Gently returned from FIVE years tour

demonstrating spirit power in the light.
The following are among The demonstra-
tons given:
SHADES open seance, as presented by
him before the leading scientific socie-
ties OF England, Austria, Germany and
France. Slade was by them subjected
to the most critical test conditions
There is not one member among them
but acknowledges that in the presence
OF Mr.. Slsde there is a wonderful power
and intelligence outside the body that
csn assume human form ard ann!hil-
ate distance; but what this power is
there is diversity Of opinion. a table
rises and floats in midair; flowers are
brought and passed through the au.
dience by invisible hands; spirit slate
writing; questions written and retained
by the interrogators will receive full
and intelligent answers.
This gentleman has acquired a wide
celebrity as medium. His seances are
given on the open stage in full glare OF
the electric lights. The wonderful power
displayed by Mr.. Slade can be explained
by no other theory than that which he
assumes, that he is capable OF invoking
departed spirits. Sergeant Cox, presi.
dent of the Psychological Society, Great
Britain, says: Il have been an advocate
OF spirisualistic phenomena for more
than thirty years, and if the manifesto
tions of MIR. Slade are not genuine, and
If it can be proven they are not, then 1

manifestations" A small admission

during January, besides a considerable
amount for sugar bounties, aside from
the ordinary expenses of the govern

these disbursements in sight, and re
