DOVEE SPRT NEAR EARTHJH FEELS Sir Arthur Lingers to Help Those Still Living, She Is Convinced. B the Associated Press. OROWBOROUGH, Sussex, Eng., De- cember 19.—Her - profound conviction that the spirit’ of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is - deliberately lingering near earth in order to help those still living was expressed by Lady Doyle yesterday. This conyiction, she said, was based on messages she herself had received from her dead husband. Saying she had heard that in an ar- ticle reporting conversations through Mrs, Eileen Garrett,,a medium, the term “earthbound” was used in connec- tion with Sir Arthur, Lady Doyle de-| clared Sir Arthur was “certainly not earthbound.” “1 happen to know,” she said, “that | he could have gone very high, but de- | liberately remained behind in order to keep contact with the earth and in- fluence the spiritualist movement.” Lady Doyle said she had heard slso that in Mrs, Garrett's spiritualistic con- versation Sir Arthur had spoken against establishing a memorial center for _spiritualistic. activities, “I am .to understand this,” Lady Doyle’'said. “I have had mes- sages through many mediums: to the effect that Bir Arthur is very Keen on establishing this memorial.” Asked her opinion as to how a con- message could have bren received in this instari¢e, Lady Doyle, who. paid | a high tribute to the mediumism of | Mrs. Garrett, emphasized that eyen on earth a essage transmitted through | the medium of one or two persons ‘could be distorted. She added that the nature of spiritual | vibrations is go delicate occasional mis- takes in TecPiving age almost ineyitable.

NEARLY OVERLOOKS BIRTHDAY Famous Scientist, Looking Foxjwax'-d to Einstein Visit, Hopes Soon to Correct Speed of Light Figure. - ) By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif., December 19.— Dr. Albert A. Michelson, first Ameri- can physicist to win the Nobel prize and recipient of many other awards, both here and, in Europe, for scientific achievement, is 78 years old today. Buj birthday anniversaries do not inf t him. ~ In fact, until friends reminded him of it yesterday he had not given his seventy-eighth ome & thought. He is interested in complet- ing his last experiment to determine the speed of light and in the ap- proaching visit of Dr. Albert Einstein to California. “There has been upexpected delays in conducting my final experiments,” he said. “My chief assistant has been ill. But within three weeks we hope to have the equipment installed so I can find and eliminate the error in my calculations of the speed of light. Then I'll rest on my oars.” Mirrors Flash Light. More than three years ago He used mirrors to flash light from mountain top to mountain top near here: and found it traveled at the Tate of 186,284 miles. per_second., Afterward an error |, was '‘discovered, probably not ‘more than a mlle & seécond, other scientists say. !l'o check the error he has had a large vacuum tube one mile long built on a ranch near Santa Ana, Oalif. Mirrors_in the tube and at one end will reflect light, flashed in at the other end, back and forth five times before the rays are “trapped” in a sighting and timing sapparatus. Dr. Michelson looks forward keenly to meeting Dr. Einstein. In Cleveland 50 years ago Dr. Michelson attempted an _experiment to prove the theory that the velocity of the solar system through space could be measured. The result was negative. Einstein advanced his theory of rela- tvity. Hopes for Reconciliation. “I am hardly one to pass upon this theory,” said Dr, Michelson, “My work has been al er experimental, but I hope I have furnished the theorists material upon which to base conclu- sions. Some selentists do not agree with Dr. Einstein, but a great many be- | lieve his work has come to stay.

His first scientific work was as an assistant in the department of physics m'& chem- istry at the United Sta Acad- emy, at Annapolis. .

A few moriths ago he established his home here and is now living in viraual re- tirement. Plans Quiet Day. “No, I never made any fuss about such things,” he said, referring to his birthday niversary. “I'll probably go for a walk in the morning and in the afternoon my wife and I may drive up into the hills, where I will do more work on this water color sketc! After that I'll read or play solitaire.” Dr. Michelson likes to tell of the time not long ago when he visited one of his Annapolis classmatés who had risen to the rank of admiral. “Mike,” the officer said, laying an arm on his shoulder, “you were a fool nailhead trim, $25. 339.50 *| By ‘the *Associaied Press | lino Prasso, 39, White faille, very simple, with STAR, WASHINGTON DRY AGENT BLAMED - FOR FATAL SHOOTING Coroner’s Jury Berdict May Bring Further Action on Part of State Prosecutor.
