that despite the difference in eli

Detroit and Toledo had been very

spirits in London.
Sir Arthur. who claims to have
communicated through mediums

whom they usually communicated
and that when they do get in
touch with other spirits, these
guardian angels acted as masters
of ceremonies.

become mediums if the talent were

true that it was through the ecto-

New York, April 10.-There are
marriages in the spirit world but
no births. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
declared Monday.
The celebrated English creator
of Sherlock Holiness" who has
come to America to lecture on mat
ters psychic. made this statement
in giving reporters more init
mate view of the next world as he
conceived it, than he gave on his
arrival Sunday on the steamer Bal

Marriages, he said. were on
higher level than in this world
They constitute the mating of af-
finities. he added. and always con
tinue happily. Indeed, he said.
there was very complex form of
society in the world hereafter.
Sir Arthur said that the great
agreement among spirits of various
nationaIities as to life in the spirit
world was one of the strongest
proofs of the existence of such life.
He added that the spirit world
was all about us but that it was
expressed in colors and sounds
which our senses were too gross
to understand.
Sir Arthur said that some min
listers taught that it is hard to
get into heaven. but said normal.

going to his or her death.
Asked about a suicide. Sir Ar
thur said that one could not force
the hand of providence. and that
a suicide would have to bear in the
spirit world the trouble that had
caused him to end his life.
He said that the object of life
was to spiritualize ourselves and
that riches and successes here did
not count against that.
Climatic conditions are one of
the stumbling blocks in the path of
mediums. according to Sir Arthur.
