This is balance. on one end of which a
person places his hands lightly. BY nat
ursI law the farther end can only move
upwards, but Professor Abrutz has found
that when certain persons concentrate
their minds upon It it records slight
downward pressure. Here, again, Is an
instrument apparently suited 10 recording
psychic force.
Suppose that a medium appears to be
under the influence Of a disembodied
spirit and deception Is suspected. She is
connected with the mirror galvanometer,
an electric instrument which records ordi-
nary emotional reactions with a fash. II
when the spirit is talking, the medium
does not betray her ordinary emotional
responses to remarks, then there is some
evidence that an external force is speak
ing through her
Mysterious rappings. peculiar noises,
voices unlike those of living persons. are
commonly reported psychic phenomena.
The psychic dictaphone, a Photographic
instrument that magnifies small sounds
many hundreds of times, is placed where
these are reported. and thus permanent
records OF such supernormal sounds are
being collected.
Every trained investigator provides him
self with a Photographic camera when
seeking evidence of psychic phenomena.
With the camera Professor Charles
Richet, of the Paris Academy Of Sciences,
obtained his remarkable photographs Of
the Arab called Bien Boa. who material
lied himself apparently out of nothing be-
fore the professor. who not only saw, but
felt the vision.
With his camera Professor Baron Won
schrenck Nothing, the Munich scientist,
obtained more than 225 photographs of
curious supernormal materialIzations,
which he has published These photo
graphs were taken In the presence of
scientists of standing, ana the honesty OF
the investigator is not questioned.
Ip Schrenck Notzing's experiments the
Photographic plates revealed many differ.
ent human figures emerging from the
body Of the medium, Eva Carriere. In
some experiments pictures seen by other
persons not present were projected from
her body. schrenck Nothing has adj
vanced an interesting theory that such
materializations are telepathically pro-
tected from the minds Of persons con-
cerned In the experiment, using the body
OF one medium, and that they actually
consist Of body tissue of immeasurable
lightness.
Avery peculiar instrument Is the ''uiulo-
meter" or psychic howler," which pro-
duces a wailing sound when any living
being comes within its field.
The lastrometer Is an apparatus con-
tanning sulphide OF zinc screen, which
glows when a person approaches. The
glow varies according to the psychic
energy OF the person, and II Is reasoned
that spirit or discarnate agency might
reveal its presence through this glow.

Winnipeg, July 14.-With start of
rye harvest in Manitoba today on
large scale farmers through govern
ments of western provinces sent out
their annual call for harvest help.
This year it will require sixty thou
sand outside harvesters ITO assist in
gathering western Canada's grain
crop, the greatest in Manitoba in ten
years and the greatest in western
Canada since 1915, year of phenom-
email yield. That year the crop of
wheat totalled S25, 900 900 bushels
and this year it willa be the next
largest ever gathered in the west.
There are no signs of rust in Mani
toba or Alberta. Isolated cases have
been reported in southern Saskatche-
wan. Heavy rains have been follow
ed by cool weather which has kept
off the attacks of the rust parasite.
Manitoba wheat harvest will be on
by July Is and Saskatchewans a
week later. Alberta's harvest will
start about the same time as Mani

SUnited Brotherhood of Maintenance
OF Way employees and railroad shop

member. expressed the conclusion
that the organization would be able
to carry out the peace program re-
Gently outlined as result of the con-
ferences with the U. S! labor board.
Blames Few Men.
President Cradle laid the blame for
the newest strike talk which cropped
out again at Cincinnati last night
when T. c. Carroll. chairman of the
General Chairmen's association, said
the chairmen might demand strike
sanction. at the door of "a few dis
senters."
There are always some men in ev-
cry organization who are waving the
red flag" said Mr.. Cradle today.
There are always few dissenters.
If the general 7chairmen should ad-
wise their men to strike and they
should do so. it would, be an unlawful
strike and would not be recognized
by the national officers"
The General Chairmen's association
Of which Mr.. Carrall is the head, is a
separate organization within the
maintenance of way union and has no
. authority to call strike, according
to union officers. It could make rec
concentrations to the union but has
no power. to function otherwise.

WAHuedpolAS, July IA hearing
to ascertain the aadvisability of re-
moving a suspension placed upon a
local freight rate from the coal fields
OF West Virginia and Kentucky, to
Minnesota Wisconsin and North and
South Dakota. which was recently
created by the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, was held here Thurs
day before an examiner of the inter-
state commerce commission.
The Northwestern coal dealers were
represented by Stanley Houk of Min
coal dealers to testify fol! the remov-
al OF the joint rate and the re-estab-
lshment of the through raAe
"A thorough rate between the coal
fields of Kentucky and the northwest
can be maintained at SO cents per ton
OF coal cheaper than the joint rate
between those two districts" said Mr..
Houk at the hearing. This means a
saving to the public of approximately
81 per ton of coal If the through rate
is retained for the freight charge be-
tween the southeastern coal fields and
the northwest"
Mr.. Houk said that if the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad could be
induced to return to the through rates
and the other railroads Of the coun-
try operating trains on the joint rate
uasls Wouio oe IorceQ 10 return to
through rates also This would mean
that reduction Of 81 to So per ton
for coal would be made all over the
country, continued Mr.. Houk
B. F. Morris, testifying before r. NJ.
Quierk. chief examiner. said the
amount of coal transported by the
Louisville and Nashville railroad out
of the Kentucky coal mine district
was so small and irregular that the
Louisville and Nashville railroad had
to increase it's rates in order to get
supporting revenue.

scious from five gashes in" her head.

The murder was not discovered un-
til late Thursday afternoon, when a
daughter, Mrs. Alvin Soron, living
near her parents. became suspicious
after she had failed to receive an an
swfr over the telephone. She hast
ened to the home and found the body
of her father stretched across the bed
and her mother crumpled in a heap
on the floor. The axe used In the at
tack was found lying beside the
mother.
