BRITISH SCIENTISTS MEET
Two Thousand Members Of Society
Discuss Technical Problems.

Birmingham, Eng Sept l0.-The
English Association for the Advance
mcnt of Science opened its annual
meeting here today with more than
1000 scientists i'm attendance. Sir OIL
liver Lodge the famous scientist and
educator, inaugurated himself into the
presidency and delivered the presiden-
tial address. Sir DIVERS address had
been anticipated with keen interest
ever since announcement was made
that is would deal with the subject of
the sequel To life. In some quarters
it had been forccastcd that the adj
dress would contain startling new eNl-
dcncc of survival after death and that
Sir Oliver would insist on the contin-
uity of life before and after death as
essential To science All predictions
of this character proved erroneous.
The famous scientist. who is probably
the worlds foremost leader i'm the field
of psAchical research, presented no
now evidence in support of the the
nry or survival after death. The ad-
dress was confined almost wholly To a
discussion of the continuity ot the
physical universe and its laws.
