Kalamazoo Cor. Chicago Chronicle.
 Mary A. Kidder, aged IA years. has startled this city by her revelations of celestial regions.
 Hundreds of people have visited the young woman at her home in the south eastern part of the city and have been wrought to high state of excitement by messages from the dead and revelations of the future.
 The girl falls into from one to three frances a day. during which time, she says, she is in heaven, where angels flock about her and reveal to her the past and the future. Miss Kidder has startled the people half out of their wits by describ- ing things that happened fifty years ago and some of her descriptions of past events have been so accurate that her visitors have been astounded.
 The young woman tells of departed peo- pie who were unknown to her and brings messages from shades to the living. Her descriptions of heaven and the inhabi- tants of the celestial region are glowing and graphic and the very greatest inter- est is manifested in her messages, both by physicians and scientists and by Spir- itualists and believers in clairvoyance.
 Miss Kidder foretells the details of her own death and that of her father and mother. She tells of conversations with angelic beings and describes graphically her visions of heaven. She says: T can't tell just what the sensation is like; I can't tell when the trance is coming. It just strikes me suddenly. I lose control of my body and seem to be carried up up-up to an almost unimaginable height The air seems soft and fans my face. I fly through the clouds and then suddenly I know I am in heaven. About me stretches a great city, but there are no houses nor streets. Beautiful white-robed angels are singing and talking and sail ing through the air. am flashed through two immense, white, pearly gates. and then the whole beauty of the place is be- fore me.
 Angels Have No Wings.
 "Colors of every hue and description and the most beautiful music ever heard are on every side. I seem to know all the people there and they come to me and talk. It all seems so strange to me. The angels tell me their names and when I come back here and repeat them and de- scribe what I have seen I find the living realtives of the angels right here and they look at me and wonder
 "No words can describe what heaven really is. I try to cry out my joy, but find I can move neither hand nor foot. One of the spirits told me that when I dled would be free to move just as they
 
 pass through the air. They have no wings, nor do they walk. They just seem to be taken through the air in any direction they wish to go."
