"I have tried to keep my feet fin the ground and to, accept only such things us must reach the rational end normal mind." the uro extremely interesting because cf the profound wisdom they contain.

Some of them refer to names, dates and events of which Wallace says he had no previous knowledge. Investigation of such references l.tu frequently proven their truth. Here is a message which must be taken at Its fare value: "Nothing is infallible, but the persistence of fallibility) nothing Is immutable but change." Charles Farwln. As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle remarked, the thought is patently Darwinian, but there Is nothing; upon which to base the conclusion that It whs not turned out of the Wallaca thinking machine. Another type of message may Proof Promised There is a persistent belief arming many men of intelligence that physical phenomena, telepathy.

Intuition, spiritual perception, and even Immortality mysteries which human lntelll-t ence may eventually solve. M-n like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge, Wil-lian Crookes, the English chemist fend physicist; Cesare Lomhroso, Italian criminologist, and Alfred "Wallace, whose learning In unquestioned, have, declared that communication has been established with the spirits of who have departed from a physical existence. The larger scientific world has asked for better proofs than have come from seances and lnediumlstlo trances. Many of the materialising phenomena have been proven fraudulent under careful scientific teat. Several years ago Grant Wallace, a Californian widely read and traveled and splendidly equipped intellectually, immured him-Felf in a small laboratory in the Canned and gave himself up entirely to an investigation cf such phenomena as seemed to have most significance.

Then it seemed that his data was false. The discovery was so important that Wallace pursued the clew until he found that historical records differed as to the dates of the births and deaths of the tw persons in and according to some authorities the one person had died before the other made hi.s appearance here. But that was merely the elimination of a disprnnt and not proof. Wallace continues to study the hypothesis of reincarnation in the hope that a met hod uf substantiation may develop.
