New York, Dee. 23.—That in the
life beyond the spiritual beings of
men and women will walk, ride in
autos and flying machines, and eat,

opinion of Miss Lillian Whiting, a

the Wellesley College Observatory.
Furthermore, Miss Whiting asserts
that undoubtedly a community oi
this sort exists on the planet Mars or
some such heavenly body.
“ft would seem to me,” says Miss
Whiting, “that the change we call
death is merely the withdrawal of
the spiritual body from the physical
body and that we are much the same
person immediately after this that
we were before, only we probably en
ter on finer conditions and better
opportunities for progress.

swimming under water 75 feet at

She has been swimming for two
years. She began thus early, she
says; in order to some day swim to
Boston Light. Miss Wyman asserts

that swim, and so rival Boston’s
