- I fit THE MORNING ASTOItlAN, ASTORIA. OREGON. SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1903. 6 Messages NEW YORK, July 18, 1908. "Tri . rure neu infew mare larks en fratuir triuen carmine." Perhaps you don's know this lan- guage. It is a sentence from the uni- versal tongue spoken on the planet. Mars as revealed by a spirit alleged to, communicate through the personality of the celebrated Mrs. Smead, whose case has been under study for a num ber of years by Dr. Jomes H. Hyslop, Secretary of the American Society for Psychical Research. The words when translated into English mean "The man chief ruler's place in which looks on our earth from Mars." Many sim ilar quaint and curiour phrases have been wafted across the forty or fifty million miles of space between the two worlds and revealed, according . . - to the testimony of the planchette operated by this medium, in trance, for the studv of terrestrial philolog- ists. , True it is that Dr. Hyslop, whose point of view is that of the strict scientist and not of he credulous be liever in every manifestation purport ing to be sporitistic, does not hold that these communications working through Mrs. Smead give in reality any insight into the riddle of Mars. He thinks them on the contrary to i .t. ,;,.!, secondary personality plays when the dications of the action of the second normal conscious personality has 'ry personality-for he is very posi temporarily been eliminated by lapsed that no conscious fraud on Mrs. into the trance condition.

There are fifteen points or parts of the wings that are filled with air. These wings go up and down. The coil at the bottom are used to help the wings open. The power winds the coil. The power is I . . ... electricity and the batteries are where the coils are. These are three big coils. One is for the wind sails, one is for the wings, and one is for the propeller. The coil is used with the sails because it is sometimes needed when the winds are strong. The pro peller goes like a wing. The wind makes the ship go some." The sketch of the airship shows an amusingly impossible scheme of mechanism which resembles roughly a flattened baloon, suspended upon a flat boat with sails. The little holes in the drawing are said to be the means of entrance. Dr. Hyslop com ments on the technical absurdity of this ship, the evident confusion of a propeller with the helm, the appro priation of forces like electricity now under the constant discussion in pop ular literature and appealing strongly to the popular imagination, as evi dence which takes the Martian "com munications" quite out of considera- vhk ictcuuvu The value, however, of these in- "Smead since about 1895.

Ward of Brown University has called it, to distinguish it from geology, there should be regret, p'erhaps, that the Martian . communications through Mrs. Smead were suddenly interrupt-1 cd and terminated by the appearance of a new personality, a Civil War vet eran, who called himself Harrison Clarke, and who for a long time shut out all other communicators; when they wanted to get in a word or two through this medium. The later man- ifstations obtained through Mrs, Smead, whose identity has been care- fully preserved in spite of the publi- cation of a number of papers under the auspices of the American society for Psychical Research, are given m considerable detail in rsycmcai e- search and the Kesurrection, wnicn contains he remarkable series of Dr. Hyslop's works in the scientic aspects of alleged spiritistic happenings. The record began, according to the psy chologist's conclusions' with such shown in' the Martian romance, and has ended in the production of phe nomena much like those of Mrs. Piper, Other instances of what purport to be communications from other worlds may perhaps be explicable in the same way in which Dr. Hyslop sets forth the "farts" about Mars which have been disclosed through Mrs Smead. It is, at all events, interesting and true that in addition to the recognized. , literature regarding the neighboring planet including such books as those of Professor Percival Lowell, Profes- sor Edward S. Morse, and the monu- metnal work on which Professor David Todd of Amherst College is nnn pncaaeA and which is scheduled to appear very shortly, there exist curt, trpntisps as the snectacular "Journey to the Planet Mars, or Our Mission to Ento (Mars), a Narrative liv Snr.i Weiss, illustrated with carnate Artist."

"For several weeks I was unable to do anything. On March 18, 1907, 1 had a similar attack, and took Chamberlain's Cholic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy which gave me prompt relief. I consider it one of the best medicines of its kind in the world, and had I used it in 1902 believe it would have saved me a hundred dollar doctor'3 bill." Sold by Frank Hart and leading druggists.
