Griswold Boume, No, West Bixty-eighth street, before sev- members of the new American In- tute for Scientific Research, Among those pretelt were the Rev, Dr, Minot Bavage and Prof. James H. Hyslop, of lumbia, University, both of whom mere deeply interested In Dr. Newton's Femarke and are trustees of the new inetitute. ‘The institute ts belng formed for a temperate and scientific investigation into spiritualism, telepathy, clairvoy- ‘ance and similar subjects, It is mod- elled along the lines of the Psychical 4 wides Dr, Prof. Hyslop, its membership Will Include lmany prominent physicians and men of lwcience.
