PSYCHIC FORCES.
Their Existence Proved, Yet Scientists
Cannot Grasp Them.

Their Existence Proved, Yet Scientists
Cannot Grasp Them.
I have seen enough to make me be-
lieve in zollner's fourth dimension.
but don't My mind is so constructed
that such wonders as we meet IN
seances produce very little effect on
ME. They are as normal to me now
as the popping of corn or the roasting
Of potatoes. But as for belief-well,
that is not matter cf the will, but Of
evidence, and the evidence is not vet
sufficient to bring me to any definite
conclusion. In fact, In the broad day
and especially the second day after
have been through one Of these ex-
periences begin to doubt my senses.
Richet speaks Of this curious recession
of belief and admits his own inability
to retain the conviction that at the mo-
ment Of the phenomenon was complete.
mo sooner is the sitting over than my
doubts come swarming back upon me, {"
he says. ''The real world which sur
rounds us, with its prejudices, its
scheme Of habitual opinions, holds us
In so strong a grasp that we can
scarcely free ourselves completely
Certainty does not follow on demon
stration, but on habit"
Maxwell says; II believe in these
phenomena, but / see no need to at
tribute them to any supernatural inter
vention. l am inclined to think they
are produced by some force within our
selves" Just what he means by that
/ can't precisely explain. It's harder
to understand than the spirit hypoth-
esis. He goes on to say that, while he
is certain that we are in the presence
Of an unknown force, he is convinced
that the phenomena will ultimately be
found orderly, like all other facts OF
nature. Some future Newton will
discover a more complete formula than
ours" he prophesies. Every natural
fact should be studied and, If it be
real, Incorporated In the patrimony of
knowledge" He then adds, with the
true scientists humble acknowledge
ment of the infinite reach of the undis-
covered universe, "Our knowledge is
very limited and our experience young"
