Automobiles Collide.

About dusk last Tuesday Mr.. W. A.
Brownlee, manager of the Big Pine
Lumber Co., and Mr.. Ed. Lowery, ma
chinist for the same company, figured
in an automobile collision that came
near proving serious. Mr.. Brownlee
was coming down the graveled road in
front of the w. C, Williams house. on
Railroad Avenue, and Mr.. Lowery was
just turning into the same road, the
two cars colliding at the corner of the
Williams lot. Fortunately the cars did
not capsize, and none of the occupants
were injured. but Mr.. Lowery's car is
laid up for considerable repairs, it being
the lighter of the two cars.

Mrs. Green, the .chalk" lecturer on
temperance. who has a national fame
on account of her ability to talk and
draw pictures with almost lightning
rapidity while talking, gave four fine
lectures in Colfax on last Sunday, two
lectures each at the M. E. and M. p.
churches. She also lectured Saturday
night at the M. P. church. Her quick
production of the scenes she talks about
are made with white and black and col
ored chalk crayons, and are wonderful
" and skillfully drawn, and there seems
to be no end to the numerous sugges-
tive scenes with which she points her
temperance talks.

Science simply refused to look at

Alfred Russell Wallace, who has just

his time. For a long time before his

those who went off chasing r~ainbows.
He was opposed 10 vaccination. and

He believed tina the scientists Of
the nineteenth century committed a
great mistake in adopting vaccination.
The preSent-day theory of immunity
on which most Of the progress Of
medicine is based had lot developed
AT that time, n doubtless the logical
mind OF Wallace rejected vaccination
because il seemed to him unscientiic.
Another great mistake of science.
according to his belief, was the re-
lection OF the scientific world OF the
whole theory Of phrenOlogy. Wallace
believed that there was in p~hrenOlOgy
something which should have been

thought he saw in the spiritistic phe-
nomena a great body of fact which
science should study, collate and, if
possible, develop into a science.
The announcement by the daughter
of William T. Stead that she is about
TO publish a book on the subject OF the
spirit communications which she
claims to have had with her illustriOus
father since he was lost with the IL
tanic emphasizes the fact that spirit
istic phenomena are coming TO be rec
ognized by a greater and greater body
of scientific minds as well worth study.
Such names as Wallace, Lodge, James,
Hodgson, Hyslop, and found in the
roster of those who are not afraid TO
break with the great body of scientists
on this matter.
Science has introduced into the
world a new kind OF honesty. The
fact Darwin was willing to give TO
Wallace the credit for the discovery Of
the law OF evolution is n fine proof
OF this.
But science has a blot in its es-
cutcheon. That blot is its hard-faced
rejection OF plain facts when they re-
late 10 psychic phenomena Mesmer-
ism is now a recognized fact under the
name Of h~ypnotism. But for genera
tons after Mesmer and Braid mad

refused TO admit the plain facts. When
people were thrown into the catalep-
tic state now frequently seen in very

lists called il a trick.

hypnotic phenomena observed by
Harcot in his Paris hospital. l asked
