Precognition

"Before a public demonstration, Osty, accompanied by others, went to the empty hall at the Institute in Paris, selected a chair at random from among the one hundred and fifty seats there, and gummed a label underneath it. Then he got a sensitive, M.Pascal Forthuny, to sit in the chair, and left him there with a stenographer. M. Forthuny then proceeded to dictate what he saw clairvoyantly of the unknown person

who, some time later, would occupy this seat. Having done so, he withdrew. A considerable crowd had assembled outside, and when the doors were opened, a rush for seats ensued. During the demonstration M.Forthuny appeared and read out the description which has previously dictated; and it was found to fit, with more less exactitude, the person who was now occupying the selected chair."

"It has been suggested by occultists that all objects have their appropriate "etherial effluvia," and that they carry with them magnetic influences from their previous environment, etc; also, by persons not classed as occultists, that every object has its whole past history in some obscure way impressed upon it; and various other vague ideas of "radiations" and so forth have been invoked with the purpose of explaining the part played by a material object in provoking clairvoyance."
