Says That Science OF Vital
Magnetism
Is Yet In It's Infancy Will
Develop.

A short time ago there came to the
! Capital Office a letter from h q. Lyons,
! a prominent farmer living near BeiIs
ton. which had its inspirations IN the
public demonstrations held in the Grahd
! opera house by the Boy RhelomehoIl
/ last March and which IS quite lntefest-
/ ing. as we'll as technically correct, eX-
planation of the science of Vital Mag
netisn. Mr.. LYONS is an old resident Of
! the county and is prominent man II II
his section of the country He is Wen
1 known by a large number OF persons
who Will believe what follows Wnen
they know that he wrote II, ana Ol MS
Mr.. Lyons for years has been close
student and observer OF vital Magnet
ism, through which marvellous power
the Boy Phenomenon affects his aston
! ishfns cures AS a result Mr.. Lyons IS
one Of the best informed men on TINS
subject in this section OF the country.
| He recognizes the fact that the scleIee
! of Vital Magnetism is as yet practically
! in its infancy and that there is great
/ future ahead for it. In fact, MI Lyons
| predicts that the time Will come when
| colleges for it's study VIII be maintain
ed by the states for the purpose OF de-
veIoping those unusually gifted with
this wonderful power.
The letter from Mr.. Lyons was entire
| lv unsolicited. In an explanatory note
at the conclusion Of 1t ne states mat !
he wrote the letter in the interest OF
the afflicted and sick. 1t is a timely
article that will be of especial interest
to those who know Mr.. Lyon For tnat
reason 1t is reprinted below Ihe lel1ei

ssrrhe basic part Of human existance
is that we live in vast sea OF mag
netism, or magnetic current, tnat puts
US in touch with one another, as nsn
are in touch in the Watery element ana
more it is Impossible for US to exercise
our thinking power without vibrating
that magnetic element. 1t is under these
conditions we come into being
AS we develop We begin sendlnS out
from US. unconsciously, magnetic lines
or currents that are peculiar to our per
sonality This process begins with the
cradle and ends only with the grave,
and from start to finish, is governed oy
fixed natural laws that We can neither
abrogate or change Hence, wisdom
teaches that we should learn OF our pos
sibilities under these laws
