TEST MESSAGE
after DEATH
Sir Oliver, Scientist, Spir-
itualist, Spends Last Days
in Old Castle
BY II. L. PERCY

| LONDON, April 4.-(OI)'-
Lone day-not so very long now
! the world may have definite proof
that the dead can communicate
with the living.
Sir Oliver Lodge, Britain's
foremost spiritualist and scientist,
has deposited a sealed ''test mes
sage" with the Society of Psychi-
cal Research. When he dies, and
he is SO, he will attempt to COM
municate that message from the
hereafter.
The context of the message IS
known only to Sir Oliver, and it's
nature is such that it will def
nitely establish its authenticity If
received by mediums, ....
MESSAGE HINT IN BOOK
Some hint of the form of the
message is contained in his book,
"My Philosophy" IN it he takes
an imaginary case, suggesting
that a verse of even frivolous de-
scription, which, unknown to any
body else, has been constantly IN
the mind Of a person, may be re-
membered after death. .
Sir Oliver has been an almost
lifelong believer in communica-
ton with the dead. AS long ago
as 1908 he startled the world
with an announcement to that eff
feet. Recently he reaffirmcd "his
absolute belief in life after
DEATH" in a countrywide radio
broadcast.
LONELY PLAINS
He is spending his remaining
days in an old stonc-walled house
on the lonely Salisbury Plains.
The gray mists that continually
skirl about it seem to hold the
spirits with which he claims to
converse.
To use his own words, he is en-
gagged in "the enjoyment Of tran
guilty." tranquility that is I'M
doubtedly enhanced by his belief
that he will meet cen the other
side" his wife, whom he so great
ly loved; Raymond, his son who
was killed in the war; his daugh-
ter, Violet, and others who shared
his affections on earth.
Some months ago Sir Oliver
underwent a serious operation,
and he still is convalescing. He
has a favorite walk. Nowadays he
can only complete half the walk,
