Nov this mystery can bo solved
only by patient investigation and re-
peaied experiment. bet aoy thfoo Or
four gentlemen secure the soryice Oi
a liberal minded medium, Who Is not

vent n genuine test, who IL anxious
to prove the spiritual part Of tho
communications untro II Il can be
done, and set to work; they viii find
many difficulties at first, but the time
and patient study will pnravel them.
/ II the medium il sufficiently powerful
to overcome the opposing forces Of
their skeptical minds, experiments
may commence at the FIRST sittingl but
probably they viii fail then they
must pcrsevere earnestly, until their
thoughts, or that subtle spirit OF the
brain called feeling" works in h,r-
mony with the medium gradually,
after a few nights, they will get on
familiar terms" with the spirits, by
which we mean that the animal mag
netism, or "clairyoyant electricity
or biological spirit" Zone is obliged
to coin phrases to express ip is estab
lished between each Other, and the
answers will be correctly given.
Then first q simple test: Take out
your watch, note the time yourself
carefully, but do not tell the mcdiSm,
or anybody else; lay it on the table,
face down, and the medium will give
you the hour and minute accurately,
Then let friend place his watch
upon the table, without looking at
the face, and he will get 90 answer
which is simply guess work, or as
near the exact time as one could
guess it. Another simple test write
a note, before leaving home, seal it,
get some friend to write another of
whose contents you will remain igno-
rant, and seal that. Take the two
notes the seqncc, and place your own
on the table; the medium will give
you its contents, word for word; then
produce the other; and if the writer is
not present, or if no person "within
or near the house is oognizant Of its
contents, you can not get a correct
answer.
We say within or near the house.
for the reason that this telegraphic
communication from one mind to an
ether has been proven to extend, by
careful measurement with the tape
line, over sixty feet, through three
doors. And here is tie secret of the
whole matter; one can not get cor
rect answer to any question of fact
unless some person near knows what
The correct answer is; his mind un-
conveys the reply through
the medium, who is in utter ignorance
)f what the answer will be, and is
,ften as Buch surprised as any other
person present. When sealed note,
he contents OF which every one pres
mt is ignorant, is rendered incorrect
y, of course there is a sensation; fire.
Iuently all manifestations cease at
,nce; your spiritualist friends Will
ay, "the spirit has left" or "will not
any more;" this they
irmly believe, and they are right, {

ircle is destroyed that delicate mag 7
