There are several metals iron, cop

to each special instrument is attracted;
sometimes slightly. also, to one of the
other metals, but always strongly to its
own speciality.
Now, my friends, you have seen some

may say; for it all seemed like dream.
The gentleman was gone, and we had
only the Traveller and our recollection
with us.
We pulled ourselves together, lounged in
our chairs and for awhile, in silence,
added a new perfume to the already
sweetly scented air.
The Traveller broke the silence, saying:
"My friends part of my story has been
told to you in way that l could not
have told it; it is only the beginning;
l have seen much 1 can perform but lit

proof of the existence of this almost I'M

the light of day and the realm of useful

its occasional exhibition by adopts. We

The setting sun was gliding the silver
domes and the moorish lunettes far aloft
were brilliant crescents of golden light;
shadows were creeping along the broad
piazzas as we strolled between the beds
of beautiful flowers, whilst hooking birds
sang vespers in the orange trees near by.
The Tampa bay is certainly unique.
That night we sat up late discussing
what we had seen. Each one had some
| strange tale to tell, some strange expert
ence to relate but to all, this exhibition
as We called it, had been entirely new. We
! concluded that it was probably all in
line with table tipping, planchette, Geor-
ola wonder etc, in which the known laws
of physics were apparently set aside.
What could we do but think and talk?
there was the switch, however, and We
determined to try this on the morrow.
Accordingly next morning we went to
| the scene of the exhibition, and after
/ many trials found that three of our num-
| her possessed this influence, power, or
| whatever it may be called; as the switch
| acted in their hands identically as in the
| hands of the gentleman.
! This was something more tangible, and
now we must know more, and, as some of
our group would soon leave us we deter

now He was informed of our wishes,

hoped we were again listening to him at
