GENIUS SPIRIT
CALLS Up PASTOR
Minister Says He Has Secured
Communication With Late
Prof. William James
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

lOPecldt DiSPdtch 10 ne (dU
BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 4.-That Prof
William James, Americas foremost
psychologist, who died a week ago last
! Friday, has accomplished his expressed
desire to communicate from beyond the
grave if he found such phenomena to
be possible, is the statement made by
Rev Frederic A Wiggin of Brookline,
pastor of Unity church, and a spiritual
ist with whom Harvards great savant
had discussed this engrossing question
Professor James died at Chocorua
n. H, August 26, but DR.. Wiggin, who
has been attending convention of
spiritualists at Madison, Me. did not
learn the news until last Sunday. He
Immediately set himself to get in touch
with the spirit of the professor, and
declares that during an hours sum-
moning of his control, the spirit mani
tested itself.
The spirit of Prof. William James
manifested itself to me, just as he
promised it would says Dr. Wiggin.
Within week or so, believe that
my control will be thoroughly attuned
to the wave length vibrations of Pro
fessor James, DIR. James HysIop and
DR.. Richard Hodgson who passed over
in 1906. Professor James expressed
deep interest in the communication sent
through my control by Hodgson and
promised that he could do the same if
ba tn Sast vii
to communicate.
when / learned for the first time
last Sunday that Professor James had
passed on 1 retired to my room and
in sections sought to summon my con-
troll. Ever since 1 have been on my
vacation my control has been weak
ened or has disappeared altogether for
days at time. In my individual case
control seems to take vacation about
the same time that l do.
with my control weakened | felt
that it would be difficult to attain full
communication at first, for you must
know that a man of Professor James
high intellectual type will emit from
his spirit very high vibrations As we
have estimated these vibrations they
vary from so in a weak spirit to about
rs in the genius, and | know that Pro-
fessor James vibrations must be at the
latter rate. To receive these spirit
vibrations the control must be strong.
MY control came to me after a
time and L experienced a strong in
timation of a presence in the room.
My conscious mind could not translate
from the subconscious mind the iden-
tity of the presence Yet 1 feel posi-
tive that the presence that remained
there and that 1 have felt every night
since is that of Professor James.
When l established communication
with the spirit of Doctor Hodgson it
began in the same way

Bathing Suit Scene

Later in the same year Miss Cramer

by appearing at the San Rafael baths

some gossips said was of directoire
cut. Whatever its pattern, Miss era
mer said it was safe and sane and con-
servative In November of that year
the fair girl of San Rafael had trouble
with shoe maker of San Rafael, who
made pair of slippers for her on his
smallest lasts, but they were too large
for the Cinderella feet of Miss Cramer
and were rejected.
On December %. 1908, Miss Cramer
utilized her beauty to it's highest ad-

The Prize Beauty

In March, 1907, the people of Cali
fornfa and the world first learned OF
Miss Cramer's wonderful gift of pull
chritude. Before that time her friends
and townsfolk in San Rafael knew of
her beauty. But the world was in ig-
norance. But on March 5, 1907, Miss
Cramer won third place in the beauty
contest conducted by The Call Out of
thousands of contestants Miss Cramer's
charm was considered almost unparal-
leled. Three girls of rare beauty won
special recognition, and Miss Cramer
was among the three beauties
Since then adventures have crowded

The Holdup

On July q. 1907, she was driving
through the woods of Marin county
when a desperate highwayman stepped
out into the road to stop the team in
which Miss Cramer and her escort were
driving. The escort did not intend to
be held up, so he dashed the horse The
highwayman filed with cagrin, leveled
is revolver to shoot at the flying cou-
pie, but his eye, through the sights of
his weapon, caught the beauty of Miss
Cramer. His aim wavered. 1t was too
late to stop the pressure on the trigger,
but happily the sight of the wonderful
face of the girl destroyed the aim of
the robber and the bullet went wild.
In January, 1908, Miss Cramer
planned to go to Paris, where her aunt
lived, and study for the stage But she
changed her plans, preferring Califor-
MAS charms to the effete civilization

SUPERIOR G. GLOBE.

Exploratory work is being steadily
prosecuted at the property Of the SUI
perior & Globe Copper company, To-
Gated about FIVE miles northeast of
Globe, says the Silver Belt. From the
bottom of the eighty-foot winze, sunk
from one of the drifts on the 650-fooi
level, prosecuting has been done to
explore both the foot wall and hanging
wall of tho fault The foot-wall was
reached with about ten feet of cross
cutting and with about eight feet OF
driving the hanglng-wall was encoun-
tered. The crosscutting was attended
with some difficulty due to the amount
of water prevailing at that depth. So
far as explored, the fault contains only
vein matter carrying a high percentage
of iron, but no copper.
The crosscut driven north from the
working shaft on the 650-foot level is
now being extended. A few weeks ago
the driving of this crosscut was dis
continued temporarily at distance OF
$50 feet from the shaft. The crosscui
