Sal, the Papits.. QUOTE OF THE MONTH I am convinced that the trans- mitting and receiving sets in the human brain are operating on only a fraction of their power, and that each person carries within him a portable radio which is able to con- vey and receive messages from other minds. —Sydney J. Harris in the Detroit Free Press BREAKTHROUGH? Soe J. Harris is a columnist of the Chicago Daily News Syndicate —a skeptical and often astringent critic of the current scene. We were pleasantly surprised, recently, to note a recent column by Harris suggesting that by the year 2060 we all may be communi- cating telepathically. “Tf the human race does not blow itself into the next solar system, I would suggest that the neglected, and derided, field of mental telep- athy may be the most important breakthrough by the year 2060,” Harris writes. CO “T believe that animal telepathy —or clairvoyance, if you will —is absolutely proved. I have heard Goubttit. sce “We know that a man in a state of hypnosis is able to lift double the weight he can normally lift; that the mind has huge untapped resources for commanding the body. “Likewise, I am convinced, the mind can perform incredible feats of communication and reception if it is properly trained, tuned and freed from everyday anxieties. “As we become more rational and intellectual, we lose touch with the deep instinctual roots of our being. Our senses shrivel and our intui- tive impulses wither away. Intel- lectuals, for instance, are notori- ously insensitive to moods and cli- mates of feeling.

ELECTROPSY CHOMETRY — WHAT IS IT? This is an ultramodern bioelectronic method, where- in the most priceless metaphysical concepts are, at long last, EFFECTIVELY APPLIED thru correctly worded SELF-SUGGESTION recordings. Based on data afforded thru your personal electropsychometric examination— hence made personally for you—-ONLY YOU! In this powerful Space-Age methodology, the very old has become the VERY NEW! Positive mental images are created and sustained, powerfully, involuntarily, until they become realities. There is truth in the ancient “secret that whatever you accomplish, you must do thru the Power within you, via self-suggestion. There is no other way! But never before has there been a scientific mode for making this concept work. THERE IS NOW. FIND OUT ABOUT IT! We have many letters from examinees, such as this from Brenda Hollis, 1021 Tennessee Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio, an accomplished artist, who re- leased herself from a distressing situation in 1957 via this method. Recently she faced a new problem, and asked for further help. And now she writes: “I listened to the new SELF SUGGESTION tape you sent me, and I think it the most thrilling and perceptive concept I could ho for. The technique has evolved about 1,000%, hasn’t it! My deepest thanks.”’ Send $1 for book, THE FUTURE IS HERE! disclosing the steps of this method.

“The task of science is to recap- ture this primitive talent within the human organism.” CO SPEAKING IN TONGUES A RECENT issue of Time Maga- zine devoted nearly a page to the phenomena of “speaking in tongues” which goes back to the early Christian church and seems to be acquiring increased “respect- ability”. “Speaking in tongues” is a phe- nomenon in which individuals or whole congregations appear to be talking an unknown language — or pure gibberish. Peter inter- FATE A Moslem member of the Shia sect walks over a bed of glowing coals fanned by attendants at Karachi, Pakistan, dur- ing the Islamic month of Moharrum. The fire-walk- ing is performed in mem- ory of the Prophet Mo- hammed’s grandson Hus- sain, who was martyred in the burning desert of Karbala 13 centuries ago. (UPI photo.) preted the “gift of tongues” in a group of Gentiles as evidence they were imbued with the Holy Ghost. Recently an increasing number of modern churches have become ac- quainted with the phenomenon. Last Spring, the Rev. Dennis J. Bennett of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Van Nuys, Calif., was asked to resign because he participated with a number of his congregation in speaking in tongues. Of his 2,000 parishioners, about 700 developed an interest in the phenomenon. Time quotes Father Bennett as saying: “The gift of tongues is a freeing of the personality in ex-

It does not happen in trance. The person is releasing something deeper than the ordinary symbols of language.” It would be well to note that though the “tongues” spoken dur- ing these occasions are not known to the participants there is no proof they are not speaking an actual living language. Exclusive of dialects, there are about 3,700 languages spoken in the world, according to an estimate by Dr. Eric P. Hamp of the Uni- versity of Chicago. These break down into 78 major families. Some families, like Basque, include only a single language. There are 314 known living languages in North America from the Arctic Circle to Guatemala and about 1,200 more in South and Central America. Since few men can understand very many of these languages, how can we really know that the people who “speak in tongues” are not really talking in an obscure but actual language? Perhaps some- where, in some remote mountain or jungle fastness, an unknown tongue is being broadcast by mental radio. > om THE UNKNOWN LANGUAGE Ee A LANGUAGE —a message heard only within the mind — @

I SEE BY THE PAPERS was obviously received one day last September by a little dog of inde- terminate ancestry named Trixie. Trixie disappeared or was stolen 18 months before from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Apodaca then living at 815 Rio Grande N.W., Albuquerque, N.M. Shortly after- ward, the Apodacas moved to Los Padillas, about eight miles south of Albuquerque. Last spring they moved to 343. Isleta Blvd., S.W., Albuquerque. Somehow, despite their moves, Trixie found them. Apodaca was backing his car out of the drive- way early one morning when he spied the dog. He called, “Trixie.” Im a flash she was in the car “and all over me,” Apodaca said. “You should have seen her when she saw my wife.” A little dog had found her masters after 18 months and two moves.

Both are good family members. Among the apes the fe- male does most of the child-rear- ing. As if in direct answer to this unorthodoxy, Dr. Emile Zucker- kandl, a chemist from Caltech, re- cently announced the results of a study of the red blood pigment pat- terns of various animals. These hemoglobin “fingerprints” show that the blood of man is almost in- distinguishable from that of gorilla or chimpanzee —and presumably quite different from the blood of the wolf.

HAVE NEVER seen the pages of newspapers so full of mon- sters. As we go to press we have seen the following recent references —much abbreviated because we could devote an entire issue to monsters if we dared: ® Tehran, Iran — A small black poisonous fish, apparently not known in this area before, is blamed for the deaths of 28 persons in the Shatt al Arab River on the Western border of Iran. The fish is said to bite persons, and to have a poison sac shaped like a beard. Death is said to occur in minutes. ® Tampico, Mexico — The Shrimp boat Xocitl Elena put in here re- cently with a strange catch aboard. It was a monster, six feet thick and four feet long (or maybe it was four feet thick and six feet long). It had flippers on back and belly, a half-moon shaped tail, long teeth and skin so tough harpoons bounced off it. @ Batavia, N.Y.—A mysterious creature that screams like a ban- shee and leaves footprints eight- inches long is the object of a search here. Fifteen-year-old Donald Pa- lone told police he saw and heard it beneath the New York Central railroad bridge over Tonawanda Creek. Donald and friends saw it the next night and chased it into the water. They had a lantern along and when they lit a match to

Donald said the figure was more than five feet tall and “very wide.” Policemen and children were searching for it. @ London, England — Desmond Doig, a 38-year-old Englishman who has lived in India for 17 years, re- cently returned from Bhutan, on the border of Tibet, with a huge fur that he believes may be the pelt of a yeti or Abominable Snow- man. It has a golden sheen. The King of Bhutan said it was a “Dremo” which means “ape-bear.” 15 @ Winnipeg, Man.—Prof. J. A. McLeod of the University of Mani- toba has returned from an expedi- tion to Lake Manitoba with the be- lief that “there is something there.” Residents have reported sighting a “monster” and McLeod at first thought it might be a snap- ping turtle. But after talking with reliable witnesses, Professor Mc- Leod concluded there appeared to be a beast which left a wake at least eight feet behind its head. @ Reform, Ala.—A mysterious creature is still roaming the woods around nearby Clanton.

16 peaches, makes sounds like an ele- phant, and leaves footprints like an ape. @ Wellington, N.Z.—J. F. Phil- lips, an angler, was fishing in the Marokopa River in isolated King County, when he caught an enor- mous eel with a head as large as a sheep. He dragged it out on the bank. There it bit through the line and started wriggling after Phillips, “grinding its teeth and shaking its great head.” When it couldn’t catch him, the monster returned to the river. @ Albany, Ore.— The monster of Conser Lake is still on the loose. The creature reportedly stands on two webbed feet, is seven to eight feet high, and with its shaggy white hair somewhat resembles a gorilla. It has kept pace with a truck going 35 m.p.h. Never harmed anyone, though. ‘ @ Portland, Ind.— There have been several reports of a monster living in Hollow Block Lake near here. Carl Gearhkuart said the thing rose six feet outc of water only about 10 feet away from where he and four other; boys were fishing. The creature is described as squarish, ~-baalf the size of an automobile, and tends to scream like a woman. CO FISHING FOR MONSTERS HAT IS ONE to make of all these monster stories? FATE We do not know, but recently a world-famous marine biologist ad- mitted not only that there is a pos- sibility sea serpents exist but that he has already “fished” for them. He is Dr. Robert J. Menzies of the University of Southern Califor- nia, and he believes that if a ser- pent is found it will be in the great ocean trench south of the Isthmus of Panama and along the Chilean coast. Dr. Menzies has a $25,300 Na- tional Science Foundation grant to back up some of his theories. On one occasion he took a giant hook nearly two feet long and baited it with a huge squid. He cast over- board and fished two to four miles below the surface in a black and noiseless abyss where everybody knows little life can exist. He got his hook back — without the squid and badly bent although it was a strong piece of steel. CoO “ MONSTERS UWivexor™” E ARE PLEASED to fh the same time, the ex of two monsters.

Actually, the monster was a robot being tested for cold weather, and when Miss Brackett brushed against it, its electrical machinery went into ac- tion. Not only was Miss Brackett scared half to death but her screams caused the flight of the restaurant’s patrons. Turned out the robot had been made by one James Marshall who had been working on it two years. Rangeley was near panic, though, before the situation was explained. Just a make-believe monster. Several reports of a sea monster on the Massachusetts coast during FATE the summer seem to have been ex- plained by the harpooning near Revere of a giant ocean sunfish, weighing 1,800 pounds. The ocean sunfish is a rare creature, especially in New England waters. It looks more like a huge head than any- thing else and the one taken was seven feet long, three feet thick and eight feet wide. Little wonder that when fer re- ports came in of a creature with two big eyes, giant fins and looking something like an overturned whale- boat nobody would believe it. But that was how people described it —and that’s what the sunfish looked like when it was killed. YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND OUR Seventeenth Convention To be held at the Masonic Temple, 1335 So.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS AND THE STONES CAME FALLING DOWN HE BARRAGE of rocks began at 9 A.M. Friday, September 9. More than 200 egg-sized rocks came showering down from nowhere that day upon the used car lot of Harry W. Moore in Lynwood, a suburb of Los Angeles. Twenty policemen were on duty but the steady rain continued. They made a house-to-house search for the stone-throwers, found noth- ing. They spread themselves about the area, some manning binoculars, and others keeping their walkie- talkies in operation to send flying squads out in the direction of the latest barrage. 19 The next day, Saturday, the rock barrage began an hour earlier — at 8 A.M. As Patrolman Clarence Henderson outlined events: “We tried to keep count of them Friday, but we haven’t been keep- ing track since. He throws a half dozen or so, waits a while and then throws some more from a different direction. “Tt was sort of funny, Friday, but now... .

And they’re hitting within a radius of 40 to 50 feet of his target. The man sure can shoot.” There were few clues. Owner Harry Moore insisted that he had no enemies. He was sure the rocks weren’t being thrown by a dis- gruntled customer. On Saturday, two of the rocks hit Lot Attendant Tony Angelo. On Sunday hidden officers watch- ed Handyman Angelo emerge from the office carrying a rock, look about, and then pound the side of a car with it. He then reported that another rock had landed. Tony Angelo was arrested on a charge of obstructing officers in the line of duty. The rock fall stopped at least for the rest of that afternoon. By reasonable standards it would seem that the case was solved. But was it? The police couldn’t believe that Angelo had caused all the com- motion. Police Capt. Mervil Miller de- clared, “We’re still convinced that someone was catapulting rocks into the lot. Some fell Friday and this morning that Angelo couldn’t have been responsible for. He was stand- ing next to the officers when the rocks landed.” Furthermore, it was pointed out that the rocks, as well as pieces of

The Most Beautiful and Authentic TAROT CARDS and TAROT BOOK Ever Published! THE PICTORIAL KEY TO THE TAROT By Arthur Edward Waite With 78 Plates in Full Color THE AUTHENTIC TAROT CARDS Created by Pamela Colman Smith and Arthur Edward Waite Also in Full Color THE CARDS: The set of mystical Tarot Cards which Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith developed has become the most authoritative pack in existence. Those who have seen other cards sold from time to time will appreciate these treasures all the more because of their magni- ficent design and sumptuous colors. THE BOOK: Even more remarkable in this unique set is what Waite him- self could never provide in his lifetime — an edition of THE PICTORIAL KEY TO THE TAROT in which all 78 cards are also reproduced in full color. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that a complete deck of Tarot Cards has been reproduced within a book in full color. THE MYSTERY OF THE TAROT These cards are the very ones Poet T. S. Eliot refers to as ‘“‘the traditional Tarot’’ in his great poem The Waste Land. Waite intended his Tarot to convey to members of the Order of the Golden Dawn the secret tradition taught by the ancient mysteries. They have been widely used for Divination, Fortune-Telling and Pro- phecy. Each card has an allegorical meaning and the pack divides itself into sets corresponding with the steps of initiation into the Mysteries of the Magi. Contains complete exposition of the Rites and Mysteries of the Tarot, the Veil of Divination, the Greater and Lesser Arcana and other estoteric material. Designed to sell for $12.50.

As for Tony Angelo, he said he’d been hit by a truck when he was a boy in Buffalo, N.Y., and had been fascinated by publicity ever since. He claimed full responsibility — a responsibility that police weren’t _ready to give him. CO MRS. HOLCOMB’S DREAM M*: JouN Hotcoms of Meridi- an, Miss., changed buses on a trip through Tennessee and Ala- bama, and left her suitcase on one of the buses. When she got back to Meridian she appealed to the stationmaster there to find the luggage, but he was unsuccessful. Then Mrs. Hol- comb had a dream. She dreamed that she was in Dayton, Tenn., talking with two station attendants. She asked them if her missing suit- case was there and they said “yes.” The following day she told the Meridian stationmaster of her dream and he telephoned to Day- ton. Sure enough, the missing lug- gage was right where her dream had said it would be. oO “PLANTING” A GLACIER A GLACIER is a pretty nice thing to have under certain circum- FATE stances— especially when you live in an arid climate and depend on it for water. Recently the New York Times reported that villagers of Bunji in the Gilgit region of Northeast Pak- istan, had “planted” about three- quarters of a ton of ice which they had cut from a glacier and hauled to a selected site across 10 miles of mountainous terrain. The new site is at 16,000 feet altitude and the villagers say that if the transplant is successful this winter it will become deeply rooted and continue to grow each year. Previously, a human sacrifice was deemed necessary for the success of this operation. This year the vil- lagers sacrificed two bulls instead. io) SCHOOL OF WATER WITCHING Soa GrabE kids from a school in Winnipeg, Man., spent a good part of last summer learning to dowse for water. They were enthusiastic members of a class taught by Michael Huska, a teacher at Principal Sparling School, who believes in water witch- ing. As part of his system of working up enthusiasm, Teacher Huska led a group of 10 pupils over an area where, unknown to them an aque- duct was buried. He declares that the willow wands dipped in a pattern that

NEW-FOUND KNOWLEDGE OF FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH ALLIED WITH MODERN INSTITUTE OF LEARNING! For some time we have public- ly made it known that we pos- sess the secret of psycho-biological metamorphosis. We have success- fully demonstrated regeneration of human tissue and the cessation of senility. Moreover, we have broad- ened the intellectual faculties by re- plenishing the vital life force in the ~ human organism. With this knowl- edge we believe it is possible to prolong human life 150 years or more. But with this discovery comes a great need for the achievement of divine wisdom by which to control the emotions, fears, anxieties and worries so common in modern man. Without this the prolongation of life becomes vain . . . dangerously so. For this reason we have created a new, modern institution of learning in order to train Doctors of Coso- largy for professional careers in this philosophico-religious science. In this way the human family can best be informed of our revolution- ary findings.

CO RAIN, RAIN A SOMEWHAT BELATED clipping from Newsweek informs us that a bunch of Indians went to a convention at the Westward Ho Hotel in Phoenix last December. They whooped into the hotel’s patio and did a rain dance around the swimming pool. It began to rain within a few hours and over the next two days the Weather Bureau measured 1.16 inches—a deluge for Arizona. Which only needs a comment that the New Mexico State Fair hired some Zuni Indians to enter- tain rodeo show visitors with their dance ceremonials last September. The Fair officials weren’t paying much attention to the Indian dances because they had their own worries.— ~ Attendance wasn’t so good ei ac- count of the late afternoon rains that kept falling.

Let’s quote verbatim from The Salem News, Salem, Dent County, Mo., Thursday, December 31, 1959; “A weird-looking light in the sky spoiled a fox-hunting trip near the Lester Connell farm in the Jadwin community last Friday night “Tn the hunting party were Frank Andres and son Richard of St. Lou- is, who own a place near the Tur- tle community, and Mr. Connell and son Johnnie. The Andres fam- ily had gone over to the Connell place to run the dogs and had got- ten about a mile from the house when about 9:35 they saw in the sky the strange formation which appeared to be about ro to 12 feet from top to bottom and about 25 to 30 feet in length. It was very bright but had an am- ber-colored glow. It appeared to waver around but seemed to be coming in the general direction of the hunters. The fox hounds quit their chase and came running to- ward the hunters. “The four hunters watched th” object about 25 minutes ane

However, as soon as he turned his flashlight on, the strange object quickly van- ished over the ridge at a terrific speed. No noise was heard from the unusual phenomena. j “ <Pve heard lots of stories about such things before, Mr. Andres said, ‘and I never put much stock in them. But, brother, I saw this thing with my own eyes, and be- lieve me it was a scary looking thing.’ ” (Editors note: Obviously it was a piece of busted-up satellite. But don’t anyone mention it. That would be undesirable.) CO NANAIMO, B.C., Oct. 21, 1959 —Five Nanaimo hunters observed a bouncing, glowing ball over Lone Mound one night this past week- end. After bouncing a while, the object withdrew to a point some eight miles away, later returned and began bouncing up and down near the ground. Then it raced toward the west, stopped for an hour and finally zoomed off at great speed and disappeared. At least 35 other UFO sightings were reported in the area during the preceding week, —Curtis Fuller DRAMA! There is drama in the life of every individual on and off the stage!

An official claim is that qualified per- sons have not observed or photo- graphed UFO’'s. Here is evidence that the professional skeptics either are uninformed or wilfully ignoring facts. Authorities Who Believe in Flying Saucers Dee THE widespread, inces- sant campaign of derision di- rected against those who refuse to accept the official “explanations” about flying saucers, the number of persons who regard UFO's as real, extra-terrestrial craft continues to grow. Their logic tells them that they are right. The classic assault on the “be- lievers” has been the oft-repeated statement that “no astronomer, no moonwatch team, no camera or tele- scope ever has observed such strange flying objects as the so- called flying saucers.” The skeptics then conclude with their clincher — that the Air Force has examined more than 5700 reports of flying saucers between 1947 and 1957 and not one could be substantiated! Devastating if true, of course. But in reality this approach to the subject is merely an application of one of the oldest techniques in the long history of public debates: demolish the opposing thesis by a broad frontal attack and_ bolster your statements with a sprinkling of facts on a background of opin- ion. This often has proved a win- ning combination but it has one fa- tal flaw; it cannot stand comparison with the facts. 29
Page 30
30 Let’s begin with the conventional — opening statement of the skeptics: “No astronomer, no moonwatch ‘team, no camera or telescope has ever observed such objects as the so-called flying saucers.” Every segment of that claim is demonstrably false. It is a matter of record in scienti- fic journals that the first photo- graph of a flying object was taken by professional astronomers at the observatory at Zacatecas, Mexico. The director, Senor Jose Bonilla, had the telescope trained on the sun. It was a few minutes past 8:00 o’clock on the morning of August 12, 1883, when Bonilla was startled to observe a small luminous body traversing the disc of the sun. Since his camera was already set to photograph sun spots, it was rel- atively simple for him to photo- graph this intruder. In his official report he stated. “I had not re- covered from my surprise when the same phenomena was repeated! And that with such frequency that, in the space of two hours, I counted up to 283 bodies crossing the solar disc.” Senor Bonilla’s report says he counted 48 of these unusual bodies, moving from east to west, in a matter of less than half an hour. Some of them were perfectly round, others were elongated. All were opaque when they crossed the face of the sun and most of them became FATE luminous for a short period after- wards, Bonilla continues: “I photo- graphed most of these strange bodies in projection and in profile. Some appear round or spherical, but one notices in the photographs that the bodies are not spherical, but irregular in form.” Next morning, August 13, 1883, director Bonilla and his associates counted 116 of these strange ob- jects moving through the heavens during a period from 8:00 o’clock to 9:45. Other observatories were contacted by telegraph but they failed to locate the objects, presum- ably because of parallax, the ap- parent displacement due to having a different point of observation. Dr. Bonilla and his contempor- aries concluded that the things they had seen actually were moy- ing through space somewhere be- tween the earth and the moon, which would account for the paral- lax. His photographs, still extant, constitute a refutation of the claim that no strange objects have been seen or photographed by astro- nomers. Bonilla did both. And what of contemporary as- tronomers? Have they seen the fly- ing saucers? Certainly one of the most emin- ent living members of the profes- sion is Dr. H. Percy Wilkins, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical
Page 31
AUTHORITIES WHO BELIEVE IN FLYING SAUCERS 31 Society and one of the world’s top authorities on the moon. He was, by his own words, “Not only a skeptic but a firm unbeliever in any such objects, until I had the pleasure of undertaking a lecture tour of the United States.” Dr. Wilkins tells how he boarded a plane at Charleston, W. Va. en route to Atlanta on the morning of June 11, 1954. As the plane droned along over great sunlit, cumulus clouds at about 8000 feet, Dr. Wil- kins noticed two brilliant, oval- -shaped objects hovering above the tops of two lofty masses of cloud. He describes them as sharp-edged, glittering like burnished gold in the sunlight, about two miles from the plane on which he was a pas- senger. Suddenly he saw a third and similar object, hovering in tke shade of the same cloud mass, gray in color, possibly because it was unlighted by the sun. The first two objects, said Dr. Wilkins, be- gan moving into the wind. A few seconds later the third swung around in a wide are and followed them, vanishing into a thick cloud. The entire display had taken about two minutes. Dr. Wilkins, said “Certainly they were not caused by any optical or meteorlogical pecul- iarities.” Another famous astronomer had left the dwindling ranks of the skeptics. Among the other eminent astron- omers who have seen and reported UFO’s is NICAP board member Dr. James Bartlett, Jr. of Balti- more, Md., who said, “My belief in UFO’s is simply expressed. They do exist. They are some type of mechanism, controlled craft; their origin is unknown; their purpose undiscovered. Beyond this I have no definite conclusions.” For 25 years Frank Halstead was curator of the University of Min- nesota observatory at Duluth. After sighting two flying saucers in No- vember, 1955, he said, “All over the world credible witnesses are re- _ porting experiences similar to mine. Holding these people up to ridicule does not alter the existing facts. The time is long overdue for ac- cepting the presence of these things, whatever they are, and for dealing with them and the public on a basis of honesty and realism.” Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of the planet Pluto, and his family watched an object which he called a “space ship” and he commented, “These things, which appear to be directed, are unlike any phenomena I ever observed!” The assertion that the ATIC ex- amined some 5700 reports between 1947-1957 is in error. The figure is several thousand higher than 5700 —in fact, the ATIC itself admitted that it was examining re- ports at the rate of 700 per week in June of 1954 and not only were
Page 32
32 reports substantiated but the Air « Force itself had issued orders to shoot down the flying saucers if possible. And the Civil Aeronautics Board had published a booklet (il- lustrated with charts) showing how the unsubstantiated objects ap- peared on radar screens when they swarmed over Washington, D. C., in July and August of 1952. This is officially known as Technical De- velopment Report No. 180-CAB. I have a copy before me at this moment and [ heartily recommend it to the perusal of skeptics, in case they are interested in a little factual material. On the evening of January 7, 1948, after Captain Thomas Man- tell had perished in pursuit of the gigantic object that crossed Ken- tucky that afternoon, the official statement released by the com- manding officer at Godman Air Force Base said, “Captain Man- tell was killed while in pursuit of a flying saucer.” The evidence of the reality of flying saucers includes physical evi- dence in the form of bits of metal officially identified as emanating from Unidentified Flying Objects. Photographic evidence exists in mo- tion pictures and still pictures, black and white, and full color — some of them officially identified as photographs of Unidentified Fly- ing Objects (the official name for _ flying saucers). FATE Dr. Hermann Oberth, the world’s foremost authority on space travel and the father of the great Ger- man rocket team that brought us pell mell into the missile age, con- ducted a three year study of the ubiquitous flying saucers for the West German government. At the conclusion of the program in June, 1955, Dr. Oberth said, “They do not originate on this earth and probably do not originate in our solar system, but very likely come from another galaxy. It is our con- clusion that they propel themselves by distorting the gravitational field.” Dr. QOberth, obviously suffering from “flying saucer fantasies” nevertheless was promptly hired by the United States government and placed under a five year contract at the Huntsville, Ala., arsenal to help develop the Jupiter space rocket. When Dr. Oberth completed his term at Huntsville he was flown back to Frankfurt and there, late in 1959, he held another news con- ference. He repeated what he had said about flying saucers in 1955 and added that the United States is one of the nations that is trying to duplicate the propulsion system which the UFO’s presumably use. Dr. Oberth added, “Considerable success has been attained in this program and I believe that within five years, men will be able to trav-

Jon drive? No, said the NASA spokesman, electric propul- sion. Still another prominent citizen whose mental condition would seem to be above reproach is Gen. Na- than Twining, distinguished leader of World War II and later com- manding officer of the Air Force and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, top military position in the nation. General Twining said on May 15, 1954, in Amarillo, Tex. “The best brains in the Air Force are trying to solve this riddle (of the flying saucers). If they come from Mars they are so far ahead of us we have nothing to be afraid of!” This same General Twining, as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1959, received a letter from his friend, Vice Admiral R. N. Hill- enkoetter, USNR, inquiring wheth- er Twining knew what attempts, if any, had been made to communi- cate with the flying saucers. Twin- ing replied that many and various attempts had been made without success — for what was assumed to be physical reasons. Pressed for an amplification of what he meant by physical reasons General Twining declined further comment. According to Who’s Who, Ad- miral Hillenkoetter has served his country with distinction for many years. From 1947 to 1950 he was head of our Central Intelligence Agency. Admiral Hillenkoetter was, therefore, in this key position to handle global information when the saucers first broke into the head- lines all over the earth in 1947, He was at CIA when Commander Orrego came back from the Antarc- tic late in 1949 with his motion pictures of flying saucers circling Orrego’s fleet. Vice Admiral Hillenkoetter is now head of a major steamship line and also serves as chairman of the board of NICAP, a privately-fi- nanced organization based in Wash- ington, D. C., and devoted to study and publicizing of the available facts about flying saucers. In Feb- ruary, 1960, Admiral Hillenkoetter made front page news when he re- leased a copy of an Air Force order which alerted commanders of Air Bases around the globe to the “menace” of flying saucers. This Air Force order spelled out the specific steps to be taken in deal- ing with them and instructions for investigating sightings and reported landings of UFO’s. Hillenkoetter’s
Page 34
34 release showed that while the of- ficial policy was one of minimizing and ridiculing the existence of fly- ing saucers at the same time the Air Force regarded them as a seri- ous matter. Admiral Hillenkoetter’s predeces- sor as board chairman of NICAP, Vice Admiral Delmer Fahrney, USNR, was for more than 20 years head of the Navy’s guided missile ‘program and is credited with orig- inating the term “guided missile.” As commanding officer of the Navy base at Point Mugu, Calif., Fahr- ney often participated in the rocket test launchings which took place at White Sands, N. Mex. He was thoroughly familiar with the de- tails of the incident in 1948 when two flying saucers, circling a V-2 rocket as it climbed heavenward faster than a thousand miles an hour, were photographed, observed through binoculars and theodolites and tracked by radar. Therefore, when Admiral Fahr- ney issued a public statement on the subject of unidentified flying objects it received the front page attention it deserved. On January 15, 1957 he said, “Reliable reports indicate that there are objects com- ing into our atmosphere at very high speeds. No agency of this country or Russia is able to dupli- cate at this time the speeds and acceleration which radar and visual observers indicate these flying ob- FATE jects are able to attain. There are signs that an intelligence directs these objects, because of the way they fly. The way they change posi- tions in formation also would in- dicate they are directed. As long as unidentified flying objects continue to navigate through the atmosphere of ‘this earth there is an ‘urgent need to know’ generated through- out the Jand.” On the NICAP board, and shar- ing the views of Fahrney and Hill- enkoetter on the flying saucers, are Major Dewey Fournet USAFR, former head of an Air Force saucer investigation project; Captain Wil- liam Nash, of Pan-American air- lines, a multi-million mile flier who has seen flying saucers several times, once at close range; Major Donald Keyhoe, USMR, a veteran flier and noted aviation writer who first exposed the reality of the sau- cers back in 1950; and leaders from the fields of astronomy, phy- sics, aeronautics, rocketry, broad- casting, magazines and newspapers. Only one member of the United States Senate holds a jet pilot’s li- cense, Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. He is also a Brigadier General in the Air Force Reserve and as such is in close touch with many sources of information not available to the average citizen. Senator Goldwater told newsmen, “Flying saucers, unidentified flying objects, or whatever you choose to
Page 35
AUTHORITIES WHO BELIEVE IN FLYING SAUCERS 35 call them, are real. The Air Force has a project to investigate these reports, but when you ask about them they clam up.” If you, too, believe that flying saucers are real then you are in distinguished company. My own years of study of the riddle of the flying saucers has brought out one undeniable truth: the fundamental difference between those who believe in the reality of flying saucers and those who do not is that the believers are in- formed; the skeptics are not. In this, as in many other fields of hu- man endeavor, there is no such thing as an informed skeptic. His is the blind faith of wilful ignor- ance. — WONDERS OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE ESEARCH carried out for 25 years by Dr. Albert Up- ton at Whittier College in Cal- ifornia recently was reported to indicate that applied human in- telligence can be dramatically increased. Dr. Upton, Professor:of Eng- lish and Director of General Studies at Whittier, said he subjected 280 freshmen to a special system of instruction for eight months. He found that the measured intelligence, or 1.Q., of the group had increased by an average of 10.5 points, with some students scoring gains ranging up to 32 points. Dr. Upton believes the suc- cess of his experimental method is the result of awakening and mobilizing dormant analytical powers. In ordinary circumstan- ces these powers chiefly are trained in scientific work, but Dr. Upton found that apparent- ly they may be stimulated by applying the scientific method to language and general thought processes. The system Dr. Upton de- ‘veloped teaches the relationship between words and things. He explained that he tries to teach the student that new ideas and words resemble familiar ideas and words. His objective is to increase the human capacity to see an analogy between an idea or a metaphor he knows and an idea he wishes to under- stand. Once the student under- stands the use of analogies, Dr, Upton said, he has learned how to use the tools of thought. Dr. Upton feels that his method may hold the key to the release of inherent but un- used mental ability in the ma- jority of persons and offers the possibility that “the average American I.Q. can be raised significantly in a short period of time.” C9

DOES HIS REBELLIOUS GHOST PROWL? William Lyon Mackenzie, first mayor of Toronto, was the grandfather of William Lyon Mackenzie King, late prime minister of Canada and a Spiritualist. Born at Dundee, Scotland, in 1795, he emigrated to Canada where he became a shopkeep- er at York (now called Toronto). Always a rebel, he founded a newspaper, the “Col- onial Advocate,” in which his fiery at- tacks on the governing clique made him a political hero. He was elected to the Legislative — Assembly of Upper Canada in 1828 and reelected five times. In 1834 he became mayor of Toronto’s first civic government. He died in 1861 in his home on Bond Street (shown above). 36 “Faery

x The caretaker’s wife saw the ghost-woman leaning over her bed. As she stared, the fame slapped her. HOSTLY ACTIVITIES re- portedly have been upsetting the solemn atmosphere of an old house being preserved as a national shrine at 82 Bond Street in Tor- onto, Canada. The building once was the home of William Lyon Mackenzie, Tor- onto’s rebel first mayor. He spent the last years of his life in the house and died there in 1861. Now a museum of early Canadiana, it is owned by the William Lyon Mackenzie Homestead Foundation, which operates the house in trust on a non-profit basis. The flat at the top of the build- ing where caretakers have lived is now empty because two successive families have refused to stay there. These two families, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Edmunds and Mr. and Mrs. Alex Dobban, left because they were alarmed by a series of events for which they can find no explana- tion—unless one believes in ghosts. Some of the things that have happened in this house over the past four years include: @ A short man in a frock coat whose description matches William Lyon Mackenzie has been seen in a third-floor bedroom at night. @ A woman with long hair hang- ing over her shoulders has been seen both on the second and the third floors. @ A printing press purchased by Mackenzie in 1825, which is locked but still in working order, has been heard running in a basement room - after everyone in the house was in bed. - @A little old-fashioned piano which stands in the main-floor par- lor has been heard playing after the house was locked and the care- 37

38 taker’s family had retired for the night. ® Footsteps have been heard on the wooden stairs when no one was there. @ On one occasion the ghost slapped a caretaker’s wife, leaving red welts on her cheek. Yet none of these people believed in ghosts before moving into the Mackenzie homestead. And both couples enjoyed the work, keeping the place tidy, and showing visitors through its exhibits of Mackenzie mementoes. The flat is comfortable, the con- ditions excellent, but the caretakers left because of the ghosts. The house itself, located in old town, is small and its atmosphere of the early 19th Century has been preserved. In the parlor, to the right of the front hall, is a model figure of a 19th Century housewife in a red shawl. Her right hand holds a faded paper flower. There is a steeplechase clock under a glass bell, cracking oil portraits on the walls, a tasseled velvet table- cloth covers the table where a family album shows long-dead faces framed in lozenge-shaped depres- sions in its heavy pages. In one corner a small antique piano stands in silence—in the day time. Under a window in the basement is the scarred wooden desk which Mackenzie used when he was a member of the Legislative Assemb- FATE ly in Upper Canada in 1826. The great red leather chair in which he sat as the city’s first mayor in 1834 is there also. Wooden stairs lead up from the basement to the first floor, then on up to two bedrooms on the second floor, and finally to the caretaker’s apartment on the third. * oo x Mr. and Mrs. Alex Dobban moved into this apartment in April, 1960. They only stayed one month. Mr. Dobban had retired on a pen- sion from a maintenance job in a downtown Toronto office building and the Mackenzie House seemed like an ideal arrangement for the couple. It gave them a comfortable flat rent free and a small salary to supplement Dobban’s pension. When the Dobbans left they had no other job to go to. They rented a flat. Mr. Dobban told Andrew MacFarlane, reporter for The Tor- onto Telegram, “We couldn’t stay any longer because of the effect the place was having on my wife’s nerves. The things she heard were getting her down. We wouldn’t have left otherwise; but she could- n’t stand to stay overnight.” Mrs. Dobban said, “We hadn’t been here long when I heard foot- steps going up the stairs. I called to my husband. But he wasn’t there. There was no one else in the house. But I heard feet on the stairs.

THE HAUNTED HOME OF WILLIAM LYON MACKENZIE 39 “One night I woke up. There was a rumbling noise in the base- ment. At first I took it to be the oil burner. But my husband check- ed and the furnace wasn’t on. The noise I heard was the press. It’s locked. But I heard it running. I heard it that night and on one or two other nights. “On another night I heard the piano in the front room downstairs playing after we were in bed. There was no one else in the house but the piano was playing. It wasn’t a tune — just as if someone was hit- ting the keys with closed fists, or a child playing at the piano.” When asked if she thought the disturbances were caused by a ghost Mrs. Dobban answered, “Yes, I do. I didn’t believe in that sort of thing before. But how else can you explain it?” Mr. Dobban heard none of the things described by his wife but he did state that it was not until after Mrs. Dobban had heard the footsteps, the press and the piano that they were told about what the couple who had lived in the house before them had heard and seen. Peck It took more than three years of eerie experiences to drive Mr. and Mrs. Charles. Edmunds from the Mackenzie Homestead. The Ed- munds moved into the Mackenzie House on August 13, 1956, and stuck it out until April, 1960, just before the Dobbans were hired to take their places. During the Edmunds’ stay in the house they kept what they saw and heard to themselves for the most part — because these things were so unusual and because they were embarrassed to talk about them. In June of last year they detailed their experiences in sworn affidavits to The Toronto Telegram. The Edmunds told a story of three years of mounting tension during which Mrs. Edmunds lost almost 40 pounds in weight be- cause of the constant, oppressive presence of something that finally drove them out of their comfort- able, rent-free quarters. ‘ Mrs. Edmunds stated, “From the first day my husband and I went to stay at the Mackenzie Homestead we could hear footsteps on the stairs when there was no- body in the house but us. “The first day, when I was alone in the house, I could hear someone clearly, walking up the steps from the second floor to the top. “Nearly every day there were footsteps at times when there was no one there to make them. “One night I woke up at mid- night to see a lady standing over my bed. She wasn’t at the side, but at the head of the bed, leaning over me. There is no room for any- one to stand where she was. The bed is pushed up against the wall.
Page 40
40 She was hanging down, like a shad- ow, but I could see her clearly. Something seemed to touch me on the shoulder to wake me up. She had long hair hanging down in front of her shoulders, dark brown, I think. She had a long narrow face. Then she was gone. “Two years ago, early in March, I saw the Lady again. It was the same — except this time she reach- ed out and hit me. When I woke up my left eye was purple and bloodshot. “T also saw the man at night, a little bald man in a frock coat. I would just see him for a few sec- onds and then he would vanish. “T often saw one or the other standing in the room — at least eight or nine times. “A year ago last April I told my husband: ‘I have to get out of here. I had to get out of that house. If I didn’t get out I’d be carried out in a box. I think it was the strain all the time that made me feel this way. I went from 130 pounds to 90%4 pounds. I wasn’t frightened but it was getting my nerves down. It was just like know- ing there was someone watching you from behind all the time, from just over your shoulder. “Sometimes we’d sit watching the television. My husband might look up all of a sudden at the doorway. I knew what it was. You felt that someone had just come in. FATE “My son and his wife heard the piano playing at night when they were staying with us. When my husband and my son went to look —it stopped. “We could feel the ~homestead shaking with a rumbling noise some nights. It must have been the press in the basement. We thought at first it might be the subway. But we were too far from the subway... “J did not believe in ghosts when I went to stay at the Mackenzie Homestead. But I do now. It’s the only explanation I can think of, I wish to say that I would not say anything against the Mackenzies. They were hard working people and so are we. They were not hard on us. It’s just that the house was a strain on the nerves.” Charles Edmunds is a Royal Army pensioner who says he does not believe in the supernatural. At the same time he states in his af- fidavit to The Toronto Telegram: “Certain happenings during the three years and eight months my wife and I served as caretakers of the Mackenzie Homestead have convinced me that there is some- thing peculiar about the place. “On one occasion my wife and I were sleeping in the upstairs bed- room. She woke me up in the mid- dle of the night and said that she had seen a man standing beside her bed. My wife, to my certain knowl- edge, knew nothing of Mackenzie
Page 41
‘ THE HAUNTED HOME OF WILLIAM LYON MACKENZIE 4 er his history. All of the pictures in the homestead show Mackenzie as a man with hair on his head. The man my wife saw and des- cribed to me was completely bald with side whiskers. I had read about Mackenzie. He wore a wig to cover his baldness. But she did not know this. “On another occasion, just after we moved in, my two grandchildren, Susan (then aged four) and Ron- nie (then aged three) went from the upstairs bedroom down to the sec- end floor bathroom at night. A few minutes later there were ter- rific screams. I went down and they were both huddled in the bath- room, terrified. They said there was a lady in the bathroom. I asked where she was now and they said she just disappeared. “On another night my wife woke up screaming. She said, ‘There was a small man standing over the bed.’ She described Mackenzie. Another night, a woman came up to the bed and looked at my missus. She was a little woman, about my wife’s height. My wife said, ‘Dad, there was a woman here.’ I told her she was dreaming. “Another night my wife woke up and woke me. She was upset. She said the Lady had hit her. There were three red welts on the left side of her face. They were like finger marks. The next day her eye was bloodshot. Then it turned , black and blue. Something hit her. It wasn’t me. And I don’t think she could have done it herself. And there wasn’t anyone else in the house. “On another occasion something peculiar happened with some flowers we had in pots on a window ledge inside the house. This was in winter and we had the geraniums inside. We watered the plants twice a week, on Sundays and Wednes- days. On a Saturday morning we found that they all had been water- ed, although we hadn’t done it. There was water spilled all over the plants and the saucers they were standing in were full. There was mud on the curtains and holes in the earth as if someone had poked their fingers in. There was water on the dressing table. Neither of us had watered the plants and neither had anyone else. “We often heard footsteps on the stairs. Thumping footsteps like someone with heavy boots. This happened frequently when there was no one in the house but us, when we were sitting together up- stairs. “The whole house used to shake with a rumbling sound sometimes. My wife is convinced that this was Mackenzie’s press. “T am not an imaginative man and I do not believe in ghosts. But the fact is that the house was strange enough so that we had to
Page 42
42 leave. We would have stayed if it had not been for these happen- ings. But my wife could not stand it any longer.” SS ee The Edmunds’ son, Robert, and his wife, Minnie, stayed with them when they first moved into Mac- kenzie House and Robert also made a sworn statement saying that his wife woke him one night, saying that she heard the piano playing downstairs. “I heard it, too,” he said. “I cannot remember what the music was like, but it was the piano downstairs playing.” Robert’s wife, Minnie, woke him another night to say that the print- ing press in the basement was run- ning. Robert heard it also and said it made a rumbling, clanking noise like old presses he had seen in movies and on_ television -— “not like modern presses,” he said. Rob- ert and Minnie heard the piano playing three or four times, but they heard the printing press run only once. Robert said, “I do not believe in ghosts. But I find it hard to ex- plain what we heard.” Minnie said, “I. can think of no natural explanation of these oc- currences.” Se Se SE Late in June, 1960, the Toronto Telegram reporter, Andy MacFar- lane, spent a night in the haunted Homestead. He was completely fa- FATE miliar with the stories told by the families of the two former care- takers but he does not believe in ghosts. He wrote later that he was prepared not to see any spirits; and to drop dead if he did. Andrew MacFarlane and photog- rapher Joe Black entered the house a few minutes before midnight. They had an uncomfortable moment when their flashlight picked up the life-sized effigy of the woman in period dress which stands in the parlor. They then turned on some lights and admit that for the rest of the night they did not get out of sight of each other. After touring the old house they clicked off the parlor lights and sat on the antique and lumpy uphol- stery to await developments. Nothing happened! The two men did not see a trace of a ghost nor hear a single ghostly footfall. The stairs did not even creak. And eventually both men fell asleep in the draughty old parlor and didn’t wake up until dawn. It seems to have been assumed by the Edmunds and the Dobbans that the ghost Lady of the Home- stead is the wife of William Lyon Mackenzie. A brief review of the family history would indicate that this need not be the case. Mrs. Edmunds remembered that the Lady’s hair was long, hanging down past her shoulders in the 4 t

This could mean that the Lady was Mrs. Mackenzie but she could also be the ghost of one of the daughters, who ran a girls’ school in the house after Mackenzie died in 1861. ' For instance, she could have been Isabel Grace Mackenzie, who was a slim 18-year-old when her father died. Isabel later married and be- came the mother of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, a man much interested in the psychic and the occult himself. Kk Ok On the night of July 1, 1960, Archdeacon John Frank of Holy Trinity Church conducted an an- cient exorcism service in the Mac- kenzie Homestead. The prayer which the Archdea- con read to exorcise the ghosts came from the service of compline in the new Anglican prayer book. It read: “The Lord Almighty grant- eth a quiet night and a perfect end. O God, make speed to save us; O Lord, make haste to help us . . . Visit, we beseech Thee O Lord, this place and drive from it all the snares of the enemy; let Thy holy angels dwell herein to preserve us in peace. . . Look down, O Lord, from Thy heavenly throne, illumin- ate the darkness of this night with Thy celestial brightness, and from the sons of light banish the deeds of darkness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” Perhaps this exorcism has been successful in helping the restless spirits of the Mackenzie Homestead find peace. It has been 99 years since William Lyon Mackenzie © died. Perhaps a turbulent life leads to a turbulent after-life, but surely, they now deserve to rest. ae DOOM DEFERRED HYSICIANS at the Veterans Hospital in Bremerton, Wash., be- lieved that Joseph Mayerle, 37, a World War II Navy veteran, was doomed by lung cancer. They sent him home, convinced he would die in a few weeks. Recently, some seven months after he had been given up as hopeless, Mayerle was found robust and apparently cured. All he did, he said, was to eat well and get plenty of fresh air and sunlight. A hospital official stated that only 40 similar v recoveries were known.

By | TFoght New electronics research gives startling indications that humans do transmit measurable radio signals. wer MAY BE a human broadcast- ing station. Highly qualified electronics researchers recently have discovered what they believe is a positive clue to radio transmission and reception between human beings. If this is true, engineers. with slide rules soon may be explaining the mechanics of ESP to the experi- mental psychologists whose card tests and ink blots correlations have affirmed that there is such a thing as extra-sensory perception. The idea of radio reception be- tween individuals has been investi- gated by numerous prominent re- searchers. Thomas A. Edison was working on an electronic apparatus at. the time of his death. Upton Sinclair was so struck with the idea that he gave the title Mental Radio to a famous study of his wife’s phe- nomenal psychic abilities. Early research into human radio signals was based on the idea that the brain was the transmitter, ‘so the search was for “brain waves.” Some scientists, failing to find that the brain is a source of high fre- quency radio signals, have scorned the idea that human beings can ex- change thoughts across space, move objects without physical effort, or perform any other such phenomena. All this, in spite of the fact that such a primitive creature as the electric eel is able to generate easily detected high voltage, high frequency signals. And who can deny that the lowly eel can make things move with his signals. The error of early investigators seems to have been twofold: they were looking in the wrong place, and their equipment was too crude
Page 45
to detect the signals even if they had been investigating the correct areas. Now modern investigators have found that the muscles of the hu- man body do originate radio sig- ‘nals which caz be measured with specialized equipment. These sig- nals are produced when the brain causes electro-chemical changes which generate short electrical im- ‘pulses. These impulses trigger the contraction of the proper muscles. The medical profession is begin- ning to use graphs of these muscle signals to detect ailing muscles, much as the electrocardiograph is used to detect ailing hearts. The graphic picture of the electrical im- ‘pulses generated when a muscle is ‘used is called an electro-myogram. Newly developed electronic equip- ment designed to produce improved electro-myograms also has produced clues that may make “. . . radio transmission and reception between individuals no longer a wild specu- lation but a perfectly plausible phe- nomenon which engineers can easily explain to their medical colleagues.” Walter K. Volkers, Ph.D., presi- dent of Millivac Instruments Div., Cohu Electronics, Inc., Schenectady, N.Y., made just that statement in an address to the 1960 national conyention of the Institute of Radio Engineers. The address has been published by the institute as a formal technical paper. 45 f - Dr. Volkers and his company re- cently have perfected “low noise” electronic amplifiers which can am- plify high frequency, low voltage radio signals while eliminating in- ternal electronic distortion. These sensitive new instruments have per- mitted Dr. Volkers and his medical collaborator Dr. William Candib to record muscle signals in much clear- er and finer detail than ever before possible. ; The greater sensitivity of these instruments also permits the use of surface electrodes rather than needle electrodes inserted into the muscles. This, the scientists report, permits the measurement of signals from muscles that are in a normal, un- disturbed state. Thus, Drs. Volkers and Candib are the first scientists to obtain true pictures of the normal electric signals generated in the human body. With the new instruments the scientists have been able to detect a pattern in the impulses generated by a muscle which is contracting, or working. With the earlier equip- ment the electrical pulses seemed to be spaced in utterly random fashion without meaningful pattern. Dr. Volkers finds that the signal generated by the muscle increases as the muscle contracts. He and Dr. Candib believe that this in- crease in the signal results from the simultaneous energizing of several muscle fibers. They believe
Page 46
46 that this indicates that the human muscle fiber generates a form of electrical impulse .which can add its power to a similar signal pro- duced at the same instant by an- other fiber. The result of such cor- related or simultaneous “firing” is a single signal of much greater strength. This is the first evidence that the human muscle signals are some- times correlated, and it is the clue that indicates the possibility of human radio transmission. Dr. Vol- kers notes that if the human body can correlate many such small muscle signals so that they occur simultaneously, the electrical cap- ability of the body is tremendous. The investigators find that nor- mally there are few correlated sig- nals being generated in the human system. Most of the time, the nerve and muscle fibers are generating random or uncorrelated signals. These uncorrelated signals not only fail to add to each other, but the non-energized fibers act as drag- ging loads on the energized fibers. The situation is the same as when a dead engine on a four-motor air- plane not only fails to contribute its own power, but is a drag on the other engines. If many pulses could be cor- related, and the drag of non- energized fibers thus reduced, Dr. Volkers states that the human body could actually become a powerful FATE transmitter, quite comparable to some radio transmitters now in use. Dr. Volkers raises the question as to whether nature, on occasions or for special purposes, does pro- vide for such correlation of these human radio signals. Nature has made just such a provision to give the eel its power- ful shocking mechanism. The rela- tively high voltages generated by the amazing eel, and their short duration (less than 2 milli-seconds), demonstrate the great capabilities of neuro-muscular mechanisms if many small impulses are correlated and become additive. With his new instruments Dr, Volkers has succeeded in measur- ing the human muscle signal, but he states that further intensive research will be necessary to prove that the high frequency compo- nents of the human muscle signals, although minute in size, can be sufficiently strong to be used for communications between indivi- duals. An efficient biological receiving mechanism will have to be located in the human body. If Dr. Volkers had found that the body generates powerful radio signals, he would feel sure that the body also con- tains a receiver for such signals. Because the signals he detected are low in power, and would be suitable for communication only in the special correlated condition
Page 47
ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUES TO TELEPATHY 47 described, Dr. Volkers is not sure that the human body contains a receiver. However, if it can be proved that there are individuals who can normally correlate their muscle radio signals, the Doctor finds it reasonable to expect that a receiver exists and can be found within the human body. Consequently, Dr. Volkers now hopes to locate indi- under some other influence, cause viduals who can, either at will or their muscles and neuro-muscular junctions to generate short high voltage pulses. If you have a history of success in accomplishing feats of ESP, per- haps you will be the one to help Dr. Volkers prove the existence of the human broadcasting station through further experimentation. 3 AFRICA’S “GHOST MONSTER” CCORDING to a _ recent Reuters news dispatch, a strange creature called a “ghost monster” haunts a forest near the shores of Lake Nyasa in Nyasaland, a British protector- ate in Central Africa. Called ufiti—Afriean for “ghost”— the creature is described as being about six feet tall and having shaggy black hair. The ufiti reportedly inhab- its a mysterious, almost im- penetrable rain forest near the lake. An expedition to track down and identify the creature is being considered, Anthropol- ogists who have studied a plas- ter cast of the creature’s hind foot—revealing three toes and one large thumb—tentatively identify it as a genus of pon- gidae, which includes all the tail-less anthropoid apes. How- ever, they state there is a pos- sibility that the strange beast may belong to an entirely un- known species. Approximately 100 wfiti are said to have been observed and photographed by government game department men. Bernard Steele, acting game department director, states the ufiti is fas- cinated by any human activity. One of them, he related, built a crude platform in the upper branches of a tree and spent almost an entire day watching the construction of a road. It fled when several construction men finally approached it. The Nyasaland Executive Council is considered to have given the ufiti official recogni- tion by prohibiting hunters from trapping or shooting the creatures.

It was colorful enough as not to need the added varnishing being given it by the present-day TV shows which feature “heroes” bearing small resemblance to the men whose names they use. The danger in these shows, if there can be said to be danger, is that they will succeed in forever burying, under invented verbiage, the true Wild West, in forever dis- torting the personalities of the Wild West’s famous and infamous, and in forever wresting the credit from the West’s true heroes. One Western hero who has lost out to the TV shows is John Slaughter, the man who cleaned up the Tombstone Territory. John Slaughter has lost out to the legend of Wyatt Earp —a legend started by the old Police Gazette and con- tinued and enlarged upon by every 48 By ian Sheaall King romantic writer on the subject since then. Dead, Wyatt Earp has become a gallant defender of truth, righteousness, virtue, and above all, law and order. Alive, Wyatt Earp was a gambler, highway man, sharpie, and pal of such killers as Doc Holliday. At best Wyatt Earp could be called a controver- sial figure — and this stretches the truth. No matter what Earp’s true character, he did not make Tomb- stone, Ariz., a better place to live. And when he left, sometime after the Battle of OK Corral (another controversial affair) crime was as brazen and rampant as ever in that region. Then John Horton Slaughter be- came sheriff of Tombstone. And he was a sheriff with an advantage. He had a sixth sense. And his sixth sense (a sense above normal) en- abled him to clean up Tombstone, to make it a safe, decent place to

live, and, last of all, enabled him to die peacefully in bed at a fine old age. John Horton Slaughter was sheriff of Tombstone, Ariz., be- tween the years 1887 to 1890. He had been born in Louisiana, but was brought to Texas while he was still a baby. He grew up to be- come a successful rancher, moved to Arizona and eventually took on the job of bringing the law to Tomb- stone. He became famous during his lifetime for the gray horse he rode, the pearl-handled six-shooter he wore and for his coal-black eyes 49 John Slaughter, shown in his lat- er years (left), was sheriff who brought law and order to Tomb- stone, Arizona. Legend credits Wyatt Earp (above) with the feat. that “looked right through you.” John Slaughter himself was con- vinced that he lived under the pro- tection of a guardian angel. He be- lieved that he would die in bed in- stead of coming to the violent end common to men of his profession and .his wild time. On one sunshiny day he was riding his famous gray horse toward a ranch near Tubac, an ancient Spanish pueblo south of Tucson, on his way to buy some cattle. He carried a large amount of money, Suddenly, something told him that he was in danger. Not questioning

“59 ‘the mysterious signal for even a ‘second, he put spurs to his horse and thundered on into Tubac at ‘breakneck speed. There he rested a while and told a storekeeper about his most recent feeling of danger. Then he rode leisurely on to his ‘destination, no longer sensing that urgent signal. After he had gone three outlaws belonging to the ‘Curly Bill Brocius gang came into Tubac inquiring about Slaughter. When they were told they had missed him they appeared disgusted and frustrated. They had been ‘trailing him all the way from the San Pedro Valley, knowing about the money he carried and intend- ing to have it. On another occasion Slaughter and his wife were driving home to their ranch in their buckboard, from Tombstone. It was a_ peaceful, bright moonlit night. But suddenly John handed the reins to his wife and unholstered his gun. His wife ' was startled and he explained to her that he knew they would be safer if he had his gun in his hand. Farther along the trail a horseman emerged from the shadows. It was Ike Clanton, rustler and sworn enemy of Slaughter. He had his gun in his hand but seeing Slaugh- ter’s gun also unholstered and knowing quite well the accuracy of the black-eyed rancher’s shooting he rode on without speaking or making trouble. FATE Again Slaughter had been mys- teriously warned. In later years, after he had cleaned up the more lawless ele- ments of the Tombstone Territory he retired to his San Bernardino ranch. On the night of May 4, 1921, old John sat in the dining room of his ranch home reading a newspaper. Jess Fisher, the fore- man, Slaughter’s wife, and a guest, Edith Stowe, were talking in the living room. The window beside Slaughter looked out upon a com- missary store across the backyard. The window shade was raised and a lamp shone brightly. Then, from somewhere within or without, one of those strange danger signals came to Slaughter. Throw- his newspaper down he hurried into his bedroom to get his gun. He heard two shots from somewhere outside. Gun in hand the old man rushed to the door, determined as ever despite his age. The two women held him back. Jess Fisher, the foreman, had gone out to in- vestigate a noise in the commissary. Fisher was killed. They found him shot, his pockets rifled. It was discovered later that four Mexicans who worked on the ranch were in- volved in the plot. One of them had grown up on the ranch. It also was discovered that had Slaughter continued to read by the brightly lit window for an instant more he would have been killed

True to his belief in a guardian angel he never was killed. When he died in 1922 it was suddenly —— THE VALUE OF FORGETFULNESS F PEOPLE remembered ey- erything they learned or ex- perienced, they would be al- most as much at a disadvantage as if they were unable to re- member at all, according to a recent article in the technical publication Pfizer Septrum. Summing up what science knows about memory, the ar- ticle stated, “Our minds would be so filled with past painful experiences and so cluttered that we should be in a state of unbearable agony and _ hope- less confusion.” The memory process begins in the cerebral cortex which selects what is going to be re- membered from a mass of data that could be recalled. The cor- tex then transmits appropriate electrical impulses along the network of nerves, Once set up, the circuits can be made per- manent. A skill acquired after gained from much study, is re- tained although it may not be used for a long time. If this were not the case, said the ar- ticle, “we would go mad prac- ticing all our skill and rehears- ing all knowledge at the same time.” Science has acquired most of its knowledge of how memory works from the peculiar mem- ory losses suffered by alco- holies, epileptics, hysterics and schizophrenics, all of whom have been studied in great depth. Schizophrenics are swamped by collective imper- sonal memories which come from the inherited brain, the repository of our ancestral life, containing infinitely repeated patterns of psychic activity. The normal person is una- ware of this inheritance, but the psychotic dwells “in a place of primordial memory unmodi- much practice, or knowledge fied by personal experience.” — OO CRIME HITS HOME ETURNING home after a day on duty, a North Hollywood, Calif., policeman—who was not otherwise identified—found he had been the victim of a thief. While he had been working at his job to prevent crime, someone had stolen a power mower out of his garage.

The “House of Mystery” at Gold Hill, Ore., is crazily tilted structure, presumably at the heart of the mys- terious “Oregon Vortex.” Solving the Mystery of the “OREGON VORTEX” Bo Mid © Bhs HE OREGON “Vortex” at Gold Hill has attracted millions of - visitors since being opened to the public in 1930. It has even been written up in Fate Maga- zine. The “Vortex” is billed as a spherical field of force, half above 52 the ground and half below, where gravity goes haywire, balls roll up- hill and trees point to the mag- netic north. Within the so-called “Vortex” is the “House of Mystery.” It is said to have been an assay office built many years ago when gold was
Page 53
mined in the vicinity. Visitors are told it was abandoned in the 1890’s because scales used in weighing ore refused to function any longer. For some unrecorded reason the structure is supposed to have slid downhill, coming to rest in its present tilted position on the hillside. If there is indeed a “Vortex” it In this case, ‘natural laws have not yet been repealed. For the camera’s bright eye ~ _ proves that the mind's eye can be wrong—dead wrong!

But if vertical line is extended from short plumb chain on ceiling, and another line is drawn at right angles to it, it can be seen that what appears to be “uphill is actually a downhill gradient. 53

But since the opening of the “House of Mystery” with its clinking cash register, a number of other similar houses have sprung up around the country. Each is, by great fortune, located near the center of tourist traffic. And each, of course, is in the center of its own “Vortex.” The existence of all these places, plus my own observation, led me to investigate the original — the granddaddy of all such haywire houses. As an instrument I used my camera, with the results accom- panying this article. At our first stop, the guide took me to a small midget-carport struc- ture with two parallel and level concrete blocks buried at ground level. The guide stepped on the south slab. I stood on the north slab. “Sight along your eye level and

We changed places and I faced toward the north. “Now what do you see at eye level?” asked the guide. “The top of your head,” I re- plied. “Now I seem much taller.” This seemed an amazing thing, but when I began to study the sur- roundings I understood the reason for the illusion. Although the slabs are on level ground, all the rest of the area has a decided slope. Actually, when facing south we look downhill and when facing north we look uphill. The eyes have a tendency to follow definite re- ference lines, so tourists believe they are looking straight ahead when they look at each other at eye level. But, as a matter-of-fact, they are really looking slightly up
Page 56
_ 56 or slightly down without realizing it. By changing positions the error is magnified. My photographs of the guide and a tourist failed to show any change in height when viewed in relation to nearby upright sign poles. There was an apparent change only in relation to the tilted lines of the place — lines such as boards in a building and so on, which we are accustomed to seeing only at right angles. Even my camera was fooled in a small boarded yard at the north end of the House. Here, on a level platform, with a board fence made of slanted slats as a background, my little daughter changed places with a boy about her own height. The two children appeared mira- culously to change height. But then I noticed a plumb-line hanging from a tree branch in the yard. By stepping back I could get the hanging chain-bob on my left and the platform upon which the guide and a tourist were now about to “change height.” I took pictures of them and the pictures again seemed to show a decided change in height. But when one lines up the sub- jects with the plumb-line which also shows in the photographs, one can prove there is no change in height. Tourists are told that when they stand upright they do not conform FATE to the plumb-line. This is true, but the reasons are psychological. We all unconsciously tilt in the direction of the slanted boards on the high solid-boarded fence. Inside the “House of Mystery” the guide warns that there is a _ tendency to “fall up. We do feel this, but again the reasons are psy- chological. Without horizontal and vertical reference lines, we literally do not know which way is up. The crazily-slanted walls and _ floors throw our sense of balance out of kilter. We see bottles apparently rolling uphill on the tilted floor. The ac- companying photograph reveals that the floor is tilted, all right, but tilted down— not up. From a nearby wall, the guide unhooks a 28-pound iron weight suspended from the ceiling by a steel chain. The weight hangs at eye level. A tourist is invited to stand on the slanted flooring and push the weight right, then left. It “feels” as though it takes more strength to move the iron north than south. But the man who is moving the weight forgets that he has just stepped off a sharply tilted floor onto another sloped floor. He “balances” himself in such a position that he has better lev- erage in one direction than in an- other. I also feel that the broom-that- stands-by-itself- an d -leans-toward
Page 57
\ SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF THE “OREGON VORTEX” 37 Author claims a worn broom can be made to stand on a slope. Even so, parallel lines show that everyone in photo is leaning at about the same angle as broom. magnetic-north is sheer hocus-po- cus. While it is difficult to stand a new broom upright on a sloping floor, or a worn broom on level ground (not enough base at the bristle end to support a long hand- le), it is relatively easy to stand a worn broom, with curved bristles, on a slope. The lean-to-magnetic north is accomplished simply by turning the broom and placing it on dif- ferent inclines that make it lean in that direction! Then there is the “Reflex In- dicator.” The tourist stands on a cement disc and an arrow on the board in front of him indicates the direction (right or left) that he tilts. The arrow on the board shows one’s “reflex rating.” This, in my opinion, is merely a
Page 58
58 mind-suggestion experiment. ‘The tourist is told he will lean to right or left— and so he leans in the suggested direction. If a person steps onto a disc and merely stands there — without reading the indi- cator directions —he won’t “tilt”, although he may “shift” at random from time to time. One last thing. Tourists are told that inside the “Circle of Con- fusion”, approximately 165 feet, four and one-half inches in diame- ter, camera light meters refuse to FATE register properly. My light meter was indifferent to this phenomenon. It functioned properly and my pic- tures came out just like any other pictures I have shot under similar lighting conditions. The Oregon Vortex and _ its House of Mystery confuse people because of optical illusions. It’s an interesting scientific stunt and a lot of fun, but the only vortex is in the turning wheels of the cash register —the whirlwind of dollar bills. “MAKING CONTACT” KATHERINE BATES has a suggestion for those who want e to “make contact.” She says, “Give a few minutes every day when you are quite peaceful and quite alone, to concentrate your mind on the one you wish to speak to. Think of him or her as sim- ply as possible ... call them by name... speak to them as if they were as close to you as I fully believe they are... if you persevere, some realization of the presence of the beloved one will come to you, so undeniable and so convincing to your own con- sciousness that a whole college of philosophers or scientists will not be able to persuade you that the one you loved and lost was not in close touch with you.’’* *Quoted by Marcus Bach, in The Will To Believe, Prentice-Hall, Inc., from E.

MY WANDERING SPIRIT By Pauline Ferguson WAS IN the best of health and enjoying the balmy Southern California summer weather in 19- 49. I have lived here for over 30 years and, now, like’ most retired people do, I was just taking it easy. Suddenly I found myself walk- ing in a beautiful forest at night. It was not the kind of forest one finds in California but rather the kind which abounds in the middle states, east of the Mississippi. The walking was easy and pleas- ant. There was hardly any under- brush and the trees were not too close together. I was not in the least afraid, which seemed unusual for I do not go out for walks at night. I moved along blithely, with a youthful buoyancy and an over-all sense of well-being. Oc- casionally I stopped to admire the lush foliage of stately maples, poplars, elms and the slender, graceful birch trees. There was a bright, almost full moon shining 59 through the branches of the trees. Its silvery rays cast shadowy, Jacy patterns on the ground. I saw a light in the distance and walked towards it. As I drew nearer I noticed several more lights, some of them blinking. I went down a steep embank- ment to the edge of a highway. People stood in front of me. Not being very tall, I couldn’t see over their shoulders and wondered PAULINE FERGUSON
Page 60
60 what the confusion was about. I sensed that something terrible had happened. There were headlights from cars to the left and to the right. There were the motorcycle lights of the highway patrol; lan- terns and flashlights: everywhere gave a weird glow to the scene. The people in front of me were silent, so I asked questions. “What happened? Tell me, what happen- ed?” They gave no sign of hearing me. I pressed through the crowd and saw, on the other side of the highway, a big black sedan badly smashed, its hood caved in. A group of men, with their backs toward me, were working with a blow torch to extract someone still inside the car. I asked more questions. No one heard me; no one answered or noticed me. I stood for a moment just watching. Suddenly I felt I must hurry back where I had come from. I returned to the forest and was still walking there when I awoke in my own bed, in my little home here in California. I jumped out of bed, alarmed. I walked the floor wringing my hands, talking to myself. I knew it wasn’t just a dream. It was real. IT had been in a real place, with real people. I was overcome with fear. I felt sure’something dreadful had happened to one of my loved ones. I thought of calling my chil- dren but it was hours past mid- FATE night. The only thing I knew to do was pray. I fell on my knees and asked God to protect my loved ones. After praying I felt better. In the morning I called my son and daughter and their cheery voices assured me that everything was fine. However, in about three days a special delivery letter reached me from my sister who lives in Franklin, Ky. She wrote me that her only son had been killed in a car accident on the highway be- tween Franklin, Ky., and Nash+ ville, Tenn., about 10:30 at night. Later I received newspaper clip- pings of photographs taken at the scene of the accident. I recognized faces and things just as I had seen them during my dream so- journ in the forest and to the high- way. I had travelled in spirit to the scene of the accident. I had been correct in believing I had lost a loved one. A stalled, empty bus had been left by the side of the road a few miles out of Franklin, Ky. During the night the bus had rolled back- wards onto the highway. My neph- ew, Harland George Button, was taking a friend home that night in his new, shiny, black Buick. He must have come around the bend in the highway too fast to stop when he saw the dark bus. The car had crashed into the bus with
Page 61
TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES preat force. My nephew died on the way to the hospital. His com- panion was killed instantly. The blame for the accident was placed on the bus company. Two questions remain unan- swered in my mind. Why was I there in spirit? And if I could go to the scene of the accident in spirit why couldn’t I have warned Harland of the danger in his path? —Los Angeles, Calif. MUSIC IN THE AIR ‘ By Geneva Branam N SEPTEMBER, 1938, I was eight years old and we lived on a farm in a remote part of Tennessee about eight miles from Charleston and 15 miles from Cleveland. My mother was dead and, while my father and brothers went to work in the fields, a Negro woman, Sally Roberson, who lived close by looked after me. She loved nature and taught me to love it too. Every- day we would walk to the top of a hill and look at the lovely country- side stretched out below us. This September day was excep- tionally lovely. Not a cloud was in the sky. It seemed strange when we reached the top of the hill — every- thing was so still, not even the birds were singing. “Child,” Sally said, “guess we had better be starting back. Storms come up in a hurry this time of year and this stillness shore fore- 61 tells one big storm.” Then as we started to leave I heard, off in the distance, the sound of music. We stopped and looked. » There was no one in sight but the singing grew louder. It seemed to be coming closer. Then it seemed to be in the air all around us, as if we were sitting in the center of a great choir. : Sally Roberson looked at me and said in her calm way, “Don’t be afraid, child, tain’t nothing that will harm you.” Then the music began to fade in- to the distance as if the singers were marching slowly on. It could not have been a radio for we knew everyone for 30 miles around and none had a radio, ex- cept one person—and it was an earphone set. — Cleveland, Tenn. THROUGH LOVE ALONE By Blanche McGeough | Bee was a whipped, cowering little female mongrel with one blue eye and one brown when my father found her one cold stormy night under the platform of a build- ing owned by a northern California lumber company. She had sought refuge where he worked as a night watchman. Buleau was heavy with pups, starved and weary, and she drew back whimpering from Father’s night light. My father, that night, came home and got food for her
Page 62
62 and, in the weeks to come, cared for her after her four babies, of uncertain lineage, had appeared in the world. When he had convinced her that he was her friend, that she had nothing to fear, she willing- ly followed him home as he carried the puppies in a sack. He made a bed for them on our back porch. We already had another dog, Old Sam, a hound, who welcomed _ the new family with friendly barks and assurances that they had come to a fine new home. My mother, a semi-invalid for many years, made daily trips to visit the puppies and within a short time Buleau was confident that hers was a home of security, away from cruelty and harsh treatment. She and Old Sam would romp in the yard although they were both old. Within five years they made their ways only feebly around the yard and seldom left the home. My mother sickened and was taken to a local hospital where she died, in February, 1956. Her body was taken directly to the local undertaking parlor several blocks away both from our home and from the hospital. Yet when the funeral procession entered the cemetery, one-half mile out of Quincy, Calif., there beside the new made grave lay Old Sam and Buleau. When the funeral services were nearly over the two old dogs got to their feet and slowly made their FATE way out through the cemetery gate and on home. How they knew Mother had died, how they knew the day of her funeral, how they knew her grave, is a mystery known only to God and themselves. They had paid their last respects to the one they loved and who loved them. Buleau lived only three months after Mother’s death. But my sister in Quincy still cares for Old Sam — Los Angeles, Calif. THE VANISHING LADY By Joseph Kerska cE was 3:00 P.M. on a hot sum- mer day in Fresno, Calif., in 1936. Seventeen-year-old Carmen Chaney, of 1818 Tyler Street, was enjoying a friendly gossip on the lawn of her home with her 20-year- old Aunt Frankie. Carmen’s shape- ly legs were daringly revealed by the shorts she wore as were those of her Aunt Frankie, in open de- fiance of. her grandmother’s scold- ing. But Carmen was as lightheart- ed as she was attractive and not even the stifling heat of the day could dull her enjoyment of the leisurely afternoon. Time passed slowly as a gentle breeze whispered through the tops of the eucalyptus trees. Carmen noticed a strange old lady in black crossing Tyler Street at the intersection. The woman

Thinking the old lady must be ill Carmen and Frankie ran across the lawn and out into the street to help her. Their concern quickly changed to bewilderment when the old lady straightened up and started away in panic. Only 20 feet from her now, they were fascinated by her large, blazing eyes, set deep in a chalk-white face the skin of which appeared to be stretched tightly over her skull. She was about four feet, 10 inches tall, thin and scrawny; snow white hair showed in wisps under her large black hat; she wore a_ high-necked, long- sleeved dress and high button shoes of a decade gone by. The black of her hat, which was pulled down low over her face, as well as that of her dress was old to the point of decay as both had turned greenish. She carried no bag or purse. Al- together she was a pathetic figure. More than a dozen of Carmen’s neighbors were now staring intent- ly at the drama being enacted be- fore them. All had been lounging in their yards, chatting and enjoy- ing the faint breeze. The strange old lady turned to

For long moments they stood there as she hurried away as fast as her unsteady legs would take her. Then as she reached Blackstone and dis- appeared around the corner Carmen and Frankie unfroze. They walked swiftly along to the little alley which runs parallel to Tyler Street, separated only by the width of one row of houses. As they entered the alley they saw the strange old lady coming toward them. Two of the people who had watched the beginning of the drama were following Carmen and Frankie. Three others had entered the alley behind the old lady. Almost in the middle of the alley, the strange old lady appeared to realize she was surrounded. She stopped and for a brief moment stood there helplessly. Then she vanished! Disappeared in the blink of an eyelash! Carmen and Frankie had been approximately 70 feet from the old lady at the time. The three people behind her had been about the FATE same distance. Carmen’s heart pounded as she stared at the spot where only a moment ago the strange old lady had stood. Moments later, when they had recovered their senses, Carmen and the six others stammered excited questions at each other. They searched the alley even though it was clear there was no place for the little old lady to have gone. A crowd gathered in the alley as ex- cited voices exchanged opinions. Someone called the police and when they arrived and questioned the approximately 30 people who had seen her they started a search of the area. In spite of the seven witnesses who insisted she had vanished into the air, the police be- lieved she was ill and needed help. A thorough search of the alley and the houses on either side revealed nothing and the police, after a number of sarcastic comments, drove away. But the picture of the strange old lady remained so vividly im- pressed on Carmen’s mind she could not sleep through a whole night for months, and even now, 24 years later, she can describe her in detail. — San Francisco, Calif.

By VEAL Wharton REENACTED Doreen was alone in the cottage—bui a mirror showed her an old tragedy whose players were long dead. ACH ONE of us has had at one time or another when vis- iting a strange place, that strange, inexplicable feeling that we have been here before. Things look fa- miliar to us; we know there is a grocery store in the next street— and yet, we know we have never been here before. 67 It was this uncanny sensation which seized Doreen Betts Har- per the moment she and her hus- band, James, stepped from the train at Barnstaple in Devon one afternoon in September, 1956. Mar- ried only one day, the couple were on a 10-day honeymoon and had come to Devon because Doreen
Page 68
68 had been born there 19 years be- fore but had not been back since her parents had died in 1939. It was her wish that they should go to Devon and James, 25 and very much in love with his pretty au- burn-haired wife, agreed. _ Barnstaple proved to be full of holidaymakers and accommoda- tions were at a premium, but James managed to find a hotel room for his wife and himself for the night and the next morning they set out to find a honeymoon cottage. They were keen on getting to the coast where the Bay of Bideford sweeps inwards and the sands are soft and warm in September, but here again they ran into snags until they were advised by one real estate agent that there was a cottage perched a mile and a half from the cliff available at seven guineas a week. When the taxi cab dropped them at Braunton, a few miles from Barnstaple, Doreen still retained the sensation that she knew the district well. _ Wistaria Cottage was located about a quarter of a mile out of the village towards the sea and about 300 yards from the cliffs overlooking Bideford Bay. It was a rambling old-world cottage with three bed- rooms, a living room, study, dining room and kitchen. It was said lo- cally that it was once the hide- out of Cornish smugglers and even shipwreckers who set up lanterns FATE on the cliffs to lure ships to their doom on the rocks below. But the honeymoon couple were not interested so much in the his- tory of the cottage as they were in each other. Although Doreen con- tinued to puzzle over the fact that she knew the whole countryside and the cottage, the only one for about half a mile around. It lived up to its name and was literally a wistaria cottage, although some morning glory and sweet-scented creeper roses helped to cover all the exterior walls. In front a narrow country lane ran down from the popular summer resort of Ilfracombe to wind past the cottage on its way to Braun- ton and Barnstaple. Even this path Doreen knew and when, on the afternoon they took possession of the cottage, she and James walked to the clifftop overlooking the sea, she told him there was a lighthouse not far out to sea. James Harper found it so. In the cottage itself she went straight to the kitchen and coal bin outside without anyone telling her where they were located. Dor- een also told Harper exactly what they would find upstairs. A “You must have been here be- fore, perhaps as a child,” James remarked to his wife. “It is im- possible for anyone to know a place as you know this one unless you had been here before.”

17-YEAR-OLD MURDER REENACTED “69 “J was two years old when my parents died and Aunt Florence took me away to London,” Doreen said. “I have never been back in Devon. Aunt Florence never told me from which part of Devon we came, but I gathered it was from hereabouts because she often spoke of holidays at Bideford and Clov- elly, which aren’t far from here.” That evening James and his wife turned in early and were soon asleep, tired from travelling and from walking in the bracing sea air. But Doreen awoke in the night ter- rified. She is a sensible girl, who, at 19, had been private secretary to a London business executive. Yet there was something frighten- ing in the old-world cottage. Doreen, not wanting to awaken her husband, sat up in the bed listening to the distant pounding of the sea on the rocks and to the drizzle which was falling on the cottage. f She did not know what had wak- ened her, but now she thought she heard voices in another room. She rose quietly and slipped on a dress- ing-gown. Drawing the door closed behind her, she snapped on the light in the living room and in- stantly felt icy fear stab her heart. “T stood in the room and my eyes moved around it,” she said. “There was an oldish couch in one corner near the fireplace, two easy chairs of the 1920 era, a rocking chair, an old wooden table with twisted legs of the Queen Anne type, a footstool, some old paint- ings on the wall, and a large mir- ror hanging directly above the fireplace. My attention was drawn to the mirror. “T thought I saw something move in the mirror and kept my eyes focused on it. I saw the. door, which is opposite the mirror, open about half-way and I distinctly saw a youngish woman, maybe 26 years old or so, peep around the corner into the room, then close the door silently. “T was suddenly dead scared . and began calling to Jim my hus- band. He came running to me and demanded .to know what was wrong. I told Jim what I thought I had seen and together we search- ed the cottage, but there was nothing and the back and front doors and windows were as secure- ly locked as we had left them.” “You were overtired and had a nightmare,” Harper said not unkindly and led his wife back to bed. But Doreen knew that it was no dream. She never had suf- fered from nerves and she lay awake for a long time after they returned to bed sure that she heard someone moving around the cottage. After a morning spent by the sea the couple had lunch and James decided to do some fishing from
Page 70
70 the rocks while Doreen took a nap. She was dozing off when she distinctly heard someone calling. Instantly awake, she lay listen- ing. “Then I heard it again, someone calling ‘Eric! Eric!’ I thought that it was outside and then it occurred to me that it was a woman’s voice calling from within the house to someone outside. “T got up at once and went around the cottage and when I reached the kitchen I heard the same voice outside. The woman was speaking to a man and I just caught the tail-end of what she was saying. “ “How much longer can we stay here in safety, Eric? I am afraid. We must get away,’ the woman was Saying. “Then I opened the door to see who it was and there was no one in sight, not a soul for as far as I could see.” Nervous and afraid, Doreen Harper slipped on a coat and head- ed down to the rocks where her husband was sitting, smoking. She told him of what had happened and Harper, solicitously, did not scoff at what his wife said, but promised to investigate the strange occurrences. Jim Harper later ad- mitted that he had believed Doreen was overwrought with the long train journey from London and the excitement of their marriage. FATE That night before they turned in Jim made a thorough examina- tion of the doors and windows and assured himself that nothing could get into the cottage without break- ing in. Then he went to sleep con- tentedly with Doreen at his side. “T was tired and sleepy,” Doreen ° Harper remembered, ‘“‘and dozed off almost at once. In the night— it was a few minutes after 11 0o’- clock—I awoke and again lay lis- tening. Something had disturbed my sleep. “Then I heard it, a woman’s voice pleading from the very next room. I touched Jim’s arm and called very softly to him. He awoke and I whispered, “Listen, can you hear anything?” The woman was speaking in monotones Doreen Harper said. They heard her say, “We cannot stay here, Eric. We must get away. If he finds us here he will kill both of us.” And a man’s gruff voice an- swered, “George will never think of looking for us so close to him. He will be scouring London. We are quite safe here.” The woman said, “I am fright- ened, Eric. Please, let us go away.” James Harper gripped his wife’s arm and whispered, “Stay here!” He rose silently and tiptoed to the bedroom door. Doreen rose quietly too and when her husband Jim flung the door open she was
Page 71
17-YEAR-OLD MURDER REENACTED 71 right behind him. Jim’s fingers fumbled for a moment with the light switch and then the room was in brilliant light— but no one was there. The door leading to another bedroom was closed and the window curtains were drawn as the Harpers had left them. Jim rushed through the entire cottage, checking every room, window and door. He found no evidence that anyone had entered the cottage nor was there anyone, apart from themselves in the cottage. James looked at his wife. His face was ashen and worried. He said, “I thought you were over- tired and imagining things. Now I know there is something evil in this cottage. I don’t know what it is, but I mean to find out. The man who rented this place to us should have told us.” “Jim,” Doreen said trembling, “Jim, how do I fit into this thing? I knew the cottage! I knew the district before we came here! Where do I fit in?” “T do not know, perhaps you imagine you have been here be- fore,” Jim said. “Tam not imagining anything. I knew this cottage the moment I saw it; I knew Barnstaple; I knew every twist and turn—when we were walking down Dart Street I told you that when we turned the corner we would see the Bay View Hotel. When we entered this cottage I told you that the coal bin is out by the backdoor at the right around the corner? Why did ~ we come here? Because I had an urge to come here. I could not re- sist it. I am frightened, Jim. Let’s get away from here, now.’” “All right,” Jim said. “But I am going to find out a thing or two and demand my money back. Are you afraid to stay here while I go into Barnstaple? I won’t be long and you can pack our things while I am gone.” “T am not afraid during the day- time,” Doreen said “You can go and by the time you return I will be ready to leave.” Harper timed his departure to coincide with the arrival of the Braunton-Barnstaple bus at the crossroads a few hundred yards from the cottage and Doreen set about packing their clothes. But she had an uneasy feeling, “As if I were not alone in the house, as if someone was there with me, someone trying to reach me all the time.” “T was working in the bedroom when I heard a man’s voice,” she related. “I stopped in the act of closing a suitcase and listened, but I was suddenly seized by an aw- ful feeling as if I were about to witness something dreadful.” Outside, very close to her, she heard a man saying, “We are leav-
Page 72
Fas os 72 ing today so stop nagging me. That fool can never find us here, I don’t know what you are worry- ing about.” “Then,” Doreen Harper said, “T heard a woman’s voice pleading for the man to hurry up and while » she was talking there suddenly came another male voice, angry, high-pitched.” Doreen Harper moved from the bedroom into the living-room, closer to the voices. The two men were arguing and it sounded as if the woman was weeping. “T could stand it no longer,” Mrs. Harper said, “but threw the door open, fully expecting to see two men and a woman—but there was no one. Silence greeted me as I stood looking into the second bedroom which leads off the living- room. “Yhen I turned, uncertain what to do, whether to run or to defy whatever it was that haunted the cottage. The fear slowly began to leave me. Somehow I did not feel that same terror anymore. I turn- ed around and was returning to the bedroom to complete the pack- ing when a movement in the mir- ror caught my eye. I stopped and looked up in the mirror. I could not identify the people I saw, but they were there. “There were two rather hazy people, a man and woman, with their backs turned to the mirror; FATE in the background another shadowy figure faced the mirror. “T swung around and _ looked through the open door into the room. I could see nothing. But when I turned back to look in the mirror I saw them again. “Then JI heard the woman screaming, ‘Please don’t. Please don’t!’ “There was a muffled report, a stifled scream, followed at once by another report as of a gun fired a long distance off.” Mrs. Harper’s nerves failed her at this instant and she fled from the house to a knoll about 200 yards away where she sat looking down at the cottage seemingly ly- ing so peacefully below. “T saw a shadowy figure emerge from behind the house as if he had come from the kitchen door. I. saw him hurrying across the fields towards the cliff and there he vanished,” Mrs. Harper related. Her husband returned about two hours later and found her still sitting on the knoll. Together they returned to the cottage and finish- ed the packing. An hour later they returned to Barnstaple where the real estate agent refused to make them any refund on their payment for the rental of the cottage. He derided the idea of a haunted cottage and invited the Harpers to bring a lawsuit against

17-YEAR-OLD MURDER REENACTED 73 him. Harper’s attempts to find out something about Wistaria Cottage came to nothing in Barnstaple so he and Doreen decided to go to the county seat at Exeter where they searched for information in the public library. They found nothing. That evening Jim Harper said to his wife, “Let us assume that you were not dreaming when you heard the two shots and saw the man leaving the cottage. This means that there must have been a murder and the best place to go is the police station.” The sergeant listened attentive- ly to the couple’s story and then said; “I remember there was a dou- ble murder followed by a suicide in the Barnstaple area during the first of the war, about 1939. We have nothing on it here, but why not look in the newspaper files?” While Doreen hunted through the 1938 files, Harper looked through the 1939 file, but a veteran reporter came to tell them he re- membered the crime. _ “This man, Eric Wellicombe, was invalided out of the Air Force, after a crash, and came to stay with his friend, George Betts. “In the autumn of 1939 while Betts was away from home his wife and Wellicombe cleared out to- gether. Betts returned to find them gone and went absent without leave from the Air Force when his com- manding officer refused to give him compassionate leave. At the in- quest evidence was given that Betts - went to London and when he did not find his wife and friend there, he came back to Devon and traced them to a house near Barnstaple where he shot both of them and then jumped from the cliff,” report- er Tom Bowditch told the couple. Jim Harper asked in a strained voice, “Did Betts have children?” Bowditch thought for a moment before replying, “Yes, as a matter of fact there was a child, a little girl, I think, 18 months to two years old. They found the child in the cottage after the alarm was given by a woman who had come to clean up for Mrs. Betts and Mr. Wellicombe. I don’t remember what happened to the child.” ee Doreen found her husband’s hand on her arm and as he led her from the newspaper office; there was nothing to say. Doreen Betts Harper and her hus- band emigrated to Australia in Au- gust, 1957, and are now residents of Gladstone, Queensland. The au- thor of this story states that he has carefully checked the facts in this case and found them to be true—“except that it is not possible to check whether Mrs. Harper did in fact, see and hear these things. She says she did and there appears to be no reason to disbelieve her.”

The “LIVING MACHINE” of Reverend John Murray Spear The minister guided the building of a weird device while in trance—then sought to bring his creation to life. ae DISCOVER and scientifically control the principle of life bas been the dream of many men, but few ever have become involved in such a weird adventure as the Electrical Infant and New Motor Movement of John Murray Spear. The story has been buried in the early chronicles of American spirit- ualism. But it is of fascinating in- terest and worth bringing back to the light of day as John Murray Spears followers acclaimed it “God’s last, best gift to man . . . destined to revolutionize the whole world” and “infuse new life and vitality into all things, animate and inani- mate.” This combination of a homun- culus and of a perpetuum mobile or a “living machine” originated about 100 years ago with John Murray 74 By Ttedes ‘Sodon r¥YYvvvVYVYY VW YY ¥ \ Spear, a famous Universalist Min- ister who had distinguished himself in nearly all the benevolent but unpopular reforms of his day. John Murray Spear received his given name from John Murray the founder of Universalism and throughout his life claimed to be acting under the influence of the older man’s spirit. Electricity fascinated John Mur- ray Spear. Hopelessly unscientific and dominated by superstitious ideas, he combined copper and zinc batteries in the form of an armor around spiritualistic mediums of his day and expected to make phenom- enal discoveries. The idea had such a hold on his mind that he passed into states of dissociation in which “spirits of the dead” spoke through him and announced the coming of
Page 75
a great discovery along his line of research, Gradually the dream took defin- ite form. John Murray Spear needed a Mary for his New Dispensation. He found her in the person of Mrs. Semantha Mettler, the wife of a Boston doctor and a well known medium of the day. In her pres- _ ence he passed into the “superior state” and enunciated this message: “How fondly, how constantly, how widely is this one (Mrs. Met- tler) beloved! How beautiful is the influence this woman exerts! Wherever she is she attracts! In this particular she possesses a most remarkable character. Her friends know no bounds to their affections for this one; and there is nothing which they would leave undone to gratify her. There passes from this - woman a very marked influence. It is not precisely the religious influ- ence; it is not precisely the moral influence; it -is not precisely the practical influence; but it is, so to speak, a compost (sic!) of all; and these are charmingly intermingled, imparting a most adhesive influ- ence. “This medium (John Murray Spear) has been commissioned to wisely instruct this woman for a high purpose. There is before this woman a new and beautiful labor. At 10 o’clock tomorrow the purpose of his mission to this place will be unfolded. Let this woman be in the region of the tranquilities at that hour!” Note how time was allowed for this message to sink into a very receptive and believing mind from which flattery and the promise of a “new and beautiful labor” were likely to sweep every resistance. Mrs. Mettler had every reason to be thrilled. She believed that spirits were speaking through her when she passed into a state of trance. Now she heard the spirits speaking to her direct through a famous per- son for whom people had very high regard. No one who came into per- sonal relationship with John Mur- ray Spear ever doubted that he honestly believed in the spiritual origin of the various missions which . he undertook. There was nothing of the charlatan about him; he never labored for monetary gain. His fearless disregard of popular opinion and his unwavering adher- ence to ideas which he believed to be instigated by “the highest wis- dom” gained for him a respect which stood him in good stead in some extraordinary undertakings. As announced, at 10 o’clock on the following day John Murray Spear passed again into the “su- perior state” and, on bended knee, pronounced these words: “Father of Fathers, and Deity of Deities! Thy will be done on the - earths, as it is done in the heaven 75 of heavens. This fondly loved one
Page 76
76 (Mrs. Mettler) shall be consecrated to the charities. Thou shalt thence- forth be called ‘Charity’. “Receive now this blessed pow- er!” Here he closed Mrs. Mettler’s hand and breathed upon it. When she opened it, he said: “This hand shall be unfolded to dispense blessings. “Tt is done!” It would be difficult to explain the events that followed without understanding the extraordinary dedication of Mrs. Mettler to a service, the particular nature of which she had yet no knowledge. This dedication, the desire for serv- ice and the belief in spirits bound her into a psychic affinity with John Murray Spear. As a result she had some remarkable psychological ex- periences and prophetic visions at or about the same time that the Universalist minister began to build, at High Rock, Mass., the modern Frankenstein, the machine that was to be animated by a living principle which Mrs. Mettler’s maternal functions were to provide. The building of the machine cost _ $2,000. The money was contributed by John Murray Spear’s followers. They never questioned his authority and the high purpose which the money was to serve. The machine was not built after a prepared de- sign. Parts were added to it bit by bit according to measure- FATE ments given through the entranced preacher. It was said to have ana- logies to the human brain, heart, lungs, etc., but in reality it was nothing more than an agglomera- tion, a curious combination of zinc, copper and steel. When “the appointed time” ar- rived Mrs. Mettler received her summons. She came to visit the machine and was received by Spear’s followers in a state of hys- terical excitement. She passed into a state of true convulsions and her frenzy spread over the rest of the assembly. All persons present rec- ognized a correlation between them- selves and parts of the strange machine. This psychological identi- fication produced scenes of hysteria with which we are familiar from a study of religious revivals. At the height of the emotional crisis a miraculous pulsation and undula- tion was claimed to take place in the extremities of the weird ma- chine. Amidst mad shouts of victory, it was declared that a living principle - had been communicated to the ma- chine and that the mechanical in- fant was born. By the resolution of all present the modern Franken- stein was solemnly handed over to the Mother for nursing into in- creasing life. It was expected that the “child” would grow into a machine that would move the wheels of the

Crosby Hewitt, the editor of New Era of Boston, the princi- pal paper behind the New Motor movement, “that the advent of the science of all sciences, the philoso- phy of all philosophies, and the art of all arts has now fairly com- menced. The child is born; not long hence he will go alone. Then ke will dispute with the doctors in the Temples of Science.” ft is almost impossible to com- prehend the spell under which the strange experiment at High Rock held a large number of people. But as the news of the living machine spread disquieting rumors arose. It was whispered that strange prac- tices had taken place and that Mrs. Mettler was indeed the mother of the strange machine. In vain did Dr. Mettler, the husband of the f lady, strip from the story the gross -mask of absurdity. The public mind was aroused against the ma- chine which exposed motherhood to ridicule. Resentment grew to such a pitch that at Randolph, N.Y., where this modern Frankenstein had been transported to enjoy the advantage of a lofty electrical posi- tion, the populace marched on the machine, tore it to pieces and trampled it under their feet. John Murray Spear was heart- broken. He never attempted to re- build the machine but he did write the following: “Thank God, the principles which hhave been presented and the philos- ophy which has been communicated are beyond the reach of the mob and cannot be harmed by the slanders of the pulpit or the mis- representations of the press. ‘Truth crushed to earth shall rise again: the eternal years of God are hers,’ ” .

My Husband Has The pain in my wrist was: unbearable—then: a B, Ota N. Worrall S THE WIFE of a well known healer I am often asked this question: “Has your husband ever healed your” The answer to the question is: “Yes, my husband has healed ate Before I was married I suffered an injury to my left wrist. A small lump appeared. As time went by 78 the lump grew until it became the size of a large walnut. I consulted many doctors. Each tried a different method to reduce the lump — without success. Sur- gery was ruled out because it would have left my hand useless. After our marriage in 1928 the lump became quite painful and, in time, my wrist weakened and I found myself dropping things.
Page 79
Each night as I said my prayers I asked God to remove the lump, and I always added, “Make sure it doesn’t go any place else.” In other words, I ‘bargained with God, with- out results! ‘(On one particular night the pain in my wrist was unbearable. With tears in my eyes from the pain I prayed to God to please do something. ‘Then, as I lay in bed waiting for something to happen, I heard a voice, very distinct and clear, say, “Ask Ambrose to ‘touch your wrist and heal it!” Why, of course! Why hadn’t I thought of this before? We had been married about three years and in all that time I never had thought of asking him to heal my wrist. I had witnessed many miracles through his gift of healing, yet, here I was suffering needlessly, be- cause I did not ask. Turning to my husband who was half asleep, I said, “Darling, please heal my wrist.” In a sleepy voice he answered, “Y’ve been waiting for you to ask me.” He placed his hand over the lump, then promptly went to sleep. The next morning I completely forgot about the lump on my wrist in my hurry to get breakfast. I accompanied Ambrose to the garage, closed the doors after he drove off, and walked back toward the kitchen door. I stopped to say Good Morning to my next door neighbor who was hanging up her wash and we chat- ted for a few moments. Then she said, “I see you’ve had that awful Jump removed from your wrist.” I looked down at my wrist. It was perfectly healed! At that mo- ment all I could think of saying was, “Oh, yes, it is gone now.” I tried to remain calm as I walked back into my kitchen and closed the door. Then I literally collapsed onto the kitchen stool, almost overcome with emotion. My wrist was healed! “Thank You, God, Thank You, God,” was all I could say as the tears kept coming. That evening when Ambrose re- turned from the office I held out my wrist and proudly announced, “Tt’s gone, darling, my wrist is perfect.” His eyes filled with tears as he joined me in thanking God for an- other healing.

Author is famed writer, social ities _orist. Here heis in 1934 while run- ning for governor of California. our promise and tell you the - technique. My wife has, among her notes, a mass of writing on this subject in the form of instructions to Bob, and others who were in- terested. I tried to condense it, but found I could not satisfy her, and in the end I realized that her point of view is correct. No one objects to repetition of phrases in a legal - document, where the one essential is precision; and the same thing ap- plies to descriptions of these com- plicated mental processes. This was the most difficult writing task she ever undertook, and the reason lies in its newness, and the complexity of the mind itself. If you want to learn the art of conscious mindreading, this will tell 80 you how. Here is Craig’s state- ment: “The first thing you have to do is to learn the trick of undivided attention, or concentration. By these terms I mean something quite different from what is ordi- narily meant. One ‘concentrates’ on writing a chapter in a book, or on solving a problem in mathe- matics; but this is a complicated process of dividing one’s attention, giving it to one detail after another, judging, balancing, making de- cisions. The kind of concentration I mean is putting the attention on one object, or one uncomplicated thought, such as joy, or peace, and holding it there steadily. It isn’t thinking; it is inhibiting. thought, except for one thought, or one sin-
Page 81
gle object in thought. “You have to inhibit the impulse to think things about the object, to examine it, or appraise it, or to al- low memory-traits to attach them- selves to it. The average person has never heard of such a form of concentration, and so has to learn how to do it. Simultaneously, he must Jearn to relax, for strangely -enough, a part of concentration is complete relaxation. — “There seems to be a contradic- tion here, in the idea of simultane- ous concentration and relaxation. I do not know whether this is due to a contradiction in the nature of the mind itself, or to our understand- ing of its nature. Perhaps we each 81 Want to practice tuning in your own “mental radio?” Mary Craig Sinclair reveals the method she uses for getting “on the beam.” Mary Craig Sinclair, who authored a recent book on her husband, has ex- trasensory abilities described here. (U.P.1. Photos) have several mental entities, or minds, and one of these can sleep (be blankly unconscious), while an- other supervises the situation, main- taining the first one’s state of un- consciousness for a desired period, and then presenting to it some thought or picture agreed on in ad- vance, thus restoring it to con- sciousness. “Anyway, it is possible to be unconscious and conscious at the same time! Almost every one has had the experience of knowing, while sleeping, that he is having a bad dream and must awaken him- self from it. Certainly some con- scious entity is watching the dream, and knowing it is a dream; and yet the sleeper is ‘unconscious.’ Or perhaps there is no such thing as complete relaxation — until death. “All I can say is this: when I practice this art which I have learn-
Page 82
82 ed, with my mind concentrated on one simple thing, it is a relaxation as restful, as seemingly ‘complete,’ as when I am in that state called normal sleep. The attention is not allowed to be on the sensations of the body, or on anything but the one thing it is deliberately ‘concen- trated’ on. “Undivided concentration, ‘then, means, for purposes of this experi- ment, a state of complete relaxation, under specified control. To con- centrate in this undivided way you first give yourself a ‘suggestion’ to the effect that you will relax your mind and body, making the body insensitive and the mind a blank, and yet reserving the power to “break’ the concentration in a short time. By making the body insensi- tive I mean simply to relax com- pletely your mental hold of, or awareness of, all bodily sensation. After giving yourself this sugges- tion a few times, you proceed to relax both body and mind. Relax all mental interest in everything in the environment; inhibit all thoughts which try to wander into consciousness from the subcon- sciousness, or from wherever else thoughts come. This is clearly a more thorough affair than ‘just re- laxing.’ “Also, there is something else to it—the power of supervising the condition. You succeed presently in establishing a blank state of con- PATE sciousness, yet you have the power to become instantly conscious, also; to realize when you are about to go into a state of sleep, in which you have not the power of instantly re- turning to consciousness. Also, you control, to a certain degree, what is to be presented to consciousness when you are ready to become con- scious. For example, you want a message from the person who is sending you a message; you do not want a train of subconscious ‘day dreams.’ “All this is work; and so far, it is a bore. But when you have learn- ed to do it, it is an art worth know- ing. You can use it, not only for such experiments as telepathy and clairvoyance, but for improving your bodily health. To relax thor- oughly several times each day while holding on to a suggestion previ- ously ‘planted’ in the subconscious- ness is more beneficial to health than any other one measure I know. “The way to relax is to ‘let go.’ ‘Let go’ of every tense muscle, every tense spot, in the body. Pain is tension. Pain can be inhibited by suggestion followed by complete relaxation. Drop your body, a dead weight, from your conscious mind. Make your conscious mind a blank. It is the mind, conscious or subconscious, which holds the body tense. Give to the subcon- sciousness the suggestion of concen-
Page 83
TECHNIQUE FOR MENTAL RADIO 83 trating on one idea, and then com- pletely relax consciousness. To make the conscious mind a blank it is necessary to ‘let go’ of the body; just as to ‘let go’ of the body re- quires ‘letting go’ of consciousness of the body. If, after you have practiced ‘letting go’ of the body, you find that your mind is not a blank, then you have not succeeded in getting your body rid of all tension. Work at it until you can let both mind and body relax com- pletely. “Tt may help you to start as fol- lows: Relax the body as completely as possible. Then visualize a rose, or a violet—some pleasant, fa- miliar thing which does not arouse emotional memory-trains. Gaze steadily, peacefully, at the chosen object — think only of it— try not to let any memories it may arouse enter your mind. Keep attention steady, just seeing the color, or the shape of the flower and nothing else. Do not think things about the flower. Just look at it. Select one thing about it to concentrate on, such as its shape, or its color, or the two combined in a visual i image: ‘pink and round.’ “Tf you find that you are made nervous by this effort, it is apt to be due to the fact that you are thinking things. Maybe the object you have chosen has some buried memories of past unhappy events. Roses may suggest a lost sweet- heart, or a vanished garden where you once were happy and to which you long to return. If so, select some other flower to concentrate on. Flowers are usually the most restful, the things which are not so apt to be involved with distressing experiences. A bottle of ink might suggest the strain of mental work, a spoon might suggest medicine. So, find a peace-inspiring object to look at, with undivided attention. “Tf you succeed in doing this, you will find it hard not to drop asleep. But you must distinguish between this and the state you are to maintain. If you drop asleep, the sleep will be what is called auto- hypnotic sleep, and a after you have learned to induce it,”you will be able to concentrate on an idea, in- stead of the rose, and to carry this idea into the sleep with you as the idea to dominate the subconscious- ness while you sleep. This idea, taken with you into sleep in this way, will often act in the subcon- sciousness with the same power as the idea suggested by a hypnotist. If you have ever seen hypnotism, you will know what this means. You can learn to carry an idea of the restoration of health into this auto-hypnotic sleep, to act power- fully during sleep. Of course this curative effect is not always achieved. Any idea introduced into the subconsciousness may meet a counter-suggestion which, if you
Page 84
— 84 are ill, already exists in the sub- - consciousness, and a conflict may ensue. Thus, time and persever- ance may be necessary to success. “But this is another matter, and not the state for telepathy — in which you must avoid dropping in- “to a sleep. After you have prac- 2 | ticed the exercise of concentrating on a flower—and avoiding sleep —you will be able to concentrate on holding the peculiar blank state of mind which must be achieved if you are to make successful experi- ments in telepathy. There may be strain to start with, but it is get- ting rid of strain, both physical and mental, which constitutes relaxa- tion, or blankness, of the conscious mind. Practice will teach you what this state is, and after a while you can achieve it without strain. “The next step: ask some one to draw a half-dozen simple designs for you on ‘cards, or on slips of paper, and to fold them so that you cannot see the contents. They should be folded separately, so that you can handle one at a time. Place them on a table, or chair, beside your couch, or bed, in easy reach of your hand, so that you can pick them up, one at a time, while you. are stretched out on the bed, or couch, beside them. It is best at first to experiment in the dark, or at least in a dimly lit room, as light stimulates the eyes and inter- feres with relaxation. If you ex- FATE periment at night, have a table lamp within easy reach, so that you can turn the light off and on for each experiment without too much ex- ertion, as you must keep your body and mind as passive as possible for these experiments. If you have no reading light near, use a candle. You must have also a writing pad and pencil beside you. “After you have placed the draw- ings on the table, turn off the light and stretch your body full length on the couch. Close your eyes and relax your body. Relax completely, make the mind a complete blank and hold it blank. Do not think of anything. Thoughts will come. In- hibit them. Refuse to think. Do this for several moments. It is es- sential to induce a passive state of mind and body. If the mind is not passive, it feels body sensations. If the body is not relaxed, its sen- sations interfere with the necessary mental passivity. Each reacts on the other. “The next step, after having turned off the light and closed your eyes and relaxed mind and body full length on the couch, is to reach for the top drawing of the pile on the table. Hold it in your hand over your solar plexus. Hold it easily, without clutching it. Now, completely relaxed, hold your mind a blank again. Hold it so for a few moments, then give the mental order to the subconscious mind to
Page 85
TECHNIQUE FOR MENTAL RADIO 85 tell you what is on the paper you hold in your hand. Keep the eyes closed and the body relaxed, and give the order silently, and with as little mental exertion as possible. “However, it is necessary to give it clearly and positively, that is, with concentration on it. Say to the subconscious mind, ‘I want the picture which is on this card.” Then relax into blankness again and hold blankness a few moments, then try gently, without straining, to see whatever forms may appear on the void into which you look with closed eyes. Do not try to conjure up something to see; just wait ex- pectantly and let something come. “My experience is that fragments of forms appear first. For example, a curved line, or a straight one, or two lines of a triangle. But some- times the complete object. appears; swiftly, lightly, dimly-drawn, as on a moving picture film. These men- tal visions appear and disappear with lightning rapidity, never standing still unless quickly fixed by a de- liberate effort of consciousness. They are never in heavy lines, but - as if sketched delicately, in a slight- ly deeper shade of gray than that of the mental canvas. A person not used to such experiments may at first fail to observe them on the gray background of the mind, on which they appear and disappear so swiftly. Sometimes they are so vague that one gets only a notion of how they look before they vanish. Then one must ‘recall’ this first vision. Recall it by conscious effort, which is not the same thing as the method of passive waiting by which the vision was first induced. in- stead, it is as if one had seen with open eyes a fragment of a real picture, and now closes his eyes and looks at the memory of it and tries to ‘see’ it clearly. “Tt is necessary to recall this vision and make note of it, so as not to forget it. One is sure to for- get it— indeed it is his duty to do so — in the process of the next step, which is one of blankness again. This blankness is, of course, a de- liberate putting out of the conscious mind of all pictures, including the one just visioned. One must now order the subconscious not to pre- sent it to the conscious mind’s. picture-film again unless it is the right picture, 7.e., the one drawn on the card which is held in hand. Make the conscious mind blank again for a brief space. Then look again on the gray canvas of mind for a vision. This is to test whether the first vision came from subcon- scious guessing, or whether it came from the deeper mind — from some other source than that of the sub- conscious, which is so apt to offer a ‘guess,’ or false picture. “Do this whole performance two or three times, and if the first vision persists in coming back, accept it.
Page 86
86 As soon as you have accepted it — that is, decided that this is the cor- rect vision — turn on the light, and without looking at the card, or paper, which contains the real pic- ture, pick up the writing pad and pencil and make a sketch of every detail of the vision-picture. This is a nuisance, as it interrupts concen- tration and the desired passivity. But it is absolutely necessary to record the vision in every detail, before one looks at the real picture, the one on the card he has been holding in hand. If one does not make a record of his vision in ad- vance of looking at the card picture, he is certain to forget at least some part of it — maybe something which is essential. Worse yet, he is apt to fool himself; the mind is given to self-deception. As soon as it sees the real drawing, it not only forgets the vision, but it is apt to imagine that it visioned the picture it now sees on the card, which may or may not be true. Imagination is a far more active function than the av- erage person realizes. This con- scious-subconscious mind is ‘a liar,’ a weaver of fiction. It is the dream- mind, and also it is the mind of memory-trains. “Do not omit fragments which seem to be out of place in a pic- ture. These fragments may be the real things. If in doubt as to what the object of your vision is, do not try to guess. But if you have a FATE ‘hunch’ that something you have seen is connected somehow with a watch, for example, or with an automobile, make a note of this ‘hunch.’ I use this popular word to indicate a real presentation from some true source, something deeper and more dependable than our own subconscious minds. I call this the ‘deep mind’ in order to have a name for it. I do not know what it is, of course —I am only judging from the behavior of the phenomena. “Do not fail to record what seems to be a stray fragment, for it may be a perfect vision of some portion of the real picture. Record every- thing, and then later you can com- pare it carefully with the real draw- ing. Of course, do not be fantastic in your conclusions. Do not think you have gotten a correct vision of an automobile because you saw a circle which resembled a wheel. However, I once saw a circle and felé that it was an automobile wheel — felt it so vividly that I became overwhelmed with curiosity to see if my ‘feeling’ was correct, and forthwith turned on the light and examined the real picture in my hand. I found that it was in- deed the wheel of an automobile. But I do not do this kind of thing unless I have a very decided ‘hunch,’ as it tends to lead back to the natural impulse of the mind to ‘guess’ and guessing is one of the things one has to strive to
Page 87
TECHNIQUE FOR MENTAL RADIO 87 avoid. To a certain extent, one comes to know a difference between a guess and a ‘hunch.’ “The details of this technique are not to be taken as trifles. The whole issue of success or failure de- pends on them. At least, this is so in my case. Perhaps a spontaneous sensitive, or one who has a better method, has no such difficulties. I am just an average conscious- minded person, who set out de- liberately to find a way to test this tremendously important question of telepathy and clairvoyance, with- out having to depend on a ‘medi- um,’ who might be fooling himself, or me. It was by this method of careful attention to a technique of details that I have found it possible to get telepathic messages and to see pictures on hidden cards, and symbolic pictures of the contents of books. “This technique takes time, and patience, and training in the art of concentration. But this patience is in itself an excellent thing to learn, especially for nervous and _ sick people. The uses of mental concen- tration are too various and tre- mendously beneficial to enumerate here. The average person has al- most no power of concentration, as he will quickly discover by try- ing to hold his undivided attention on one simple object, such as a rose, or a bottle of ink, for just a few minutes. He will find that a thou- sand thoughts, usually association trains connected with the rose, or the ink, will appear on his mental canvas, interrupting his concentra- tion. He will find that his mind behaves exactly like a moving-pic- ture film, or a fireworks display. It is the division of attention that uses up energy, if I am not mis- taken. “Of course this technique is not ‘original.’ I got it by selecting from hints here and there in my read- ing, and from my general study and observation of the behavior of the mind. “Among the difficulties to be overcome —and this is one which is easily detected —is the appear- ing of visions of objects one has observed in the environment just before closing the eyes. When I close my eyes to make the next test, I invariably find that the last picture, and my own drawing of it, and also the electric light bulb which I have lighted in order to see the last picture — all these im- mediately appear on the horizon of my mind. It often takes quite a while to banish these memory- ghosts. And sometimes it is a mis- take to banish them, as the picture you hold in your hand may be quite similar to the preceding one. If, therefore, a picture resembling the preceding continues obstinately to represent itself, I usually accept it, and often find that the preced-
Page 88
88 ing and present cards contain simi- lar pictures. “Another difficulty is the way things sometimes appear in frag- ments, or sections, of the whole picture. A straight line may appear, and it may be either only a portion of the whole, or it may be all there is on the card. Then I have to resist the efforts of my imagina- tion to speculate as to what object this fragment may be part of. For instance, I see a series of points, and have the impulse to ‘guess’ a star, I must say no to this guess- work, unless the indescribable ‘hunch’ feeling assures me it is a star. I must tell myself it may be indeed a part of a star, but, on the other hand, it may be a complete picture of the drawing in hand, per- haps the letter W, or M, or it may be part of a pennant, or what not. Then I must start over, and hold blank a while. Then repeat the re- quest to the deep mind for the true picture. Now I may get a more complete picture, or maybe this fragment reappears alone, or maybe it repeats itself upside-down, or doubled up in most any way. “JT start all over once more and now I may get a series of fragments which follow each other and jump together as do the comic cartoons which are drawn on the screen with pen and ink. For instance, two points appear, then another appears separately and jumps to the first FATE two, and joins up with them, then two more. The result is a star, and this may be the true picture. It usually is. But sometimes this is the subconscious mind, or perhaps the conscious, trying to finish the object as it has ‘guessed’ it should be. This error of allowing the con- scious or the subconscious mind to finish the object is one to be most careful about. As one experiments, he realizes more and more that these two minds, the conscious and the subconscious, are really one, subconsciousness being only a dis- orderly store-house of memories. The third, or ‘deep mind’ is ap- parently the one which gives us our phenomena. Again I say, I do not know what this ‘deep mind? is; I use the words merely to have a name for that ‘other thing’ which. brings the message. “The conscious mind, combined with the subconscious, not only wants to finish the picture, but de- cides sometimes to eliminate a de- tail which does not belong to what it has guessed should be there. For example, I will discuss the draw- ings which have been given in this book. I ‘visioned’ what looked like a figure 5, except that at the top where there should be a small. verti- cal line projecting toward the right, there was a flare of very long lines converging at one end. I conscious- ly decided that the long lines were an exaggeration and multiplication
Page 89
TECHNIQUE FOR MENTAL RADIO 89 of what should properly be at the top of a five, and that I should not accept them. Here was conscious mind making a false decision. But by obeying the rules I had laid down in advance, I was saved from this error of consciousness. I closed my eyes, gave a call for the true picture, and the lines appeared again, so I included them in my drawing. When I opened the en- velope and looked at the picture inside, it was an oil derrick. So the flare of long lines was the real thing, while the figure 5 was the interloper — at least, so I now con- sciously decided. I thought that the figure 5 and the flare of lines were entirely separate mental images, one following the other so rapidly that they appeared to belong to- gether. “But again my conscious de- cision was in error. Several hours later, after I had put the whole matter out of my mind and had been attending to household duties, I suddenly remembered the paper jacket of a German edition of my husband’s novel, Oz, which was on a shelf in the next room to the one in which I had made my experi- ments. Why did I suddenly remem- ber this book? I had not noticed it for a long time — its jacket draw- ings were out of sight, as the book was wedged between many others on the book shelves in an incon- spicuous place in the room. On one side of the jacket of this book was a picture of three oil derricks; on the other side was a large dollar mark, almost covering one entire side of the book. I had seen this jacket, had indeed taken special notice of it, at the time of its ar- . rival from Germany. So here seems to have been a clear case of the subconscious mind at work during my experiment, adding to my true vision of an oil derrick, the subcon- sciously remembered dollar mark | which looked like a figure 5, partly hidden by the oil derrick in my vision. Here was a grand mix-up of the false guesses of conscious- ness and subconsciousness, and the true presentations from the ‘deep mind.’ “But this was not the end. This confusion in regard to the dollar mark went forward, in memory- trains to two other experiments, Several days later, I was trying a new set of drawings, and one of them caused in my mind a vision of the capital letter S. Instantly, two parallel straight lines crossed it, turning it into a dollar mark: $. Then it became an S again with- out the lines. Then the lines came back. This strange behavior of my vision continued. I was in a quand- ary as to which to accept, the S or the $. Then there appeared an old- fashioned money-bag, such as I used to see in my father’s bank as a child, full of small coins. It took
Page 90
go its place in the vision beside the dollar mark. I decided with the usual erroneous consciousness that this money-bag was a hint from my real mind, so I accepted the dollar mark as correct. But it turned out - not to be. When I looked at the drawing in hand it was a letter S. My subconsciousness had supplied the money-bag, and the two paral- lel lines. “Several days later, in a vision with a third set of drawings, I saw a letter S, and then at once the bag of small change appeared, but there were no parallel lines on the S. This time the real drawing was a dollar mark! So, my subconscious- ness, as soon as the dollar mark had appeared in subconsciousness, had meddled again; it had remembered the last experiment and the scold- ing I, had given it for its guess work, so it now subtracted the parallel lines from the new vision to make it correct, according to the last experiment. It had remembered the last experiment only, forgetting the first one, of the oil derrick, just as I had ordered it to do on the occasion of the second experiment. So, it subtracted the two parallel lines, but it added the remembered bag of money, which I had included in my scolding. From this kind of interference by the subconscious- ness, I realized that it is indeed no simple matter to get things into consciousness from the ‘deep mind’ FATE without guesses and additions and subtractions made by the subcon- sciousness. Why the subconscious should meddle, I do not know. But it does. Its behavior is exactly like that of the conscious mind, which is also prone to guessing. All this sounds fantastic — to any one who has not studied his mind. But I tell you how it seems to me. “Maybe everything comes from the subconscious. Maybe there is no ‘deep mind.’ Maybe the subcon- scious gets its knowledge of what is on the drawing directly from the drawing, and is merely blundering around, adding details by guess- work to what it has seen incom- pletely. But I think that these ex- periments prove that this is not the case. J think a study of them shows that a true’ vision comes into the subconsciousness, not directly from the drawing, but from another mind which has some means of knowing, and sending to consciousness via the subconsciousness whatever I ask it for. Of course I cannot attempt to prove this here. It was one of the questions to which I was seek- ing an answer, and the result seems to point to the existence of a deeper mind, showing how its behavior is quite different from that of the subconscious. “T wanted to find out if the true vision could in any way be dis- tinguished from ‘imagination,’ or these busy guesses of the subcon-
Page 91
TECHNIQUE FOR MENTAL RADIO 91 sciousness. To help myself in this matter, I first made an examina- tion of exactly how these guesses come. I said to myself: every thought that ever comes to con- sciousness, excepting those due to direct outside stimulation, may pro- ceed from some deeper source, and by subconscious memory-trains at- taching to them, appear to be the _work of ,subconsciousness. So I shut my eyes and made my mind blank, without calling on my mind to present any definite thing. I had no drawing in my hand. After a brief space of blankness, I relaxed the enforced blankness and waited, dreamily, for what might come. A picture soon came, with a whole memory-train. First a girl in a large garden hat, then a garden path and flowers bordering it, then a spade, a wheeblarrow, and so on — things associated in my memory with a girl in a garden hat. As to where the girl in the hat came from, _ I know not. As to why she should come instead of any other of bil- lions of things seen by me during my life, I know not. I had not asked my mind for her. The ques- tion of why she came is interesting. “But it was easy to account for the other things — the association- train. I learned from this experi- ment, and several repetitions of it, that something always came—a girl, or a steamship, or the fact that I had not attended to some house- hold duty, or what not —and a train of associated ideas followed. I learned, in a more or.less vague way, how these things behaved, and how I felt about them. This en- abled me to notice, when later I got a true vision, that there was a difference between the way this true vision came and the way the ‘idle’ visions came. When the true visions came, there usually came with them a ‘something’ which I call a ‘hunch.’ There was, of course, always in my consciousness the question: is this the right thing, or not? When the true vision came, this , question seemed to receive an answer, ‘yes,’ as if some intelligent entity was directly informing me. “This was not always the case. At times no answer came, or at least, if it came, it was obscured by guesses. But usually it did, after I had watched for it, and a sort of thrill of triumph came with it, quite different from the quiet way in which the money-bag had appeared in answer to my uncertainty. The subconscious answers questions, and its answers are always false; its answers come quietly, like a thief in the night. But the ‘other’ mind, the ‘deep mind’ answers questions, too, and these answers come, not quietly, but as if by ‘inspiration,’ whatever that is — with a rustling of wings, with gladness and con- viction. These two minds seem dif- ferent from each other. One lies

Others on this search may have found these same things,. but the conclusions they have drawn may not turn out to be the ones I shall draw. “One or two other things of in- terest should perhaps be mentioned. First, I found that, in doing a series of several drawings, the percentage of successes was higher in the first three attempts. Then there began to be failures, alternating with suc- cesses. This may have been due to the fact that the memory-pictures of these first three experiments now constituted a difficulty. So much attention had to be given to inhibit- ing these memory-pictures, and in deciding whether or not they were to be inhibited. Or it may be due to some other cause, such as fatigue. - 2G O-02Gm FATE “The second detail is that during the earliest experiments, I de- veloped a headache. I think this was due to the fact that I strained my closed eyes trying to see with them. I mean, of course, trying to see a vision, not the card in my hand. Using the eyes to see with is a habit, and habits are not easily overcome. I soon learned not to use my eyes, at least not in a strain- ed way, and this was the end of the headaches. However, this use of the eyes in telepathy may perhaps mean more than a mere habit. The men- tal canvas on which these ‘visions’ are projected seems to be spread in the eyes, and it is the eyes which seem to see them — despite the fact that the room may be dark, the eyes closed, and the drawing on the paper be wrapped in thick covering and not within normal range of the eyes. But this may be due to the habit of associating all pictures with your eyes.” OBJECTIVIZED OBSESSION OR SEVERAL months, according to the German publication Der Stern, a Czech psychiatrist worked to cure a patient who was obsessed with the notion that he was going to inherit a fortune from a mysterious “uncle” in America. Finally the man was re- leased from the hospital as cured. The next day he received a telegram informing him that he had inherited $70,000 from a cousin who had died in the United States. BICm

AAAsAAAAAAAAAA GHOST IN A MODEL T By Ruth Berkshire T WAS just daylight and my husband, the late Sgt. Frank R. Berkshire, of the Los Angeles police department, and I were nearing our destination, a little park on the oceanside near Lompoc, Calif. My unele, Fred Parker, was caretaker there in that year of 1935 and for a number of other years before and after this, We were driving quite fast» on the dusty, dirt road and spoke of being thankful we didn’t “have to eat dust” from any car ahead of us. However, a sharp bend in the road told us we had spoken too soon; my husband slammed on his brakes to avoid running down a shiny Mod- el T sedan that was ahead, going in the same direction we were. Later we remembered it had not kicked up any dust before we saw it. Hither that or it had been parked in the road before we rounded the bend. Unable to pass and feeling sympa- thetic towards the old car and its lonely driver, we kept our speed down in order to avoid the clouds of dust that the car now threw up. 93 We followed the Ford as it bounced along, now in sight, now out of sight, until finally the cloud of dust swung to the right and left the road, : We were curious and looked at the old house as we went by. It ap- peared to be uninhabited. We could- n’t see the car and wondered aloud where it could have gone. “Who is the man out this way who drives a very shiny well-kept Model T?” we asked Uncle Fred. We described our experience. My aunt and uncle looked at éach other with one of those “some- one-else-has-seen-him” glances and then they told us that the man had been dead and buried for some years but that others besides our- selves at times had seen the car and its driver. My uncle told us his name but I do not remember it. I do remem- ber that their statement was brief and that they seemed unwilling to enlarge on the subject. After all these many years I am thinking that perhaps the man and his Ford were only seen by those who would soon die. My husband, who was truly “my other half,” died

AFFAIR AT TOLLEFSON FARM By Agnes Benswerter As Told To Cecil de Vada HE TOLLEFSON farm was known in the County of Nobles, Minn., for its large barn with the spacious hay loft where dances were held occasionally, and for the big grove of box elders and maples which screened it from the public road, In 1914 the place was tenanted by Arnold Ackeson, a bachelor in his early thirties. He put on several barn dances after the barns mow had been fed empty of its winter hay supply. He was a good host to the community’s younger set. Fred Cotner was a _ transient farm laborer, a stranger in the locality and younger than Ackeson. During a square dance the two men got into an argument and in the fight that followed, Ackeson bested Cotner. The seriousness of the me- lee took on a comic phase when in the rough and tumble both com- batants lost their oxfords and upon retrieving them set to battering each other in the face with their shoes. Onlookers finally separated the two fighters. It ended with

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL Cotner promising his enemy that the score would be evened some other time. About a month later Ackeson dis- appeared without a trace. His ab- sence was discovered within 48 hours when he failed to show up in the neighborhood threshing ring and his livestock were found bel- lowing for water around an empty tank. This proved their owner had been gone more than one day. Fred Cotner was one of the crew driving a bundle team in the thresh- ing ring and although there was talk about the fight in the barn loft between him and Ackeson—if Cotner was connected with Acke- son’s disappearance, he must have committed a perfect crime. Noth- ing pointed to him. His whereabouts in the time the young bachelor vanished were accounted for. At the end of the threshing season Cot- ner left the community. Following Ackeson’s disappear- ance four different tenants occu- pied the Tollefson place over a period of 10 years. None of them spoke of being seriously disturbed by ghostly phenomena but their horses and dogs were disturbed and through this the farm gradu- ally acquired a bad reputation. The farm had two pastures, the larger one running parallel with the west end of the big grove. The farm’s horses usually numbered eight to 12 and the animals would not stay in the pasture alongside the grove after dusk. They would come in asnorting, galloping panic to the barn and neigh pleadingly to be stabled inside. One tenant told how one evening, just as the family was about to retire, their dog through sheer ter- 95 {SS eee eee eee NEW and AMAZING "REVELATIONS : YOU HAVE LIVED BEFORE! WHO § WERE YOU?

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL mow. But in 1920 a young, newly- wed eouple who had leased the farm decided to put on an old-fashioned barn dance following the harvest. Horses were still the means for farm implement traction and also used for road. travel. My fiancee, Ted, drove to the dance with a fine pair of matched sorrels and a top buggy. Of the 30 young cou- ples who came to the dance only two young fellows drove Model-T Fords. Naturally they were the envy of the others. We all were from the immediate community and had heard something about the strange behavior of the horses and dogs on the place but, no one had any thought for the supernatural on that glorious summer evening.

F-11 FATE yard to anything which would hold a bridle’s hitching strap. Some of the more considerate young fel- lows, mindful of their team’s com- fort, had decked blankets over them to protect the animals from the mosquitoes. The orchesta had just swung into their first piece and several couples started waltzing on the spa- cious floor, when someone came rushing up the loft’s stairway to shout that something was scaring: the horses. With one accord the young fellows scrambled downstairs and outside to see about their teams. The musicians kept on play- ing but we deserted females could hear plainly above the music the commotion made by the badly fright- ened horses. Curious, we followed our escorts downstairs and looked out from the stable doorways. Some of the teams had broken loose and in runaway gallops were dragging tip- ped over buggies behind them. Some buggies bounced furiously along still upright. Wires screeched and fire sparks flew as the fren- zied animals crashed through fences. I remember one team running past with a broken fence post strap- hitched to a bridle. The host and hostess had erected their tree-bower decorated snack stand a short ways from the barn. One runaway team hooked the stand with a buggy wheel, tearing it down in a splintering heap. * It was sometime before the men got the animals calmed down enough so they could straighten out the entangled buggies and harnesses. The dance ended right there. No one thought of going back up to the loft. Everyone wanted to get

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL out of that yard as quickly as possible. Ted and I were among the luckier ones, only two of the smaller harness straps broke and Ted fixed these in a jiffy. Ted hustled me into the buggy, saying, “The sooner we get out of here, the better. This damned place is haunted!’ : No more dances were held in that barn. The two young tenants car- ried out their year’s lease and I’ll say for them they were a couple of brave ones! In 1929 the County surveyed for the public road and, in order to have it run straight, they built it through the farm’s grove. While bulldozing out the trees a man’s skeleton was uncovered: from a four foot deep grave. From the watch and some papers still intact in the decomposing wallet, the skele- ton was identified as that of the long missing Arnold Ackeson.—Hv- ansville, Minn. FROM DOGGIE HEAVEN?

PYRAMID CENTRE - 6F 238 Carlton St. Toronto 2, Canada FATE that other persons have “funny” things happen to them; that I am not alone. In the summer of 1957 my neigh- bor, Santa Marie, had a collie who used to come over every day about noon and scratch at the door. Santa Marie, who has a ceramic school, gave her permission for us to give her our bones (except pork or chicken bones which splinter). Sometimes we gave the collie a leg-of-lamb bone or a steak bone. Sometimes we had none and gave her just a hug and a kiss and a drink of water or milk. One day about noon she scratched as usual. I opened the door and she wasn’t there. I thought perhaps her mis- tress had called her or that she had left to chase another dog. Since she did not return I thought she was- n’t hungry or she had forgotten to come back. Every day for about five days this same thing happened. I saw my neighbor and remark- ed what a strange thing it was that Tippy should disappear so suddenly every day after scratch- ing at the door. Santa Marie looked at me in surprise and said, “‘Why, didn’t you know? Tippy has been dead for about a week. She was hit by a car.” Of course, it could have been my subconscious mind. But, would I hear her every day for a week? After Santa Marie told me her dog had been killed J never heard Tippy scratch again. I don’t have an explanation for this. I only tell you what happened. —Glens Falls, N. Y. Ce

THE HAUNTED MIND, by Nandor Fodor. Helix Press, New York, N. Y., 1959. 314 pages, $5.00. William Cartheuser was a young voice medium with whom, in 1927, the young Nandor Fodor, not yet a psychoanalyst, had his first “in- terview with the dead.” Through the “spirit control” of Fletcher, who had not yet become the con- trol of Arthur Ford, Cartheuser told Fodor, in the Hungarian idiom and voice of the latter’s father, about family matters that even Fodor had forgotten. Fletcher correctly predicted that Fodor’s Uncle Vil- mos would go blind, and referred to members of the family by pet names that only an insider could have known. It was an exciting se- ance. It remained so for 16 years in Fodor’s mind until in 1943 he met Cartheuser again and found out for the first time he could speak Hungarian. To Fodor the seance instantly became tainted and all but worthless—despite the seem- ingly evidential material that Flet- cher had provided. The author con- cluded, alas, “that it is easier for a NEW camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for any researcher to gdin foolproof evidence of human survival.” Dr. Fodor’s new book emphasizes anew that competent psychical re- searchers have set themselves a standard of evidence that is almost impossible to attain. As a result they have developed an almost in- verse standard of values. They seem determined to disprove what seems highly likely and to offer compli- eated alternatives for events that appear to have much simpler ex- planations. Dr. Fodor has written a fascin- ating and exciting book even though he is also a victim of this vocation- al psychology. He goes far to raise objections to virtually all the cases he describes here. There is no “per- fect case.” And yet one cannot help but feel that this is a studied atti- tude because in the end Dr. Fodor concludes without equivocation that psychic phenomena do exist. This is one of Dr. Fodor’s best books and undoubtedly his most in- teresting. It seems to us one of the most fascinating that has come our way this year. Its interest is en- ror

ILLUSIONS AND DELUSIONS QF THE SU- PERNATURAL AND THE OCCULT, By D. H. Rawcliffe. Dover Publications, New York, N. Y. 551 pages, $2.00 The student of psychical phe- nomena cannot consider himself well versed unless he approaches his subject(s) from all _ possi- ble avenues. To engage in psy- chical research without looking at the pro’s and con’s already es- tablished, is to buy a suit of clothes without first trying it on. Mr. Rawceliffe’s work affords the serious student a long look at the con’s of such subjects as auras, levitation, automatic writing, se- ances, stigmatism and other psychi- cal phenomena in terms of psychi- eal experiences. In doing this, he quotes profusely from studies and experiments made by such notables as Pavlov, Freud, Janet and Hux- ley. At most, his arguments are compelling enough to stimulate fur- ther study in psychical research. Probably his brashest intimation in the entire book is that the field of psychology is so far progressed that little remains to be discovered about the human mind. Even Julian Huxley, who penned the foreword for the book, cannot accept all of Rawcliffe’s arguments. For he states, “I must confess that I cannot follow him in stigmatizing studies on telepathy, clairvoyance, ete. as ‘occult research’ unfit to be admitted to our universities.” In

5 Are You Worthy of Human Survival? Man does not die! He is born again many times until he reaches the stage of complete spiritual development in full communion with the Higher Intelligence. Your present life is not the only life you have lived; or can it be understood or completely mastered when judged by itself. That, in brief, is the tremendously significant message of Wilfred Brandon’s famous book, OPEN THE DOOR, transcribed through auto- matic writing by the world-renowned clairaudient, Edith Ellis. Written and dictated by Brandon of the Masters of the White Brotherhood on the Etheric Plane, the book has gone through numerous printings. The latest edition, the eleventh, containing new information from Brandon, is now avail- able to meet the ever-increasing demand for its inspiring : words of illumination to all mortals on earth. There is no work in print that gives a clearer, more intelligible explanation of the science of life in the Hereafter. Wilfred Brandon gives you the only path to follow in order not to obstruct your own spiritual evolution. How you develop and use the extrasensory capacity of your mind on the Earthly Plane, he advises, will greatly determine the kind of life you will eventually lead on the Etheric Plane. Gain Self-Mastery to Control Your Destiny in this Life and the Next! OPEN THE DOOR removes the veil of mystery from *‘‘death’. You will read of Brandon's prediction that science would one day (and has since the pub- lication of his prophetic message) uncover new information on the radio-activ- ity of body cells to bring us startlingly close to the reality of the Afterlife. He shows that so-called death is actually a rebirth on a higher plane, and traces for us the soul’s progress through the different stages of development in suc- cessive lives. He also sheds new light on — What actually takes place when mortal existence ends and the spiritual body enters the Etheric Plane — Evolution of the soul through re-incar- nation — Why so many souls, especially those felled in war, are handi- capped and make little progress when they re-incarnate — how a soul is received on the Etheric Plane: its sensations, experiences, adjustments — how acute consciousness increases when we progress to our true spiritual level — the unique position of women in the Etheric World — the new science of mating that answers the primal urge to mate with one whose nature compliments one’s own — Using Love, life’s greatest force.

Similarly, he exposes crystal gaz- ing as a form of hallucination, and says that effects produced through automatic writing, pendu- lum-swinging, table-tapping and the ouija board are dependent on mus- cular movements called ‘“ideomotor movements,” influenced by the sub- conscious. In speaking of stigmata cases, he advises, “Many of these were self- inflicted or were the result of chi- ecanery. Most of the stories, by the time they had been written down -.. Were exaggerated beyond rec- ognition.” Of the famous stigma- tist, Therese Neumann, he charges, “(She) was a deliberate fraud aid- ed and abetted by her father.” But Raweliffe fails to explain how this conclusion was reached. The Indian rope trick, according to the author, has never been per- formed in fact. The fakir merely hallucinates his gullible audience. Rawcliffe does, however, allow that “real’? water diviners are not frauds. Nevertheless, he does not hold that there is anything occult or mystical about water dowsing. Rather dowsing is influenced by thé “feel” of the texture and dampness of the earth under the dowser’s feet, the color of soil and vegeta- tion, and the dowser’s ability to hear water running underground!

Lemke, Sr. Vantage Press, Inc., New York, 1960. 98 pages, $2.50. As often has been pointed out, the Bible can be interpreted in a multitude of ways to support a mul- titude of theories or claims. Author Lemke, a Minnesota farmer for most of his life and a Bible student by avocation, presents one of the more unique interpretations we have seen —and one certain to arouse contro- versy. The main purpose of his book— which he explains at the very out- set is not a religious one—is to of- fer an interpretation of the ‘‘King- dom of God” promised in the Scrip- tures. According to Lemke, the Kingdom of God is not a church, nor is it heaven, nor is it Christ ruling in the hearts of men. It is the democratic form of government— rule of, by and for the people—a thesis at which he arrives through a step-by-step interpretation of certain words and prophecies in the Bible. . His thesis, of course, stands or falls on the correctness, or the 105 PROVE YOUR PSYCHIC POWERS WITH A PLANCHETTE! THE PLANCHETTE IS A MECHANICAL MEANS FOR AUTOMATIC WRITING.

The Mystic Arts Book Society invites you to accept this book YOU RS. List Price: $5.95 $5.95 EVERYWHERE — YOURS FREE Cosmic CONSCIOUSNESS is rightly considered to be one of the great classics of mystical experience. It is not only a powerful and moving book, it is so daring that, although written almost sixty years ago, it is still ahead of its time. A book of this sort can only be produced under very special circumstances. Its author must be a brave and unconventional man who has not only the authority of scientific training and the prestige of an eminent position in that world, but also deep-seated emotional conviction based upon per- sonal experience, Richard Maurice Bucke was just that man. Born in Canada in 1837 he was orphaned in childhood and spent years working on railways and steamboats and as a miner and prospector. At 21 he returned to his birthplace and graduated from McGill Medical School with distinction, becoming a leading psychiatrist, President of the Psychological Section of the British Medical Asociation, President of the American Medico-Psychological Association, Superintendent of the Provincial Asylum for the Insane at Hamilton, Ontario, and Professor of Mental and Nervous Diseases at Western University. At 36 he had the sudden and illuminating metaphysical experience that lightened his life thereafter and led to the production of this remarkable book. This extraordinary event proved to be not an isolated occurrence, or a mental aberration, but the emergence of a new faculty which was neither supernatural nor supranormal, but the natural outgrowth of our present level of consciousness to a level that is as far above ours as ours is above the simple consciousness of animals. Dr. Bucke calls this faculty cosmic consciousness. He believes that the men who possess it, such as Buddha, Jesus, Paul, Dante, Spinoza, Blake, Balzac, Whitman, and a growing number of others in our time, are forerunners of the beings who will eventually people the earth. or: More: of.

Moreover, Lemke interrelates Old Testament prophecies and cites cor- roborative passages in the New Testament to demonstrate that the promised Kingdom already exists in nations which have embraced dem- ocratic government. This “Govern- ment of God,” he states, presenting a wide range of supporting Bibli- eal references, will become more firmly established on earth. But not until the whole earth achieves dem- ocratic rule as intended by God, will all men enjoy peace and pros- perity. Lemke contends that the Bible does not teach coexistence of op- posing systems of government. In the face of the efforts of such a system as communism to gain dom- inance through propaganda and subversion “to fail to teach demo- cratic government to all nations is a great mistake. There will be no lasting peace on earth until demo- eratie government is established in every nation.” Thus the book is not without a certain timeliness and significance. Challenging and thought-provoking, it should be of interest not only to Bible scholars but to all who seek in the Bible a message of hope in these troubled times.—Regie Stecher.

REPORT FROM THE READERS BOOSTS FOR “TRUE SIGHT” In the October issue of FATE, two gentlemen (?) insinuate that “True Sight,” as demonstrated by Mar- garet Foos, is the result of trickery. Mr. Cecil Clayton stated that he wanted all FaTE readers to know “this special blindfold may be bought from magic supply houses.” The self-styled Amazing (?) Maurice states: “I can duplicate the effects that this girl accomplishes; this so- called effect can be done very easily under any condition; my associate, Mare Owen, will put up $1,000 that says he will be able to duplicate any effect she does. Yet he claims trickery as his method.” I underscore the word “effect” in order to expose it as a fine example of verbal legerdemain. Using the word “effect,” Maurice draws at- tention away from the fact that he does not claim to duplicate “True Sight” but only a sterile imitation. It is quite obvious that neither Mr. Clayton nor Maurice has ever witnessed a “True Sight” demon- stration, yet both have jumped from a false premise to an unwarranted conclusion. I do not condemn skep- ticism per se, but when it is preju- dicial, it contributes nothing to truth and, if unrestrained, fosters the continuation of ignorance. Therefore, as a student of “True Sight,” and witness to many of Margaret’s demonstrations, I vouch | SEE the HUMAN AURA! a vital step toward PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT Aura researchers have now developed a mechanical means of learning to see the human aura — permanent optically per- fect filters mounted in a pair of gog- gles adjustable to your head-size.

Margaret uses a foolproof blindfold which may be examined by anyone—including magicians. 2. “True Sight” does not claim to be the result of supernatural pow- ers—it is something latent in every person, an extension of the biologi- cal man. 3. The blindfold is used to shut out physical sight while it acts as a switch to activate “True Sight.” In fact, physical sight working si- multaneously with “True Sight” would cause considerable confusion because the extended vision is not focused through the physical eyes except in the case of blind students. —Betty Danko, Hollywood, Calif. While my niece and I were visit- ing in the Foos home, Margaret came in to give us a demonstration. She looked around -for her blindfold and so I handed her mine. After the blindfold was adjusted, my niece took a small book out of her purse and asked Margaret to read verse on page 10 and also on page 20. Margaret found and read from both pages very easily, then handed the book back for verifica- tion. Although the day was very cloudy and the room dark, she read as eas- ily as I would have done with my glasses on and a light in the room. Now my blindfold is made of two pieces of heavy black rayon taffeta, with crinoline in between and two pads which fit either side of the nose and under the eyes so no light can possibly get in. Wearing it, one cannot see even in a lighted room, and further, instructions are to keep the eyes closed at all times.

BALLS OF FIRE Between the years of 1921 to 1925 and again from 1927 to 1935, I was brought up in the small town of Ineu, Judetal Arad (the state), Romania. — Ineu is divided about equally by a river that flows from east to west (into Hungary). To the south of town, a county seat, is a small hill (the last of the Carpathian Moun- tains as they disappear into the Tisa Valley). At the top of this hill is a hole, described as being the entrance to a tunnel running from the top of the hill all the way to and into the town, where an old Turkish garri- son used to stand on the north side of the river. I never have seen the hole, but I have been told by many persons of its existence. According to these persons, every so often someone almost would go berserk because he found himself chased by a red-yellow ball of fire which originated on top of the hill and rolled down into the valley, disappearing as it crossed the river-bridge. It always came down the same street and disappeared by the river. There were no autos and no auto headlights at the time these inci- dents reportedly took place. In 1924 my mother, my sister, and I were all awake in one bed- room when, from the foot of the double bed, a brilliant orange-yel- low ball of fire rose and splattered upon the ceiling. We noticed no heat from it and nothing was burn- ed or scorched.

So far I have received 59 replies to the questionnaire, and they are still arriving, although more slowly than at first. The general calibre —-— 113 of this group of replies is much higher than the replies I received. in 1958—over three-fourths of them could be placed in the “selected” group since they were able to an- swer all the questions in a manner that indicates a definite ability along this line. Although the answers have not yet been tabulated, the trend of the replies leads me to believe that the conclusions reached in the article will continue to hold true.—Lowis C.

Be- sides, we all heard the splash and saw the puddle appear mysteriously. We thought perhaps a pipe from the upstairs plumbing had sprung a leak. We examined the ceiling and walls in that corner of the room but found no water marks or wet spots. Then we thought perhaps one of us had watered the artificial plant on the TV set by mistake. We checked but found the container bone dry. We thoroughly inspected the TV set itself but it, too, was bone dry. To this day none of us can explain the mysterious appearance of that puddle of water under our TV set. —Mrs. J. R. Rose, Toronto, Ont., Canada. "TOO FAR OUT” In the item “Music From Out There” in “I See By the Papers” in the October, 1960, issue, the idea is advanced that echoes that took 15 seconds to return might have bounced off an artificial satellite from another star. Forget it. These waves would have traveled a total distance of 2,- 840,000 miles. Thus the object re- flected from would be 1,420,000 miles distant. True, this is much too far out for the moon, and too close for any major planet. However, there are several as- teroids which come quite close to Earth (i.e., Eros). There also are small comets that give off no light, and many meteors, some weighing several tons. I’m sure not all as- teroids and comets have been dis- covered, and astronomy couldn’t be- gin to record all meteors.—Victor A. Hill, Detroit, Mich.

Advertising Director, Clark Publishing Co., $45 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Il, FATE | THE BLACK SPHERES Recently I was introduced to Fate Magazine by a friend who loaned me about a dozen copies, I was unable to put them down un- til I had read every one. I always have been interested in the occult but have been confined to what can be found in library books. En- closed is my check for a subscrip- tion. Perhaps some of your readers can give you an explanation of the following experience I used to have every night as a child and in my early teens. Just in the twilight state before sleep came I would feel a floating sensation. Then I would tingle all over and two spheres would ap- pear to be coming toward me. Ev- erything was black but the spheres were so much blacker than any- thing else that they were visible. One of them was huge and gave me a feeling difficult to describe. The other was tiny and made me feel pinpricks all over my face and hands. It was as though I were far out in space and saw them from a great distance. When I told my wife of this she was surprised as she had the same experience as a child. I would wel- come any communication from read- ers who are interested in the oc- cult and if any live near me in Buffalo, I would like to meet them. I also would like to study Zen un- der a competent Master, not the modern Western type and not by correspondence, and would appre- ciate being directed to someone in the Western New York area.—Al- bert G.

MYSTERY OF THE SEA BOOTS After the war we reaped the harvest of the North Sea’s idle years. Nets had been stowed and we were making for port. Exhaust- ed, I fell asleep on my bunk fully clothed, sea boots and all. I awoke, choking as from smoke, but there was no fire, only the un- mistakable sickly smell of death. My senses cleared immediately and I jumped up. I was surprised to find I was in my stockinged feet. My boots were nowhere to be seen. As I searched around for them there was a terrific explosion and then— nothing. I recovered consciousness in a hospital, the sole survivor of an encounter with a stray mine. Survival after big explosions in small craft is not uncommon, and unconscious men sometimes float long enough to be rescued. But two- things puzzled me. Firstly, the smell that had waked me. I dismissed this as the finale to a vivid dream, but the missing boots could not be so easily explained. I could not have removed them with- out rising, so J decided that a ship- 117 Scientific Astrologer,MAFA Your Full Life Reading.

Two months later my young son proudly displayed an old pair of sea boots procured cheaply from a beachcomber. My smile disappeared as I saw on the toe of the right boot a red oxide cross-mark—ex- actly as on my own lost boots! Are the boots really mine? A co- incidence, or a reminder of some protecting power? I do not know.— S. George, Lewes, Sussex, England. SEEING MAGNETIC CURRENTS I can see magnetic currents in the universe. Some days these cur- rents seem to move faster than others and in different directions. They appear white and look like a fine rain coming down. Do any of your readers share this gift? I would like to compare notes with them if they wish to write me. While I was a masseuse in Flor- ida, I frequently had patients who could see these currents also and others who could tell me the color of the aura around the particular areas I happened to be working on at the time. Through these gifts we could observe the rapid healing that was taking place in all of the congested areas. I constantly used the magnetic currents in the uni- verse to help heal and relax all of my patients. I always made it a practice to keep the head of my massage table to the magnetic North, so as to use the currents to the best ad- vantage. One of my patients was so sensitive to the North-South po- sition that if the table were just a few inches off magnetic North, she sensed it; and upon checking

REPORT FROM THE READERS it with my compass I found she was right every time.—Lynne Henslee, R.N., R.M., 5401 55th St. Sacra- mento, Calif. FISHES AND FROGS I have. a theory which may ex- plain the ice falls and the rains of fishes and frogs. During World War II a method of “torpedo-proofing” cargo ships was developed in Canada. In tests it proved highly successful and feas- ible to apply to any iron ship and only the quick ending of the war prevented the method from actually being used. A mixture of water and (I be- lieve) sawdust was frozen onto the hull of the ship, completely coating it to a thickness of several feet. This ice sheath proved very resistant to both torpedoes and the melting ef- fect to be expected from warmer waters. It was maintained and re- newed by internal refrigeration. Now, possibly, space craft are visiting our planet and submerging in small lakes in order to freeze a sheath of ice around the craft to ward off the “shrapnel” of outer space, namely meteors and meteor- ites. - In which case it would be likely that sometimes small fishes or frogs would be frozen into the ice around the UFO. The ice falls may be either chunks of ice chipped off the UFO by a meteor or the UFO may melt off the ice deliberately before coming to the Earth’s sur- face to renew the coating. If the ice containing the fish or frogs melted before reaching Earth we would have a heavy but localized rainfall accompanied by aquatic life. 12 SPECIAL OFFER to FATE Gollectors 5 Back Issues $1.00 We have on hand a few copies of each back issue listed below.

I22 Has anyone found ice chunks fallen from the sky with fish or frogs or other aquatic life frozen in them? — Robert Whiteman, Jean- nette, Pa. FROGS FROM THE SKY I have read so many comments on frogs from the sky in your very enlightening magazine. Yet it is not news to me, as I shall relate. When I was a young child in the village of Chapleau, Ont., Can- ada, my sister, our neighbor and myself used to go down to the lake on hot summer afternoons to watch the sun suck up the water and go out in a canoe to get into the spray. Some days we’d make it just in time to watch a rain of frogs. We’d stand on the shore and just love the feel of the little frogs as FATE they fell on us, bounced off our heads and rolled off our backs. The head man in the pump house used to give us tin cans to gather them-up. We made canals to keep the frogs in and would go back daily to see them. They were our playmates and we watched them grow. We did this for a good many years and no one thought it unusual. We figured then that they were sucked up by the sun and when the clouds got too heavy with frogs it would rain frogs. We watched for the black cloud over the lake and would race to the shore to get the deluge of frogs as they came down. This became an almost daily part of our lives in the years of 1924, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28, 729. Then we grew up and forgot the frogs in favor of boys who (Continued on Page 129) STATEMENT REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF AUGUST 24, 1912, AS AMENDED BY' THE ACTS OF MARCH 3, 1933, JULY 2, 1946 AND JUNE II, 1960 SHOWING THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, AND CIRCULATION OF FATE MAGAZINE, published monthly at Evanston, Blinoils, for October 1, 1960.

REPORT FROM THE READERS. seemed more: interesting. — Jean D. Byers, Toronto, Ont., Canada ANOTHER CREMATION A friend has just described to me a case of body burning which oc- curred in her family. Her brother, married to a woman who drank heavily, was awakened from a sound sleep at 5:00 o’clock one morning by his wife’s screams. Rushing to the living room he saw a fire-ball which almost obstructed his view of his wife who was lying on the floor burning fiercely. He was severely burned trying desper- ately to extinguish the fire. Neigh- bors, who heard his calls for help, came and threw buckets of water over her. An ambulance rushed her to the hospital. She died five hours later. Her clothing had been destroy- ed but the rug where she lay was not burned, nor was the room damaged by the fire. No cause for the fire was determined by the investigation. This case is typical of others that have been written up, but per- haps the real cause of all of them is indicated in this particular in- stance. As my friend’s brother de- seribed it over and over, the fire- ball stood out as the dominant part of the picture. Possibly a fireball could incinerate a body without damaging the surroundings. But what attracts fireballs to these especial victims? This could rule out the theory of “spontaneous combustion,” by of- fering a reasonable explanation in- volving an outside agency. And fireballs have an established history through the centuries. — Rev.
