lids. Every now and then he passed his hand lightly across his brow. Presently his lips began to move. The audience became absolutely silent. At length the boy began speaking, hesitatingly, in low. dreamy tones. He said he saw the little girl leaving her home with the permission of an elder sister to go and pick berries. He saw her pass her father who was at work in a field near the house and disappear in the mountainous woods. He said he saw her picking berries and she was happy and singing. Then he said he saw her sad and she was going in the wrong way. Then he concluded by saying: "1 see poor, lost?little- Sophia crying and stumbling along by the river. 1?see her?foot tripped? Dy a vine?and she falls?into?the river. I hear her screams, and?I? see?her?carried swiftly over the falls. Now?something seems to? hide her from?me." The peasants are powerfully stirred in their emotions. They lean lorward eagerly as Johann brushes his forehead absently. Now his lips move again, and he says, with absolute certainty in his voice: "I seem to see little Sophia's body lying at the bottom of the waterfall." At this point Johann comes out of his trance-lUe state. It was not really a trance, for he remembers all the details of what he has seen. "Ja. ja, ja," says a peasant from Aalesund. "I know that waterfall. Come, neighbors, we will go and find the body of little Sophia. " PSir Henry Setoo-Karr returned to his hunting lodge in bis elk forest, where a few days later he learned from a message he had sent to Aale sund that the body of little Sophia, two years after her disappearance, bad been found under the waterfall, exactly as described by Johann Floetturn. Thereupon Sir Henry invited the boy to his hunting lodge as a guest, desiring to make the most thorough personal tests of his clairvoyance. One extraorj*^|^^isode Sir Henry . describe^^J - | "Toafl ^ycppriences VJ; HL rounded four years ago in my forst, but could not trace, and whoee ead 1 much desired to find. I "There was snow on the ground t 'the time, but altnough I followed he trail of blood for a whole day I lever found the beast, and I often rondered at its immense staying lower. The rain which followed ompletely spoiled the trail for the Logs. "I invited young Floettum to take soffee with me and discuss that big )ull elk, He is intelligent type >f the Norwegian boy, about four:een years of age. There is no affecat ion about him, and when he is isked a question he puts his elbows 3ii trie table, covers his eyes with (lis hands, and describes minutely what he 'sees.' "I talk Norwegian, and I explained t > him where I had started from. Then I drew a rough map for him. and asked him to describe the trail of the elk. "This he did with his eyes closed. It was an amazingly circuitous trail, ending at a pool where, he said, the head and leg bones now lie. "I next asked him to draw a straight line from the spot where I shot the elk to the pool. This was the most amazing part of the performance. "Without a moments hesitation he drew a straight line from one spot to the other, with his eyes closed, marking off with his pencil intervals of a hundred yards. He informed me that the spot where the head lies is exactly 1,800 yards, as the crow flies, from the spot where I shot the animal. "One of the 'intervals' was a trifle shorter than the others. When I asked him the reason for this he explained that he was taking into account a s sharp dip in the ground at this spot. This particular dip I know well, and I was more impressed by this little detail in the boy's drawing than by anything else. "Of course I am having the spot explored; and in a few davs I shall hear if the elk head is where the boy 'saw' it! I should certainly not be surprised if it were." Strangely enough, a few days af-' ter Sir Henry made the foregoing statement, he recived word from his game-keeper at the elk forest, that the head and leg bones had been found in exactly the spot described by Johann Floettum. All accounts agree that Johann, a simple minded, honest lad, had no idea of putting his rare gift to his own pecuniary advantage. He has seemed to regard as a joke several offers from dime museum and music hall managers, He seems nuite satisfied with the gratitude of neighbors, and visitors from distant oarts of Norway, when his "sixth sense has solved difficulties for them. A year ago many farmers of his neighborhood complained of mysterious losses of sheep. They went to Johann about it, He went into his trance like state and 'saw* the misssheep shot and eaten by "riper" (red grouse) hunters, a class of sportsman who live on what they can capture. This verdict, strengthened by the prestige of the boy's fame was circulated everywhere, with the result that no more sheep were missed. One day in the winter a peasant came to Jotiann lammenting the loss of his old silver watch, an heirloom in his family. Young Floettum "saw" it buried in a snow drift whrre the peasant had dropped it, He gave an accurate description of the spot and there the deligted old man found his property. A resident of a neighboring town, a man not w^ll balanced mentally disappeared and was searched for in vain, Johann was appealed to, He described a deep pool in a running by the town, and there, at the bottom of the pool, the body of the demented man was found. At the present time most of the inhabitants of Norway are exercised the success or failure to locate Anna Jensen a young girl stolen from Christiana and carried ofi by tramps. The boy declared that he "saw" the girl being carried by tramps to the sea coast, thence into the mountains and there concealed in a certain cave. "The girl is alive," he said" "But she has suffered terribly and is much emaciated," He described the mountains and their location with so much detail that there was no diffcilty in identifying them. More than two hundred peasants engaged in the search for the cave. In Christianna interest in Anna Jensen's fate was so intense that a large party of soldiers' equipped for mountain travel, was sent out to assist in the popular undertaking, The cave was finally found, just as it had been described by Johann Fioettum, but owing to its'size and many winding branches, could not then be thoroughly explored. Sir Henry said that when he left Norway preparations were complete for a thorough search of every part of the cavern, and there was a general expectation that it would prove successful?so firm is the faith of his countrymen in the occult powers i of Johann Fioettum. Naturally, public confidence in Johann'* r?l?i rvuvnnt ? ? ? . rV vaxw J^V/ rrvio lias come to be shared by public officials i in the part of Norway where the boy lives. Upon several occasions the police have sought his aid in solving criminal mysteries?usually with complete success. Last Spring the police were at their wits' end to account for a series of robberies committed in a fine country mansion not far from Sir Henry Seton-Karr's hunting lodge. Several tramps were arrested, but the robberies continued. Finally Johann was appealed to. He went into his trance-like state and "saw" the confidential man servant of the owner of of the house stealing money and plate, which he hid until able to dispose of it in Christiana, Confronted with Johann's statement, the man confessed. Johann has many visitors of scientfic pretensions, interested in tr^ ing to explain his strange pov^M They have come to the little^B Sing-Sass from Cnristu?^ Stockholm, and __ PA.YS TO BE POLITE. Some Suggestions All of Us Should Remember and Practice. It does not cost anything to be polite to your friends and acquaintances ana incidentally it goes a long way toward making life pleasant for yourself. A civil answer makes more friends that a gruff one. land a smile succeeds when a frown fails. We have no right to impose our little tempers and annoyances on our fellow-beings. The fact that one person annoys ue does not justify us in visiting it on the next person we meet. And yet that is wnat a great many of us do. One trival, annoyance often upsets us for the whole day. Some people have the happy knack of showing courtesy to everyone with whom they come in contact. It is a delightful quality and one which brings its possessor great popularity. Abruptness is a hard fault to cure, ank vet it can be done. You see, it is so e?sy to hurt people's feelings by speaking abruptly to them. It may be done quite unintentional but neverthe.ess the fact remains that it is done. And the funny thing about it is that those who are most given to hurting others are generally very easily hurt themselves. The quickest wav of curing a habit is by neverjforgettinglthatlvou are curing it. If you are inclined to be brusque, abrupt and harsh-spoken, you must keep the one thought constantly on your mind. Underneath all that you are doing must run the refrain, "I must be pleasant, I must be courteous." When anyone asks you a ci\i question, don't snap |his head otf with a sharp answer. You can at least answer civilly. There is one special case of incivilty that we see illustrated too often. It is that of strangers or old people asking the way to certain points or streets. Nine out of te.. persons whom they ask look as ii they are being insulted. And yet the request is a perfectly ordinary one, and surely demands a civil answer. There are thousands of other instances just as simple. Don't think that you can save your politeness for those you like or for those whom you dare not be anything but polite. If you want to get on well you must be polite to everybody. Spmetimes you find people who are models of courtesy when among strangers and demons of incivility in the home circle. The politeness that is only kept for show is a pretty poor brand, hardly worth dignifying with the name. Politeness isn't a virture---it's an absolute necessity, and the more of it you practice in your everyday life the better off you will be.?Merchants Journal. INVENTOlt OF ARTIFICIAL 1CK Was l)r. Gorrie a Native of Charleston, S. C. We clip the following- interesting paragraph from the Atlanta Journal: Editor of the Journal: Sir: I note in your issue on Monday the following paragraph: "Florida papers are mentioning Dr. John Gorrie as a candidate for the Hall of Fame. Now, who in thunder is the gentleman?" In his anxiety to turn a humorous ' paragraph your paragrapher. has betrayed an ignorance that would be surprising were it not so common among all our people. So little do some of us know about men who performed great services to mankind before the days of press agents. Dr. John Gorrie, a physician residing in Aj a'achicola. Fla., invented the process for making ice. being, despite the claims of certain Frenchmen, the first man to produce ice by artificial means. In his earnest desire to make comfortable a feverridden patient. Dr. Gorrie produced ice by mechanical means, utilizing his knowledge of chemistry, and thus laid the foundation of an industry *hich to-day numbers more than thre> thousand ice plants and a considerably larger number of cold storage plat ts. Dr. Gorrie's invention was ridiculed by New York papers to such an extent that he could obtain no financial backing to build machines large enough for commercial purposes. He died without seeing the Gorrie sysforr onnliorl rvr? n win u v/ii a tai^c SCillC There is a handsome monument to Dr. Gorrie, who was a native of Charleston, S. C , standing in Apalachicola, where the first ice was made in which nature played no part. His name is perpetuated in the corporate titles of many large ice manufacturing companies in the coast cities, Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans, where the first factories were built. Not six months ago The Journal published in the Haskin's series a full account of Dr. Gorrie's invention. No man could be commemorated in the Hall of Fame who did more for the comfort of his fellow men in the warm climates throughout the world, and incidenta'ly for the preservation of food products in all lands.

Vickers Pitted His Fists and Teeth Against llraggurd Who Was Afraid I To Stand Before a Man. Quick thinking has done as much as any other agency in ridding the West of its two-gun bad men. Armed officers of the law have rendered the life of the professional robber too unsafe to pursue, but the gunless man with nerve and muscle has played his important part in ridding many a community of a "bully," who wielded a .44 but was a coward at heart. Jack Vickers, editor of a newspaper in Leadville, Col., was! one of the latter type of men. In his day he was a prospector miner, freighter and cow gouger in the West and Southwest. His last encounter is worth mentioning. After a varied life, Vickers turned out to be an editor. He was a printer by trade and hailed from Philadelphia. In the rush for land in Leadville there were many Easterners. They were tenderfeet and easily imposed upon. It so happened that a man named Jeff Hudson was on hand to do all the imposing he could. Frequent complaints came to Vickers of Hudson's doings until finally the editor decided to do something for his subscribers and friends. He knew Hudson and his record, and wrote him up in fine fashion, declaring he was a bully and a coward: that he had killed two men in Arizona and one in New Mexico, and that in both cases he shot the men in the back. Everybody declared Vickers would be killed. When Hudson returned to Leadville from Denver, he hunted up Vickers and rushed into the editor's room, gun in hand. "Oh, you're an editor now, you sand toad, are you?" was Hudson's greeting. "So you're the Tuscon mule-whacking shrimp that write these things about me, eh?" Vickers began to utter some inconse quential things and, with face drawn into an expression of agony, began to rock back and forth in his chair. This pleased Hudson and as he had a habit of spitting into the face of his victim before shooting he approached Viekers, but here his triumph ended. Viekers whirled in his chair, seized Hudson'., right wrist between his teeth and began to bite with all his power. Hudson sc-earned, struck, fought, and finally dropped the gun. Then Hudson 'released his wolf's grip, made a sudden spring and butted his head into big Hudson's protruding chin. The braggard's tougue was lolling apart way out his mouth at that instant and he bit the member almost in iwo. Hudson dazed and half consciouE from a blow from the butt of his own gun b gan to beg off, tu. his fi nal departure was made simple by s blow from Viekers boot which sent him sprawling down the rickety stairway. Hudson quit the town that night and never returned. The story of the bully's downfall spread like wildfire. Viekers thought nothing or it. Later when one of his employes rrturned to the office and asked if anyone had been in Viekers replied: *'Ye-eh'but he did't subscribe." NEW WAV TO 'PHONE." Girls Find Method That Will TrnAsinit Heart Throbs to Lovers. It is not necessary to place the lips near the transmitter of a telephone to be heard at the other end of the wire, providing the transmitter be placed firmly against the chest and one speaks in a natural tone. This discovery was made recently by two young women of the St. Louis (Mo.) fashionable set. The principle involved is the same as that in the physician's stethoscope. Experiments developed the fact that conversation can be earned on with the transmitter placed on any part of the body, even the top of the head or on the knee. It is not yet on record whether heart throbs may be communicated over the wire between sweethearts. Among the advantages of the new system which, in addition to knocking away all stereotyped rules as to how to talk, contained in the telephone book, are that it is germ proof and non-fatiguing, since the transmitter may be switched from place to place in conversing with sweethearts and the long talkers. Moreover even the intuitive wife cannot detect suspicious odors under the modern blan in talking to her husi band. The directions are simple: place the transmitter firmly against the chest or other part of the body and speak in a clear, conversational tone. Prof. Calvin M. Woodward, one of the scientists of Washington university, explained that there was nothing new in the principle, but admitted he had never before thought of its application to the telephone. He said the sound vibration in the lungs is communicated through the chest instead of through the lips and ihen carried ovtr the wire in the usual way. "The chest system," he said, "is in accordance with the principle of the physicians' stethoscope." Aftkr December 10 there will be a rush for cotton on the part of the spinners and exporters, and the price will advance because the government report will show that the crop is short, very short. Professor Joseph H. Drake, of the law departrnpnt of the university of Michigan, has startled his class by declaring that he would favor electing Theodore Roosevelt ao king of this country. This fool professor is evidently tired of teaching and is on the lookout for a government job r? -. " A MARRYING GIRL. She Married Three Husbands ia One / Short Week.
