A STRANGE VISION.

THE SCULLING RACE,

SPIRITUALIST’S EXPERIENCE.

According to a Waihi resident and a member of the local branch of the Association of Spiritualists, the result ”of the Webb-Arast sculling match verifies a remarkable vision, which, to investigators of psycht^ —* phenomena, is known as a demonstration of spiritual subjective clairvoyance, proving (as it is held by students ’of the same) the existence of unseen intelligence around us. On the night of April 7 of this year, eight months ago, the resident alleges that he saw the following scenes in the wa'king hours of the morning:— The first scene represented a large town. The streets were thronged with people, all surging about in great excitement. On the top front of a large stone building was erected the following word in large capitals, “Arnst.” The name was fixed in an iron frame, and stood out distinctly. Excited 'people rushed about placing their hands on one another’s shoulders, exclaiming 'Lirnst! Arnst!” The whole scene showed that something unexpected had happened. The next scene showed a portion of a river near a bend. The ripples and blue tint of the water could clearly be seen. Nothing else could be noticed, but the senses became conscious that -something extraordinary was happening, and that Arnst had the advantage and rowed in the winner. / The impression was most vivid, and a remarkable point was that nothing but the water and the bank of the river could be seen. This passed. The final scene showed in white outline the shorthand tracing of the name “Arnst.” This concluded the vision, ’a description of which wa3 written down and certified to by an officer of the Waihi Magistrate’s Court next day (April 8). It may be mentioned that at the time the match between Arnst a neb Webb had not been definitely ranged, nor had the man who experi- " enced the vision been thinking of the match. During'the'last two scenes he was practically awake. The bona-fides of the occurrence may be tested, as the signed and certified document is now in the hands of the clerk of the Court.
