SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-"If you
want to see something really worth
while, let me show you a reproduction
of your thought vibrations"
This was the rather startling sug-
gestion made by DR.. Albert Abrams
in his laboratory in Stockton street
two days after he had demonstrated
what, he said, were the electronic vi
brations of alcohol.
/ will relate exactly what happened
at that time without establishment or
speculative comment. r.
DIR. Abrams and three physicians,
who were there because OF interest in
some of his other experiments, took
their places in one room, surrounding
young woman employed in the
laboratory.
Two Discs Arc Used.
DR.. Abrams brought out a receiv-
ing instrument, apparently very much
like a simple apparatus for convey
ing sound vibrations. At one end was
an aluminium disc about the size of a
tea saucer and at the other end a
similar disc about the size of a half
dollar. The connection was an insu-
lated cable. The large disc was set
up in the center of the room and the
small disc was placed on tne 1Orc-
head of the young woman.
For the first experiment DR.. Abrams
said he would try something simple.
He asked me to go into the next room
and think intently OF a numeraL The
doctors were to watch closely the bare
extended arms of the young woman
and draw upon a piece of paper any
thing they saw appearing there. Be

That Gen. Felix Diaz. rebel leader

the arrival here OF Senor Ramon
Blanco, his personal envoy. The Diaz

aid to Sonors's cause by threatening

Claims to Reproduce
Vibration of Thoughts

1t occurred TO me that any guess
ing could be eliminated by going out
side the field he suggested and y9t in
a way conforming to the test. Thad
changed tires often enough to be sure
that 1 had a very vivid picture of an
automobile wheel in my mind.
AS result of this experiment DR.
Abrams and another observer both
drew pictures of a circle with several
bisecting lines. The pictures were
essentially of automobile wheels with
number of spokes missing, and
when l stop to consider the matter
don't know how many spokes there
are in the wheel of my automobile, so
that their pictures were about as ac-
curate as the one I had in mind.
Cause Of Appnritions.
DR.. Abrams believes in apparitions
to this extent--he says they are
projections of thought vibrations into
space. To demonstrate this theory
he asked me to try to see an image in
the room about half way between the
floor and the ceiling at certain
point He took the receiving end
OF his vibratory conductor to that
point. The most natural thing l could
think of to be hanging in space was
a crescent moon. The nurse at the
receiving end of the conductor almost
Immediately drew a crescent.
DR.. Abrams Is working on the
edges of an interesting field of scien.

to secure some delicate Photographic
apparatus to record the impressions OF

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, April 2o.-The
city OF Mexico today Is completely
isolated by rail from the outside

November 1919, and March 1920, al
though the total average cost was 40
per cent higher than in July, 1914. and
7 per cent higehr than in March. 1913.
Coal prices were secured from III
dealers in forty-four cities represent
ing all sections of the country. The
largest increases for anthracite were
in the cities of the East, where ad-
vances in the neighborhood of per
cent since November, 1919. were re-
ported from Providence. Bridgeport
and Boston. Baltimore. Buffalo, and
Pittsburgh, on the other hand, had
not raised prices. In the Middle west
the average increase for anthracite
was less. than one per cent, due to the
fact that ther had been no advance
what ever in Cincinnati, Detroit,
Duluth, indianapolis, Louisville, Mil
waukee. Minneapolis. Omaha, st. Louis
or St. Paul In Louisville, Columbus
and Cleveland, as we'll as in Memphis

bituminous coal had fallen since No
vember, 1919.
Less complete information regard
ing rates for gas and electricity in
dicated that the advance for these
items since November, 1919, had been
very small.
Sundrtcs.
The increase in the sundries item
is made up of changes in the cost OF
wide variety of commodities and
services. The most complete informa-
ton obtained was with regard to car
fare, reports on which were received
from l4S cities. In LOG of these, car
fare had been raised since 1914, vary
ing from an extra charge for trans
fers in New York City to 40 per
cent flat rate increase in Fall River
Mass. The most frequent increase
were 20 per cent and 40 per cent.
Furniture and household furnish
ings had made large advances in cost
since 1914. Organization dues had
been raisd. More was required FOL
the support of the church. for insur'
ance, and for medical care. Recrea
ton, candy, tobacco, soft drinks, were
all much higher in 1920 than they
had been in 1914. The increases be-
tween July, 1914, and March, 1920
in the cost Of all sundries combined
has been placed at SO per cent Since
families vary greatly in their eNpen'
ditures within the sundries group, q
single figure to estimate possible
changes which have occurred in cost
is difficult to determine. The in
crease noted is based on a large va
riety OF possible combinations, how
ever, and represents as fair averages

Albuquerque is to be a station
on a U. S. ransoontinental air mail
route, if tests prove that aerial mail
service between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts is practicable at this
time. II. r, watkins received a
telegram from Los Angeles yester-
day stating that Albuquerque IS
the chosen city of this section
The chamber of commerce has
instructions to send daily weather
reports to Los Angeles beginning
today. Special information is de-
sired relative to prevailing wind
directions and average and max
mum Velocities. Authorities state
that the practically cloudless days
of the Sunshine state should make
flying conditions ideal, the only
drawback being the mountainous
nature of certain sections which
makes landing dangerous and Gre
ates "air holes"
The state university has offered
big acreage of land on the mesa
formerly used by the military for
a drill and parade ground. Little
leveling will be required. The Boy
Scouts will meet Saturday morning
at the chamber of commerce build
ing with rakes and hoes and will
proceed to the university. where
they will put the landing ground in
excellent condition, A white panel
will be placed in the center of the
field and one at each Of the four
corners.
Test flights will be made be
tween here and Los Angeles and
the time saved over the railroad
schedule will be a great factor in
determining whether the route is
practicable. The chamber of com
mence has not yet been advised
when the test flights will be made.
