SPIRIT OF FUNK
TALKS TO HYSL0P

New York. Nov. 26.-From beyond
the orbit of Arcturus or possibly
where Aldebaran blinks her red eye
in the constellation of the Bull, DIR.
Isaac Kaufman Funk, once head Of
the publishing firm of Funk & Wag-
nails and editor of its works has sent
through TIE void his messages to DIR.
James H. Hyslop. secretary of the
American Psychical Society.
Dr. Hyslop admits having received
messages from the dead publisher,
but until DR.. Funk has been fully
identified" he does not wish to make
the messages public.
THE communications themselves
are not of such vast Importance, said
Dr. Hyslop; lit is personal identifi-
cation which will prove the point"
Benjamin f. Funk, present vice
president of Funk & Wagnalls is not
spiritualist, but he told today of a
mystifying experience. which makes
him reserve his judgment on the
question of messages from his broth
er He went to a psychic medium
and asked for his brothers spirit, but
was told that both his brother and
his mother wished to speak to him.
Mr.. Funk asked for some evidence
of their identity and his mother sent
him this message: Why don't you
put back the leaf you cut out of the
old family Bible? Return it to the
proper place"
II thought for moment and re-
piled l knew nothing of the matter.
NV mother then said: You will find
ii underneath some papers in the
bottom of your bureau drawer. You
ought to put that leaf back in the BIZ
BILE. 1t was the family book to COM
fort and help us all. "
on returning home, Mr.. Funk made
a search and found the missing leaf
from the Bible in the bureau drawer.
1t bore a record of births and had
been cut from the Bible because
some of the family did not want their
! ages revealed to persons who picked
up the book.
