| AMUSING SEQUEL TO SEANCE. MEDIUM DID NOT W\IT TO EXPLAIN. (Br Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Per Press Association.) Received March 7. 9.55 a m rri •, m , S'VDXKY, March 7. Ihe Daily Telegraph states that a wellknown spiritualist was giving u seance in a room full of people. The' lights wore low arid several spirits appeared. A gentleman to whom the medium was under engagement. wishing to test the genuineness of the spirits, made a grab at the ghostlyapparition, and encountered a flimsy material. A light was struck, and this showed that he held one end of a mosquito netting while the medium was tugging at the other. The medium did not accept the chance to explain, but bolted into the street hatless, pursued l>y some of the audience.
The medium, interviewed later, declared that the demonstration was genuine. The spirits actually materialised. The statement that ho held one end of the drapery was absolutely false. One of tho audience who accompanied him in his flight and searched the medium, was interviewed also, and supported the medium's statements.
