IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.

In Sir Oliver Lodges recent mono
graph, The Immortality of the Soul
we lind some striking and suggestive
reasoning, and likewise some omissions.
The English professor, in connection
with the Society for Psyehical Re
search, has recently been investigating
evidence as to the eenuineness of the
so-called spirit manifestations. In the
August Harpers he makes the some
what significant declaration that he Is

legitimate to grant that lucid moments
of Intercourse with deceased persons
may in the best cases supervene, amid
a mass of supplementary material. quite
natural under the circumstances, but
mostly of presumably sublminal and
less evident kind
This position throws light on what we
have termed omissions in his argu-
ment FOR the Immortality of man
He evidently relies less than most other
writer's upon what may be termed the
analytical arguments derived from
psychology and metaphysics and moro
upon these more direct manifesto

| ments have been. and It contains more
than double the amount of information
usually given In the text Of similar
publications for other states.
We observe that this edition tells the
facts about the geography the indus
tries. and the development of Utah In a
form calculated to interest the pupils.
The facts are clearly and forcibly
brought out in concise and vivocious
descriptions. II should thrill the minds
of our youth thus to contemplate the
varied beauties the natural marvels
and the Industrial possibilities of their
home state.
So. too, the brief historical notes are
sufficiently detailed and comprehens-
i've TO cause the reader to be proud of
the achievements of the founders and
builders of this commonwealth.
We should think, moreover. that this
accurate and striking exposition of the
resources and attractions of Utah
would be precisely the kind of litera-
ture to be placed in the hands of tour
lists, homeseekers, and strangers gen
orally. Such II text should be of use to
actual Investors, so SUCCESSFULLY does
It Indicate the SPECIFIC nature Of the
opportunities offered to enterprise in
this wonderful region. Though tho
statements concerning the physical
features of Utah are clothed in the sim
pie and moderate language that befits
a good text book, yet they glow with a
genuine enthusiasm and exhibit vivid
reality that is very refreshing.
AS a school text. the chapter on Utah
ought to be an inspiration to any teach
err. Certainly the present treatment of
home geography calls for far more time
and study of our own state than have
ever been given to it hitherto, even in
our best schools. To shorten what is
told to pupils about foreign countries,
and to increase what they learn, or
see, or investigate about their own
is the plain tendency

URGES CALIFORNIANS
TO USE THE RIFLE
Authority Says a Nation OF

Calling attention to the unprepared-

eign invasion, Senator Marc Anthony
has begun an aggressive campaign for
the establishment OF civilian rifle clubs
throughout the state of California SEN
ator Anthony has addressed an open
letter to the citizens Of California in
which he urges the formation OF such
organizations With the letter is in
closed the draft OF a resolution which
is to be introduced in the legislature,
indorsing the project.
Senator Anthony calls attention to a
bill passed by congress which author
ICES and encourages the organization Of
rife clubs and provides for the sale Of
regulation rifles at the cost to the
army. Clubs may be organized in any
act. and must have minimum mem
bership of 20. These clubs then become
affiliated with the national rife asso-
citation, an organization with govern
mental sanction In his letter Senator
Anthony says:
AN expert rifeman cannot be made

the period likely to be embraced be-
tween the declaration and decision of q

people OF this country for proficiency
with military rifles would be a factor

SOCIETY GIRL AS
A FIGHTER OF FIRE
Single Handed She Attacks the
Flames Which Threaten
Many Fine Homes
Holds the CanflagratiOn in
Check Until Arrival of the
Department

SAN ANSELaMO. Sept. Miss Ednid
Ackerman. the Is year old daughter OF
Edward Ackernlan, one time manager
fornia opera house in San Francisco
was the heroine of spectacular fire
that destroyed the hedges about the
eral acres of pasture land this after
noon.
The mansion was in grave danger OF
burning when the San Anselmo fire de-
partment arrived. and it was oniy
through the greatest efforts on their
part that the house was saved, and the
fire extinguished before it attacked
other homes in the vicinity,
Miss Aekerman and her mother were
sitting on the front veranda of the
home when a little burst of flames was
seen issuing from the end of the high
hedge growing furthermost from the
house. Miss Alderman rushed to the
place and attempted TO extinguish the
burning bushes with a green branch.
The hedge was dry and tne flames
gained more headway with each sue
ceeding second.
Screaming to her mother TO telephone
for the fire department, the girl ran
to the back of the house and procured
hedge in front of the flames and work ed
heroically to make a gap before the RED
line could reach TO her. Aided by the
wind, however the flames crept on up
the hedge. and spread out sidewise in
the dry grass. The red line was ap-
preaching the house. The girl still
battled on stubbornly.
When the fremen arrived the flames
had spread to the orchard and were
consuming everything in their path
way. The house was surrounded on
two sides by the fire, and Miss Acker-
man was all but exhausted from her
frantic efforts to quell the flames. This
evening she is receiving congratula-
tions of friends
Before the fire was under control the
home of r. Ellsworth was in such
grave danger that the household effects
were removed. In the house lay year
old Ruth Ellsworth. who is very sick,
and no efforts were made to move her
until it was thought that the house
would go.
