Mr.. Lewis said that be had never seen
a really and truly ghost In all his young
life but that be had got some wonderful
information from mediums and from

Young Mr.. Lewis then gave Q great deal
Of inside information about the psychic
vibrations that tremble out Of the. human
body. As near as q low brow could gather
from the lecture these vibrations emanate
from the ego like the smell from an auto
power. Long ago IL was discovered, 1t was
learned. that the psychic vibrations can
move material bodies. II driven 70 1t the
vibrations could eject q five cent kicker al

just what this mystic power is, alas. we
don't know, but q young man properly primed
can doubtless find out.
One thing the Institute for Psychical
Research ss positively will not put up T n,sn
simply will not stand for II:

why, I've heard the spirit-.or he said be

does when he comes a to earth is TO

Now that doesn't seem right, does itI Why
don't these ghosts say something worth

literature in the form Of magazines and
pamphlets was gathered from the ghost
chasers to start a .psychic library. Inc
