At a meeting of the Shanghai Society for Psychical Research, held at the Palace Hotel on Wednesday, Mr. G. Home, n.se., spoke on the "Fundamentals of Psychical Research."" There was a small attendance of members, who listened with interest to Mr, Home's lecture. The speaker said that people were misled by facts—by many things that happened—and thought that evidence of no importance came from spirits. It was hard to discriminate. Phenomena could discovered after due investigation. To hold hands and sit round a table was not psychic research: one must know how to handle the spirits.
Various messages were read which had been sent to or received from those who had already passed from this life.
