tumblers are again produced the 'medium' takes her position upon them, with Mr. Fullerton standing next to her upon the right and Mr. Furness to the left. Mr. Sellers remains for some moments kneeling on the floor to enable himself better to hear any sounds that may be but faintly audible. The 'spirits' are repeatedly importuned by the 'medium' to produce the 'rappings,' but no response is heard until the company is about to abandon the experiment. Three raps are then audible. The raps are very light, but very distinct. "Mr. Fullerton states that he heard the raps. "MR. SELLERS. I heard a sound then, but it seemed as if it was around there. (Indicating the wall immediately in the rear of the 'medium.') "The tumblers are here moved further away from the wall, and the 'medium' resumes her position upon them. "MR. SELLERS. Will the 'Spirit' rap again? (No response.) "The 'MEDIUM.' Were any of you gentlemen acquainted with Mr. Seybert in his lifetime? "MR. FULLERTON. I saw him several times before his death.

There they are, as though right under the glass. (After a silence of forty seconds) Now I hear them again, very light--oh, very light. "Mr. Furness, with the permission of the 'medium,' _places his hand upon one of her feet_. "The 'MEDIUM.' There are raps now, strong--yes, I hear them. "MR. FURNESS (to the 'medium'). This is the most wonderful thing of all, Mrs. Kane; _I distinctly feel them in your foot_. There is not a particle of motion in your foot, but there is an unusual pulsation.
