were courteous in answering questions,
but when it came to the point of giving
news they referred everyone to the Off
| Ger of the deck on board the battleship.
Visitors were received aboard the vessel
as usual, and hundreds inspected the big
| fighting craft besides the anxious ones
| who sought information on the New
| Hampshire.
| On board the flagship Louisiana, Rear
| Admiral Vreland convened a court of in
| quiry to determine the exact cause of the
| accident and place the responsibility. A
| number of the men who were on board
| the Inflated boat told their stories, and a
report of the findings of the court when
completed will be forwarded to the navy
department. Whether Midshipman G..
| Dec. Chevalier who was i'm charge of the
barge, testified could not be learned.
Neither could it be ascertained whether
Chevalier was at the hospital, where he
was taken delirious after the accident.
Various versions of how the accident
occurred We're in circulation today. The
generally accepted one however, was that
| the barge heavily loaded with sailors and
marines returning from shore leave, was
| towed into the heavy swells of passing
steamboat. Rising for a moment, the
barge was plunged into the trough and
was swamped.
Instantly the choppy water became dot
ted with struggling, shouting men inter-
| mingled with floating packages, suit cases
and personal belongings that the men-of-
warsmen were taking back to the ship
| The whistle of the little steam launch
which was towing the barge rent the air
| with sharp staccato calls for assistance.
Few boats were in the vicinity, how
| ever, for the river was running in white
! caps, kicked up by the strong wind. What
few there were put out quickly across the
200 yards that separated the capsized
craft and the shore. Many of the sailors
and marines were pulled aboard boats.
others held tightly to the swamped barge
Still others, unequal to the battle with
the heavy waves and the tide, floated up
stream and disappeared.
I, Medford, Mass, Oct. 2.-GOdfred d. c.
Chevaler, the midshipman who had
charge Of the tender of the battleship
New Hampshire when it capsized and
who personally saved the lives of Is of
his comrades, is Medford lad, the son
of Charles M. Chevalier. When in High
school a few years ago young Chevalier
was one of the most popular of the stu
dents, was an expert in drilling and took
several prizes and also played on several
school athletic teams. On his graduation
from High school he received an appoint
ment to Annapolis and later was assigned
to the New Hampshire.

Seeking the Light.

Professor Hysop said, In speaking of the somewhat
lengthy communications purporting to come from the
spirit world, that the question was whether one who
could make such of the word forms used In this
world might not give more details.
He is planning to make extensive researches, with
no professional mediums i'll his effort, TO come into
communication with Professor James. proceeding
which he could undertake with thoroughness had he
any funds available for that purpose. He receives no
salary from society, and railroad fares and other
expenses besides the payment OF stcnographers TO
take records the quest of the spirit world to be
more or less expensive.

In some cases 1t has, In my opinion been done, and
l would consider that existence after death has
been demonstrated. In order TO establish definitely
whether the spirit of James Is actually in
communication IT Will be necessary to have readings
from many mediums with cross references from one
to another.
''rhere are many things to be considered. The COM
muncations from the spirit will perhaps be affected
by the mind of the control and the mind of the
medium. In some cases. however, l have known
mannerisms and expressions to survive such trans
mission 1t may be. although do not profess to be-
lieve it. that the spirit Of Professor James In space Is
able to make impression upon thousand intcllects
AT once.

message. will receive the light which they need on
the hidden path OF spiritual development bringing
them into fellowship and communion with all that Is
best In the universe of God They who Will not seek
this for themselves must remain in the twilight"
Professor Hyslop falls to find In the alleged ON
munlcationS anything which suggests tho style OF
Professor james while writing here earth.
Some idea to the differences In the method OF ex
preston Of living savant and shade may be cleaned
from tho following quotation from Professor James
which appeared In Professor Thompson'I Proofs of
the Life After Death" which was largely a sym.
postum. In this the eminent Harvard psychologist
wrote-
when the Psychologist who thinks that his science
cuts Off all hopes of immortality pronounces the phrase
Thought Is function OF the brain he thinks of the
matter just rs he thinks when he says Steam Is
function of the steam kettle Light Is function of
the electric circuit Power Is the function OF the NOV
Ing waterfall In these latter cases the several ma
ernl objects have the function OF inwardly creating
or engenderlng their effects and Their functions muss
be called n productive function. Just so he thinks
that 1t must be with the brain
But In the world of physical nature productive
function of this sort is not the only kind of function
with which familiar. We have the permIssiye
or releasing function and have a ransmESive
function The keys OF the organ have only q trans
missvc function They open successfully the various
pipes and let the wind In the air chest escape in
Gus ways The voices of the various pipes consH-
tuted by the columns trembling they emerge. But
the air is not cngcndcred in the organ.
my thesis now is that when think Of the law
that thought is function OF the brain arc entitled
to consider also permsSivc of ransmssive function"
One OF the characteristics OF the style of Professor
James its force and clearneSS. he would in life
have scarcely used the involved language which is
employed IN these alleged communications. The rhet-
orc and nomenclature OF spirituasm somewhat tine
tured with the vocabulary Of Christian Science, have
developed little since the carly days of the practice.
The communications with the references to earth
planes and spirit planes couched In the mys-
argon which has been in vogue since the days
of the Fox sisters. SpirtunllSts and mediums have
insisted that this is the proper form for the spirits to
use in addressing morals here below and the for
muae have become set with the lapse OF time
Hundreds of communications said to have been
received from Professor James from circles of spirit
uasts all over the country, all expressing the same
inability to communicate and promising light yet to
come The burden of this psychic song is ''Tbe time
