Prof. Andrew F. Seymour, i of Rockford, 111., a mind reader, i has begun preparations for a | feat he proposes to accomplish | next summer. He will, June 21, throw himself into a state of insensibility and will be buried. The grave is to be watched by a committee day and night while a crop of barley is sowed, ripened and is harvested over it. Mr. Seymour will then be disinterred and will return to life. It is a feat which, it is claimed, has been performed by the fakirs of India under conditions that prevented imposition and Mr. Seymour says he has such control over his mind and nervous system that he is confident he can perform the act.
