Wireless communication with The
spirit world may soon be established
This startling prophecy seems prac-
eically fOreshadOwed by some recent
experiments, which have just been
completed. These tend 20 prove that
delicate physical and electrical instru-
ments may soon take the place Of hui
man mediums" and serve to open up
our communication direct with the
world Of spirits.
Alarconl and many other great men
in the world Of science are expressing
their conviction that wireless cOmmu-
nicatl0n with some spirit world is
within the bounds OF possibility; and
scores Of wireless operators are de-
clsring they are constantly receiving
messages and signals for which they
cannot account-periodic and appar-
entity intelligent messages, in a code
different from that which we employ
y mother, whose son was killed in
the war, has recently published a book
entitled "Thy Son Liveth," wherein she
asserts that she has actually received
messages Of this kind from her dead
son. by means Of the Morse code. She
says:
Il brought this letter (which she had
recently received from her living SON
up TO read IN his room and was laugh
ing and crying over Il, when the wire

the key, and in a moment I had the
message that Bob had promised to find
means TO send me here. II is before

Get this fact TO others If you can. It Is

I'm confused yet. Bob.

son, an Englishman Of scientific train |

ceiyed a number Of messages by means |

Of special apparatus he has constructed. ]
These messages were mostly from sol !

Wireless waves travel In the ether
that imponderable substance In which
all space Is bathed-which exists in the
space between planets and suns as well
as in the smallest atom Of matter. We
have instruments which can send and
receive messages conveyed by this
ether; and as our instruments become
more and more delicate and refined,
new vibrations are constantly being de-
tected.
Doubtless the action Of the mind sets
etheric waves in motion, and If we had
the suitable instruments for detecting
them, we could catch these waves or
by physical instruments.
Even II they were sent out by some
mind no longer. associated with It's
physical body, they might still be de-
tected by this means-if we had the
