A TEST THAT FAILEp.

Deep interest was aroused by the
Metropolitan Psychical society when
it announced that it would give $1,000
10 any one who would secure from
the spirit OF Professor William James,
the Harvard psychologist, state
ment of the contents of letter which
he wrote shortly before his death to
the secretary OF the society. Spirit
ualists all over the country were
quoted as saying that this would be
supreme test. In fact Professor
James said more than once that he
would send back some message from
the spirit world.
More than fifty spiritualistic me-
diums have presented themselves as
candidates for the prize. They have
submitted the expressions they have
secured from the spirit of Professor
James. The secretary of the psychical
society, who has the letter in his pos
session. and is able to have absolute
knowledge of the facts. says that
none OF the mediums has come within
shooting distance of getting the con-
tents of the letter. He says that each
one Of the fifty candidates for the
money has failed in every particular,
and that most have followed the
spiritualists' formula in vogue since
the days of the Fox sisters.
That none of the letters has the
slightest trace of any expression used
by Professor James in his epistle will
be regretted by many spiritualists all
over the country. who were taking a
deep interest in the test. The veil is
not yet lifted. 1t seems to hang with
reasonable stability between this
world of care and that mysterious
bourne from which no traveller re-
turns"

The mosquitoes haven't begun to
bite yet but their singing tricks are
likely being held off until August. The
usual coterie of mosquitoes and
chiggers are making themselves prom
inent by the red bump game they play
with the early campers. Pennyroyal,
earbolic acid burnt on shovel just
before you retire, and all of those
other home remedies perfume the
gentle breeze as it rocks the orees
along the shore and back in the woods
where the lizards are holding con-
sultation with the big black spiders
and the crickets.
The low river has done lots of
things-the newspapers of the coun-
try, the leading dailies and the
breezes from rural district editions
have said much about the water drop
ping away from the shore but every
one will have to be satisfied to await
next spring when the freshets come
in and the river proudly overflows the
banks, camp sites and tomato farms
once more.

check was alright. He requested tt at

What Local Youths Did.

Yesterday afternoon at half past
two, with bathing suits on and natty
white yachting caps perched on their
sunburned brows, two Keokuk youths,
tanned by the sun and water burned
into their tough young hides, ventured
carelessly to the Illinois side of the
river and rolled out of the frail craft
into the waters near the sandy shore,
the same as bull frog takes to the
moisture, standing up, the two local
sons waded with their boat out into
the middle of the river and kept
pushing it ahead of them. Without
stopping, they gained the Iowa shore
OF the river, .anding just below the
foot of Johnson street and clambering
out onto land, after having performed
a feat, the like of which has not
been done in years, probably since
the last lowest water mark, more than
forty years back.
