Show OFFERS PROOF j OF HUMAN SOUL French Scientist Quotes In-'i cidents to Prove Exist-ence Exist-ence of Spirit PA RIB I Une ( By the Associated I Press! Conclusions of Camille Flnm-marlon, Flnm-marlon, tho French astronomer from I the study of a few hundred cases along I purely scientific lines, and apart from religious or spiritualistic viewpoints. I are that the soul lives after decomposition decompo-sition of tho body, Is endowed withl. faculties still unknown to science and can manifest Itself at a distance without with-out the mediation of the senses. "1 have spent 50 years studying the question." the astronomer says, "and i have applied to It the same rules as' to scientific research. I excluded e-- ery example which would not stand the test of scientific verification " Among the proofs offered by Dr. ! Flammurlon aro cases of dear per-sons per-sons fulfilling promises, glvlnir notice of their own demise and tvinic Warnings Warn-ings of events which afterward materialized, ma-terialized, even such as the execution of vengeance for wrongs throiiRh mo-diumS mo-diumS previously unaware of tho wrongs done. TIIKLL PROOFS ( I I 1.1) Among tho proofs cited are the fol- , lowing: Tho late composer Saint Sacns, Just ootore nis aeatn. related tno tact inai the last day of tho war of 1870 while 1 he was dining gaily with his comrades at an advance post, he distinctly hr ml the chanting of the theme around which he later composed his famous requiem. From this phenomenon he had a presentment of misfortune, and , later learned that his friend the great artist Henri Regnault, had died that same Instant. A patient, says Dr Flammarlon. I made a pact with him that if be died before the doctor did, he would come back and give evidence of the spirit of the soul. A few months later the doc- ! tor's attention was draw n to the move- j ment of a candelabra which continued contin-ued until a piece of It was detached and placed on a table as if laid there by a careful hand Two days afterward after-ward the doctor learned that his patient pa-tient had been dead several days. Th'-breaking Th'-breaking of the candelabra was tho sign agreed upon by which the patient pa-tient was to prove the survival of the soul. SCO r M I H TM s CASE Another instance cited by Dr Flammarlon Flam-marlon Is the case of .a young man .employed hy a Glasgow manufacturer, j The young man who died of poison which he had mistakenly drunk for whisky appeared after death to his employer and begged him not to believe be-lieve what he waS Kolng to be told. The employer previously was unawar of the young man's death. He was told n few minutes later that the boy had commuted suicide A careful in- vestlgatlon. however. proved that death was really due to taking the poison poi-son by mistake. Dr. Flammarlon reproduced a great j number of examples already published I In his psychclal works, showing manl- : festatlons of the spirit at different periods pe-riods after death from an hour to several years. He says, however, he' does not pretend to say that the soul Is immortal, but contents himself with Classifying evidence proving scientifically scientific-ally that It does survive the body. |
