PSYCHICAL research has for many aroused world-wid- e interest, There is something intriguing about proving human survival after death. It was not thought possible to apply the scientific method to this import- ant subject and most religious people believe it must be a matter of and faith. But the scieri- tific age is upon us. Scientists see no reason why the scientific method, has been so successful in other branches of inquiry, should not be ap- plied to this branch. The result of more Hum forty years careful experiment has convinced eminent scientists as Sir Wil- liam Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge, Pro- fessor William James, Dr. Charles Professor Flammarion and the psychiatrist Morselli, that su- pemormal phenomena are facts. Most of these men account for them by what is known as the spiritualistic hypothesis. After carefully eliminating all possibility of fraud and malobservation they have witnessed the most astounding things. Among these are the phenomena of telekinesis and materialisation, to say nothing of telepathy, clairvoyance and psychometry. Materializations are perhaps. thq most astounding manifestations in the world. Except to those who have witnessed them or read the carefully prepared reports of credible witnesses, supported by photographic evidence and even cinematographic views, it seems impossible that Ectoplasm can transform into organs and organisms which show all the qualities of living, intelligent being. .Yet if Lombroso and Wallace and Schrenck-Notzin- g and many other scientists of world repute are to be believed it is .

Few psychical researchers have had the honor of lecturing be- - fore such ' important representative Even royality have listened to him. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle re- gards him so highly that he invited him to accompany him as a fellow turer during his travels through Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

GUARDS CANT SWIM New Yorks civil service commission discovers that the city is paying salaries to fifteen life guards who cannot swim a stroke and arent interested in learning. Thats shocking, but you wonder why anybody would hire a guard without compelling him to prove he can swim. But its not so strange at that. Thousands of women marry men who have never given any proof that they can earn a living and many stay married to such husbands after they have proved they cannot. Also many men pick wives as they would not select an automobile, on the basis of a good paint job and without ever looking under the hood to see what kind of an efigine is there. Seattle Post -- so. People in other walks of life, however, are just as capable of forming correct judgments on strange experiences. Science has not a monopoly of wisdom and common sense. Psychic science has many adherents among famous personalities whose sincerity mental calibre are of the highest order. This is particularly true of Europe. Perhaps the most notable is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who a few years ago gave some of the reasons for his belief in in Salt Lake City. Now we are favored with the pres- ence of his lieutenant, Professor Leaf, F.R.G.S., of London, England. Mr. Leaf is visiting his brothers in Utah whom he has not for more than twenty years, and has been persuaded to lecture on science before he leaves for BONNIE JEAN PETERSON Captivating little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.

It is possible that psychic science will stem the tide of unbe-an- d lief and win people to the realization that life continues after death. It is a matter of science primarily, but must not be regarded as antagonistic to religion. Professor Leaf will be able to press his views when he lectures on Wednesday next, September 19th, in the First Congregational church ditorium, corner of First South and Fourth East streets, Salt Lake City, at 8 p. m.
