tones Of the deceased, "Oh, lha, old, familiar
sound N We know that The medium is not
deceiving us by infalible tests.
Q.-ls the writing Of the Spirits always
done by the hand of medium
A.--Not always; sometimes the Spirits
write themselves.
Q.-The Spirits, then, have bodies!
A.-Yes Spiritual, subimated bodies.
Q.-You have mentioned that the Spirits
are sometimes seen. Do all present see
them
A.-No. For all have not the came deve-
opement and the same acu,eness of vision.

when two or three persons we're together,
one saw the Spirit while the rest could see
nothing.

A.--You will see something of that kin,
