sciences are deeply interested in and
making a close examination of mysteri-
Gus happenings in the household Of Mr..
and Mrs George Jennings, of Temple
street, Mount Washington. HaverhiIl.
Those who have heretofore believd par
tally in telepathy or the communion of
souls, have had their faith confined by
the authenticated story Of how young
girl saved her father from death while at
a distance from him, while many of those
who have placed no faith whatever in oc-
cult things have been compelled to as
sumo more tolerant attitude toward
believers in the cult

which is attracting so much attention
among the seekers after the mysterious
and the occult, are as follows: One
killed, one saved.

gates, there arrived at the crossing James

men and the police who came after the
body with patrol wagon. 1t was 9:42 IN
the evening.
