The desire to see her, to talk with her, to measure the change in her grew very strong so strong that he meditated a call, but the thought of Clarke cut the resolution off before it was fully formed. "Probably Britt is right Clarke's rotten soul has fatally infected hers." When Weissmann came in Serviss turned to him and said: "Doctor, I want to ask you a very unusual question."
This principle of biology was first discovered and formulated by the great German Biologist, Weissmann. Summary of Principles. a. The propagation of offspring and the protection and support of the young and defenseless always involve sacrifice on the part of the parents and the stronger members of the race. b. Sacrifice made consciously for the race is, in the natural order of things, compensated.
I 'read after you, as they say out here. In fact, I've got a little 'farm, and take a shy at breeding the beasts myself. I'd like you to come in and give me a hint or two." "With pleasure," Serviss heartily responded. "So you know Weissmann?" "I used to.
As soon as Weissmann had finished taking his notes and measurements, he locked the door of the library and joined them all in the dining-room, where they were sipping coffee and nibbling cake. "We shall be obliged to shut out all young men from our committee," the old scientist jocularly remarked, as he stood looking down at them.
Our regard for her welfare far exceeds yours. Her troubles arise from her resistance. If she would yield herself entirely, she would be happy." As the voice paused, Morton asked, "Weissmann, can you hear what is being said to me?" "Very indistinctly," answered Weissmann. "What does it say?" asked Kate. "I can only hear a kind of jumble." Weissmann interjected; "I must ask you, Mrs.
As Kate remarked to Marion afterwards, it was a hard team to drive, for the table was too small to permit anything like private conversation at either end, and to enter upon general topics was to start Clarke and Weissmann into dialectic clamor. "I trusted in the food," she answered to Marion's query. "It was a good dinner and kept even the preacher silent part of the time."
The hand which I clasp is hot and dry, which is a singular symptom." Then to the others: "I am now holding both her hands. One is very hot, the other cold and damp and I feel no pulse." "She is always so," Mrs. Lambert explained. "She seems to die for the time being." "That is very strange," muttered Weissmann. "May I listen for her heart-beat?"
Clarke broke in, sharply: "Please don't quote what Serviss says. His view is that of the worldly wise materialist. You should listen to my advice not his." "You said you were anxious to have him on the committee." "Yes, because I thought his name would count, and that he could bring Weissmann but now I distrust him. He is too bigoted."
Thereupon Weissmann said, "I wish to nail these wristbands to the chair-arm. Do we sacrifice the cuffs?" he asked of Viola. "Yes, yes anything. Nail as hard as you please." "And the chair?" pursued the old man, glancing at Morton. "Oh, certainly," replied he. "Science goes before furniture in this house," and a couple of long brass tacks were driven firmly down through both tape and sleeve.
Then, moved by a desire to secure a comment on the curious phenomena of the séance, he related the story of his brief interview with his uncle Ben's ghost. "Now, do you suppose that Clarke, or the 'medium, could dig around among the dusty, forgotten lumber of my mind and get hold of a queer fact like that nickname?" "Why go so far round?" inquired Weissmann.
