Monday to watch an aeroplane flight
by Prince Bolotoff. He was in the
Julia's bureau and Julia said to him,
through a clairvoyant:
( eif you go to Chalons I go with
you."
"Who speaks?" asked Mr.. Stead.
II have been dead some time. My
name is Lefebvre," came the answer.
Mr.. Stead, II had never heard Of the
death Of Lefebvre; had also never
heard his name."
do you know Bolotoff's areo-
plane?" the spirit was asked. eyes"
was the answer.
"Tell him to be very careful. l
don't think he will met with an ac-
cident. but he should observe care
fully every part of his machine. You
yourself should not go up"
The spirit of Lefebvre then StGrib-
ed how he met with the accl eed
how his spirit began floating b q
body lying on the ground.
Mr.. Stead asked: What was%
caused your rapid fall?"
II did not have time to think" was
the reply. you scarcely have time to
reflect when you fall"
''In your unexpected fall did you
keep your presence of mind?'
How 1t Felt to Fall.
"This is what felt. was con-
sclous that l was falling, but before
touching the ground l had lost con-
sciousness. l felt no pain nor any
sensation in my physical body. 1t
seemed to me that my spirit was pro-
jected out of it. had sensation
of rapid rotation. then something gave
way suddenly. and found myself in
the air. seeing beneath me my mortal
remains and the machine. 1t was not
disagreeable. observed. too, that q
being who was very powerful and who
calmed me was near me. and tomor-
row this same being will try to write
by your hand when you are at Chal-
ons." ....
In accordance with the words of the
spirit, Mr.. Stead warned M. Bolotoff
by telephone on Saturday evening,
and the aviator replied that he would
be on his guard.
On the Monday when Stead had ar
rived at Chalons the motor was care
fully examined and pronounced flaw
less by the experts.
When, however. NJ. Bolotoff at
tempted fight, the starting gear
broke, end the ascent had to be aban-
doned.

TALK WITH DEAD MAN
William 7. Stead Says He Spoke to
Lefebyre's Spirit.

London, Oct. 8.-William T. Stead
has afforded London the priceless
boon Of laughter. Some time ago he
opened Offices off the Strand which
he called Julia's bureau, which was
to be house of call for spirits, sort
of spiritual telephone exchange. Julia 8
bureau was to be run on strictly busi-
ness principles. Every applicant for
interview had to pay a fee of a
guinea. Mr.. Stead has. related In /,
Paris paper a story of how he him
self was in communication in Julia's
bureau with the disembodied spirit of
the French aviator Lefebvre. recently
killed at an aviation meet in France.
Talk With the Spirits.
That the author should not be with
out honor in his own country, the
London papers have published a
translation in extenso:
'"The members of Julia's bureau,
Stead says, meet every morning at 10
o'clock to confer with their directress,
who. visible to the clairvoyants, oc-
cupies the presidential chair of the
gathering. After prayer the members
read the messages received by Julia's
automatic secretaries. The clairvoy-
ant then covers his face with his
hands and describes the forms which
he sees, but which are invisible to the
others. and repeats the messages
which he hears.
Generally these messages concern
the affairs of the bureau. but some-
times spirits. attracted by the SYM
pathetic vibrations created by the lit
tie meeting, make their appearance
and deliver messages to those who
are present. 1t is an unexpected in
tervention of this kind which am go
ing to relate
The Voice Of Lefebvre.
Mr.. Stead proceeded to tell the
story as follows: 1t was on the morn
ing Of September 16. Mr.. Stead had
arranged on the previous day to 60 TO
Chalons. * France. ION ! the following

person to thirty days. An investiga-
tion quietly conducted by the postmas-
ter has shown that of the 1,O64 etters
recently called for by women at the
free delivery window during two days,
Ill bore fictitious names. eight of
these clandestine communications be-
ing called 70 rby girls under sixteen
years of age.
The postmaster has placed in force
some restrictive measures relating to
the delivery of letters to young girls.
He has required that before letters
are delivered to girls under age. they
shall explain to the superintendent of
delivery how it happened that their
mail was not sent to their homes. Flu
sive and unsatisfactorv replies gener-
ally have been made to such questions.

NOT SIGNALS

Berlin, Oct. S.-Prof. F. S. Archen.
dold, director of the Treptow astro-
nomical observatory, commenting yes
terday upon the idea that the canals
on Mars were constructed for the pur-
pose of signaling to the earth. said
he was unable to accept this view. In
his opinion the canals on Mars were
for the practical purpose of drawing
off the enormous masses of snow
water that evidently come from the
melting of the ice caps, and to pre-
vent inundation. This theory il con-
firmed by the fact that the canals.
which at other times are indistinct.
become sharply marked when t.
snow caps melt. and the profe6eoe
assumed that they are built BY throv.
ing dykes a few yards high.
