tar of psychic phenomena and former
taie magician, thinks that most prank
Blaring spooks are about seventeen years
e!d and very much alive, although he
jees net ailuw uii fuveui uiajr icaiij

He told of some of his own ghost
kntlnr in Neva Scotia, and referred
with Interest te the test new going en
it Antlgenlsli, in an address last night
la the church of the First Association
of .Spiritualists. Twelfth street, near

One of Sir. Cnrrlngten's own- efforts
In Nera bcetla te meet a guest face te
ftee was in the town of Windser. The
Windser ghost, he said, was a fraud.
He found that there was an old man
in the town who posed as a medium nnd
devised the idea of a "haunte"d house"
te Increase his reputation. Steps te
run down the "ghost" were made dlffl
ralt because the man was aided in his
deception by numerous volunteers.
"The whole town helped him," cald
Mr. Carrlngten.
Ixcal pride or leve of frolic may have
caused the old man's neighbors te exert
themselves te make the Windser ghost
iMra real, but in the end it was shown
that everything attributed te the spook
wis done by human hands.
The Amherst Ghost
1 Neva Scotia's most famous ghost
hunt. Sir. Carrlncten said, was at Am
bent. In a house there spirits were
reported te have struck matches and
Hinted fires. The doings of these spooks
were set down in a daily record and
afterward furnished material for a book.
Speaking of the prevailing terror In
which spooks are held, Mr. Carrlngten
aid. "It Is absurd te be afraid of
spirits. Yeu are as much a ghost new
as you ever will be."
As n ghost is merely the spirit that
has passed from the body, he told,
there is no mere reason te be afraid of
dealing with ghosts than of dealing with
living men.
Mr. Cnrrlngten's keenness In delect-In-:
fraud practiced py mediums nnd
ethers he said 1ms been ns much due
te his training as a magician as te his
later study of communication between
the spiritual and the material worlds.
Having performed the marvels which
imazQ audiences, through the quickness
of hand which defiles the eye, he
knows better than most investigators
hew te leek for fraud.
Fraud Blended With Heal
Yet, while stating thnt he hnd found
much fraud, he admitted he hnd also
found muny things that defied explana
tion. Telling of Eusapia Palndlne, the
Italian medium, who came te thin coun
try several days ager he said the woman
undoubtedly possessed strange gifts,
hl!e nctunlly practicing fraud nt times.
ThU disposition te deceive, he said, may
lmve been due te vanity or a desire te
give some apparently wonderful dem
onstration of power nt every gathering.
At any rnte, Slgnera l'aladlne. desplte
far psjchlc power, would cheat when
ever she had a chance, if net closely
watched, he ail.
Mr. Carrlngten Is by no means n
eitic concerning messages from the'
spirit world, despite the mass of decep
tion that has come under his obscrva ebscrva obscrva
Hen. He tell, of experiences with noted
mediums that left no doubt In his mind
that theie are men nnd women who pos pes
ess sifts science cannot jet explain,
onieC iIiemj experiences being liie trnns trnns
mlnien of a message from his dead
mother, containing Information It was
net neK-lblf for a medium te bupidy

It will be Impossible te arrive at any

She believes that the spirits arc net

that the presence of the investigating
party will rekindle their anger. It Is
probable, she thinks, thnt if the party
remains in the house any length of time
they will be visited by the evil power
the same as I and Carrell experienced
after one night free from molestation.

knew, however, that he has witnessed
no fresh phenomena since arriving here.
Thnt the ".spirits" failed te put in
an nppenrance for two nights Is no sign
that they will net pay us a visit tonight.
It will be remembered that lt was net
until the second night spent in the house
by the previous investigating party that
any unusual demonstrations occurred.
The repetition of that story of the mys
terious "slap" in the night, while It
has no doubt had some effect en the
members of the pnrty, has net made any
of them afraid te face this third night.
Prince Scrutinizes Signs
Early yesterday 'the rain cleared
away, and when night fell the sk.v was
clear. Throughout the day Mr. Prince
was busily engaged about the heiicc and
barn, scrutinizing every evidence of
the "spook" visits, nnd asking hun
dreds of questions of the eye-wltneses
who accompanied htm. He seemed te
be fairly ucll hntlfeftcd, and about fi
o'clock gave up the investigation and
came Inte the house, where we gath
ered about the kitchen fire. The
.neighbors hae been exceptionally kind
te us nnd nave nreugut in tpecmny
cooked things te ent.
I think the majority of us would be
glad if something were te happen, nnd
seen.
Daybreak yestcrdny found the Intrepid
band of watchers In n stnte of relieved
disappointment, relieved because they
had net been iiidrly handled or chased
out Inte the fury of tlie terrific wind nnd
rainstorm that raged all through the
night and disappointed because the
ghost had failed entirely te maid; his

that nothing hnppenrd te Intcrfeie with

Who discovered
printing?
MOVABLE types were invented some
centuries age. That invention was the
biggest advance in the science of making
men think as you want them te.
Nevertheless, comparatively few busi
ness men have yet discovered printing.
That is te say, few appreciate te the full
the low cost and efficiency of this in
strument for making customers under
stand and desire their goods.
Geed printed matter should be just as
essentially a part of your sales methods
as geed salesmen. The work of your geed
salesmen can be made mere productive if
their activities are paralleled and sup-,
planted by the Pest Office and the Printer.
This is a geed year for you te discover
what geed printing can de for your
business.
