I tome of n family lo different mem. tors of which have become visible at times those appearances which for want of a better nuiua are known as "ghosts." It 1m at least possible that tho superstition regarding the second sight of one born with a veil may have some foundation In sclentlflc fact, for my uncle was thus yelled at birth, and all bla llfo from lnfuncy vacant space wns peopled to him with forms, which bo would describe so accurate ly In dress, appearance and manner that listeners would Instantly recog nize departed friends, gone over years before my uncle's birth In many in- ntnnees. , It was not till ho was a largo boy that be realized that the forms seen by him were not visible to others. Pages could be written of his eiperlences, but I am not here to give hearsay evi dence, but my own personal eiperl ences. the sights seen with my own bodily vision. Tbe first Instance was so early In my life that I do not recall It, but my mother relates the clrcumstancea. Our home was In Brooklyn, and we had gone for the summer to Green field Hill, Conn. I was so young that I still wore dresses and waa In charge of a nursemaid who was In the habit of receiving visits from Annie, a girl of her own chin, ho that I waa well acquainted with Annie. She died suddenly and was buried In the country churchyard, but I was not told of her deuth, being considered too young to understand. As I walked with my nurse past the cemetery one evening In the edge of dusk .her superstitious horror can be Imagined when I cried, pointing di rectly td Annie's grave: "Ob, Maggie, there Is Annie! Hhe Is. waving her hand for us to come over to borH I broke away from uiy nurse and ran to tbe cemetery fence, She caught me up and ran In a panic to the bouse, nor would she tver again pass the cem etery after dark. The only Idea In my mind was that of a familiar friend whom I bad sot seen for some time. The second Instance was at tbe most unromsntlc age possible to a boy- about thirteen. I wqs attending board ing school In Dedhiim, Mass. A school friend, a boy of about my age, had left tbe school some days before for IiIm home In the west, leav ing In perfect health. At nlHiut 0 In tho evening I sat on the edge of the bed removing my shoes when the wall of tbe mom seemed to part and open, showing the night outside, with the dim forms of. the trees gently waving In the wind. As 1 sat spellbound at this strange sight In the rift of the wull against the background of the night stood my friend as I hud Inst seen him, Just ns In life. He waved his hand to me In token of farewell, stood looking at me a moment, and gently the vision faded. 1 said to my roommate, who had seen nothing; "Charlie Is dead. I have Just seen him." The next morning a telegrum to the school snld that he had died the night preceding. In the third Instance I had grown to manhood a normal, healthy man, over six feet tall nnd weighing nearly 200 pounds. I am a civil engineer, tbe hardy outdoor life being far removed from dreams nnd morbid Imaginings. It was on one occasion necesmiry for me to consult n lawyer, and one even Ing I met the lawyer In his Roston of fice to tulk over a matter of business. In tho course of the conversation he asked me question which I was un decided about answering. I stopped moment before replying, for eousld- Jeratlon. lowering my eyes, and, when I raised them, there stood behind the attorney a favorite sister, dead mauy years. Ifer eyes were fixed on mine, her Angers on her lips. I . Instantly ab aorbed tho Idea conveyed by her sug gestlve pose and did not give the law yer the information be asked. As It afterward proved, It was greatly to my Interest not to do so. Tho luwyer shivered slightly as the visitant stood behind his chnlr nnd said that there was a draft through the room. However kuew that the sensation of cold conveyed to his nervous system was a breath from nu unseen world. Science has proved thnt light, sound aud color are all the results of vibra tion of greater or less rapidity. Some of these vibrations affect our senses and we see, hear or feel their effects. But what of the vast space filled with those vibrations which affect pone of our mines, yet are unknown to science? Could our senses respond to theirl what secrets of tho unseen might not be rovealed, and who can soy but the secret of these strange sights which sometimes greet the eye of mortals Is hidden lu this unknown range of vi brations, hiding n world that Is, all about us, mingling with and overlap ping, surrounding nnd telescoping, our The Daily Market Report PORTLAND,' July 22,Dealer' fit freh fish report business rather light on account of the warm weather, shipments to interior points being difficult at this time of the year, There were no changes in quotations today, and the supply in all lines wait sufficient for the demand, There were no developments in the poultry mar ket today, but there was no surplus, everything ncllijig readily at the last (notation, " Eggs were unchanged, 6 Cents; 4 crown, 7i cents; bleached, seedless Sultanas, 91c12c; un bleached seedless Sultanas, 61 cents; London layers, 3-crown, whole boxes of 20 jounds, $2.00; 2-crown, $1,75.
