His pious thoughts he daily wrote.
Thinking that they came from Hea-

Twice every day in seven.
Tn his old age God called and said:

And he cried from out the steeple.
Where art thou Lord?"
And the Lord replied:

That is a beautiful hymn that Mrs.

others close by on the same subject

national motives and national conclusions have

cleared away, and the victor realized his victory
The war with spain is unlike its predecessors
problems which may not be solved lightly.
These problems are being formulated by the
political parties and before they can be definite.
~ settle at the ballot box it is necessary that
the people be informed in regard to the situa-
tlon. The result, of the campaign of 1900 will
make broad mark upon the page of history it
will doubtless establish the policy of the great

following question: "Have you ever had
While awake the impression of having
seen human being and had that i'm
preston coincide with the time Of the
death of that persona" The astrono-
mer tells the result of his investigation
in the Nouvelle Revue
He had 1880 responses, of which
2,456 were negative and 1874 affirma-
tive. OF the affirmative replies he ex-
amined 1872, who recited 1,12O cases, all
of which he regards as authentic. In
his article NJ. Flammarion merely gives
the experience of the subjects as re-
lated to him and does not attempt to
account for the premonitions.
1t might be said, however, that the
fact that 40 per cent of those who
wrote to him had had telepathic ex-
per1ences does not indicate such an
average among the human family. The
three periodicals whose readers he ask
ed for information have large circu-N
lation. and it is safe to say that every
reader who has had premonitions of
the death of a friend wrote to Flam-
marion. while the others would not re-
gard it as worth while.
