AMISLEADINGARTICLE.

ThePerth"DailyNews"cannot heveryhighlycomplimentedonthe articlesappearingfromtimetotime initsleadingcolumns.Theirone andonlyredeemingfeatureistheir brevityandeventhisqualityis frequentlycounterbalancedbyinaccuratestatementsandmaterialistic colourings.Theabsenceofanything liketrueliterarystylemaybeoverlookedanyonewhoexpectssucha luxuryintheleadingarticlesofthe "DailyNews"willindeed1.esadly disappointed.Viewedfromalogical standpoint,thesearticlesarenot onlyshallow,theyareevanescent; whentestedbyexperiencetheyare misleading,andwhenweignedinthe scalesoftruththeyseemtohave donnedthequalitiesoffeathers.

TheissueofFriday,6thism-,is beforeus.Inthenewscolumnswe areinformedbyamessagecabled fromLondon,dated5thinst.,that "attheannualmeetingoftheBritishAssociationatDundee,Dr. Schaefer,ProfessorofPhysiologyat EdinburghUniversity,deliveredthe presidentialaddress,thetitleofhis subjectbeing'TheOriginofLife.'

Thispieceofintelligencewasimmediatelyseizedbytheleaderwriter,whohavingremarkedthatthe addresswouldgiverisetoconsiderablecontroversy,wentonasfollows,undertheheading"Whatis Life?":-"TheProfessorboldlyassertsthatsupernaturalintervention intheoriginoflifeisdevoidofscientificfoundation.Thereisnothing verystartlingaboutthisassertion tothoseacquaintedwitothetrend ofmodernscience.Scientificmen havelongheldthatopinion."

Virchow(TheFreedomofScience

BalfourStewartandTait(The UnseenUniverse,page229) state thatallreallyscientificxpeiience tellsusthat"lifecanbeproduced fromalivingbeingonly."

"Formerly,"saysMaher(Psychology,Page547,6thedition,1905, Longman's,,London),"owingtothe imperfectmeansofexperiment,it wasgenerallysupposedthatspontaneousorequivocalgenerationwas amatterofeverydayoccurrence.Improvements,however,inthemicroscope,andadvance:ntheeeieneeof Chemistry,havecompletelydiscreditedsuchaview.Wefindscientists likeTyndallandHuxleyaffirming thatlivingbeingsareproducedonly bylivingbeings."
