Sdus Human Mind Is
First Wireless Transmitter

Philadelphia. Pa. Feb. 1.-The
mind is the original wireless trans
hitting machine. and thoughts are
like radiograms. Such as the claims
made by Rev. ". John Murray. in a
lecture delivered before the Divine
Science association in session in this
city.
It was asserted by DR.. Murray that
thoughts were similar TO other waves
in their action as they completed
circuit when they emanated from the
human brain. and if they were not re-
ceived by another brain they returned
to their sender with redoubled force.
The necessity OF thinking only good
thoughts, he said, was therefore
