PSYCHIC RESEARCH
SIR OLIVER LODGE APPEALS COMMUNICATION WITH DEAD B / Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Monday. A plea was made by Sir Oliver Lodge at to-day’s sitting of the British Asst ciation 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 teleputhic 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 supcr-normally acquired knowledge.—Sun.
