The latest car to arrive in the local

mechanical principles of the car of
1908, which proved SO satisfactory that
they We're continued in 1908 with the
same success, are again to be seen In
the 1910 cars. The changes are those
of refinement, changes that make the
car more desirable from the Standpoint
of pleasure and such other changes
that Will lessen the now established

THE Rock of Ages" In cor
roboration of which quote from
a sermon of the Rev. H. D. G.
Maclochlan. In speaking of
spiritualistic changes he says !:
THE cause of this change in
public opinion has been a similar
change in scientific belief. It is
not more than 80 years ago that
orthodox science refused so much
as to investigate the things of
which we are speaking When
Sir William Crooks, the great
chemist, brought in his report
to the Royal Society of England,
in which he avowed his belief in
the leading phenomena of the
sceance room, his report was not
even taken from the table. But
since that day the history of
Galileoland his telescope, through
which the scientists of Puda re-
fused to look, has repeated it,
self.
Some IS years ago the soci.
ETY. for Psychical Research was
formed in England with such
names as Crooks, Myers, Rom
anes, Barrett, Eidgwick and 9th
ers on it's list of members, and
since that time telepathy, table
rapping, clairvoyance, clairaud-
fence, telekinesis, ASPIRATIONS,
naturalization, mental healing
and other phenomena, which
Prof. James of Harvard, aptly
calls residual have been investi-
gated. Mediums have been
transferred from back parlors,
where all sorts of trickery was
possible to the physical labora-
tories of the universities, They
have been put under conditions
of strictest control. Even the
traditional darkness has been
denied them. And still wonder
full results came. One after an
othe leading scientist entered
into these Investigations, skepti-
cal and contemptous, but came
out Of them believing in the facts
on the evidences of their own
sences.
Then the Rev. DR.. enumerates
certain facts rescued through
mediums at certain seances. 1
quote him as to results: "At the
latest series of sittings which
have come to hand held in the
University of Naples under the
direction of Prof. Bottazzi, all
these precautions we're taken:
yet objects were moved at q dis.
lance, phantom hands we're seen:
the scientific tests were satisfac-
torily made; and as direct evil
dence to the existance OF some
force hitherto unknown to sci
ence, but as real as kathode and
X-rays, a Morse telegraph KEY
was displaced by the psychic in
such a way as to leave a tracing
on a cylinder, photograph of
which may be seen in one of the
numbers of the annals of Phys.
ical Science.
A man who denies the phen.
smena of spiritism today is not
entitled to be called skeptic: he
is simply ignorant"
now quote the Rev. DR.. as to
his proof of future life "What
then is the gain 10 faith =? Much
in every way. In the first place
1t these things be so, it is no
longer unscientiflc to believe in
miracles. For upwards of fifty
years the whole tendency of
modern science has been to de.
ny the credibility of miracles"
