A treat Scientist on Spiritualism.


"One-haf the world does not
know how the other half lives" is q
common saying; it certainly il true
that one-half of the world is pro-
foundly ignorant of the opinions
and beliefs of the other. Two-thirds
of us have no idea Of the purposes
made by spiritualism, in spite of the
numerous exposures made every
month. 1g'rhe celebrated scientific
scholar, Alfred r. Wallace, who has
been ranked by his colleagues as the
peer of Darwin and whom Darwin
quotes over fifty times in his great
work, "Origin of Species and de-
clares that he has an climate genius
for solving difficulties" is now after
some years of careful scientific Ilves-
tigation an avowed believer in spirit
ualism. We quote As all item of
news of remarkable interest the fol-
lowing from his pen, taken from
the New York Mercury:
Alfred r. Wallace, ore of the
most illustrious of living scientists,
in regard to the truth OF Spiritual
ism:
"After the whole range of the
phenomena had been before the
world ten wears, and had convinced
skeptics, by tens of thousands-I
skeptics, be it remembered, Of conf
mon sense and more than common
acuteness-Americans of all classes, =
they were confirmed by the first
chemist in America, Prof. Robert
Hare. Two years later, they were
again confirmed by the elaborate
and persevering inquiries of one
of the first Americans lawyers.
Judge Edmonds; then by another
good chemist, Prof. Mapes.. In
France the truth of the simpler
physical phenomena was confirmed
bv A. de Gasplrin in 1854; and since
then French astronomers, matEema-
ticians, and chemists of high rank,
have confirmed them. Prof. Thury
of Geneva again COZ firmed them in
1856. In England, such man as
Professor de Morgan, DR.. Lockhart
II. Adolphus Trollore, DR..
Robert Chambers, Sergeant Cox, Mr..
G. F. Marley, as well as the Skepti-
cal Dialectical Committee, have in
confirmed large por-
ions of them; and, lastly, comes
Mr.. William Crookes, F. r. S., with
four years of research and unrestrict-
ed experiment with the two Oldest
and most remarkable mediums in
the world, and again confirmsalmost
the whole series. My position,
is that the phenomena of
SpirituaIism in their entirety, do
not require further confirmation.
Tn ey are proved quite as well as any !
Facts are proved in other sciences" !
This was said in 1874; and since a
hen there have been many other !
by men of science,
md others distinguished for their e
ability and culture. Among them
Prof. Zoellner and his associates, of $
5he Lelpsic University, deserve es- il
special reference. r

sufficient justification. The decision
of that judge is subject to a review
by the full bench, and it is absurd
to suppose that a majority of our
Supreme Court have that bias
against America or American inter
ests which this letter writer, through
out his entire article, seems to more
than insinuate, to be the impelling
motiveof the entire proceedings.
The following reference to the
Supreme Court seems so completely
destitute of sense, of manners, or of
any kind of relevancy, that we are
unable to assign any intelligent mo-
tive for its publication
1T is certainly to be hoped that
the warmth created by FIVE chunks
of wisdom sitting on one bench and
at one time will have a judicious
influence upon their thoughts and
generate a feeling of judicious pru-
dence when rendering their grand
finale" What good is to be accom-
plshed by the kind of literature of
which the above extract is sample,

GOOD WORK.

we nave recently had the pleasure
of examining specimens of the work
done in the mechanical classes oi
the Kamehameha schools, which are
more than respectable. They testify
IN way not to be gainsaid, to two
facts. First-that at least a consid,
cradle percentage of Hawaiian BOYS
have turn for handicraft of vari-
Gus kinds, and only need proper
instruction to become competent
mechanics and, second-that the
instruction provided in the above
named institution is well calculated
to bring out the latent mechanical
talents of the pupils.
The most conspicuous. because
the largest, of the articles coming
under our notice, was a model of a
truss bridge, constructed to scale
and complete in all its parts, from
design supplied by the Bureau of
Public Works. That this model.
which is about two feet and a half
long, is model in reality, and not
merely a toy, is shown by the test
applied; this little structure. of
which no single piece is as thick as
ones finger, supporting a dead
weight of five hundred pounds on
its center, without developing any
signs of weakness. The specimens
of turning work were also very
good, and included small clubs and
various other articles, all showing
accuracy of contour and good finish.
The most noteworthy article in this
line was croquet ball of koa wood,
turned by boy thirteen years old.
1t is claimed by those who are ex-
perts IN such matters, that to turn
ball with accuracy, is one of the
most difficult and delicate operations
1f the turning trade. So far as
could be discovered by the eye, this
Jall presented no deviation from a |
perfect sphere. A small wood seat |
chair, with considerable turning on
he legs and back, was apparently as
veil and as neatly made as it could
nave been done by a journeyman
,hairmaker.
Here is something practical, some
hing which common sense people
an appreciate and endorse. An
admitted evil of our times has been
he increasing tendency of young
nen to discard the fields of produc-
i've industry, and try to live by
heir wits. Within the last few
ears there has been somewhat of a
against this tendency
-mong the many signs of such re-
ction are the establishment of
echnical schools OF various kinds,
nd the engrafting OF mechanical
lstruction upon the curriculum of
lstltutions whose main purpose is,
r was, scholastic.
1t is a matter for rejoicing that
