Terence Emcriek, wireless operator of the steamer Bertha, relates that on the night of February 7, shortly before the steamer Victoria crashed on a reef off (Jape Uinehinbrook, that he was possessed of a feeling of impending disaster. This he confided to the master of the vessel and then, moved by some impulse, went to his wireless key, which he had closed for the night, and almost instantly afterward re ceived a message from the Victoria asking aid. The Bertha at once proceeded to the rescue and in this manner more than 100 lives were saved. The story seems well substantiated and those who know the men concerned give it credence. 'Pales like this are scoffed at by the skeptical, but cer tain it is there are more things in heaven and earth than arc dreamt of in our philosophy, and the tenets of the cold materialist often seem confounded by occurrences like these. Telepathy or thought transference is an accepted scientific fact; indeed, it is no less difficult to explain than wireless telegraphy itself, for if intangible currents can sway the needles of steel instruments, how much more easily must be moved the delicate molecules of the mind when two souls are closely attuned. .Reduced from all tech nicality, science explains telepathy in this very manner, nor is the possession of this power so rare as it would seem at first thought, for all of us have experienced at some time or other that simultaneous mentioning of the same word or thought, which is caused by nothing else than tele pathy in a limited form. The Hindoos a degenerate race in many respects for centuries have been cognizant of these inward powers of the mind, and it is said that during the Sepoy uprising in India that Hindoo spies, acting as camp attaches with the British troops, would retire at night to the solitude of their tents at an appointed hour and then, with .some friend in the rebel camp, converse as plainly as if the con versation had been of spoken words instead of solely through the medium of the mind. Returned travelers from India, who have witnessed the wonderful and impossible feats of the fakirs, are in clined to the opinion that the occurrences apparently Avit nessed by thein were in reality only mental impressions forced upon their minds by a sort of hypnotic force and many instances have been cited to substantiate this theory. Every day we witness wonders, which we can fully explain and comprehend, which, if they occurred several centuries ago, would have certainly resulted in charges of vitehcraft. Science with cold and analytic eye, is robbing the world of its romance and reducing everything to cold materialism. We have made great progress, but we still have much to Jearn, and though psychologists have explained much, few thoughtful men believe that we have other than touch ed upon the borderland of that great unexplored bourn, the human mind, whose possibilities we yet but faintly comprehend. A marvelous field still waits the explorers of the human mind. We have much to learn. Tt is much as llashimira Togo humorously wrete: "When college professor see ghost it are spirit, when ne gro janitor see spook he are one dark superstition." It's a mysterious, fascinating subject. A GOOD JACKSON COUNTY, always progressive, was well rep resented in the last legislature, according to Carl Smith and II. I. Edwards, two legislative correspondents who have just issued a booklet entitled "Behind the Scenes at Salem," in which each -member of the legisla ture is "sized up" by them.

TNT ACCORD with the movement over the United States in closing postoffiees on Sunday, the local office has instituted several changes which will go into effect in the near future. As a result of these new regulations, patrons of the office on carrier routes can only receive their mail on Sunday by leaving a written order Saturday and apply ing for it at the general delivery window during the hourj that window is open on Sunday." Mails will be distributed i to iioxes as usual.

The" department has re I reived numerous petitions from commercial bodies and religious organizations, and letters from the general publicl requesting that all unnecessary work be discontinued on Sunday. Practically all of the larger offices in the countrv have closed on Sundav. IIASHIULL. t Log AiigttltM R. Los Angvlos I II.
