...living are included visions of dying people. It has been supposed that all such visions can be accounted for by the theory that the spirit of the living person leaves its body and appears to others at a distance. This theory is difficult of belief, because in all recorded cases the ghost appears clothed, and it can hardly be conceived that an old hat has a spirit which can leave the hat and appear at a distance. An effort has been made to explain the apparitions by "telepathy," which may be defined as the ability of one mind to impress...
...Bowen seemed dazed for a moment, while Bangs scored well. At the end of the third round the men were so even that an extra round was thought necessary. At the end of this Bowen was declared the winner of the middle-weight cup. As is usual in case of a close decision, there was considerable discontent at the result.

The same thing is true of a three-hour paper, but obviously in a much less degree. For although in the latter case much more ground must be covered, the papers can be made so as to involve the tendencies of principles and facts discussed in the half year's work. Furthermore, the brief time in which a man surveys the work of the half year, if he has done his studying systematically...
