DENIES GIRL
HAS X-RAY VISION
Professor Munsterberg Report
Upon Tests Made With
Beulah Miller
NEW YORK. April 25—Dr. Hugo
Munsterberg, professor of psychology
•t Harvard University, who made a
earefv' study of the case of -Beulah

Warren, R. I., gives for the first time

ers. Dr«. Munsterberg scouts the the
ory that she is possessed of what is
known as "X-ray vision." Dr. Mun
sterberg, in closing his article, says;
"It is a pity how the community
forces sensationalism, commercialism
and Anally humbug and fraud on a
simple little country girl, who ought
to be left alone with her pet lamb in
her mother's kitchen. Her gift is ex
tremely interesting to the psycholog
ist, and Jf it is not misused by those
who try to jump spiritualistic super

phetic gifts, are not hers.
Opinion Surprises (jaackenboah.
Beulah Miller has been credited
with the most, remarkable powers. It
has been said that she was able to
name a card lying face down, the de
nomination of wihch was known to no
one and also that she as able to tell

the name of a stranger.
B. Quackenhosh. the
searcher, vouched for the first state
ment, and, when lie was told of what
Dr. Munsterberg had to say. reiterat
ed his assertion that the child was
■ possessed of "X-ray vision."
Relatives Must Know Tests,
Dr. Munsterberg explains his ex
periments in some detail, showing
how the girl guessed the denomination
of cards sblecled by him and known
lo her mother ami sister. Words
which had been selected she also told,
hut these she spelled out letter by
letter. in explaining ihls, however,
ho says:
"There is one explanation which
offers ftaelf most readily. We saw
that in order to succeed some one
around her. preferably the mother
and sister, who stand nearest to her
heart, have to know the words or the
cards. Those visual images must, be
in some one's mind, arid she has the
unusual power of being able to read
them there."
Dr. Munsterberg then advances the
theory of "subconscious impressions."
Summing up his argument, he says:
"I am convinced that ail the experi
ences with Beulah Miller may ulti
mately be understood through these
two principles. She has unusual gifts
and lier performances arc extremely
Interesting, but I think everything
can be explained through her subcon
scious noticing of unintended signs.
. Whurcjoo signs are given which reach
her senses she cannot read anyone's
mind. But the signs which she re
ceives arc not. noticed by her con
sciously. She IS not really aware of
them: they go to her brain or to her
subconscious mind and work from
there on her conscious mind "
