and ii she was glad TO come back; to
which Miss Lampmsn replied that in
going away she could not discover her
earthly abode, but on her return she
could see it at great distance.
1t is to be regretted thet the spirit
could not have delayed her departure
from the mystic land in order to obtain
full particulars about matters that
would have been of incalculable benefit
to the dweliers OF the earth. For ine
stance, the problem Of aerial navigation
would have been solved forever. No
Reilly reiunding bill or Mathews bill
ia necessary in that higher sphere.
Dress reform is chestnut there. Inns
guages are unknown. Temperance
unions are out of date, since only water
can be obtained.
HER TRAVELS DESCRIBED.
But let her tell the story of her trip in
her own language:
when lett this earth, she said, 81

seated on chair and suddenly shot up
like balloon. At times l could see and
sometimes I could hear, but was almost
blind. When left the chair mulatto.

me on the entire trip. On the other
side OF me was female ohsperon. but

but ON old-fas hioned vessel. saw
rivers and mountains and fouEtains.
One OF the prsttiess sights that pre-
sented itself to me WAS an Egyptian
h0ma- Oh il was haautifuI ~
Have they homes there as we have
here ?" asked one of the ladies.
On this subject Miss Lampmsn'
memory was not very csar. She de-
clarsd,t that some had homes, made OF q
kind OF purple trees, while others we're
in the mountains leading somewhat of
tramp life. The air WAS not as white as
on earth, it was OF yellowish blue
character. The trees are not quite as
green as on the plain, but the foliage il
most beautiful. Every thing sounds
like music-in fact, there ia music in
the air. No one converses as we mort
ais do; they speak by sigma. Or come
thing Mics Lampman could not explain.
She travelled through one long mouu~
tain pass called Brocsde Ravine, where
every thing was made OF silvsr and white
metal.
do they eat there?" asked man
who weighs about 200 pounds.
"Oh, yes" replied Miss Lampman,
I'VE had fruit, plums and very small
apples. Quite AN amusing incident hap
psned. There were long rows of tables
at that eating station in the mountaina,
and everywhere were fountains OF pure
water that aeemed to throw streams
over the tables. | tried to dodge the
water, but could not escape coming in
contact. Yet | found that it did not
reach me or the tables, and only sup

but l was Immediately supplied with
another dress. l was dressed all the
time in white"
WILL TELL THE BALANCE LATER,
Miss Lampman declared that she was
tired. and although che saw the scenes
Of her journey plainly she could not de-
scribe them at this time. She was tired,
but she had seen so many spirits and
had 40 many messages to deliver to
friends on earth that she needed time
to collect her thougts.
MEDICAL MANS OPINION.
1t was noticed yesterday that Miss
Lampman's tongue was heavily coated
after the spirit had once more entered
her body. and that che acted like one
who had been under the influences of
an opiate.
On the previous day, at the 6rst call
of The HERALD reporter. he invited Dr..
E. A. Bryant to accompany him in order
to obtain his views from a scientific
standpoint.
1T is raw, 80 raw that it would make
California oyster on the half-shell
blush," was the DOCTORS exclamation
He stated that the woman either feigned
sleep or was resting under the influence
of light opiate. Her breathing aud
the movements OF the muscles that could
be noticed through the bedsprsad showsd
clearly that ehe was not in a comatose
condition, but that she was sleeping or
feigning sleep.
