flowers and sprigs from the garden have been
thrown upon the table. The thoroughness of
the preliminary search convinced the stters
that nothing of the kind concealed in the
room or upon her person. 1t is of course in
conceivable that they could have passed
through the solid walls or the window glass
And yet, unthnkable as such solution must
be, Flammarion reports sitting of his own at
which a book apparently seen to pass
directly through the substance of the cabinet
curtain. Concerning this phenomenon while
frankly admitting that in order to be scien-
tificaly sure of such abnormalities they should
be observed not once but hundred times
comment.
1t seems to us impossible that matter could
pass through matter. However, | take
piece of ice and place it upon a napkin; | set
both on strainer into the oven; the ice melts,
passes through the napkin, and falls into
basin. | put the whole thing into a freezing
machine; the water congeals again. The
piece of ice has passed through the napkin; its
weight is the same as at first. 1t is very sim
pie, you think 1t is simple only because we
understand it. Of course the case is not the
same as that of the book. Yet after all it is
matter passing through matter, after trans
formation of its physical condition. We
might seek explanations, invoke the hypothesis
of the fourth dimension, or discuss the non
Euclidian geometry. 1t seems more simple to
think, on the one hand, that these experiments
not yet sufficient for to make an abso-
lutte affirmation, and that on the other hand
our ignorance of everything is formidable and
forbids us to deny anything.

Keynote to the Situation

THIS last statement may serve as a keynote
to the present position of the majority of
scientists engaged in psyChical research not
only in the Paladino case, but in many prob
lens of a similar nature. Yet those who still
question the practical utility of these investiga
tons (and they are many should not forget
that such an open minded conviction of ig
norance is the first step toward the acquisition
OF knowledge. And in spite OF the battling
perplexities other useful ends have already
been served by such inquiries One great adj
vantage is in the elimination of the spiritistic
hypothesis from many of the problems to
which it formerly seemed to be applicable.
Paradoxical as is the statement, this result
should be equally welcome to Spiritualists and
to their opponents. To the former its utility
is in clearing the ground and thus bringing
more sharply into prominence that stubborn
residuum of cases which still, to many clear
minded and unprecedented observers, seem to
demand this theory.
cumulative records of the various societies.
Single instances of phenomena are easy to
overlook or to explain away. At best they
prove little; but in body of thousands of
cases, tested, examined, and classified, the
material is at hand from which the constructive
scientist may be expected to deduce and prove
the operation of new natural laws. Already
such results have been obtained in the field of
psychology to the enduring benefit especially
of those who suffer from abnormal nervous or
mental conditions hitherto not understood.
There is no reason to doubt and strong reason
to believe that our knowledge of physics may
soon be similarly extended.

Don't You Wish To-day Was Yesterday

The little lad stood at the window
And watched the driving rain,
And heard the weary wind that moaned
Eerily at the pane.
No chance to-day for outdoor playl
With tiny finger tips
He drearily drummed disconsolate-
Wistful his eyes and lips
eve had such good time Yesterday"
He shook mournful head;
Don't you wish to-day was yesterday"
The plaintive voice soft said.
:" Do l wish to-day was yesterday?
Dear heart, hardly know:
Mine was a glorious yesterday;
But it seems so long ago!
when for me this day will pass away,
With all it's loss and sorrow,
shall have only yesterday,
But you will have-to-morrow!"

Don't Cheat Ali the Time

CONCERNING the general question of
ence of forty years in investigations of this
kind, says, "One may lay it down principle
that all professional mediums cheat. But
they do not always cheat, and they possess
real, undeniabe psychic power. Because
a gross error to conclude that hysteria does
not exist. And because mediums frequently
descend to brazen faced imposture it would
not be less absurd to conclude that medium
ship has no existence"
There are indeed some types of Eusapas
by any fraud possible under the conditions
by the theory of fiuidic projection. A notable
example of these will be found in what are
known as "apports," objects brought into the
room from outside, regardless of the fact that
