Nat- urally when telepathy Is introduced at a theater as a mode of entertain- | ment the general idea is that there| must be some trick about it, hence! e results achieved by professional entertainers are unquotable scien- | cally. But the results of the se- ance at the Balfour home last week | deserve prominence because of the | standing of the participants. Gil- bert Murray has been experimenting | for a long time with telepathy, but his own family; hence eceived little publicity. His daughter has been his usual assist- ant. For Instance, she would k of Rip Van Winkle. Murray would tmmediately say: ‘1 feel very old, and there is an old man comir down a hill. He is whiskered and in| rags seems very strange. It nust be the return of some old man, Rip Van Winkle.' “T know of other experiments by| Prof. Murray. The daughter would | think of a Russian book which the| father had not read. It was thej story of an old man with a pet dog, | Aying in a restaurant. Murray said:| “This is from a book. I think it is Russlan. There is an old man with a dog. He is dying. I think in al restaurant.’ “J. B. Piddington.’chairman of the Psychical Research Society, also tested Murray, who at the commence- ment of the proceedings sald he did not feel In good form that day and | might not succeed, but was willing | 1o try. Piddington thought of Queen | Victoria receiving the news of her | accession. Murray sald: ‘It's some- thing about Queen Victoria. She fs| receiving news. It must be the news of her accession’ I do not attempt | to explain it, because we do mnot Xnow how, but telepathy as a means of acquiring information through the | senses is an established fact. It is| well that the world should realize this, There is a disposition among some people to seek to avold the discussion of things they do not un- derstand, but that is bad for future | rasearch wor ! Very Hard to Explain. Mrs. Tpynbee describing the Mur- ray experiments, sald: “It is very difficult to account for what has hap- vened. It is not the result of con- | centration, for my father says he ©oes not make any active effort, he simply gets an impression of the scene. When he goes iInto another yoom, he stays by himself until re- cailed into the room. The latest ex- periment is particularly interesting, because as a rule my father had not Veon able to get results outside his own immediate clrcle. “The experiments in which Lord Bal- four took part represent the first oc- caslon on which such experiments Tave taken place under new condi- tions, It is not due to senses. It s to me to be an important sub- ject that ought to be followed out. It has been suggested that the explana- tion is hyperaesthesia, an increase in 1he acuteness of the senses, but other theorles have also been forwarded.

Carrespondence of the Associated Press. JERUSALEM, November 20.—Motor trafiic in Palestine since ths vrar has increased so greatly that the munici- pal government of Jerusalem has been compelled to take steps to curb the mad careening of automobiles through the crowded etreets of the cities. Also it will stop the harsh honking of horns, which are distaste- ful to a population accustomed to liv- ing in the medieval quaintness and quiet which were characteristic of the Holy City before its moderniza- tion began. Decrees have been {ssued providing drastic punishments for speeding and reckless driving, and stipulating that after January 1.all automobile horns must be replaced by bells. The lat- ter, the government declares, are more in character with the spirit of Jerusalem.
