| WOTlu WOulu flOl accept lilt
human exercise of mysterious
powers which it could not under
stand.
If Mrs. Mcpherson had lived
500 years ago she would have
been branded a witch and burned
at the stake. Later, she proba-
bly, would have been declared a
saint and her memory would
have been worshipped by those
who believed they had been bene-
fitted by her. From martyrdom
she would have assembled to i'm
mortality.
The wonder Woman" if
asked today, what is her power,
probably would tell you she does
not know. We can safely make
this assertion, tho we have never
met Mrs. Mcpherson, because we
believe in her honesty. If she did
know, she would have told the
world a long time ago and she
would not have waited for some
one to ask the question.
Mrs. Mcpherson can't explain
her power any more than the
electrician can tell what electric
ity is or how sound is trans
ferred by radio around the world
without visible means of connec-
ton. There is a close connec-
ton between this mysterious in
vention of radio communication
and the power exerted by Mrs.
Mcpherson.
We have promised our readers
we would try to explain this
force and, as we are dealing with
a strange phenomenon which is
battling even our greatest scien-
fists, it will be necessary to dis
cuss some matters which may
seem irrelevant but really are
important, so the reader may
form his own conclusion.
When, several months ago,
Conan Doyle startled the world
with the assertion that he be-
lieved in manifestations of the
spirit world we were inclined to
scof. Now comes one of the
foremost astronomers of the
world-Camillo Flammarion the
French scientist-and tells of ar
agreement he made with a friend
whereby the first who died was
to give sign from the spirit
world by moving a chandelier in
his home. The fulfillment of this
promise might be considered
within the realms of accident as
a piece of the chandelier really
broke at the instant, or just
after, the death of the astrono-
mer's friend.
We do not believe man has
to be scientist to develop a be-
lief in the correctness of such
marvellous manifestations. If
the human voice can be trans
mitted thru space, oyer noun
tains and across oceans, why
cannot thoughts be projected
into space and RECEIVED. If
thoughts can be transmitted, the
thoughts of the dying or of the
dead may travel on thru space.
Suppose it takes three seconds to
transmit a word by radio to
Europe and a man speaks into a
radio phone as he dies. He will
have been dead three seconds be-
fore his last word is heard in the
receiver at the European station.
Until the perfection of radio,
only thru the widest stretch of
imagination could one conceive
of speaking into the air and be-
ing heard thousands of miles
away. All that was needed was
the perfection of apparatus for
transmitting and for receiving.
Who knows if thoughts are not
cast into the air? Who can say
those thoughts cannot be picked

Married people live in better
homes and under more normal con-

has his wife to take care Of him.
During the flu epidemic more single
men died than married men. for
that reason. But more married
women died than single women.
and that was because the married
women had to look after families as
well a. themselves.
''The mortality rate among wid-
ows was lower than that among
married women. because the widows
had no husband to care for and
worry about"
DR.. Copeland pointed out that the
