163few minutes before. I am sure that I took in accurately the words of the message. Kaiser agreed.We thought he might mean: “There are musical vibrations which, when set in motion, enableobjects near to overcome the force of gravity.” But I cannot offer any explanation. I affirm that thewords I have repeated were used, and there I must leave it.)Q. (to Sir Isaac): “Am I right in supposing that psychic demonstrations are performed moreeasily in this neighbourhood, around the great lakes of America, than elsewhere?”A.: “Yes; this is on account of the electrical conditions.”Then Leota piped her “Who, who !“ and said she was helping to make conditions right. Shewas followed by Dr. Jenkins, who said: “We shall do little this morning, as we are collectingspiritual forces to help you in your investigations in the near future. I will visit you in England; thewhole spiritual world will assist you in your work, I know, and will help the beautiful spirit whoattends you. Good-bye.”As I have explained above, the final experiments alluded to in these notes that I wished tocarry out with Jonson were never completed, on account of his serious state of health. My guidehad spoken twice of her apprehension that Jonson’s condition would not permit it, and so it turnedout. There is not a doubt in my mind that Mr. Kaiser is a true psychic. He is now thirty-five yearsof age, and has plenty of time to develop into a medium like Mrs. Wriedt; he is well guarded by Dr.Jenkins, and I think he will do so. This medium, also, is good to the poor, and admits many withoutpayment. I wish him every success, and a long life of usefulness in the exercise of his gift.EPILOGUEWHEN I said “Good-bye” to Mrs. Wriedt in New York, on February 24, I little thought to see heragain for some years. I knew that it was unlikely I should be able to leave England for many a longday, on account of the precari6us state of my wife’s health; in future, I should have to depend uponmental impressions by my guide for communion with the spirit world. It happened, however, thatMr. W. T. Stead invited her to spend some time at his country home near London in May, June,and July, 1911; owing to his courtesy I was able to again enjoy the privilege of hearing “TheVoices” and obtaining further evidence of spirit action through her medium-ship. Mrs. Wriedtarrived at Mr. Stead’s house at 1 p.m., Tuesday, May 23, and, after tea, two ladies and I inducedthe psychic to give us an opportunity of testing her gift in a highly magnetised room on the firstfloor of the house.It was expected that the power of Mrs. Wriedt would be considerably reduced by the changeof climatic conditions, if, indeed, it did not disappear altogether. She had spent two days in a fog atsea; had just been driven across London by her host; and everything around was entirely new toher. The house, it is true, was in a very quiet situation about three hundred feet above the riverThames, and the psychic influences within the house of the very best.We entered a pitch-dark room at 5.5 p.m., and sat till 6.20. Before we had been long in ourchairs “Julia” spoke through the trumpet, giving Mrs. Wriedt a hearty welcome. She was followedby Mr. William Stead, who also greeted the psychic; he conversed very plainly and sent messages tohis father. “Julia” invited me to her “Bureau” meeting on the following evening.Then came “Iola,” with whom I made an appointment for eleven o’clock on the followingmorning. I specially wanted to get some information about my family. After she had agreed to comeshe spoke these enigmatical words: “There have been many changes.” Before her voice was heardthe psychic said: “I see the name of____ “ (Iola’s earth-name). She also saw the name of StuartKnull, which, no doubt, was Sir J. Stuart Knull, the late Lord Mayor of London. I knew him whenhe was in life, and so did my father. The spirit assented to his name.Very faint forms were seen near the cabinet by Mrs. Wriedt and the two ladies, who areboth mediumistic. I saw one only; the psychic exhibited good clairvoyance to both of the ladies.Weather dry and hazy.
