Norman Osgood Shows Remarkable Powers as a Mesmerist and Clairvoyant NORMAN OSGOOD A TERROR Boy of 13 Who Has Too Much Power Over Other People English, Indiana, March 9-Norman Osgood is the name of a 13-year-old boy who is creating both surprise and terror among the citizens of Petrona by powers displayed as a mesmerist and clairvoyant. He also shows remarkable power as a ventriloquist. The latter power was the only one he was known to be endowed with till a few days ago when one of the pupils at school seemed to be in a comatose condition. While Professor Conkling was laboring with the sick boy, he began to groan most piteously, and his cries of "Oh! My stomach!" while the limbs grew rigid, frightened the professor who sent for a doctor. Turning, he selected young Osgood as the messenger but noticed that his countenance was drawn and pallid. He too, was supposed to be sick, but his features relaxed and he remarked that "the poor fellow will soon be well." The groaning and crying stopped at this point, and under the special attention of the young mesmerist, the boy soon recovered. Osgood later on admitted to Professor Conkling that he had mesmerized the boy. On being reprimanded by his parents and teacher, he promised not to exercise his powers any more without permission. The young wonder is small of his age and thin and sallow looking.
