Do Spooks Fly?
NOVEL PROBLEMS FOR SOME ONE TO SOLVE.
Interesting problems are raised in correspondence received by the "Daily Express with respect to Sir A. Conan Doyle's address on "The New Revelation."
Mr. F. W. Duke, of Jewin-street, E.C., writes:—
"Sir A. Conan Doyle in his address on Spiritualism gave some information which, to many poor people like myself, can only leave us in "confusion worse confounded. Even if the sort of hospital for weakly souls is acceptable by some, the description of spirits wearing clothes requires explanation.
"Why should spirits wear clothes? What is the necessity? We are told they do not feel pain, so there is no need for protection, and other reasons that apply on this physical sphere cannot apply there. Is it that they cannot forsake the habit acquired here? Are there fashions, too? Our forefathers at one time wore little or no clothes. At that time did they appear on the spirit plane similarly disrobed?
"If a spiritual equivalent of a manufactured garment can be obtained there at will, may not other articles be similarly obtained — motor-cars, aeroplanes, etc.? The more we are told of this spiritual life the less spiritual it appears and the more perplexing. Nevertheless, it is vastly entertaining."
