GHOSTLY MUSIC
FROM HALF-BUR,NT CHURCH. VANCOUVER, April 4. ■ Ghosts have long been reported from old-time churches, but it has remained for Victoria, 8.C., to report weird music from an edifice that is as yet less than half finished. From a new. .3,000,000 dollar cathedral being erected in that city has come from time to time music of an organ,: and at times the notes of a piano. “It is most amazing,” states the Rev. Cecil S. Quainton, of the cathedral. “I myelf, regardless of several other persons, have distinctly heard the music of an organ and at another time music from , a piano. An another occasion 1 heard a woman singing.” The music lias always been heard at night. When first heard, passersby thought that tile music came from an organ being installed in the new edifice, but it contains, as yet, no musical instrument whatever.
Close inspection has failed to solve the mystery, hut the theory has been advanced that the cathedral is acting as a reflector for some radio broadcasting station. Again, its copper roof is being suspected of acting as an aerial.
