The facts of MIR. G.. are all ms ched by previ-
Gus facts OF a like character, covering as much
ground and known to be connected with what all
recognize as the scope OF the mind in peculiar

was attacked with peculiar fits in which state she

These musical sounds" are of piece with the
raps-no more mysterious-and as sound l. air or
ether pat in motion, the mind in this magnetic
state might produce musical tones well as raps.
