Gee! How Quickly and Neatly We Can Do Job Work
SNAPSHOTS OF SOULS
Henry Fi ica Believes Spirits Can
Efe Pictured Leaving Body.
THE SUBJECT HIS LIFE STUDY
Scientist and Singer Asks Permission
of Hospital Authorities to Try Ex
periments—Says Watchers Don’t Soe
Soul's Flight as They Are Hypnotized.
The unheard of claim that lie lias
discovered a method by which he can
photograph the human soul was ad
a need the other night by Henry Price,
a retired professor of music, at Mount
Ve. 1 >n, X. V. Mr. Price announced
that I • is actually seeking penulssi ni
to inaki experiments at liellevue hos
pital that ill demonstrate the extraor
dinary sole, ifie value of Ids discovery,
says the New York American.
Mr. Price says he lias made great
headway In ids researches as a result
of the recent declaration by scientists
in Boston that they had lieeu able to
weigh the human soul and had found
that it balanced the scales at a good
half our^e.
Mr. Price, who was for forty years
the baritone soloist of Trinity church.
Now York, says he has made the sub
ject a life study, and he is convinced
that the soul has a real existence and
that the reason it cannot lie seen in
taking its flight from the body is be
cause those present at the time of
death are invariably hypnotized. The
theory the soul really exists, Professor
Price says, is borne out by the fact
that the body lightens Immediately
after death.
His jilan is to photograph the soul as
it departs from the body with a num
ber of quick snapshots.
It would lie impossible, he says, to
hypnotize the camera, as it records
many tilings not visible to the naked
eye. In speaking of the subject the
other day Professor Price said:
“I would like to have about a half
dozen scientific men in the room as
witnesses to the experiment, and I
would also want a stop watch to re
cord the transition.”
“Have you formed any idea of what
the soul looks like?” asked a reporter.
“I don’t know what it looks like,’
replied Mr. Price, “but I am sure It
does not weigli more than a dram."
"What, In your opinion, becomes of
the soul after It has taken its flight?"
Mr. Price was asked.
"According to my belief,” was the
reply, "the soul does not really take
its flight. It passes into another body,
but It has to be removed by some one
whom we will call an angel or an
agent of the Deity. The angel has to
remove It from the body while it is yet
warm and put it into another being.
If the person doesn’t deserve another
life, then the Deity doesn’t send for ills
soul, and be is dead like a common
animal.”
Professor Price was asked if he bad
formed any idea regarding the organ
ism of the soul.
"Necessarily," replied he, “the or
ganism must be very small. It may
be like an oyster or a mollusk. We
cannot see its organism, yet we know
it has life.”
Mr. Price says all clergymen ougbt
to be interested in the success of hia
experiments, because if the corporeal
existence of the soul is proved it will
put an end to infidelity. As yet the
authorities at Bellevue have not taken
upyProfessor Price’s ideas.
POETICAL MARRYING SQUIRE.
Hew a Montpelier Man and a Widow
Were United at Pennvilie.
Lee Rhotou. the Montpelier (Ind.)
man whose matrimonial disappointment
formed the basis of an appeal to the
clerk of the Jay circuit court to take
back a license Issued to him to marry
Mrs. Emma McPherson, a widow, of
c jar Pennvilie, Ind., is now perhaps
glad that his wish was not granted,
for the two are now married, says a
Portland (Ind.) special dispatch to the
Indianapolis News. Perseverance and
repeated declarations of his love for
hia once promised bride won the day,
and the words were said by Justice
Cartwright at Pennvilie which finally
made the two discordant hearts beat
as one. This Is what he said:
Barefooted I stand,
With the law in my hand.
These words I pronounce: As a matter of
course.
You are now man and wife, for better or
worse.
On the sea of life I give you this start.
Live happy together till death do you
part.

Bangs on Nature Faking.
John Kendrick Bangs contributes to
Harper's Weekly these interesting views
on a current topic of wide appeal:
Oh, I am a bold nature fakir.
With a bubbling fountain pen.
I write up the beasts of my maker.
And tell what they might have been.
I’ve told strange tales of pink monkeys
Who talked o’er a telephone;
And yarns of green'violet donkeys
I've met in the torrid zone.
My story of "Curly the Boa,”
Who sat on a sausage links
And hatched out some seventy-four
Small caddies wiUi black woolly kinks
Is now in its hundredth edition
And makes other naturalists blue.
Although, I must make the admission,
It Isn’t quite all of It true.
But now I am filled witb repining.
With worry and trouble and fear.
The president's ripped the gold lining
From out of my ebullient career.
He’s sent me a lemon so mellow
It’s laid me out frigid and flat.
And woret of It all, though It’s yellow,
It’s not a real lemon at that
