Another witness of spiritualistic feats, MrDamrain, mentioned to the Dialectical Society a still more interesting circumstance—that " spiritual boys go to school and continue to groiv until 35—' old men return to that age.' " We should very much like to witness the latter phenomenon. The return of the shadow on the sun-dial of Ahaz was nothing to it. What a very complicated affair memory must be when a man of 35 " recollects" what he did at 70, and also at his previous age of 35. Probably they would call the " first" 35, +35, and the last — 35. Age in that world has evidently a double sign, like the roots of a quadratic expression.
