HARD TO ACCEPT.
Alleged Communications With The Dead. OPINIONS OP SCIENTISTS. LONDON, September C. A plea was made by Sir Oliver Lodge at yesterday's sitting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science that scientists should no longer ignore psychic research. Dr. Thomas W. Mitchell, editor of the British Journal of Medical Psychology, said it was undeniable that telepathic explanations of alleged communication with the dead involved assumptions almost as hard to accept as those involved in the hypothesis of spirit communications.
Dr. Mitchell suggested that after death some part of the mind continued to exist at least for some time, providing a source of super-normally acquired knowledge.—(Sydney "Sun.")
