SPOOKS ARE EASIER
SEEN IN AMERICA
Vice Admiral of England Also
Has Talked With Cleopatra

LONDON. Dec. 24.-Vice Admiral w.
Osborne Moore is spiritualist who
speaks with a quiet conviction of the
reality of the strange things he has
seen. That was how he impressed a
London audience, fashionable and at
tentive, the other evening, when he told
how he had gazed in turn upon the
forms of Cleopatra and Sir Isaac New
ton and spoken with them.
He has been a spiritualist for some
years and has held seances in both
America and England, but he said, at
is in America that the best results are
obtained, because the atmosphere is
more pronouncedly electric there than
in England.
'It was in America that l saw the
forms of Cleopatra and Hypatia and
the voice of Sir Isaac Newton spoke
OF course, they may have been persona
tions," he naively added. but in abb
sence of evidence to the contrary l be-
lieve in what l saw and heard"
The admiral also had the remarkable
experience OF attending a seance where
two separate voices spoke, one in each
ear, and a third addressed him from
the front, the medium also speaking
at the same time. Occasionally the
spirit voices would cease talking to
him to argue with one another.
