sPooKs IN A PHoNoaRAPH.
Remarks of the Departed Caught and
Recorded on the Cylinder.

RecOrQed on the Cylinder.
From the Washington Star.
Spirits that hover about seances in Wash
ington are up to the times. They have de-
manded monographs or talking machines"
to assist them in their work, and the earthly
beings who attend to their wants have pro-
vided them. THE touch of the hand that
vanished and the sound Of the voice that is
STILL" That Is part of a message or address
recorded on a phonograph cylinder by an
apparition claiming to be the materlalized
spirit of the late lamented John King,
pirate. Mr.. Kings head appeared at an
aperture in dark screen. The room was
dimly lighted. The photograph was out
side of the screen, and the horn or sound
receiver extended up so that it just touched
the edge of the aperture. Mr.. Cromelien,
the general manager Of the Columbia Pho
nograph Company, was outside of the screen,
and operated the little lever of the phono-
graph so as to set it going or TO stop it at
Mr.. Kings convenience. There was objec-
ton to Mr.. CromelIen's going behind the
screen, as it might have bad effect on the
manifestations. This all occurred in a house.
on street, where two spirit mediums ara
doing business in the usual way. Mr..
Cromelien was there with his phonograph
last night aud on the two nights previous.
A reporter listened to the voice of the pi-
rate king as ID was reproduced by the phon~
ograph. 1t was somewhat sepulchral, an
extra graveyard twaug being given to it by
the japanned tin horn through which it es-
capped out of the phonograph.
Tom Kings voice was not the only one thus
imprisoned. There was an address by Mr..
Wash Emmons, who, according to his own
statement, had no palate in life and has not
succeeded in picking up one YET in the after
life. So good many Of Mr.. Emmons' re-
marks consist of rather unintelligible guttur-
ais. Others of the cheerful circle of spirits
that have given their time toward making
the street seances interesting
also spoke. The mechanical ar
rangement in each case was
the same as in the case of John King. Some
of the voices are recorded with marvellous
distinctness The messages are all on about
the same level as the usual spirit message.
One spirit said it was like talking into an
empty barrel to speak into the photograph
horn. The photograph experiment was
tried because the spirit themselves, accord
ing to the statements made to the reporter,
clamored for it. One spirit, much inter
ested in the proceedings, claims to be the
immortal essence of Christy, the minstrel.
Chi isty proposes TO drum for the phono-
graph and make record of what is consid-
cred a wonderful performance even for a
spirit-the beginning of a rapid tattoo in
perfect time with light sticks made by
splitting clothespiu. This would have
been done last night, probably, but Christy
was in hurry to get away from the per-
formance In order TO see sparring match
at one of the theaters. He keeps up his in
terest in these things.
