MYSTERIES
FROM Seattle conies a strange tale. 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.

JACKSON COUNTY, always progressive, was well rep
resented in the last legislature, according to Carl

who have just issued a booklet entitled "Behind the

NEW POSTOFFICE REGULATIONS.
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. 'I he move

I lie question oi closing postoffiees throughout the
country has been agitated more or less during the past
year with the result that the foregoing order has been is-,
sued by the postmaster general. 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.
