HUMAN WILL PHYSICAL ENERGY.

We all pride ourselves upon our
strong will power We all feel that
we can make n man sitting ahead Of

enough and will him to turn. See

did turn around in response To the ST.

more scientifically extraordinary, as
Mr.. a. J. Balfour Indicated, than the
crash of worlds and the end of our
earth in space. For the latter events
have analogies, the former none.
II, then, the human will can be ex-
crted in the manner described ii is a
remarkably important event. and still
mere important if it could be proved
that the human viii is a definite phys
zeal energy, capable of moving GER
tain material objects, or Of being reg
istered by means of a moving needle
or scale. Yet this is what has been
accomplished, and the will thereby
proved to be a physical energy, new
force, Just as new as electricity or
magnetism, but thousand times
more interesting, since we all possess
it within ourselves
That the human will is a physical
energJ can he proved by means of a
specially constructed instrument. The
instrument in question was invented
by Prof. Alrutz, Of the University of
unsala, Sweden, known as a careful
observer and for his works upon psy-
chology. These instruments are not
sold. Only two of them exist in the
world
One OF these is in Prof. Alrutz's
laboratory and the other is in the pos

peculiar power, whatever it may be,

Prof Alrutz tried the board with
several of his friends, and among
them found three or four who could
cause definite movements of the pal

of good families, and again he found a
certain percentage who could move II.
He then took the board with him TO

THOUSANDS ARE :
EXPECTED At
ROAD CONGRESS
Detroit Selected as Next Meeting
Place After Spirited Contest
With St. Louis and Denver.

WASHINGTON, June THE
American Road Congress will hold its
third annual meeting at Detroit dur
ing the week of September %. This
decision was reached by the joint
committee OF which Logan Waller
Page, director of the United States
Office Of Public Roads, is chairman,
after a spirited contest which Anal,
" narrowed down to the cities of st.
Louis, Denver, Minneapolis. and De-
troit.
The Congress is the great annual
assemblage Of the good roads organ
izations throughout the United States
and is held under the auspices OF the
American Highway Association, the
American Automobile Association and
the National Association Of Road Ma
chinery and Material Manufacturers,
the latter organization being concern
ed primarily with the exposition of
machinery and materials held in con-
junction with the Congress.
AS there are between thirty and
forty State and Interstate organiza-
lions identified with the American
Highway Association in addition to
its 1900 regular members, the big
meeting win be thoroughly represen-
| tative in character.
Arrangements have Just been made
to hold the annual meeting of the
| Michigan State Good Roads Associa-
ton which has $4,000 members, the
newly organized Michigan Trunk
Line Association, and the Ontario
Good Roads Association, in conjunc-
ton with the Congress. The combin-
ed attendance Of these various road
organizations will be we'll over 5000
and win certainly set a new record
far in advance OF attendance figures
at any previous good roads meeting
in the United States.
