from in International Con-
test at Zurich.

ZURICH, Oct. 5.-Chances of an
American victory in the great balloon
race for the Coupe Internationale des
A~eronautics, which started Sunda..
are regarded today as exceptionally
good because the only American en-
try, Edgar w. Mix, Is not yet known
to have landed and is presumed to be
still in the air. Six of the balloons en-
tered in the contest are still to be heard
from.
Mr.. Mix is known to be daring and
will likely remain aloft until the very
last minute. His chances of victory
were regarded as exceedingly favorable
from the first day that he made his
appearance here.
While he was passing over Bohemia
he dropped the following note: Raining
continually for two hours. We are
voyaging northeast. Have used sixteen
bags of ballast"
A great sensation was caused by a
telegram which has arrived from Lieu
tenant Sehaeck announcing that he
had landed In the vicinity of Strelitz.
He tells of much rain and fog. The
news sent a thrill through Switzer-
land.

TELEPATHY EXPLAINED.
Dr. W. w Baker Addresses Thee
sOphieaI Society.

Psychic possibilities and telepathy'
was the subject OF Dr.. ". W. Baker s
discourse yesterday morning before the
.TheosophicaI Society az I517 H street. He
claimed that clairvoyance and clairauti-
ence could be cultivated by Raja Yoga
practice to an extent that would virtually
make communication with astral plane
Inhabitants a condition OF the waking
consciousness.
1T all depends" he said. upon the
evolution Of faculties which enable an
extension OF the consciousness sufhcient
to sense the subtler vibrations OF matter
much finer than is found on the physical
plane.
The pineal gland IS the organ OF the
brain that acts as an instrument for
thought transferenee. In telepathy mes
sages may be sent from brain TO brain
by etheric vibration, the same as in wire
less teIegraphy. or the message may be
transmitted from mind to mind. Actual
words are not necessary; it is only needed
that the idea conveyed may be clear and
distinct, and that the brain OF the re-
ceiver may be attuned TO the point OF
receptivity.
The pituitary body. another organ Of
the brain, Is used in true clairvoyance.
and the time VIII come when. through
the practice taught by theosophy. our
view viii reach beyond the physical into
the higher planes OF existence that now
surround Us on every side"

Richmond. Va. June 20-The guberna-

There is more talk to-day about the race
than there has been since Stuart with

pleasing all the ''anti-machine'' men IN

always fought machine" politics and
will continue TO fight it. and who has
recently made a trip over certain sections
Of the State, said few days ago.
I believe that Mr.. Tucker is making
great lu-AL4ke IN not ALlsElnB DlllSetL IN
more positive manner with the fight
against the machine. which Is now DON'T
mating State politics Evidences are
everywhere received that some OF the
machine men are going to support
Tucker, and II IS probable that this is
the reason he does not go on record as
opposed 10 the machine but II Is in
credible that Mr.. Tucker can believe that
these men are going 70 do any great
amount OF work for him. They viii
content themselves with casting their
vote for him. II they did otherwise. they
would be relieved Of their leadership IN
