A Verse From Il. w. Myers.

A Verse From n. w. Myers.
The first message ascribed to Mr.
Myers was a verse, though certainly
not of the distinction which marks
published poems. 1t follows:
Friend, while on earth with knowl
edge slight
had the living power to write.
Death-tutored now in things of might,
yearn for you and cannot write. :"
Myers is afterwards said to have
told how at death he passed into
complete unconsciousness.
THE period of oblivion was unusu
ally long with me. There was no link
between my utter unconsciousness
of things on earth. The last thing |
felt was the touch that closed my
eyes and the passage to the plane
l now occupy The transit was alb
solutely unknown to me and l am
not conscious of a return journey
as it were. When | communicate in
this way at least l am conscious of
a strain and effort, but | cannot note
the stages of the way"
Dead to Instruct World.
Several messages were prefaeed by
signs which at first appeared abso-
lutely meaningless and which had to
be taken into consideration before an
Interpretation could be found In
view of these alleged messages, w.
II. Stead states in the Review of Re
views he asked a woman who often
received messages from beyond by
means of automatic writing if she
would try to secure message from
Myers.
A long communication was received
to the effect that the dead man had
made many discoveries annulling
some conclusions at which he arrived
in life when writing of the human
personality, and that it was his inten-
ton ito make these discoveries
known to the utmost extent of my
power

REQUIREMENTS FOR 1908 BY
FUNDS.
"OuTLOON DIsCOuRAGING."

Mayor Bransford followed up the
lead given by the show of the need
for revenue, by making a speech, in
which he said the outlook for con-
tinuing improvements during 1908
was very discouraging, 1--WE need
$100,O00 for the city government this
year" declared the mayor, before
We begin to think of improvements,
100000 of this mus, go 10 pay Tor
the new water main and the inter-
ccpting sewer. which have already eN-
hallsted the bond fund issued for their
construction, and another $4,000
must go to connecting the intercept
ing sewer with the gravity sewer
Councilman w. Mont Ferry was
next to speak for the administration.
''rhe proposition" he said, lis wheth-
en- we shall issue bonds and allow pos
terity to help pay for Improvements,
or whether we shall raise the taxes
and let the present generation foot
the bill If we issue bonds, about
Sl95.O 0O will be credited back TO the
waterworks and sewer funds which
have been drawn on to pay Tor I'M
provements in those departments pro-
Vided for in part by the Sl,OOO,0OO
bond issue, three years ago This re-
fund will benefit the present tuNpay-
ers."
MURDOCH EMPHATIC,
Councilman Murdoch was the first
councilman to gather an what was be-
ing proposed. and to say frankly what
really was back of the present neces-
slty Tor money.
1T is an outrage he said TO put
that Kind of a proposition up 10 the
people of salt Lake at present Tho
tax is 80 high now that 1t amounts to
Slb a front foot per annum on business
property, That is going some. and IT.
this thing had been on the square the
members Of the council outside the ii,
nance committee should have known
about II weeks ago. But we haze been
kept in ignorance until today and
what are We going to do about II ~
the question which Is now put up TO as
The only thing Tor us 10 do is 10 quit
spending money until We have squared
ourself with the world, That Is what a
business man does when ho Is up
against IT,, ana / don't see why the city
should not follow the same course II
seems to me that the people who have
gotten us into this trouble by spending
more than The city could AFFORD In orr
der To make a record. should bc com
PEELED to get us out OF H."
REEDALLs REASON.
Mr. Reedall took up III, admlnistra-
lions slogan of more taxes or a bond
issue, by declaring that Los Angeles
had bonded the city for S2i 100 recent
IS and that salt Lake carried a very
small amount OF bonds for a city or
her size and that improvements Wore
absolutely necessary 10 the city's
